[Case Study] 3 Month Amazon Affiliate Website | 400+$ in November

[sergey007]

How did you send traffic from youtube? I have used youtube videos to send traffic to my amazon site and all the videos were deleted by youtube.

I do not promote anything in my videos and I do not add affiliate links to the description. Just one link to the inner page of my website to diversify my backlink portfolio.

Hi,

Thanks for the useful post.
Few questions over here as well:

1. What is the big difference between a PBN with bought domains or free domains( wordpress etc.)? Does it index faster/better?
2. Is it better to create first a PBN before creating blog comments or does it not matter?
3. When you have a PBN, do all the blogs link to your money site or is it smart to point to other blogs( in your own PBN)?

Thanks,

1. Both free domains and expired domains index fast if they are not banned. You can use indexing services to make the process faster. The only difference between expired PBN domains and free domains is that expired domains have much more authority from the very beginning.
2. It does not really matter. You can post comments on relevant blogs and add PBN links at the same time.
3. Never interlink your PBN domains because It leaves a huge footprint. However, linking to several relevant authority websites from the PBN posts is a good idea.

Sorry if I am asking some question you have answered here. Just want to make sure things .
1. You are using static home page right? (700 word)
2. Other post will go into inner page right?
3. Your keyword is a "product name" "best product name" or "product name review" right?
4. Since your home page contain 5 best product what kind of keyword you target for homepage?
5. So your home page is targeting the main keyword which has 600 searches and other inner pages were targeting other keyword with 100 monthly searches. Am I correct?

Thanks for answering mate.

Thanks for answering mate.

My homepage is optimized for keywords such as top PRODUCTS, best PRODUCTS and so on and yes, it contains about 700 words. Concerning the number of searches you are a little bit wrong. The main keyword gets about 6000 searches per month. Inner pages are optimized for keywords that have 1000-3000 searches/month.

Hi Sergey.

- What is the percentage of people who click through "buy" links on your pages?

- Do you have any requirements for your writers as to the template of review/comparison and word count? Do they write emotional touchy reviews or just simple product descriptions or some kind of hybrid? Is the template stable throughout the various reviews?

- How do you cash out? I mean - how long does it take you to receive and cash out their check? Checks may scare off some people. For example, net60+3 weeks mailing (at least) + 30-50 days bank processing - that means I may get my January's earnings only in mid-June.

Thanks.

1. Yes, it is a good idea. Quick tip: check this affiliate website that is in the same niche as you chose and you will get many interesting ideas about monetezation, ad placement and keywords. PM me for the link since I cannot post links right now.
2. Using .net is absolutely ok. But I would recommend not to use EMD and use brand names instead. It will make it easier to grow the website into the authority website in future and will look more professional.
3. Of course you will be able to rank if you have enough resources and time to beat them.

You can use either iwriter or hire writers right here on BHW. it takes time to find a good and reliable author at iWriter, however, when you found one, it makes it easy to order articles and get quality content.

Thank bro ! Can you explain how you choose products to get high convertsa ? Sorry for my bad english.

I start my research frmo Amazon and try to find as many good "evergreen" niches with different products as I can. I never build websites optimized for seasonal keywords such as hallo ween costumes, outdoor pools and so on.

Great work, Sergey!

I am Russian, however right now I live in Estonia. Thanks for kind words, good luck with your business too!

1. CTR is about 20-30% depending on the page. i am always trying to optimize CTR to make it as high as possible by placing ad blocks to different places.
2. Usually, my authors write some kind of hybrid with specifications of the product I promote. The article contains 500-700 words depending on the niche and product.
3. Cashing amazon check is a HEADACHE. I have recently switched to payoneer direct deposit service. It took me 14 days to receive the check and 21 day to cash it, and what is even worse, I had my September check stolen. Right now I am waiting an answer from amazon with detail about who cashed it and in which bank to file a police report and ask for compensation from the bank who cashed the check.

how did november finish up?

Thanks for asking, I will post a report with screenshots later today.

 

[Openside]

Think you missed my question .

What sort of content do you put on your sites..does it have to be really high quality or is just decent ok? I guess you really just want to get people from your site to amazon so that is the main thing.

Also do you write a few hundred words on the homepage or just populate it with individual product reviews?

Thanks.

Sorry for your loss, hope you'll get refunded.

But I thought that Payoneer for Amazon is a straight way to Amazon's account ban, isn't it? Different forums say that you can receive DD only if you're in US and using Payoneer is kind of TOS violation. What do you think about that? Did you have any positive exp with cashing out via Payoneer?

Few tips as well:

Not fo you OP, but for people who are new to Amazon affiliate websites. Because I only do that for living I new few things and I did a lot of research on Amazon topic.

1. I see many of you asking OP about home page article, home page article should be in my case 1500-2000 HQ article about the product in general or topic of your website with your main and secondary keywords, linking to your review articles (inner pages), also it is good to put some comparison table between products with links again to review of your product (for example, read more... not BUY NOW, you will give them that possibility on review page)
2. Don't put to many ads or links around your content (if your review is interesting, it will be enough one link under the article) and in sidebar put similar reviews (reviews of other products from same category), because you don't want that visitor thinks that you're just trying to sell him quickly as possible some product. Provide him valuable information, everything what he needs to know about that product without leaving your site

Those were some advices based on my experience with Amazon affiliate websites...

Interesting read. I have few question aswell

1. PBN. I'm new to PBN thing. You said You have 13 blogs. I wonder what are they about?
If You are selling hoovers on your money site, does it mean my PBN should be about hoovers? Cause it wouldn't make any sense to put an article about hoover on travel blog and link to my money site. By the way, are you linking to inner pages or domain?

2. How big are your PBN blogs? I mean, how many pages approx. one blog has

3. You said You commenting blogs. What do you use as an anchor text?

4. Your PBN is on shared hosting, so all these blogs has the same IP. Dont you think its a big footprint? Are they on same platform(wordpress?)?

Thanks
