What happens after 90 days?

[dehamilton]

On April 10th I will have completed my 90 day challenge. At that point I will have 15 sites and I have already come to the scheduled end of the plan for the first site.

My question is ... where do we go from here with our sites? Do we continue to add content to the sites? Do we continue to send articles to the directories? Do we add RSS feeds?

I know I should not just abandoned the sites and let them go stagnant, but I would like Marc and Daniel's counsel as to what they suggest for maintaining the sites once we have completed the 90 day plan for each site. :?:

Thanks guys.

We will have another plan for 90 to 180 days.

That should see you refine the sites that you want to do well on and expand them beyond just a blog. And continue the filtration process with other sites.

Basically you should be meeting the 90 day challenge income level first, which shouldnt be hard, infact you should do more then that. Then you can look at taking things to a new level on the sites that are performing.

Not to mention the difference you will get in Search Engine rankings between days 90 and days 270 are huge. So with tender care your sites will only ever do better.

That's exciting. I look forward to the 90 to 180 day plan since I am on day 91 right now. When can we expect that to come out?

You mentioned that we should be meeting the 90 day challenge income level first but I don’t recall reading anywhere what that level would be. And meanwhile, assuming the sites have not reached that level, what do we do?

Probably a lot of that will be covered when you introduce the 90 to 180 day plan, but I don’t want to lose momentum while I am waiting. So if you have any suggestions as to what we should do until that comes out there are no doubt a lot of us who would appreciate it.

One thing I am doing is adding one new article a week to each site to keep any of them from stagnating. But I can’t keep doing that long and still add new sites at the rate of one a week.

So I hope you won’t leave us in limbo too long. You have brought us this far and for that we are really grateful. I look forward to the next steps.

PS: I had my first $5.00 plus day with AdSense yesterday, and it is already $3.66 today so I can see that things are increasing.

After 90 days my sites have started to snowball and bring in more and more traffic. In another 6 months I should have some good PR and my sites will of aged a little. This in turn with the new posts will give my sites even more traffic.

I only made my first affiliate sale after the 90 day mark. I think it would be nice if the guide after 90 days focused more on affiliate products and services. Google adsense in my opinion should be more of an extra way to monetize a site and the affiliate products and services should be the main money earners.

Also I have sites that get solid traffic each day and others that only get a small hyandful of visitors. I have found that focusing on the sites that already are ranking good for my chosen long tail keywords is the best way to go. I spend very little time on the sites that do not get much traffic and more on the sites that do.
