This Domain Will Attract Two Types Of Traffic

So I have the SEO optimisation on this site cranked right up, doing everything right and ranking very high on the search engines for some pretty obscure term.

And I have a big plan with this site, and others that i run to start using my online skills (its the magick of the modern times) to start generating some passive income, just from recording my online nomadic travellings. I have a few goals that a little bit of extra income would help, and a income stream of a few dollars trickling in every day would come in handy.

SO

The Adsense ads on the site serve two purposes. The first is that they give the page another random element, one more thing that I can feedback into image and text searches in order to generate new content for the site. The second is to get a few cents if something pops up there that is of interest. However people don’t really click these all that often.

THEREFORE

At the bottom of some posts, not for the eyes of you people who are here for the stuff about conciousness and reality and philosophy and magick, but just for the casual clicker that gets here from a google search, there will be some posts that have a section at the bottom called “BUY IT TODAY” which will have a link to an affiliate product or something like that.

If it doesn’t concern you, just ignore it, but It is my plan by throwing out hundreds if not thousands of these SEO rich articles inbetween this content, it will actually perform quite well over time by not competing directly against niche targeted sites, but attracting traffic that these sites would normally miss.

It is my hypothesis that it is content that is different from the norm that is out there, that has a high noise ratio combined with SEO targeting that will actually do quite well, and that it is volume that wins out over directed sales copy in the end.

Science Fiction Future Direction

I was thinking today about science fiction, and how it has always been the fiction of ideas. These science fiction novelists have always been pumping out new ideas, and trying to place them in the context of a narrative in order to make them more easily digestable by the public.

Becuase the pay for a novelist over the past 50 years has been, on the average, pretty poor, with only those that make the best seller lists making anything like a decent income, most of these science fiction novelists toiled day and night for very little income or even critical reward.

For instance Phillip K Dick used to pump out novel after novel to try to keep the wolves at the door, and these earned him just enough to get by when he was alive. After his death, the ideas and plot lines in these stories have earned holywood Billions of dollars. The list of films based on Dicks work is staggering.

Now, imagine the time Now, if you can. These days, writers can sit down day and night and pump out ideas, but these days they can do them in bogs. All of these Novel ideas are then indexed, and if they are searched for by people then they have a chance of generating income via PPC advertising etc.

Having new, novel ideas would allow you to build a massive long tail, well ahead of the curce that should pay of as people start to search for the new terms that these articles contain.

Say you coin the terms InfoAchons, and write a blog post about some Archytype based digital entities that start to gain an autonomous hold of the internet. It could be written in any form, even as a pseudo factual peice. As long as the keyword density was right, it would be spidered by the search engines, and found by people interested by the concept. Words locked in paper may be dead words.
