I said in the beginning of September that it did begin a new era. I had all the intentions in the world to make Dorm Earning grow and ladies and gentlemen, it really is beginning to grow. I have getting a semi-unique theme (it’s only be downloaded once and it costs money to get it), so I am really getting rather anxious to have access to it. I am getting it for free, but that’s another story for another time. The point is, Dorm Earning is pushing ahead and there are some really good things planned for it.

Over at ProBlogger, Darren mentioned that he is looking for people to donate prizes for his blogs 3rd year birthday. Now, I thought about it for a moment or two and I have really been thinking about maybe offering him $50.00 or maybe even $100.00 as a prize. People love cash, so the money would definitely get accepted I am sure. And, with that, a link to Dorm Earning would be guaranteed. Now, on top of that, as people start to blog about the prizes, I may get more links and that is important to me. That’ll drive even more traffic. But, I want your opinions: Do you think that this is a good move for me or should I save the money for something else?

I have begun to dabble in free article services for article submissions to push traffic to Dorm Earning. I did one today on a rather nice blog (you’ll see if it you go visit JonWaraas.com) and I am excited about the potential traffic. I’ll be doing more for Jon as well as doing them for other FAS (Free Article Services). They are not that great, but if they can guarantee me some link love, I can’t deny the potential for some nice growth.

My Alexa is what I am really pleased about. The Alexa on Dorm Earning continues to drop lower and lower and that is really great. I give that, in part, to the fact that the number of posts I make has increased and I am beginning to comment more on other blogs. And, since I am giving link love to people more freely, they are beginning to reciprocate. I sent out a couple of e-mails to people about one of my articles about blogging being like football and I am looking forward to some responses and maybe some links. Hopefully, huh?

So, as you can see, Dorm Earning is beginning to get some push towards it. It is ranking decently for the keyword Make Money Online on Google (Page 4) and I am hoping to maybe get that to page 3 or even 2 if all goes according to plan, by the end of the month. Even if I don’t, the site is really beginning to grow and I may actually start to see an increase in earnings by the end of the month. Maybe I am on the right track to become a successful blogger. Who knows, huh?

It takes a lot out of me to write these blog posts. Buy me a beer to cool me off!
