Amazon Authority Website Journey to € 1000 a Day - 100% Outsourced

[arganrecords]

One more good day You are continuing with the good job.

Do you think it will be more accurate if you publish the ordered items every day and not the commission ( I know that everyone wants to see how much money you make lol ), because the ordered items correspond to the day , but the earnings are accumulated from previous days orders ...
And one more thing : Where are days 36 and 51

Yeah, optimization for this website will never end, only in this way I can create an Authority Tank
Commissions are accumulated but my goal is to reach 1000 € a day and to track progress I want to show the real situation and where I am compared to my goal.

Day 36 and 51 T are no longer with us lol
These days I forgot to update the thread but I'll make sure that does not happen again!

Were the recent guest posts published?

Not yet, contents for link building purposes are bigger than contents on my website and it's hard for just 1 copywriter write 8000 total words of contents.

Few guest posts (3) found few days ago were published today but I need to find new copywriter

Great thread to follow! Truly inspirational.

Can I ask if you use social signal packages on any of your sites?

Thanks

Day 53
Google Traffic: 605 UV ★★★Record★★★
Earnings: € 41,56
Total Articles: 318 (+2)

Traffic grew by +17% compared to the previous record (515 UV from Google)!
Every new record is bigger, for me this means that my website is ready to fly and attract traffic thanks to the constant optimization that I'm doing.

The first difference I noticed compared to smaller sites (less than 50 pages) is that the big sites require constant optimization and adjustments.
Then to make sure that everything goes well I have to calibrate each day my target keywords and always fix content categorization.
The interlinking is the key to achieving this level of perfection and enhance keywords in main contents (pages that I want to rank better than others).

The link building is giving me great satisfaction and I will continue to find blogs to publish guest posts until I can get backlinks from 150/200 unique domains.
I'm playing with big players, this mean that I need a lot of link power and I'm going to provide it to my site
In some SERP I already beat Amazon and eBay and I have 12 keywords in first position (from 90 to 1600 montly searches).

8,000 words??? Damn! You really are going in on this project lol. Keep up the good work man. I'm loving this journey.

yeah, I want to go hard with this project using all firepower possible

Can I ask if you use social signal packages on any of your sites?

Naah, I don't use any social share "trick" to boost my social signals
Tested a lot of times, only waste of time process for me because I rank better using only social profiles, a lot of backlinks and great on-page optimization (anche my "secret" is obviously keyword research)

Hello Argan,

I have one question regarding keyword competition analysis.

Since you said that you trust MOZ for competition analysis, what is the Keyword Difficulty % that you aim for on MOZ?

A good % for me is from 17% to 35%. From 35% I experienced a lot of work to do to rank my keywords

Hi

I've recently come across some wp plugins that extend the lifespan of the amazon cookie (from 1day to 90days) due to adding a product to the cart direcly (trough the api it seems) are you using any of those, or how do you rate them ?

In theory they should boost to some degree the sales, as not everyone purchases on the first iteration (at least i don't)

Day 54
Google Traffic: 596 UV
Earnings: € 53,76
Total Articles: 321 (+3)

This in the image above is the yesterday's situation.
Never got 28 products ordered and it's a personal record for any website.

A lot of this are books, so a good 30% are unrelated products.
With 690 clicks I think it's easy to capture the commissions

To hit 100 € daily commissions I need at least 1500 UV from Google and I think I'll hit this very soon.
I'm waiting for the backlinks to take effect and at that time the website's traffic will explode.

For now I'll continue to work steady.

I want to thanks all you guys because you're my fuel and you're helping me to go hard every single day!

Well, I don't know if it's possibile. I mean that when a user clicks a "Add to Cart" button, he will be redirected to the Amazon's page where he needs to click another time the "Really add to Cart" button.
So your 90 days cookie will be applied only after this double click process and I think your conversion rate will be lower simply because on the "Add to Cart" Amazon's page there isn't the product's description/reviews/images.
I don't use this kind of stuff right now but I'll make few tests soon

Wow! Nice progress so far! I have been watching this for awhile now, and I would just like to ask how much you have spent towards the site vs profit (if you have profit yet).

Besides this, keep going!

 

[tipz4all]

can you share your total earnings for the site last month?
cheers!

 

[pyros]

A good % for me is from 17% to 35%. From 35% I experienced a lot of work to do to rank my keywords

Thank you for posting this Journey and also replying to each question with such details.
Being said that, can you please answer this. I always have a problem of selecting bad keywords with competition analysis. Most of the keywords I choose end up being too hard for normal seo.
Can you suggest any other free method or tool(for the time being) of testing and choosing keyword competition like you said above for Moz competition analysis.

 

[elhosary]

are you keywords like this nikon vs canon camera "this is just example ".. do you think this keyword can convert well

Yeah, started to profit the last week and the goal of this journey is to reach 1K € a day so I will only publish my daily earnings

can you share your total earnings for the site last month?

Mate you can find this information making the sum of daily earnings

You can use SemRush or any free keyword suggest tool. Any long tails (from 4 words) is less competitive than main keywords.

are you keywords like this nikon vs canon camera "this is just example ".. do you think this keyword can convert well

Few keywords are comparative but to know if work you need to test it.
Every niche is different and you can't really apply 100% of same rules

Day 55
Google Traffic: 580 UV
Earnings: € 81,80
Total Articles: 326 (+5)

Today was a very profitable day, for earnings and for the link building activities.
I got 3 total good links from a PR2, PR3 and a PR0 (with good trust and from DA 25 to 36).
2 are no follow and 1 is do follow but I'm happy because this kind of backlinks are useful and powerful in any case (I'm creating a lot of backlinks in full of content pages).

I can say that is a great start for this month and I will go hard every single day to reach my 15000 UV from Google a Day asap

Congratulations, your journey to reach your goal is progressing very well. I read your posts and it seems that there are no obstacles or unexpected. But I wonder if there is something you would not do it again about this project that you want to share with us?

Hey,
lets have a look into the future and say you reach the 15000 UV or even more, which would be great.
But lets talk about Infrastructure.
I guess you use also caching plugins for Wordpress, so that all pages will be delivered from static HTML files. So PHP don't need to work a lot.
Can your Server/Webspace/CDN/Connection handle, lets say, 100 simultaneous visitors or even more? And what is your infrastructure?

I can't get your question mate
You mean hard things I don't want to do the next time or mistakes that I don't do again?

This is a test of 3 random pages and my website and isn't slow. This tests are done from USA and my servers are in France (so for Italian people is really faster).
Actually I'm using performance 1 from OVH with guaranteed resources (not shared).

This plan includes:
- CPU: 1vCore
- RAM: 2GB

I'm paying 13 $ a month and isn't bad
Until now I do not need more power and I think that with 15K visits a day I will upgrade to performance 2 (2vCore and 4GB Ram).

I'm using W3 Total Cache and a really light theme, with clean code.
In this moment I think my infrastructure can handle 100 visits at the same time without problems

Sorry mate, i Mean mistakes....
