It all comes at once – well it does if you leave the important but not urgent off your daily list. Well, that is how it is for me, time to step up to the plate and get on with it. The module here is all to do with finding keyword optimised content … so here we go … with less scripting than I would like.

Module 2 Day 1: The Importance of Being Domain
Todays module is about getting registered, getting hosted and using WordPressDirect. As I am catching up with The Challenge 2010 this week this will be brief with no other blog links – I’ll catch up later if I can.
Module 1 Day 7: Commercial Indicators Within Microniches #tc10
If you are creating a site that you wish to make money with then you must make sure there are related products to sell right? You are pretty much guaranteed that a well known product is going to have some commercial value but what if it is a niche hobby or interest. The Challenge videos cover how to ensure that there is some commercial viability to go forward with.
Module 1 Day 6: SEO Matrix Analysis
Welcome to the SEO matrix, now you can choose which competition you wish to fight. Are you going to go for the green line or the red line?
How deep does the competition hole go?
How quickly can you find Microniches?
This is a game I thought might be interesting to kick off. I have put up a video showing how I found 5 Challenge compliant microniches within 8 minutes 42 seconds using Market Samurai. Now I know it can be beaten but I would love to see how anyone can do it. Can you?
Module 1 Day 5: Understanding SEO Competition and Finding Little Kids to Beat Up
Well behind on updating this so I am really grateful that The Challenge 2010 is running at a slower pace with breaks in between. The effort of understanding the nature of competition on the Internet, to me, has got to be the most important and effective time spent in this whole process, so I have spent a while here and getting used to pulling and studying niches in Market Samurai.
Module 1 Day 4: Finding Keywords and Structure #tc10
This tortoise has just finished on Day 4 of The Challenge 2010.
I am so glad of the seven day break even though I thought how much it would slow me down – funny now I think about it. The good thing with having this break is that you have the time to go deeper if you wish, or if you find ‘life takes over’ then you can at least catch up.
Mine was simply getting caught up in ideas …
Module 1 Day 3: Exactly Phrased Broads go Fishing for Trout #tc10
Simple stuff – Knew it all before – The Challenge 2010 covers Traffic and Competition especially detailing the differences between exact, phrase and broad matches in Google. Then of course I thought about it and realised I didn’t understand it as well as I thought.
Module 1 Day 2: Niche Ideas! #tc10
A delay here, currently the course is jumping onto Day 6, but that is the beauty of having this new 30 minute format, there is time to catch up. The Challenge 2010 lesson for Module 1 Day 2 is all about finding Niche ideas, apparently you go downwind of them and creep up quietly, then when the Niche least expects it jump on them and put salt on their tails. No not really, it is much easier than that – you don’t need salt.
The Opportunity of Being in a Team on The Challenge #tc10
If you are not in a team then honestly I think you should find one quickly. Even if you have had negative preconceptions from team work in a corporation, you will find this different. At first I thought a team would be a hindrance … but it really isn’t, it makes the experience more real.
