Blogging on a Free Webhost

Mar 22, 2009 Make Money Online, Search Engine Optimization

I’ve started a WordPress blog a few weeks ago on a free domain server and free web host provider to try out and see if I can achieve a certain level of SEO success from my Daddy Mike blog. So far, I’ve posted three entries already and everything is going well. I’ve started to optimize one post for the steve vai guitar keyword, and I’ll see if I can get on top of Google for that keyword.

I also posted a how-to for those who also want to set-up a self-hosted WordPress blog without spending a dime!

Here are some of my observations on the free WP blog I’ve created:

no 404 not found errors so far
the shared MySQL server timed-out a few times already
reasonable connection times so far; no unfinished loading on pages
few visitors already found the blog
not yet tested on sudden surges of traffic
support is hard to find, usually in community forums and other blogs

I’m not expecting my new blog to be capable of accomodating thousands of visitors everyday, since even dedicated web servers suffer overload on high traffic sites, but if I earn a reasonable amount from that blog, I’ll have it hosted on a paid server so I can have an assurance of reliable service.

I’ll be posting updates about the growth of my Daddy Mike blog. I’m hopeful I can achieve the least of my goals on it.
