I build new Site as Case Study today. It is personal Finance Niche(www.personalfinanceblog.us) and I am using vBulletin as forum software. I install several plug ins such as Stock Trader which user can do Stock Trade from Forum.

Why Personal Finance Niche? There is many affiliate programs and adsense payout is great however competition is great as well. I am following Netbusinessblog steps and kinda trying to compete with his case study.

I will follow exactly how he did and some.

Step One is done, setup site up and running.

Step two is build some backlinks via using web directory submission service, article writing.
Step three will be post some contents in forums and from there, I will try to increase traffics via Contest, Stock Trade games, etc.
