So after doing a lot of PPC since last November I finally had a good profitable month after sticking to Facebook as my traffic source and dating as my vertical. I want to switch to health soon as this is my true long term goal with PPC so I can use my own products or build my own brand. Anyway, net income image…..
So at the end of the month of February 2012 I was starting to spend $200-250/day since I was doing $100-200 profit. We`ll see how things scale up in March. Now that this is a bit more under control I’ll go back to doing some SEO on my niche sites and see what happens. I kinda lost interest for a while as there is no doubt PPC scales much faster than SEO. Within 4 months I made 1k profit… It took me 8 months or so to reach that with SEO back in the days. At the same time, I like how SEO sites do not cost that much money to maintain once you have your rankings (and when Google does not make some new algorith change that invalidates a lot of what you’ve been doing for many years :P).
So ya a quick update post, I’ll try to do some more this month and get this blog back up running.
Hi Alex, an off topic question for you, how are you going with your Forex trading? After trading for a while do you think there is room for a small trader to make money fairly easily?
I have been practicing with a demo account and ive come up with a decent strategy with rules that i have backtested a bit, and im going to open a $200 real account soon so i can test things out more.

I actually paused forex for a while as day trading while it can work takes a lot of stress/time that I cannot put elsewhere. I have been working on a new strategy that has been profitable so far and only requires 10-30 minutes a week in front of my forex screen 🙂
Can you recommend resources to get started with Facebook ads?
I want to get my feet wet.
What/why got you starteD?
Traffic blackbook is really good to get all the basics down properly. After that’s really dependant on what vertical you are running traffic in and mostly taking action and putting time & money.
Hey Alex, great stuff! I’d love a PPC guide on here!
Why you are not updating this blog ! i’m looking forward your new articles, cause these articles really helped me in this way if marketing !
Since this last post I have been mostly doing paid traffic, a full year on facebook and now new traffic sources and I just am not sure what I could share that would be useful to people. I personally stopped SEO since I had a lot more success with PPC and I do not have to pray that the next Google algorithm change will not affect me :), I did really enjoy working on this blog though so I might come back to it in time ..
