Day 30: More Article Distribution – The Keyword Academy Scam Experiment
(Monday July, 20th)
Due to a combination of being very busy for 2 days and very lazy for the next day, I haven’t worked on my sites in 3 days. I was feeling really guilty about this today so I got back to work. If you’ll recall, I needed to write 2 more articles for article distribution for promoting my first site. I wrote and submitted both of those today. That gives me 5 links from articles and 3 links from link exchanges. That means I have fulfilled the first month’s site promotion minimums for that site and it only took me 15 days (including the last 3 that I did nothing)!
In the Keyword Academy videos they said you are supposed to write between 5 and 10 articles per site for distribution in the first month, but that there are diminishing returns, especially above 10. If I only had the one site to work on, I might go ahead and write 10 articles instead of just the bare minimum 5. But since I have 19 other domains that need to be worked on, I think my time will be better spent working on those.
I still haven’t heard back from The Keyword Academy support team about my accidentally canceled subscription (if you missed the whole PayPal fiasco, you can read about it in day 26). But, I wrote the email late Thursday night, so they’ve really only had 2 business days to respond. When I first joined the Keyword Academy I sent an email to them through the support portal and got a same day response, but that was when my account was still active, so I’m sure that they give members priority over non-members. I’ll give them a couple more days to respond before I write again.
More good news on the Adsense front: I got a few more clicks that have brought my revenue up to $11.41! I love seeing those clicks!
One more thing: today is day 30th of The Keyword Academy Scam Experiment! (please, hold your applause) I feel that I have accomplished quite a bit this month. To commemorate this historic event 
I’ll be writing a “first month overview” post soon. I know you’ll all be waiting with bated breath to read it.
See you next post!
