Project: Rank a free blog on page 1 for ‘car insurance’

Some of you may have followed along with my first project: The $100/day AdSense Challenge that I started back in December 2010. Although I haven’t yet reached my ultimate goals for that project it has been worth the effort as the site is now something I’m happy to have in my portfolio.

With summer winding down I think it’s time to kick off a new project/experiment/challenge whatever you want to call it and share my progress with and ask for hints and tips from my good friends here :)

My Experience
I’m currently generating about 9,000 pageviews per month and making $200-$300/month. So I’m not an expert by any means but I’m not a total noob either.

Project
As the title suggests my ultimate goal for this project is to rank this site (car insurance) on page 1 in google’s serps for its main keyword. A tall order considering it is an insanely competitive term with over 6 million broad and 800,000 exact searches per month!

Rules

#1 – There’s only one rule: Everything has to be free. No paid hosting, no paid tools, no paid ads, no paid outsourcing.

Traffic
The main targeted traffic source is organic google search.

Monetization
I’m starting things off with a CPA insurance offer from AdCommunal, but I’m open to change if you have a better suggestion.
