Well… for me the official part of the $100 a day challenge is over… actually it was over last week. My 90 days saw me build one complete new website, and start another 4 which are in various stages of being completed. Who’s to say when a website is completed? I don’t think they’re ever complete myself.

• Bottom line… Was I successful in achieving my goal of making of $100 a day from adsense? … no.
• Was I successful in making $100 a day from new projects on the Internet? … YES, and a very resounding YES YES YES!

I have well and truly been earning over $100 a day from a new project started within my 90 days. Actually, it was started only about 5 weeks ago.

I’m always looking for affiliate programs to promote on my new websites, and that’s how I came across the Ezy-FX site. I was looking for a program for my dx currency articles pages. I already had another Currency Exchange training program advertized on them, but I wanted something else.

Ezy-FX teaches you how to trade foreign currencies - yen, euro, pound, dollar, etc. You can trade currencies whenever you want, 24 hours a day 5½ days a week. Anyway, I looked into this FX Training program, and I got excited… I saw a way to set myself free from the drudgery of working for someone else 5 days a week, 52 weeks of the year.

And because I needed to join in order to promote it, I decided to learn what they are training as well. Plenty of people join just to build a referral income, because it pays so well… they pay out over 80% of their total revenue back to the members. Now that in and of itself, is a good enough reason to join. However I started talking with some successful members who were trading the Forex with what they were learning, and that’s what got me in.

So, three weeks after joining, I opened a live trading account and I started applying what I was learning…

The bottom line is that I’m making well over $100 a day clear profit from momentum trades alone, (it’s more like $200 a day now) and it will only get better and better as I learn day and swing trading techniques.

What have I learned from this 90 day Challenge started by Nadav?

1. I’ve learned how easily I’m distracted.
2. Distractions can be a blessing in disguise.
3. I’m hopeless at meeting deadlines.
4. Each night I need to make a “to do” list for the next day.

I hope everyone else achieved something from their challenge, or at least learned something from it.

Nadav, congratulations on starting this thing off. I know it grew into much more than you anticipated, but that’s the nature of the Internet I think.

I now have 5 new websites to work on over the coming months if I get the time, and I’ve got a fast growing FX Training business, and Forex Trading account that is ballooning in size very fast. I’m looking forward to retiring from my “JOB” within 5 or 6 weeks, and going trading full-time.

::: EDITED SINCE FIRST BEING POSTED ::: DON’T TRY THIS, AS IT Could get your site banned in Google!!! :::
I haven’t tried this yet, (AND CERTAINLY NOW DON’T RECOMMEND IT) but it sounds like an amazing technique for getting a top ranking in Google. NOT!!! Written by Alexis Dawes it is a very different idea to all the common methods peddled all over the SEO forums lately.

Every man and his dog is producing some cheap $29.95 pdf eBook that contains nothing more than reprinted information that’s freely available for anyone with the brains to use a search engine. Alexis presently is dealing with the horror of her daughter having to contend with Leukemia, so her books are no longer available. I’ve not read anything else produced by this lady, but if it’s anything like the following article, it would be brilliant.

A Back Road Loophole For Getting a Top Google Ranking
By Alexis Dawes

While everybody wants their site to receive a top 10 ranking in Google, it’s just not possible for everyone.

And this is especially true if you’ve got a brand new site. New sites that have been crawled by the Googlebot are sometimes given a decent ranking in Google for a few days before they plunge to the depths of Neverworld.

What a TEASE that Google is!

The unknowing webmaster thinks they’ve hit paydirt with an almost instantaneous top 20-30 listing. Then one day - POOF - their site is gone as fast as it arrived.

Now the webmaster has to prove that the site has staying power by getting links from other sites within its niche. Not just any links. Links from sites with a decent PageRank would really do the trick. Getting listed in the infamous Yahoo! or Open Directory would be even better.

That’s what the experts constantly tell us. And in fact, it’s all 100% true.

——————————————————————————–

However as the old saying goes… There’s more than one way to skin a cat.

——————————————————————————–

One of the things I teach my readers is that your site doesn’t necessarily need a top 10 position in Google in order for you to be successful.

You can get your marketing message listed in Google’s top 10 results for your targeted keyword, and still get a ton of traffic to your web site.

Let me explain how it works…

1) You advertise on a specific site. (I’ll tell you about this site in a few moments.) This advertisement will promote your web site;

2) Your advertisement gets spidered by the Googlebot.

3) Your advertisement receives a top Google ranking for your targeted keyword.

4) People see your advertisement in Google, and click on to your actual web site.

5) And this has NOTHING to do with placing an AdWords advertisement.

It’s a fantastic little loophole that most people don’t know about. And I’ve seen it work consistently for many different niches.

——————————————————————————–

This loophole works because–

1) Google LOVES itself.

2) Google trusts that expert researchers are going to lead searchers to the
right tools.

——————————————————————————–

You see Google has an interesting service called Google Answers (http://answers.google.com/answers/).

Users submit specific questions to Google Answers, and specify how much they’re willing to pay for the answer. They accept questions on all types of topics ranging from arts and entertainment, business, health, science, and so on.

Google has an arsenal of 500 researchers who answer these questions.

While Google isn’t accepting any more researchers, anybody with a Google account can post comments answering questions. People who post comments don’t get paid like researchers, but that’s not the important part.

——————————————————————————–

Now here’s where it gets juicy–

——————————————————————————–

I’ve noticed that Google loves to list questions and answers from Google Answers within their top 10 search results.

For example, somebody posted a query saying that they needed a list of brokers who buy and sell used LED boards. You can view the query here: (http://answers.google.com/answers/threadview?id=458689)

I ran a search on Google for the keyphrase “LED boards” and sure enough, this exact query from Google Answers showed up in the #2 position.

Any LED board broker could get a ton a free publicity here.

All they’d have to do is post a comment to this query listing their company as broker of LED boards. You can even list URL’s in the comment.

And VOILA your job is done.

Your marketing message is listed in the #2 position under an extremely targeted keyphrase.

It’s free, and you didn’t have to break a sweat to do it. You simply added some information about your site, and got instant rank.

——————————————————————————–

Making this technique work for you.

——————————————————————————–

Google Answers receives many new queries every day.

Your job is to keep an eagle eye out for queries that you can post comments to, referring people back to your site.

But it’s important to do a quick check several times a week.

It took less than 2 weeks from the time the LED board question was posted, till it reached the #2 position in Google’s main search.

You want to make sure you get prime advertising space before the query gets a top 10 ranking. This way you maximize how much traffic you receive.
