Temalar.org is a Turkish Wordpress theme site. I translate theme files and publish them on this site. It has ranking of PR2. I added backlinks.com ad block. My target is getting more visitors with weekly updates.

I need flexible and professional theme for travelitaly24.com . I found wp-remix which has many alternative page designs,  I paid $75. So those days I’m focusin on site adaptations.

Good news; site earnings are close to $40 details will be posted soon. Site monetize process starts working.

As I mentioned before started daily site update for Travel Italy. It works for me, It attracks attention of Google and Yahoo bots. Also I get visits from local level search bots like baidu. I see increase on site visitors. I think this is related with updates. We will see it. If I’m doing right things, I’ll reach my target earnings.

I want to buy a home from Bodrum area. I’m planning to live there after the university finished. I’ve 2 years to finish and I’ve no money . My project starts with this problem. How can I find this worth of money? May I collect it while working? May I win the lottery? I don’t think so. But you can help me to get it. You can donate money or you can buy ad spaces from my project sites (information about donations and advertising spaces will be available here soon).

On this category, you will find the process of money collection and some information about Bodrum.

Also you can follow the web development category to see what I did to earn money from web.

Today I finished adding images to posts listed in Italy destination/B and C. Before this project I see that google images brings traffic to sites. So I add image title and description on all images.

Final thing is hotel listings. Travel italy didn’t updated since 21 May. To get more traffic I need daily updates. So I will add one hotel daily during image additions.

I bought www.travelitaly24.com domain 3 years ago from a webmaster forum. It’s dmoz listed. This year I decided to monetize and redevelop.

Firstly I adapt theme to navigate easily. Menus are listed using ajax and some sub categories are listed using custom wp tags. For backend I use wordpress and its plugins.

Plugins used and their purpose:

• Author Advertising: I used it to manage adsense ads. Adsense codes are located on top and the bottom of all pages in single post style. Author advertising has a feature to share ad impressions with writers ( future phase)
• Clean Options: To reduce db size
• Dagon Design Sitemap Generator: To be listed fastly in search engines
• Enhanced WP-ContactForm : To get link exchange and ad requests
• Google XML Sitemaps : Of course for google
• iWPhone: For mobile accesses. But not finished theme customization.
• Link Exchange Manager: Main aim is getting back links. I adepted to site design
• MaxBlogPress Ping Optimizer: Hey, I’m not a blog spammer
• Psychic Search: Track user searches. Not used now because of low traffic
• Register Plus: Advenced user registration system
• Sociable: For social bookmarks and possible traffic gain. Print and email icons added
• WP-Affiliate: To hide sponsor and hotel links.
• WP-DBManager: Database optimization and backup
• wpSEO: SEO tool
• WP Super Cache: I will use it when the content become stable

What I did? :

• wp-login.php integrated with current theme
• Comments closed
• General content about Italy finished
• accordion ajax menu added to sidebar
• Started to add category images on posts.
• Started selling text link ads.

In future:

• I’ll create custom category pages with full images. Destination categories will have current weather, map and image search link
• Hotels will be added
• RevShare system will be activated for guest writers
• Will start link trades
• Directory submissions ( first target is pr4)

In future posts, I will tell you the steps of development of my sites. What I did, how I monetize them, how I make money with them? etc…
