This week I started to get into course 3: Making Money. I was very excited about putting affiliate links into my content and using ads. One thing that I didn't expect was the natural delay in the process. I am an affiliate now through share a sale, cj.com and amazon. Amazon has been the easiest for me to use by far. I have applied to a couple of programs through cj, but got rejected by both. I think that it may be because my site is so new.

Yesterday, I wrote my first review. Right now, I am going to write about products that I am extremely familiar with even if they do not earn as high of a commission.

I haven't gotten to the point that I actually know how to track my traffic (that is in a couple of lessons). I am extremely curious about whether my site getting any traffic and want to know how many of my pages are ranked on google.

Today I got a random comment on my site. It may have been from a robot. I consider it a sign of luck :P
