Hello! This is my very first post on this forum even though i've been reading around for some months. I've been working for a website design / SEO agency for 6 years but I felt a bit tired off it, so I decided to look into new job that lets me be a bit more free to work on my projects, and now Im working as Community Manager for a 100+ employees company, which seems to be way less stressful.
Now that I have more time to spend, I want to start working on my own projects rather than other person's project, so I decided to pick something "quick" that can start working on the background while I think on bigger projects.
I've picked up a very small niche pet related that has only up to 3.000 searches (data from Keyword Planner) spread in 13 different categories/keywords. These keywords are very straight so their conversion rate will probably be high. How ever, i've also researched for some related keywords that are not as high-conversion but that I will definately use to create fresh content (blog articles). The product average price is around 40$.
I will be starting with a brand new domain, a home page that shows quick access to directories and 13 different URLs, one for each category. I will work on every aspect of the site: SEO, content creation, backlinks.. so all I spent on this is 40$ on domain registration + 1 year hosting.
The website will not be a review + product website, instead it will look like a simple ecommerce with product list that will externally link to Amazon products. The structure for categories will be pretty much the following:
> H1 with main category keyword
> 15-20 Products (with IMG, product title on H3, price, buy button and prime tag if the product has it)
> Content to rank for the main keyword, based on 1.000 words article
About the competence:
Ecommerce 1: A non-nice ecommerce that also has some content for my niche, their website is pretty new and they are willing to rank for a lot of keywords, but their optimization is poor.
Another Amazon Affiliate site: I was able to find another amazon affiliate site that has found the same niche, but their SEO and overall optimization is very low, so that site wont be any hard to outrank. They are not even ranking for some of the better keywords, so I guess its just made by a lazy webmaster.
Amazon: Of course, Amazon is also ranking for some of the terms, we will see how it goes.
My thoughts: I think 3.000 searches/month should be enough to make some profit, since the keywords are very straight forward and they will have high conversion rate, but even if im wrong i think its worth it since the competence is very low, so it wont take me more than 7 days to complete the content. After that, I will just manually generate backlinks and write articles every 7-10 days. I think starting with a small project will be good, but i'm already looking at bigger things that I'll definately show and track on the forum.
Day 2)
I registered the domain, which contains the main keyword, and built up the website on it on a very quick load / responsive theme that is showing 80 score for mobile and 99 score for desktop on Page Speed Insights with no use of cache or optimization plugins. It looks hell fast.
I created 11 out of 13 urls and inserted 100 products on them, i've also wrote 1.000-1.300 words description for 4 of those urls, the rest of them are simply naked with products. Keyword density is going between 2% and 4%.
I've sent sitemap to Google so the urls start being indexed and hopefully ranking soon, im pretty sure 300 words would be more than enough for some of the keywords but anyway i'll go beyond that and dont go under 1.000 words for each category.
I was also able to find a broken external link on the best autorithy website for my niche that I'm pretty sure will do some work for me. I've already registered that domain and 301'ed towards my website.
The first problem I faced is that I did read that Amazon Affiliate API is being a bit harder for lowest conversion sites, and they are cancelling their API if there's not enough sales on the website. I dont want to risk my site to stop working if somehow Amazon decides to make my API stop working, so I just designed a good-looking box with HTML/CSS to manually embed my products. If the affiliate site works as good as I'd like, and I get certainly sure that my API will forever work, I will swap these product resumes for AAWP ones.
Within the next days I will complete the content for the rest of URLs so they are not nude with only products, and then I will start backlinking and tracking positions on main keywords.
I will keep this updated!
