Niche Site Case Study ($1000 a month target) Adsense + Amazon Affiliate

[Himpy]

I am aiming for 10 articles a month. I do no link building at this time, I will do in the future when I target keywords with higher searches. For me SEO is

1 - Create a title that will attract clicks that is not click bate, backup the reason why the visitor clicked on your link in google search
2 - Dont try to rank for single keywords, write long quality articles that can rank for lots of long tail keywords
3 - To rank in google you need to have good bounce rate and time on page / site, writing high quality articles will give this
4 - Link to other internal articles on your site, this will pass link juice,.
5 - Be prepared for it to take a long time to see traffic


I would say no follow all external links, why do you want to give external sites link juice?

True, it's one of those questions where you get answers for and against. Like many other questions in this game haha! Best of luck man.

Keep going.. Following this journey

One question though, with the buyer intent review articles, will it be easy to get adsense approval?

I dont think its an issue?

I also forgot to attach a screenshot of the keyword rankings.

Great going. Good to see that you rank in top 5 for some keywords. Is the keywords info related or money keyword? Whats your keyword strategy? How do you determine the keywords.

Hi, it is a money keyword, has extremely low search but a super focused buying keyword, simular to "Cannon d90 G2 flash addon review"

My keyword strategy is like this.

1 - I search google and get a list of websites in my niche. I then use neil patel ubersuggest tool to export what keywords the sites are ranking for.
2 - I then go through the list and remove keywords I dont want. At the moment I am targeting keywords with 10 - 500 searches
3 - I then take these keywords and run them through Traffic Travis (There are other tools available) I extract the low competition keywords.
4 - I then head over to google and enter the keyword, google will then autosuggest some searches. I will choose one of the autosuggest to write an article about.

Seems like a good strategy to find low competition keywords. I will try to emulate the process and let you know my results

Well planned journey. Best wishes.

1) Can you explain more about how you determine low competition keywords? Do you use paid version of Travis, (free has limit 30 keywords). Can you advise some other tools like Travis with free versions.?
2) how do you pick up keywords for writing article? Which long tail keyword do you put in title, which in text. How do you group keywords for article?

 

[dkv023]

For example. You have low competition keyword which has 30 volume . Do you put it in title like main keyword? But it has small month search - 30.

 

[MountainGuy]

For example. You have low competition keyword which has 30 volume . Do you put in title like main keyword?

Yes put the title in the keyword you want to rank for.

If you can put it in the first paragraph as well in a natural way that is good. Try and put a variation or two in your h2 h3 etc ..

You can sometimes bold it at the beginning of it's a question your about to answer.

2) how do you pick up keywords for writing article? Which long tail keyword do you put in title, which in text. How do you group keywords for article?

I have the paid version, Its good for me as its a 1 off payment. As for point 2 more info below

For example. You have low competition keyword which has 30 volume . Do you put it in title like main keyword? But it has small month search - 30.

I more interesting how he works with low keywords how he pick up 10-20 low keywords and put it in the article.

I will give you a live example. I have another site that has 1.5k visitors a day, The website is about cheats for %SOMETHING%. My best ranking page is ranking for 418 keywords. (Screenshot of google webmaster tools)

Lets say I have found the keyword "how to cheat at pokemon go" I type this in to google and it auto suggests "how to cheat at pokemon go without getting banned"

For the title I will use something like : How To Cheat at Pokemon Go Without Getting Banned [New Method] I added [new method] at the end to get more clicks (People are wondering whats the new method?)

For the 1st paragraph write a short intro like. Do you struggle to catch pokemon in pokemon go? Well I will show you how to cheat at pokemon go to easily catch pokemon without getting banned.

For the 2nd paragraph write : To cheat at pokemon go all you need to do is install and activate a 3rd party app which will enable you to cheat and catch pokemon easily.

Ok, in the 1st paragraph we are giving an intro, I dont usually use the exact keyword in the paragraph, I just write what seems natural. In the 2nd paragraph give a quick answer to the question and make sure to bold the first sentance, this will help you to get the google snippet (Poitiion 0)

I also add an image after 1st paragraph and call it something like -how-to-cheat-at-pokemon-go.jpg

now you dont want to give the reader the answer strait away because they will read the answer and leave, so what i do is head over to google and type in your keyword "how to cheat at pokemon go without getting banned" scroll down to "People also ask" for this search I can see


Can you get banned for using fake GPS on Pokemon go?
How do you play Pokemon Go Hack without getting banned?
Can you still cheat at Pokemon Go?
How do you fake your location on Pokemon go?

Next to each question you will see a down arrow, click the arrow to reveal the answer, then press it again to hide the answer, 2 more questions will now pop up, Keep doing this until it runs out of questions (You can get 100's of questions from this)

the first keyphrase is perfect "Can you get banned for using fake GPS on Pokemon go?" I will add this to my article in a H2 tag. try to write 200-300 words about it.

then repeat for all the other questions. In my example above there are also codes for the cheat so I would write about the "Pokemon Go Cheat Codes"

So hopefully will rank for 100's of related keywords.

Small Update

Have started to receive traffic from google, I am getting 1 or 2 visitors a day, I know not a lot but good to know people are finding my site and i am not writing to a ghost town. My writter had a family emergency so is unable to write the articles required. I have managed to find someone else to write articles so will hopefully hit my 40 article goal at the end of this month. I have written 4 high quality articles this month.

So far I have had 25 visitors from google this month, It is going to be close to reach my 50 goal.

Below are the keywords I am targeting, good to see they are climbing slowly. The 1st keyword is my main keyword.

The only link building I have done is to my main keyword, 2 guest posts and about 20 blog comments on low OBL pages
