GoDaddy Reseller Update

Update as of 9/15/10: GoDaddy, since finishing their grid beta, is a terrible place to host your site. If you want to sell garbage to strangers, you might consider this program, but I can’t in good conscience continue testing the reseller program.

People have requested that I update my success, or lack thereof, regarding the GoDaddy Reseller trial.  This is just to let you know that, like everything else on this site, attempting to market the reseller site (which because of the contract with GoDaddy I can’t link to from here), got pushed to the side temporarily.

All I can say for certain at this point is that if you do nothing, you get nothing, but everyone probably already knew that to begin with.

I’ve made it past the job that was all-consuming, so I should start some marketing here soon. 

What I’ve done so far:  So far I have only used Google Adsense, MSN ads and facebook ads to market the site.  This has been entirely unsuccessful to this point.  I’ve paid for some clicks and gotten no buyers.

One of the issues with running these sorts of ads is that people are willing to pay big bucks to get their ads to the top of these search engine pages, and I haven’t been willing to do that up to this point.

What I intend to do is to market the hosting through article directories and by putting banners up on other sites that I own.  If everything goes well, I should start to get that worked on by the end of the month.

I am not, I should probably mention, in any way discouraged.  I simply haven’t put the work into it that it needs yet.  Now if I start really marketing the site and it still isn’t working, then we may have a problem.

I’ll keep you updated…
