Hi Boricua, to be honest I’m not marketing it at all. At least not intentially

I’m glad you like case studies because I’m a fan of them too. Be sure to subscribe to my feed as I’ll be posting an update shortly.

Hey Mikael,

Just found your site from search engines. So I don’t know if you’re marketing this site hard but is surely on top for “july case study 2008″

Either way, keep it consistent with your pet site, it’s surely better to get more traffic than internet marketing related sites. Less clutter, more money. Good work mate, keep us updated…I am a fan of case studies. Lol…

@ Søren, this plugin has a lot of cool features like i.e. using 5 different translator engines with a failover solution (Google Translator has a bad habit of only working sometimes). When I have some stats on how it is going to work for me I’ll do a review of it and explain all the benefits.

@ Anders, oh… there you have it. Always little improvements to be made. Thanks for letting me know.

Mikael, nice improvements!

Your xml sitemap looks a bit strange. You are only giving a 20% priority to those pages like VIP pet insurance that you want to rank for.

No idea how important that is, but it might be for a smaller site like yours without a significant inbound link profile?

Nice update!

But why purchase a plugin for translation? Can’t you just use Google Translate (which can even be automated), or is the quality of the translations better with the plugin?

Thanks Denni. Yes I do think that the site is performing nicely but it can always do better. When it comes to CTR it is all about how much “in their face” you want to be with your ads. I completely agree with anyone that thinks those Adsense ads are too much and that it looks like crap. It does… but the only thing I can say is that it obviously works. So until I come up with a better and more profitable idea I’ll leave it the way it is.

You perform very well on that pet site, Mikael. My current project travian-help.com is getting around 100 visits per day but I get a clickrate around 0,7-1%. So I have to play around with the placement some time.

But yesterday I got really upset on Adsense, I got 3 clicks paying 0.01$. But back on the horse again.

I also made a opt-in on my site, where I got 5 confirmed opt-ins during the last 7 days. So that’s like 0,7% which isn’t really good. I’m nothing offering any kind of reports, free stuff – so maybe I could get more to opt-in if I did a offer like that. I did a script that makes a javascript popup under on the page, that displays the opt-in form and when they click close it isn’t shown again to again.
