A new blog
From now on andreasbard.com will be a place for motivational articles and focus on only that area. Because of this I have started a new blog on the domain www.andreasbard.net where I will write about my businesses and life as an entrepreneur.
You can read more about the decision here:

Please check out the Entrepreneur blog. And be sure to bookmark it and visit both these blogs from time to time.
Pagerank dropped another point
This blog is now a Pagerank 2. About two months ago this blog had a Pagerank of 4 when it suddenly dropped to 3 and now another drop.
What is up with the Pagerank system? Are the rumours true that the days of the Pagerank system is over?
I know, I know …
I am a bad boy. I been treating my blog like shit. I feel bad for it and I will get better soon with the updates. But for now you only get this new picture of me.
PayPerPost linked to me
PayPerPost showed me some love and posted a picture of me and link to this blog from their blog. All I did was to send a framed picture to them to het some other free stuff. This link is probably worth the most out of those things.

A great day for my business
Today has been a great day for me and my business. It was long time ago I was as producitve as today.
This is what I have accomplished so far:
- Uploaded over 200 video clips to mine and other video communities.
- Launched 4 new sites to the Swedish market.
- Designed a network web site for all my Swedish websites
- Done some SEO on a couple of sites in the network.
- Written 4 articles in my blog network
I will work a couple of more hours, and then I am off to bed, after this 14 hour work day.
Starting some old businesses again
This blog post is sponsored by:
The Anand
When I first started out on my journey to freedom with my first company my business was a a local hosting and web development firm, and back then I did all the design myself, which was not something I wanted to do so I stopped doing it and focused on other ventures.
But with all the knowledge and great contacts I have now I have decided to get this division of my company going again. The first step is to start the local business here i Nynäshamn with the name, Nynäshamns Webbyrå where I will server the local companies and help them start or improve their Internet presence. I will offer them hosting, content writing, SEO, design and programming.
I have also decided to try out the hosting business international, and I know it is a tough industry with a lot of competition but I am willing to try it out with. For this purpose I have invested in the domain name AmazingHosting.net. I own AmazingHosting.biz and have had that domain for a couple of years so thought it would be nice to go on with the same brand and a .net is certainly more premium than the .biz so I would probably benefit from that.
I have some job left to do. I will focus on getting Nynäshamns Webbyrå complete and then I will get Amazing Hosting redesigned and up and running.
This weeks updates and news
I have been starting to do some simple SEO optimization for this blog using the SEO professional Jim Westergrens guide, SEO for Wordpress. I have a few steps left to implement on this blog, but when I am done I am sure it will help out a lot, I am already getting quite good traffic from Google on keywords from my motivational section so that is what I have decided to optimize for.
I have also ordered a few reviews for this blog via PayPerPost.com, which has given me some permanent backlinks, I hope they will bring value and do some good for this blog both with traffic and SEO.
Regarding my earnings from this blog, so far I have not reached my goal to double the amount I earned last month, which makes me a little dissapointed but the fact is I have had to much to do, so the ad selling part has not been as active, but as I mentioned in an earlier post today I am going to work on the private ad sale part from now on, with some help from Nate Whitehills guide. We will see in a few days how my earnings this month was compared with the last one.
Changed my mind again
A couple of days ago I told you again that I would try to sell my network of arcade sites and some other sites, but I have changed my mind again. I have now decided to improve this network, and see if I can get things going.
The network will go under the name Arcaderz, and just by linking the sites in the network to eachother all sites has increase thei traffic, and by this I am recycling the traffic I get and send it around the network and hopfully they will stay and register on some of the sites. I have also already seen an increase in the Adsense account daily from some of these sites, so I think I am on the right track.
I have bought 3 new entertainment sites that I will try to make better, with some basic SEO and cleaning up the design. I will update you on how this project is coming along.
Project Updates May 2007
There has been a while since I wrote about how my projects are going. This is mostly because nothing much has happened with my current projects.
As I told you in a previous post, I am a blogger and I love to write and it would be awesome to do more of that, and I have started some other blogs but none of those are really worth mentioning yet since I have not really got them started, except from my personal blog Andreas Bard’s Adventures. My plan is to make a full time income from my blogs and I do no think that is impossible, my goal is to be able to do that within 4 months from now.
I have also mentioned that I will be trying to sell of most of my other smaller projects, but I have had no luck with that yet, but I have to try a little harder. When I do that I will be able to focus on my blogs and one big project I have started a couple of weeks ago, more about that further down. Some of the sites I am selling includes:
YourSpace Arcade - An arcade community
GYgames - An arcade community
Blandade Klipp - A Swedish video community
Get A Community - Community Building Resource with paid posting service and more.
Except from this I also have a bunch of domains for sale listed on this blog here. If you find anything you are interested in, please contact me on MSN or mail: info@andreasbard.com
The BIG project
So I can not tell you too much about this but I can mention that we are creating a service that will cover most areas for bloggers. Everything from platforms to making money. This is my biggest venture so far and I have partnered up with great people for this one. I am 100% sure it will be a hit.
The rest of it
For my arcade and video communtities the traffic is increasing quite nicely for every month that passes but the income is ver low, just a couple of dollars per week from Adsense and affiliate offers. I am sure they can do better, but I do not have the time to monetize them in a better way.
GetACommunity.com has not performed well at all during April, but so far this month it has generated 2 bigger orders. I have never really advertised this project and I do not intend to, I will let it grow and let happy customers refer new customers and hope it will bring in a couple of extra $100 per month.
I will publish some interesting articles te coming days that I hop you like, but this is all for now.
Current Promotions
The last month I have had some promotions run for this blog to improve it popularity, some of them has been successes and some of them total flops, but I believe that they will get going soon. Here is a look at how they are doing.
This one has been a great success. My ranking has dropped from over 150 000 to now under 100 000 (96027) and I have gained like 20+ backlinks from this, which of course help a lot.
This one is no success at all, with only two contestants so far. I will now extend the end date to the first of June and add a cash prize of $30 and a Sponsored Post Link worth $12 to the winner. With this you get a Review of your site ($40), cash ($30) and a Sponsored Post Link ($12), which sums up to $82.
All contestants will get a permanent backlink from this blog in the post where I present the winner, so no one is a loser in thos contest. To enter the contest go to:
