Yesterday I started working on my new site.  I have started working on a layout, and structure of the site.  However the first thing that I did was register a new domain, and then get drupal installed.  I haven’t used Drupal for a large scale site yet so I figured that this was as good of a time as any.  The set up was VERY easy since I have fantastico installed via Cpanel, so it was literally 1 click.  I love it.

Anyway, I have also decided on the modules that I am going to add, and next is the topics that I am going to target first.

My plan is to start the targetting with a blog entry.  The blog entries are going to be on the front page until I have more content and more activity on the site.  After the blog entry I am going to write a story on what ever is happening with that topic, maybe one or two a week.  After about a month I am going to publish an in-depth story on it.  This will be filled with the key-words that I am going to target, and will lead into the next target.

As for SEO I will be doing little for the blog, well I will be doing some for the front page, but I am going to be doingt a lot for the in-depth articles.  This will include buying links, getting some people to write articles on their own blogs, etc. 

Then after the blitz is done, I will spend a week to monitor traffic and revenues.  If that topic seemed to bring in the visitors I will then continue with that one, maybe just take it in a different direction.  Spreading the work out like this will give me time to analyze what I am doing in a manner that I never let myself before and will help me learn how to do it for the next site.

This will be the only site that I build this year, so I better make it good.  If I feel that I have made it grow enough I will move on to another site or two next year.
