Yep, I'm pretty sure I've gotten a hold of the basics, so on to getting this domain to rank.
Day 6
What I have done:
-Put up 12 more links to the money domain.
SERP Status
Still number 8 for the main keyword. I'm anywhere from the 3rd to the 5th page for the longer tail keywords. I expect that to change when my links start getting indexed.
It hasn't even been indexed in Bing or Yahoo yet.
Next up:
Keep on sending a few links a day to the money domain. I'll probably try and throw some of Eli's stuff at it this weekend. I might wait another week; I'm not sure if Google would catch on to a burst of links.
Money:
Still down $24.57.

Day 7
What I have done:
-Put up 8 more links to the money domain.
-Messed around with Eli's lots-of-links-through-RSS trick. We'll see how that pans out, I only made and submitted 1 fake RSS page. I got paranoid and hosted it on a separate domain/server. I'm not expecting, nor do I want, 100's of links per hour. Haha.
SERP Status
Same as last time. I'm pretty sure none of my other pages have been indexed yet. The main domain still hasn't been indexed in Bing or Yahoo.
Next up:
Same as usual, going to keep on throwing links at it and hope they get indexed soon.

Hey im def a newbie, but i did read read it through. I have a friend who has a cpa network and he does pretty well. Im looking where to start an affordable way to make money through his network. hopefully i figure it out as i read, this was the 1st post i read.
I'm pretty sure I am boring all 3 of you that are reading this thread. I guess I'm sorry.
Day 8
What I have done:
-Surprise, I put up a few more links. This is getting exciting. Wait, no it's not.
SERP Status
Yahoo says that one of my backlinks have been indexed. The main domain still isn't indexed in Bing or Yahoo. I did move from the 3rd page to the 2nd page for the singular version of my main keyword, so I'm assuming that Google's had better luck indexing my links.

Questions:
Are there any tricks to getting pages indexed somewhat faster? All I've been doing is pinging the page and hoping it works. It seems like this is what's killing me.

Day 10
What I have done:
-More links.
-Tossed in some Mixx/Propeller submits. I'm going to start doing this daily as well. It will be the new usual.
SERP Status
Good news, my page finally passed up the Digg entry for the singular version of my main keyword. Ok, I guess that wasn't too exciting (but being below the digg entry was kind of disappointing). It's worked its way up from the 3rd page to the 2nd for one of the keywords I'm going for, so that's not a bad deal.

Day 11
What I have done:
-Put up some more links.
-Bookmarked each pair of links (I've been doing 2 links to each blog). I'll be doing this everyday now, hopefully it will make the links worth more and get them indexed quicker.
SERP Status
Google bumped the money page up to the 7th spot (it was 8th yesterday) and it is now on the first page for 2 of my secondary key words. Good stuff. Bing finally got around to indexing the page. It's actually ranked 8 for my main keyword and 2 secondary keywords. Yahoo still has no idea that it exists, apparently, even though it recognizes 4 links to the page.
Next up:
Same as usual. Tomorrow I'll probably spend some time bookmarking the money page itself.
Money:
Still down $24.57, go figure.

This is probably one of the least exciting progress threads ever, haha. I guess I'm not losing enough money to make this interesting, am I? Anyway...
Day 12
What I have done:
-More links.
-More bookmarking of links.
SERP Status
Still ranked 7th in Google. And 8th. They ranked one of my Tag pages. Ranking 8th for my singular keyword (I was 10th last night). 8th for another keyword. I was 10th last night for that one, too. Looks like I'm slowly getting there. Yahoo still only recognizes 4 backlinks, I have no idea how many Google has found.

Day 13

SERP Status
Still ranked 7th and 8th in Google. Pretty much all that's changed is getting indexed in Yahoo. I'm ranked 2nd for my main and another keyword, go figure. The singular version of my main keyword isn't on the first page, but I'm not complaining. Yahoo shows 6 backlinks. Everything else is basically the same.

Is this officially the most boring progress thread yet? If not, I think it's getting there, haha.
Day 14
What I have done:
-More links.
-More bookmarking of links.
SERP Status
As far as I can tell, nothing has changed.
Questions and Stuff:
I've noticed that my Yahoo backlinks only show my Shoutpost entries. No other sites show up except for a Digg link. Is this normal?

what on this site will be making you money?
and are you sure this site is good looking?
you should really post a link (tinyurl it) so that we can see whats up (nobody is gonna crack down on your niche here.)

I'm not monetizing the site at all, it's just some crappy content and a bunch of pictures. I plan on getting the domain to rank well and then sell it to a business. The site looks decent, though. It's just some photoblog theme that I found. I figured it would be easier to find a bunch of stock photos to throw on it rather than write up pages of content.
