A Journey using BHW "Done For You" Services

[Fashionable]

One question I'm hoping someone may be able to help with.

I've signed up for Amazon Affiliate Network. I'm UK based so have signed up to that, and chosen products.

Do I also need to sign up for the US (And other) Amazon? Will my US visitors all be directed to UK site?

Any help/input would be appreicated!

There was a thread about low quality services here so this is coming in clutch, good luck man. Let's see if those services are really done for you type.

You need at least amazon com as the kw will be largely based on USA searches . So your customers will be put off if they get sent to co UK and either have to wait for products or no international shipping or products not shipped internationally . So get a .com account with amazon at the very least then think about geo tagging

Seems part of the journey is learning what services are useful and shit . The bad part is learning you’ve bought shit services too late and damaging all your hard work . For me I’m putting up 4 amazon sites and will be limiting any link work / not starting any link work until a time when there’s no other option . Plan is great seo optimesd unique (not spun new written by me) content in mass . Tons of quality content per site over 2 years . If the sites are making nothing THEN I’ll think about link work after I’ve evaluated what organic links the 2 years have generated . For amazon affiliate sites to work the main thing is to have the balls to wait it out before throwing nukes at it in the hope one will explode and wipe out all your enemies. Getting the link work wrong is a tightrope best avoided let the sites age and they might mature on their own with great content

Exactly . Some services work others screw your hard work right up . Imagine say 18 months of hard work then some shitty links sends your site into oblivion . !! Quality content is irrefutable . No one argues against it . But seo services ? Great reports shit reports which report will you get ?? Who knows it’s a tightrope and your hard work balances on it ive read recently someone spending 30k on seo and still getting burnt . That’s a lot to loose . Spend the cash on content then you know what your getting is quality

Yes, you need to sign up to each country separately. Its a pain in the backside but once its done you are all set. I'm UK based too.

Amazon is a brilliant program, converts really highly - just make sure you target the buyer's keywords

Things progressing well:

Site Bolt have 3 very nice looking websites up and running, and the content looks decent (Native or very close to it). Very nice mobile versions of the sites too.

I've also got keywords through from 2 of the other suppliers, all looking healthy and will be buying the domains shortly, so they can get to work.

I've also switched over to amazon.com as per recommendations above.

I'm going to let the sites index themselves and simply focus on content. I wont do any link building or off-page SEO but will be ordering a minimum of 2 750-1000 word articles per site per month.

I see these type of services as a great starting point, but want to really push the content. I'm expecting to have 15k words on all sites by Christmas.

At least if you get great content you won’t be worrying about shitty links . You have 3 sites ? Will you be writing the content yourself if so 1 pillar and the rest Lsi articles ? Will you make your articles posts or pages ?

3 sites so far, however in total I've ordered 13 sites across 4 sellers.

I'll pay for content (Please let me know if you have a good content writing service). Mixture of:

Item review
Item comparison
General information about niche/subject

I'm also aiming to expand the niches a little. For example if the niche was car tyres I'd put articles about car wheels, alloys etc.

I’ve ordered 4 from 2 sellers £500 in total for full packages . I’m waiting on the first 2 should be delivered sat 7th domains set so come sat they’ll be live and I’ll know what I’m working with . For 13 sites to have 15 k by Xmas you’ll need a good budget as that’s nearly 200k in total . I’d avoid the cheap sellers as all you’ll get is spun crap which will bollocks your sites from the get go it’s cold on page 97564 .

And 200k of quality content might be costly . When you get the niches ask yourself does the niche warrant 15 or can it be wrapped up in 5 k 1500 pillar and 7 x500 supports

Good point. Not sure I'll keep up that amount of content for smaller niches or lower keywords.

Good luck on your sites - which sellers did you use, if you don't mind me asking?

@Vere

Vere and jack team two off each . Hopefully a good start to build it massive search volumes so 5 k should wrap them up as micro niche but enough to learn and grow from . If they truly fire and forget I’m planning 100 or so self done so the only cost being time domain /name and getting the quality volume ratio right enough to rank high enough to make ££

If I can get ten making 3k a month it’d be worth the 15 grand I’m going to throw at it

How are your sites looking ?

Update - I've split this into the services used so you can see progression. It's on quite early in the journey, so some of the sites are not yet ready.

Links to all marketplace threads are on the first page of the journey if interested:

Site Bolt

All 3 sites are now pretty much built and have the advertising on.

The layout and speed are all great. The quality of the articles is good, however a few of the articles aren't as relevant to the niche as they could be. The niches all look decent and the speed of delivery is impressive, their communication has also been excellent throughout.

The logos are average quality and they have added things like favicon etc.

The home page for all of the websites is indexed by Google (After only 3-4 days) which seems a positive sign, as I've done nothing to them. The other pages and articles are also starting to drip through.

Other Services

The other services have all now provided keywords, a couple of notes on this below:

Jackteam - They have taken longer than the other services, however the keyword research they are doing is very in-depth/extensive. They've provided samples of what they're working on, and I'm hopeful for some real gems here.

Vaspar - Keywords supplied look strong and I'm happy with both.

Thenonparell - I ordered 5 sites from these guys and there was some very close keywords - therefore I've requested a couple of replacements, which they've agreed to provide. The best example I can think of is one niche being car tyres and one for car wheels - they were just too close for my liking, especially as I'll be ordering more content.

However the keywords provided look good for niche websites and they're swapping out the similar ones.

Following - hoping to see more details.

Question2:
1. When they upload the sites, do they add plugins (Yoast, wordfence or any others)?
2. Do you have to give them cPanel access or is WP access enough?

very very interesting journey buddy! I dont trust premade sites, but I'm looking for your results! Best of luck!

1) Depends on the package - some will add things like Yoast SEO, will be able to confirm once they're built. Others do some link building (Site Bolt provide this as part of the service) to get you indexed/started
2) Just WP access

Jacksteam have now come back with their keywords and I have to say they are the most in-depth (With a lot of research including competitors and long-tail). I just need to get the domains sorted and then they can get to work!

I'll soon install statcounter to the sites so can see if there has been any traffic. I doubt it, but who knows as they are indexed.

This is an awesome journey thread to have. I did something very similar several years ago here: https://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/case-study-building-an-authority-website-using-100-bhw-services.809191/. The results were not that impressive, but I attribute that more to my inexperience working with sites of that nature at the time more so than the quality of the purchased services.

If I had to go back and do it all over again, I'd focus far more on content and far less on link building. I'll be following along, best of luck!
