my 2006
ByIt was first year that I start my new business. I bought several sites, domains that I thought it has good potentials(thanks to digitalpoint.com and members). I had some success and some loss.  One major thing I learned is it takes time in this industry unless you have tons of money to burn in PPC(pay per click) campaign and other.  I started several forums but seems like it is not going anywhere. I am still testing with Adsense & YPN. YPN still pays better than Adsense but Adsense ads targeting is much better than YPN. I integrated Chitika into several my web sites which gets almost no clicks. I tried to get into affiliate industry, but I haven’t find gold mine yet. I am trying to diversify my incomes from web sites. It is very important to have backup plan.
My Plan in 2007, I want to test more on affiliate & testing water on subscription model if it is possible. Also build more quality backlinks(inbound links). And increase my revenue at least 50%. Also, participating on one or more conferences.

Hi,
I can see that you are jumping from one business model from another. Actually it is not so good for you if you do so. I would suggest you choose a business model that you find that you are most interested in and work on it. Yes indeed starting an internet business is not easy and need effort, so you need to focus your effort on 1 area before you spread out.
If you think that builing adsense site is your interest, then keep on building good content site and this will attract more people to you site. Remember treat it like a business or else you will never be focus.
