Wendy, I’ve been trying to track what I did so differently with site number 2.

I believe there were a host of things I did differently and will try to write about it in depth in a later post.

The fact that site #2 was focused on one topic instead of 13 sub topics was a big help. Additionally, I used a WordPress template instead of coding it by hand this time.

SEO did help, but I’m no SEO expert. Well, I guess any SEO is better than none (you need a magnifying glass to find any SEO on site #1).

Personally, I think the big kicker was that I wasn’t in a rush this time. I took it slow, wrote a little, forgot about the site and then wrote a little more. Now that it seems to be earning consistently, I think I’ll put a bit more effort into it.

I’m still analyzing what I did to see if I can wash, rinse and repeat it.

Hey Felicia!

This is so interesting! Okay, so can I surmise what you did with site #2 is make sure that every page was SEO friendly…is that too private? What *did* you do, exactly, to make it that much smarter?

I’m a stat-junkie, too. it’s nice to know what works, so we’re not wasting time, isn’t it:)

Wow,
Those are impressive stats. I am shocked by the difference in page views. To think that that the second site probably took less time as well and is earning that much.
