Well, it’s been a fun two months and I thought I would give an update to how things are going. Aimee and I just passed the 150 post mark and we are still going! Although not much yet, here is what we have done to promote the fox so far.
- MyBlogLog. You may have seen the fox running around on some of your sites.
- We try to regularly comment on the few blogs we read daily
- We have done 4 reviews for link backs
- Participated in one link train, and one viral link campaign
Thats it really. No SEO, no buying/begging for links. No submitting every story to digg/reddit/netscape. Very little promotion at all. We really have been concentrating on learning and developing our writing style. Anyway, some fun numbers for you all to chew!
Google PR = 0! (we expect this to go up during the next update)
Technorati Rank = 48,065!
Alexa = 415,232
Traffic = June has a %300 increase over May already!
We are also in all the search engines in one way or another. So I guess the ‘build it and they will come’ holds true, at least a little bit.
But these numbers are not good enough. July shall be promotion month for us! We shall seek out any and all ways to promote the fox and drive traffic here. We shall continue to grow! We shall be relentless! This is Sparta!!
Anyway, I have a favour to ask. Give me ideas. Sure I can find ways to do it myself. Or possibly create my own but I’m sure some of you already have some knowledge on the subject. I am willing to try anything as long as it does not cause someone else to lose anything. Be it money, bandwidth or anything else. I will try any crazy idea, report what happened and give you the credit (and I won’t blame you if it blows).
Just use the contact form to get in touch with me.

I use this blog as an example to financial planners on how they could start a blog. I think more posts about how to get out of debt. Maybe a series where you help someone else?
