CB Journal Day 12: Bouncing Around
Thursday, August 12, 2010 19:12So last night when I went to bed, my site was showing at position #9, but this morning it was at #12 (again), and then by the afternoon I was sitting at #8. This actually isn’t very unusual for new sites, and it will take a while for it to settle down. Hopefully with some more EzineArticle links coming in in the next week or two, it will move up a few slots as well by the end of the month.
I wasn’t able to get another post written last night for the blog, but I did get an Aweber newsletter list and form set up and posted to the site. I’m really bad when it comes to capturing emails. I would say it’s one of my weakest flaws right now. It’s worse because I know lists are important. I just hate setting them up and have some kind of mental block about it, probably because I hate receiving spam emails in my box from bad lists that I have somehow gotten on.
Right now it’s just a plain newsletter sign up form, but ideally I’ll come up with some freebie report to give away to help increase sign-ups, such as “Ten Tips For a Successful Master Cleanse” (or something like that). I’ll probably put that together after I have finished the cleanse, however, so what I write will be based on honest experience (whatever I decide to write).
In terms of visits and hops, yesterday had twelve unique visitors and I had six hops (and one order impression). It’s hard to tell accurately how many visitors are coming from this site and how many are coming from elsewhere – but it looks like about half are coming from the Master Cleanse forum I’m posting on, and half are coming from this blog.
In terms of content, today I’ve added my Day 6 update and I may try to get another keyword post up as well (depending on my energy level).

Hi Carrie – One week in now, and feeling great today! Yesterday I was pretty low energy, but no more headaches (thank goodness)! Only three more days to go now…
