Ok, so the test site is done.  I will add one more post once the site is indexed add it to Traffic Bug and Link Juicer and thats it.  I’ll do no more promotion at all accept maybe one article to ezinearticles.com but honestly, that shouldn’t be necessary.  Subscribe to the RSS to keep appraised of updates and progress.

Update 23 November – Somewhat amazingly the site has been indexed by BING and occupies position 4 for it’s primary keyword.  I never saw that coming.  The site has been indexed by Google but is not currently ranking which has also surprised me given the minimal level of competition.  Still early days yet.

I’m writing this post to put a bit of pressure on myself.  I  can generally get a site indexed and ranked in Google in 3 days now.  This got me thinking could I build a site and make $1,000 between now and the end of January.  Well, I’ve bought the domain and started to configure Wordpress and now need create the  content.  It will be an interesting experiment and will be either a great success or a spectacular failure.  The keyword is in the domain name and it gets 8,000 searches per month.  It’s a fiercely competitive niche but the competition for the long tail phrase I’m targeting is very low.

I hope to get the content finished by Tuesday and the site indexed by the end of the week.  Now I’ve told you about it I need to get the work done!
