Here’s Episode Number One!

I’ve officially launched my own podcast to chronicle my experiment and provide another channel for me to teach everyone who subscribes here at Social Dominator.

You’ll be able to listen in and here my audio PodCast using the controls below. Soon you’ll  be able to subscribe through iTunes and automatically listen in anytime you want through your iPod.  Be sure to keep listening because its through a future PodCast Ill even teach you exactly how to set up a PodCast of your own.

*** (added 6/9)I’ve had some questions come up about the podcast and my claim that the site has rocketed to an 160,000 (roughly) Alexa rating. To see this statistic you need to look at the traffic details page:

http://www.alexa.com/data/details/traffic_details/socialdominator.com

Look at the 1-week statistic.  The overall Alexa rating you see on the main page is a rolling average over the previous 90 days.  90 days ago the site didn’t even exist and then when it started out it was at something crazy like a 10,000,000 rating.  So to see what a site is actually doing at this very moment you need to look at the weekly or daily stat.

Very soon you’ll see a great PodCast appearing here in this category of the SocialSominator.com traffic experiment.

I’ll also be setting up an iTunes version so you can download it right from iTunes and listen to each episode right on your iPod.

Each episode will cover the progres of my experiment as well as teach you some of the steps I used to pull it all off. I’ll even teach you how to create a Podcast of your own… just like this one!

Each episode will feature a music intro courtesy of: Accelerated Ideas
