The Race to $1Million
May 2nd, 2006Online friend of mine, Mike Lopez, are in a race. A race where only the two of us are in the contest where we are against each other. We have both been playing around with SEO and I can say I have been doing SEO for more than year, but there is still so much to learn. We are both beginners in the affiliate marketing/ad publishing arena of the Internet and everyday is like continuous learning try new tricks everyday.
Right now we are in a race to the first to earn a total of $1 Million US Dollars! Hahahaha, a large amount, and only through 1 type of revenue stream. We are both like earning only less than $30/month, through this new revenue stream, but seem both optimistic on winning the race. Maybe because we both think that it is possible… and we both want to prove it is.
Right now he is way ahead of me creating viral capaigns, while I am leading in the higher paying market. Mike recently attacked a higher paying market too put it still takes some time to propagate and seen everywhere, while I got time to build my viral strategies.
Problem is, I got to finish a client site real quick first, then go to back to the viral site I am working on. But that gives another day for Mike to gain more lead. Hopefully the bots don’t crawl on him yet and give me more time to catch up later. LOLz!
[...] Benj and I are on a race. A tough race. A race that is slow for now but will definitely gain speed as it continues. We are on a $1 Million Race. This race only allows one income stream and that just makes it tougher. For now, we have earned techniques from our experiences and we also share resources such as tips that we’ve discovered from the pros. Benj is more experienced when it comes to search engine optimization but I am currently leading in viral marketing / promotion of my sites.

[...] For sure my race to millions with Benj is a loss. A couple of weeks back, Google’s Adsense team terminated my account due to invalid clicks BUT I’m 100% sure that I did not click any of my ads nor did anyone here at home. I think what made Google think this way was the sudden increase in clickthroughs on one of my sites which got a good amount of traffic from MSN for one day. The next day, MSN picked up the changes I made in my site and the site went down and so I had no more traffic after that. Maybe, just maybe, Google thought that the sudden rise in clicks was spam and so terminated my account. I tried emailing them but to no avail so I guess it’s no more. I was so frustrated that I closed all my adsense sites and stopped blogging until about a few days ago.

Hey Benj! Good Luck! This is actually an exciting challenge. Can I join in the race? hahaha. Just kidding.
