About the future of the Thirty Day Challenge:

The site will remain open, and will set up monthly challenge teams - people will be able to do the Thirty Day Challenge year round!

Stages of the Thirty Day Challenge:

1. Find a niche market with a low competition, high traffic keyword
2. Use free web2.0 hosting platforms to publish unique, keyword optimized content, that links to a product sales page (affiliate or your own)
3. Use social networking strategies, particularly social bookmarking, to publicize the content
4. If the conversion rate is acceptable (about 1 in 200), start getting additional backlinks to your website

Some sources of backlinks:

• relevant comments on relevant blogs
• reciprocal links
• article marketing (eg EzineArticles.com)
• Press Releases
• Directories
• Yahoo Answers

Avoid:

• link farms
• irrelevant websites
• sites not indexed in Google
