I went on a domain buying spree this last weekend and picked up some new toys for me to play with. I grabbed thecarchief.com to start an auto blog on, powderout.com to write a snowboarding blog on (I’m thinking of building this one from the ground up, and turning it into a resource where you can get snow reports, look at liftcams, and find and post deals on lift passes, gear, etc.). I also picked up genealogyanswer.com to turn into a genealogy hub that I’ll use to do some affiliate marketing. Finally, I bought executiveballs.com (you know, like the little executive toys that knock back and forth.) to write about the business world and some of the decisionmaking that I see, both good and bad. I think I’m also going to use executiveballs.com to learn how to use CSS (with a WordPress backend.). So pretty much these sites will be my playground/learning ground for the next little while. So feel free to check them out from time to time to see how well I’m doing. Ultimately, though, my goal is to become proficient at SEO. I want to see these sites ranking well in the search engine results pages (SERPS), and I think that each of these sites carries with it a varying degree of difficulty, so there will definitely be progression in how they begin to show up in Google (and the other engines as well.) I’ll provide solid links once I have something for the engines to see. I’ll let you know when I’m to that point.
