Music Publicity Blog Case Study - Entry #1
This music publicity blog here at musicpublicityblog.com has been debugged for unwanted links, and I’m up to speed on the tutorial videos. So let’s begin!
Here are the current statistics for musicpublicityblog.com:
- Google Page Rank: #40 out of 35,000 competing pages for exact match
If the average Googler sees 10 results to a page, then musicpublicityblog.com appears as the very last result on page 4. At the very least, I don’t want musicpublicityblog.com to slip to Google’s page 5.
- Number of yesterday’s visitors: 14
This tracking data is provided by Google Analytics
- Affiliate Sales: $0
(Self-explanatory 
)
Completed tasks from my Thirty Day Challenge needs analysis:
- Decided on numbered entry format for case study logs. This will allow case study entries to be sorted separately for anyone wanting to follow along. This also allows a distinction from the general music publicity blog posts.
- The WordPress Direct (WPD) theme that I originally wanted to use simply does not accommodate sale offer widgets at this time. I’ve already filed a repair ticket with WPD, but I’ve decided to stick with the current “Mint Chocolate” theme.
- My affiliate link for Ariel Hyatt’s music publicity eBook isn’t ready yet, so I’ll continue using the Amazon affiliate link for the print version of Nine Weeks to Music Success.
- The affiliate program for Market Samurai, the fabulous internet marketing tool used during the 30DC, is not ready yet, but as soon as it is, I’ll add it.
So I have my work cut out to raise the page ranking of musicpublicityblog.com. The good news is that the blog in its current form made it to a page ranking of #40 out of 35,000 sites, which is a nice start for a page that only went live on August 12, 2008 (I deleted my “Hello World” post - Sorry!).
If you’re reading this music publicity blog in real time, keep checking in because the fun starts now!
