To start a new niche website in the next 30 days could be your next Target. Break it down even furrher – idea crystallisation wk1, research wk 2, plan your first 3 posts wk 3, choose theme n go live wk 4

I was actually starting off during the competition days, spirits were high and luckily I ended up with right blogs and got some really good traffic.

I have been planning to start some niche sites for so long, havent started a single one yet. Should try them soon.

Thanks for the mention of theme, unusual emoticon ;-]

In my case, I always complete my short term objectives and fail in the long term ones. So splitting the long term ones into smaller short term goals actually makes sense

That is some professional advice.

Yeah, look at me there in 5th place.. madworldwii.com
Unlike yourself I had no idea what I was doing.. did some link exchanges, blog commenting, some unique article wizard submissions, very basic blog posts.. maybe 10 total?
The game was such a flop my host went down with that site and I didn’t even bother re-uploading it for the $15/month it was making me. Lol.
I went from a newer site PR0 on like 11-31-2008 to a PR4 by the end of the competition.
Nothing like your traffic success Arun… not hardly.

Thanks for letting me participate Ajith!

Lately my focus has been on creating specific niche targeted sites for evergreen niches… products that will almost always be necessary. IE: Spyware Removal, Debt Consolidation, etc – something that can make me money indefinitely once I obtain page1 rankings and heavy traffic.

I like your theme btw ;->

In order to meet your long term goal (or even annual goals), you need to break down goals into objectives that are SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic and Timely). In performance management theory, unless you set precise, measurable and time bound objectives, you aren’t going to excel anywhere and meet your goals (short, mid and long term)

‘Make $500 before July 31st Online’ is almost a SMART objective
