November Option Trades 2006

I’m baaccckkk!!! My doubled capital is back, thanks to SCSS which gapped down and gave me a 191% return on the trade alone! 6 trades and only 2 lost this time.

I’m kicking myself for selling ASH on the same day at 10% profit, what’s worse was that it wasn’t an exit signal according to the rules. If I had held on, it’d have given me an almost 100% return like TXT did. Check out the charts of ASH and note the candles from 1st till 14th November 2006. Sigh.

Balance after exit trades made in November: $4,913.52 (+41.84%). Click “read more” to see my trades.

Sitemaps

I added my sites to google and yahoo sitemap today, hopefully that’ll increase my traffic. Some people says submitting their sitemaps causes them to have poorer rankings, others say otherwise. I’m keeping my fingers crossed.

Account Suspended… Eh?

Today when I wanted to check my site statistics, my browser showed me this page:

suspended

Eh?

After contacting my host, they told me it’s because I have used more than 5% of their CPU resources. Ouch, I immediately know what caused it. It’s my experimental blog… “Headlines of the Rich” (Read Post).

PPC Abuse Awareness Video

There has been a recent explosion in abuse of AdWords, Google’s PPC (pay per click) advertising platform. It is apparent that the techniques do not follow Google’s own clear guidelines. Unfortunately, users and legitimate advertisers pay the price, while Google and the unscrupulous advertisers profit.

PPC Campaign ended

My funds ($100 + $5 free) on my PPC campaign finally finished and I only ended up with 3 sales (commission $125) which gave me a $25 profit. I think that’s a very good start because I’m not making a loss. I’m going to try another campaign but this time targetting only US and Canada instead of worldwide traffic.

So here are the final results:

Online Business Pharmaceutical Site – PPC First Sale

I’ve forgotten how many days have past since I started that pharmaceutical site. Anyway, I set up an account at GoClick yesterday and had an advertisement up and running for my pharmacy site. I took the opportunity to offer a “weekend special” discount to the visitors who came through the ad and changed my website template to include an announcement about that offer (e.g. “Save $20 on your purchases! Type in coupon code: XXXXX after checkout”).

Affiliate Revenue September 2006

Sorry for the late report, I totally forgot about this section hehe. Going to try Pay-Per-Click around November, I met someone on the RX forums who’s doing PPC on his pharmacy site, he uses the smaller pay per click advertising companies like GoClick or Search7. I never tried those because I don’t think the traffic will be as good as Google Adwords or Yahoo! Search Marketing, but small PPC companies are the only way to advertise pharmacy sites if you don’t have a pharmacy ID (Yahoo and Google requires you to have a pharmacy ID if you bid on drug keywords like “Accutane” or “Cialis”, etc). Time to try something new! :)

September Option Trades 2006

Made only one trade this month (CYT November $55 Puts). I didn’t want to be holding any trades while I’m on vacation in Bangkok, I haven’t had a good, long vacation for quite a while so it’s nice to breakaway from the computer. The one and only trade made a loss and it also came with my famous mistake (bought naked put by accidentally selling it twice… ARGH). Luckily, I sold CYT’s naked puts at breakeven.
