All right! I made my first sale yesterday. It would have been a lot more exciting if I didn’t have a fever at the time. But nevertheless, it cheered me up a bit.
Instantly, to go with the fever, I contracted another dangerous thingie: the Chronic Refresh Syndrome (CRS). I began refreshing my stats every minute to check whether a new sale was made. Of course, just as when watching a pot boil, sales weren’t happening.
It’s when I took a nap and woke up I found out that another 3 sales were winking at me. To make the story short, when I went to sleep for the night I had 10 sales, and then in the morning there were another 10!
Naturally my sleep was troubled that night. Visions of mountains of cash and FedEx people delivering my cheques were bothering me all night. Those additional 10 sales were a little disappointing considering my last dream before waking up was checking the stats and seeing 109 sales…
I don’t know why but the PR of this blog was slapped down to 0. WTF?
What could I have possibly done to piss Google off?
Anyway, I don’t really care. I don’t make money with this blog anyway.
Only 2 sales today. Traffic is 10% of what it was yesterday. I’m currently using only Adwords, which is Google. Are they zeroing in on me, and shutting my internet ventures down?
Well, I do care about this, so I’m going to look into it somehow.
So, this was a quick update. If you have any questions – shoot. In the comments, please.

Great congratulations on your first sale, I also noticed a slump in sales around the holiday season, starting to pick back up now. Keep up the good work on these reviews, will come back and check you out again soon. Thanks George
George Snyder’s last blog post..Well, this is the new look
Thanks George!
Things have certainly picked up since then.
Do come over often!
Hey there – I congratulate you heartily on your first sale – I am still trying here, but I WILL succeed – everyone else seems to know how to do this stuff, but I will not give up………………………There is no doubt about it – PPC is still biog business. I have a friend that spends £35,000 every month on it, but he MAKES a fortune!!!
