Please help,
I am giving up submitting my blogs to blogcatalog, both of them have been declined. Below is the email I received. Has anyone being lucky? Why they claimed my plrpro blog is spam.

cheers

Thank Walt. I suppose you are right. I find it is very time consuming to get the traffic to our websites, do you have problem doing it. I am so sad, cos I only make $1.42 after 40 days with 4 blogs, while others are making lots more. I have to reevaluate what I have not done .

Cheers

Hi,

Brad Cullen offers a free article submitter. Go to discounts in the main PLRPro website and start submitting to more than one at a time.

Hello,
Going to try and give you something to think about. Ok, if I click on all of your sites that you have in your sig, Your #1 recommended product for all of your sites is Wedding info???? I want pain relief and I see wedding info for what you are recommending to me, I am leaving. Hair loss, #1 recommended product, again wedding info??? I am leaving again.

Why would you have wedding info on everyone of your sites after 40 days? Just a question??? Isn't there a product (affiliate) that was in your pack that you can recommend for each of your niches??? I know there is.
This could be the reason you are not making any money???? People see this wedding info, completely off topic and they split.

Another thought, you have not experimented with moving your adsense around. All of your sites have the leaderboard above the header pic, why not try and move it below the header pic on a couple sites to see what it does???? Just a thought. Is something is not working change it up and find out what people want,, just a thought. You still have the default colors in your adsense. Green for the url, bla, that is the worst color you can have try changeing it to #999999 which is a lite grey, much better.

You need to start and do a little experimenting with your sites, that is what I did, until I found out what worked. And I still experiment to this day to try and improve the CTR on my sites.

I go to some of your sites and you have product reviews #2, #3, etc and there is nothing in them, I am leaving your site. If you are not using them, then take them out, delete them, until you have something to put in there.

These are just simple things that I see. M & D give you the ideas, you have to take them and run with them. What they give is not locked in stone, change it up, spin it a different way and you will start to see results.

How many links do you have???? Have you submitted to web directories??? Blog post that you asked about the other day??? Without links you will never move up the search engines for your keywords and when that happens, that means you will have zero traffic and that ultimately means you make a $1.42. That is what that means. You can do some article submitting as cobwab says. Great way to get links. Make sure you use and do the anchor text in your articles correctly, which has been talked about in this forum.

This IM stuff is not as easy as it seems. Put it up and they will come is not correct in the IM field. It is easy if you do the right things. M & D have layed that out. I know they talk about product post, web directory submissions, article submissions, reciprocal linking. Are these things being done on all of your sites??? If not, then you are not doing as the plan is layed out. After 40 days, I would think that you would make more than $1.42 or whatever it is. Should be $20-$25 maybe more if the right things have been done to promote the 4 sites that you have put up.

Don't get me wrong the sites look fine, but they are not correct. You can do this, I know you can. Use the information that I have just given you to correct some of the mistakes that you have. You have to play around with this stuff, but doesn't it make sense that if I am going to a pain site, why would I have anything having to do with WEDDINGS? Right????? The little things make a big difference. People surfing have many choices and if our sites don't entice them to stay, they are gone in a matter of a few seconds. That is all the time you have so we better make the most of those few seconds.

I sure hope you don't take this the wrong way. I am only trying to help you and others who are out there, wondering why they are not getting any clicks and making any money. You have to do the small things. There is a lot more than running the installer and post a few articles and the money is going to fall off a tree. No way.......The system is there, modify it, change it, but most of all use it correctly, the way that it is supposed to be used.

I hope you understand what I have said here and I don't mean to be or appear to be mean at you. That was not my intent. I took the time to write this because I want to see you and everyone else SUCCEED at this and it can be done. Do the small things right is the answer....CONTENT AND LINKS, CONTENT AND LINKS, CONTENT AND LINKS, that will get you the traffic you are looking for and then you will start to see the $$$$ grow. Don't focus on the money, provide information that people want and need and then get some links for that content, then you are going to see the $$$$. If you focus on the $$$$ it will never come

Have a great rest of your weekend,
Steve

Hey Steve,

Thankyou for taking the time to lay it all out for us.

Hi to both of you,
I know I haven't fully followed the plan because I am busy writing articles, I feel like I am running a marathon here, it is nearly 1am here and i am still editing the articles!!!, you are right, I should delete the recommendation if I have not done anything yet. Links- I have problems getting them.. I did tried to link to your site but don't know how to check..I know I sound stupid!!!heee

I want to be successful, but I find myself way behind sometimes. So are you suggesting I shouldn't build more sites until I have done all what are required to my 4 sites first?

Let me sleep first and will think of more questions to ask.

I am so grateful both of you two are so helpful. I am feeling giddy now, have to go to bed soon. Nite

cheers

Hello,
YOu said it right a marathon. This is not a sprint, it is a marathon. Like the tortoise and the Hair, who won????

I am not telling you what to do at all. All I know is when I started to build my next site, I knew that I had completed all the tasks for the previous ones. Why just keep putting up sites that are going to do you zero good??? I mean that doesn't even make sense to me, but hey, it is your business. I just stated what I saw in my previous post, thats all. You can do anything you like, it is your business.

You say you are falling behind, behind what???? The ninety day challenge??? What difference is it going to make if you get the 12 sites up and you still make a $1.42, what good is that?????

If you are determined to do the 90dc, then make sure that each site as you move along is completed. It is not like you build a site and then forget you have it, there are things that you are supposed to do each day on different sites. The 90dc is not easy to keep up with, I will be the first to admit that. It is a road map, that is all. It tells you how to get from NY to California, but there is nothing saying that you can't decide that you may want to see the grand canyon along the way, so you go there. But when you have seen it, you get back on the road that you layed out when you started. Do things rights.

You say you have trouble getting links? I just explained how to do it. Article submission, web directories, etc.....I know it is a pain in the rump, I don't like it either, but it has to be done. If you don't like it, hire some body, get somebody else to do it. There are people out there that do linking for money, but if you can't or want or need to do it yourself, then teach yourself how to do it. That is what I did. Go to google and type the question in, you will get answers, a lot of answers, that is what I did when I didn't know how to do something or wanted to learn something. Ask google??? It is not that hard. Linking is a pain, but it MUST BE DONE and done correctly. typing your address in for your anchor text is going to get you no where. There are videos on how to do anchor text right, ask google, use the search in this forum, the answers are right in front of you if you take the time to look.
Now if you don't link, I promise you this for sure. You are destined to fail. I thought I wrote this in the last post but I will do it again to make sure everyone knows what is the MOST important things to do right, ready, here we go: CONTENT AND LINKING, CONTENT AND LINKING. Doesn't matter how you do it, just DO IT.

Again, I am not picking on you or trying to make you mad at me. I am trying to help you succeed and you can. There are NO SHORTCUTS TO SUCCESS. It is a long and winding road with many bumps, pot holes, curves in it. Take the road less traveled. If it were easy don't you think that everyone would do it. A lot try and most fail, but M & D have given you the path, it is up to you to find a way to navigate around the obstacle's. They can't do everything for you or even show you everything, you will never learn anything if that were the case.

Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day,
Teach him how to fish and you feed him for his life.....

You must be able to find information and teach yourself some things, it is a part of life. So when you don't understand something, do a search for it in google, in the forum. Chances are you will find the answer you are looking for. I can't imagine what is on your mind has not been asked before. Search, search, search......learn, learn, learn.

PS
I can tell you why my links that are on your site are not working, it is because you did not enter the anchor text as I had asked. You put my url as the anchor text and that is not correct. The anchor text is the keyword phrase that I want to rank for. Not my url. For example if you were to see something like this:
<a href="http://www.tendonitistypesdotcom">Tendonitis Symptom</a> my anchor text is the phrase and not the url. The url is linked (hyperlinked) to the phrase that I want to rank for. I hope that helps you in the future.

Keep up the good work and keep learning everyday something new...
Steve

Steve,
Hi I don't know what time is it now where you are, it's 10.56am here. Thanks for your long and informative reply. You know what I won't get angry with you, why should I. You took the trouble to give me valuable advice, I am so grateful for you. I wish I could write like you. I am trying following all your advice ( i even print it out), you know time factor , right? and yes I will complete what I have to do with my 4 websites first. Yes, I will link and link and link. Are those links you provide here all you have or you don't mind to give more so that I can link to all of your sites that are relevant to mine?

Could you please help me on how to put my signature with a links on squidoo or hubpages when I am giving my comments? Hope no trouble for you.

Cheers got to have breakfast.

Hello,
I gave you the code in the above post, it was the <a href tag>, just use your url and the keyword phrase you want to rank for.
Steve
