rschmitz could please explain LSI on example:
Let say i am writing content for page that i want rank for : women leather jackets
Google shows that related KW are :
We must insert them in content EXACTLY like this?
Or we should just have [on sale], [plus size] mentioned in the article.
thank you, got the idea now.The more support articles you write, the more google knows. You don't have to type anything exactly, EXCEPT in the title, and in the h1 tag. Your FOCUS should be on one single keyword per article. So, if your writing about women leather jackets, I would write "women leather jackets" three or four times in a 1,000 word article. Now, just insert those LSI keywords where they make sense. I spend more time avoiding going over 1.5% for any particular phrase, than actively trying to hit it, which is why I use a lot of LSI keywords. Also, as long as the word appears somewhere in the sentence, google will try to correlate it.
"Women's leather motorcycle jackets on sale, plus sizes in black and brown" works perfectly fine.
A piece of advice on "on sale" or "for sale" keywords. Stay away from them, Google highly favors the larger sites. Avoid them like the plague.
Great post OP. I started around November and have been able to get to the front page for some good keywords related to my site and on the 2nd page for some keywords with high searches (3k+) . Still can't figure out how to get those to the front page though. I've made all of $20 from Amazon, but just starting out it makes me happy. It's cheap products I'm selling for that site.
I just started building a new site using the silo method. I find the plugin 'Widget Logic' helps a lot for this. Still tweaking and testing, but your post has given me some good ideas. Love the idea of getting college students to write for you. I have a few around me so I may go try that.
I think siloing is the way to go moving forward. A tightly themed site seems to need way less backlinks to rank high.
Thanks for taking the time to share with us.
I'm new to this too, but how detailed this looks makes me feel dumb for not picking it up quicker.
Op I have a few questions I hope you could help me with:
On page SEO:
1) For a 500 word article approx how many LSI terms would you add? And does each LSI term you add have search volume or do you just make them up in your head?
2) No keyphrase over 1.5%, does this include partials? Like if page primary keyword was longtail: "best chairs for sitting", you would make sure even the word "chair" doesnt appear more than 1.5%? I see that being impossible with the added LSI terms.
Silo:
1) Are you doing a true silo, with no nav, no sidebar links, and simply just 1 link at the end of the article/page referring to the next page in the silo? If so, this must absolutely kill user experience. Unless your solely aiming for target SERP landing pages.
2) I dont understand your part on internal linking at all. If its a silo you cant internal link at all from my understanding. Unless it was to the next page in the silo.
Off Page SEO:
1) This is just in regards to the PR relevant blog comments; how many alias names will you go through in that first month of comments?
Lets say his amazon conversion rate is 2% which isnt that far fetched. He said his traffic was 4000 a day so...
4000 * .02 = 80 customers a day
lets say on average they spend 50 dollars and he hits at least 7% affiliate compensation (which is easy to do if you sell cheap stuff) just then his daily totals should be.
80 *50 = 4000 * .07= $280.00
Op a few more questions.
On these sites are you using pages or posts?
Do you allow or de-index category pages if you are using posts?
Also I take it your homepage is something like "best chairs"....what about the rest of the pages/posts on your site? Does each product you're promoting get 1 page/post to itself, where you are reviewiing it? And does that products page/post use the products name as primary keyword?
Aka "johnsons green chair model 3 review".
I cant tell from your OP if you are sticking multiple products on a page with a broad longtail keyword or if you're following the typical amazon route and assigning 1 page per product with the product name + model as the keyword.
use longtails as subpages , big keyword as main page and keyword categories as silo pages.Also I take it your homepage is something like "best chairs"....what about the rest of the pages/posts on your site? Does each product you're promoting get 1 page/post to itself, where you are reviewiing it? And does that products page/post use the products name as primary keyword?
