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

[splishsplash]

I had a very simple, but still very important question. and wasnt able to post it because of BHW Moderation system. It blocks me everytime I want to post something. (there where no urls, swearing etc.)

BHW please understand, I'm not going to pay you 100$ just to be able to post on your forum. No way I will.

EDIT : and now it allows me to post this.. what a great anti spam system haha.

Let me try one more time:
How to create page that will support homepage silo? Is it enought to create new pagr, link it to the homepage, and link back from homepage to new page?

This thread is awesome btw.

You only need 15 posts for the anti-spam system to be disabled.

What's your daily income now? would you please share ?

Got another question regarding SILO structure, so hope the OP can answer this as well. Sorry for having a few questions for you!


Example:

My website is about bicycles. I make a post with nice content etc. I have a category as well. The keyword is in the domain. URL will be like: http://Bicyclesred.com/bicycles/red-bicycles-london/
1. Is this a nice structure for silo? The keyword is bicycles, category is bicycles and red-bicycles-london is a longtail keyword targeted in the url.


2. If I wanted to follow the same example above, but have another keyword like cheap towels, in the domain, and towel as category and cheap towels in the post title/url, will this be ok or bad for seo? Like CheapTowels.com/towels/cheap-towels/

Is the keyword repeated a lot of time here bad or is it totaly ok when doing silo?

3. Can I add the same post to more than 1 category, for example the cheap-towels can it be in the cheap-towels category, in the towels category and in soft-towels category?

Do you think your 800+ backlinks are really important to reach your goal?
Are they there to help you get it faster or simply because you can't go without them?
Should I start a brand-new Amazon Authority website like yours without backlinks (I mean the ones you beg for, not the "genuine" ones).
Thanks a lot mate!

Im about to build a authority site, i don't have one

 

[arganrecords]

It really is a nice journey, so motivating. But u started your site in february and started to makre little money in mid May. So it takes a few month to see results. What motivated you?

And also, when you build the article, i read that you target a main keyword, then a few longtails. Do you use the longtails in h2 and h3? How mayn h2 and h2 tags do you have?

And if I understand this correct, you would link from other long tail keyword to your main keyword post that have long tail keyword. Internal linking. Is this right?

And last question, do you use page or posts? And what's the difference between that? I've done posts on my website all the time and learned that it's the best way for SEO.

My motivation is the thought of success, I wake up thinking every morning that I can not fail
I'm using h2, h3 etc tags because this helps my contents to be easier to read.

Yes, I'm interlinking contents based on long tails and main keywords.
Actually I'm using posts but I customized them. Now they have the same template of pages but with all post's advantages

How to create page that will support homepage silo? Is it enought to create new page, link it to the homepage, and link back from homepage to new page? (also, should we achieve this linking effect through navigation menu or content linking?)

This thread is awesome btw.

Isn't enought in my opinion because you need to interling this new content with contents in the same silo.
I'm using content links because in my menu I've macro topics

Got another question regarding SILO structure, so hope the OP can answer this as well. Sorry for having a few questions for you!


Example:

My website is about bicycles. I make a post with nice content etc. I have a category as well. The keyword is in the domain. URL will be like:

http://Bicyclesred.com/bicycles/red-bicycles-london/
1. Is this a nice structure for silo? The keyword is bicycles, category is bicycles and red-bicycles-london is a longtail keyword targeted in the url.


2. If I wanted to follow the same example above, but have another keyword like cheap towels, in the domain, and towel as category and cheap towels in the post title/url, will this be ok or bad for seo? Like CheapTowels.com/towels/cheap-towels/

Is the keyword repeated a lot of time here bad or is it totaly ok when doing silo?

3. Can I add the same post to more than 1 category, for example the cheap-towels can it be in the cheap-towels category, in the towels category and in soft-towels category?

Soft towel should be included in the same category of cheap-towels, pool towels etc
I never include the same content in 2 different categories because your silos have to be closed and very tightly focused on a specific topic.

This structure "CheapTowels.com/towels/cheap-towels/" isn't bad, the important thing is that you interlink other pages to make it stronger.

Do you think your 800+ backlinks are really important to reach your goal?
Are they there to help you get it faster or simply because you can't go without them?
Should I start a brand-new Amazon Authority website like yours without backlinks (I mean the ones you beg for, not the "genuine" ones).
Thanks a lot mate!

Yes, are really important
Rank an authority website isn't easy and requires a lot of time, with a good link building campaign.
You can however achieve results faster but no link growth becomes a bet.

Im about to build a authority site, i don't have one

Okey, do it dude

 

[xstyle]

Thanks a lot for your answers, it helps a lot man. I think we are a few people here who read for motivation and for SEO help!

What you say is that "soft towels" can be included in two the cheap-towels category and pool towels category, but later u say you don't include the same content (I assume post/article) in 2 different categories? What is different, for example is soft towels or pool towels differnet from cheap-towels?

Are you sure that the structure, for example: "CheapTowels.com/towels/cheap-towels/" isn't bad? when the main keyword is repeated in the url, then in category and then in the url for the specific post? I heard that we should never repeat the same keyword or word twice..

Would you do it in a differnt way?

And three other questions, I am sorry mate if I annoy you, u can tell me then I will not ask so much ..but, do you only go for SILO structure if your site is bigger than X amount of posts? Like 50? Or 100? Is it worth to do SILO on a small site? <50 post or less?

I've seen sites rank without silo and on their homepage they got a statistic page. Do you recomend having a statistic page with price chart comparsion or a table or whatever on the homepage?

You said you use h2 and h3 tags etc, do you have more than 1 h2 and h3 tags? if you do, how many are you comfortable of having before making your site just look like a normal affiliate site without any value..if you understand me.

Well, I don't know anything about towels, materials and uses
The perfect silo comes when you know in depth the product, for this reason you'll need to know all about the product to create a proper silo structure.

Cheap Towels fits better with contents like "Towels Prices" and "Best Towels value for money". There is a commercial answer to this questions and this contents should be interlinked in the same Silo.

Repeating the same keywords in the URL is not a problem according to my experience. That said, what's the content in this folder? >>> CheapTowels.com/towels/
I think is useless having that folder because your main keyword is in the root

Silo isn't the only way to rank, I mean that is a method that helps you out but you can rank good even without it.
You can use multiple h2/h3/h4 tags to create a hierarchy, on the contrary never use more than one H1 tag.

For the statistic table question I can advice to test before confirm your winning formula. Every audience responds differently depending on the niche

 

[harrydino]

Talking of structure, how can this be achieved with or without a silo plugin. Using "CheapTowels.com/towels/cheap-towels/" as a case study where towels is a static category page with only one long post and cheap towels becomes a post in the towel category?.


i created a category page and also used a plugin to add and edit content to the page using the content editor but when i remove the "category" slug from the url my content refuses to show on any browser.
please is there anyway around this? or can i get a better suggestion on setting up the site.

There's too much focus here from people on silos.

Silos are ONLY for authority sites, people. Your 50 niche site does not need siloing, and your 15 page mini-site certainly doesn't.

Got 100-200 articles? You can probably have 1-2, maybe 3 silos. 500+ articles. You need siloing.

I doubt even 1% of you are looking at having sites with 100+ articles let alone 500+

Siloing is only for when you have drastically different topics.

If you have a site about blenders, you don't need to silo. Blenders is one silo. The whole site is a silo.

If your site is about kitchen utilities and you've got blenders, juicers, knives, then yes, silo.

I'm sure everyone knows about the electric shaving niche. That doesn't need siloing. It's all electric shavers.

If you try to silo a single niche you'll actually lose power because you're segmenting your site and not letting relevant link juice flow properly. You don't need to silo braun shavers from philips shavers, or thick beard shavers from medium beard shavers etc. lol.

I think 99% of you are getting your panties in a twist over siloing when you don't even need it. Relax and just go and build sites, people. Write stuff, get something going. You won't make money sitting trying to anticipate every move and get some perfect siloing structure going before you even start.

Siloing doesn't even matter that much in 2015. Google is good enough at determining relevancy. Providing you have a lot of contextual internal links with good relevant anchor texts, then google will understand exactly what your site is about.

 

[pinturicchio]

I just read the whole thread again. This time I took some notes in form of a mind map. This really works for me and can highly recommend it to others. So Im organising everything before getting started.

Grazie Argan!

My thoughts exactly. Just start writing, it's the best thing you can do. Much better than worrying too much about silos and other technical stuff.

Siloing is a great user experience method to provide best relevant contents to your audience, for this reason I'm using Silo even with a 10 contents website
Seo isn't the 100% in a Seo project, sounds paradoxical but it's true according to my experience!

Yeah, organization is the basis of an effective project, do it and go hard with it

My thoughts exactly. Just start writing, it's the best thing you can do. Much better than worrying too much about silos and other technical stuff.

As said I think Silo is the best way to provide great user experience and to decrease your bounce rate

Thanks man, I appreciate it. I am new to the silo thing, i've done more paid traffic stuff lately so thats why I asked a few questions.

However, OP say silo is still the way to go. Confusion!

 

[fastcooler]

About products research, do you use some software tool or do you find items manually? Thanks

Argan is creating a huge authority site.

Here's the questions to ask:

Is my site over 500 pages?

If yes, am I making at least $5k/mo in my online business?

Yes: Fantastic. Build an authority site and keep researching silos.

No: What the heck are you doing even considering a huge authority site that could flop and cost you huge time/money when you're not making money yet.

Is my site going to be over 100 pages?

If yes, am I making at least $2k/mo in my online business?

Yes: Fantastic. Build your mini-authority site and research a bit more about silos, but don't overly-worry about them. It's not make or break for you.

No: Forget it. You can make money with a page that has a single 1000 word article and 5x500 word supporting articles. 10 of these is far more likely to yield you profitable results than putting all your eggs in one basket. You do not silo small sites.

I don't see how you can possibly silo with 10 articles.

If you had 10 silos you'd just have 10 articles that don't link to each other.

If you have 2 silos then you've still only got 5 articles interlinking. That will hinder rather than help a site. You're better off interlinking your 10 articles.

this thread inspired me to start my own amazon site. best of luck to you.

You've hit the nail on the head with this one. Most beginners (me included) set our sights on goals that are insanely lofty. There's nothing wrong with having a clear vision and a giant goal to reach - But we need to be successful in the smaller variations, i.e - niche sites, before we can have a hope in hell of sticking it out for the long slog to create an authority site like this one.. A goal? Absolutely.. A worthwhile pursuit for a beginner? I think not!

 

[MichaelJon]

Don't get me wrong though, OP. This is still a hugely inspiring post!
