This month was a bit rough for the blog. Finishing school, searching for work, and getting ready for graduate school took a toll on my allotted time to dedicate to this blog. As you all know, this is a hobby of mine and not a job. I blog when I can because I enjoy doing so. I hope to get back into the normal flow of things as life calms down after my college graduation last week, and as I find a steady 9-5 job which I can keep during graduate school.
My spyder mate stayed the same this month, for the most part which was good. I will continue to try and improve on this within the coming months.

Hello everyone, what a hectic month just passed. The last 3 weeks of classes up until the very end of this month I was swamped with personal and school work. As time began to crunch I needed to focus and prioritize on what was truly important in my life right now: Getting a Job and Getting into Grad School! Luckily, I got into graduate school and am very close to having an ideal “career” job.

This month was certainly not what I had planned. I really wanted to rock out this month with good qualitative information and an awesome contest. Luckily, the contest ran well with a little over 40 submissions for our first contest. Will definitely try to increase private ad sales for the site. (Advertise with us)

This month again I took a different approach to my traffic acquisition. I did 0 paid advertising, I slowed down on social networks (except entrecard) and I published no new sources of publication (ezines or press releases). I stopped commenting on many others blogs (backlinks started to drop), and was trying to see how leaving the blogosphere, in theory, would affect traffic. In effect I throttled back all and any type of advertising.
- Now you may be wondering why did I do this? and did it affect me?
1- I wanted to see how the site would hold up with 30 days of “no advertising”
2- It affected one main area – my backlinks to NYW – I had about 1,200 backlinks at the end of March. This month my backlink number is down to 700 and continues to fall. (Yes I will be advertising this month!)
I did not see much growth in traffic due to this, did I make a mistake? I don’t think so. I learned what I, personally, need to continue doing to assure Nurture Your Wealth’s success on the web and in the blogosphere.
My spyder mate is of course lower than last time. Last time I had a 45 score rating of 100, although many fields were empty. Currently my biggest concern to working towards my spyder mate for this site is building back up the backlinks + doing better on compete. I extended the domain name for another 2+ years which helped my score, and with the recent google page rank change I actually got a page 1 page rank.

This month has proven to be my best yet. My goals for next month are definitely to increase private ad sales. To do this I have made it easier to purchase ads on NYW, by installing OIO Publisher. By increasing private ad sales fellow bloggers and advertisers will get some quality exposure and an affordable price, visit advertising.
