Hi Meathead,

Is there a limit to the amount of products we should be including in our articles? Obviously I don't intend to spam my articles with lots of links to Amazon, but is there a general rule of thumb, something like 2-3 links per 1000 words?

Also along the same vein, I though I read somewhere that google will downrank sites that have lots of affiliate links within them, should we be concerned with this?

Many thanks for your advice on this.

When you are writing the "best" posts I would usually include 2-4 products per 1000 words. Some might need more explanation than others - don't just write a list of products, write a short description of each, what's good about them and what's bad etc.

Done i and 2. It does take some labour and skill to write all that content youself. So ive ordered 2000words for the main content and I'm going to try and write the rest myself . If I can't I will have to pay for some more.
Meathead. Are you going to make a website at the same speed as the rest of us? So you can show us how its all done?

Thanks for your help,and kick up the arse.

Won't be building one myself but I did test all of the method on a friend before writing it all up.

You say only use Amazon.com, Can you explain why? Sure .com gets more traffic but surely this would work on the .co.uk site just as well?

.com is 10x bigger and it's much easier to get US traffic than target the UK or other countries.

answer me pls someone

I personally don't use EMDs but you can if you want.

I just built my amazon site but decided not to go with a review style, I go with an ecomm style which will let people add products to the cart and when they click checkout they will be redirected to amazon.com

I have content up to around 6000-7000 words for now but it is not in the category page it is in a blog post.
www.example.com/blog/whateverpost/

If I want to rank a keyword for category page (since it is an ecomm style) how should I do it?
(Adding an article to a category page is a good idea? Will it look weird in the eye of customers ? like what the heck is this 10k words before the products)

Seeing as you're not following the method, please stop asking irrelevant questions here. This post is not about building e-commerce style websites, nor about ranking category pages.

Meathead1234,
I choose a niche, but the problem is products in sub-niche are low-value items around $20 - 30 only. Is it worth of my time or I should choose another niche?

Choose another niche. You definitely want some products in the $100+ range.

As far as lower ticket items go, you will need to convert sales in much higher quantities in order to match a high ticket item.

for a $500 ticket item at 8% would commission you $40.00
for a $30 ticket item at 8% would commission you $2.40

The purpose of this thread as far as I understand up to phase 3 is to sell a lower number of high ticket items to be able to reach that 1k mark a month.
Do the math between high ticket and small ticket items and you'll see how much more you will need to convert in order to reach that goal.

Theoretically if you convert enough people or the market is big enough for the numbers to add up then it's the same... but assuming you pick a niche that naturally sells high ticket items and a market that's looking specifically for those items then sales & conversions will be more plausible making it more likely to reach that 1k goal.

Do correct me if i'm wrong. I'm still relatively new to this forum

Yes - this is pretty much it. People will order other things on Amazon when they click your links so having a mix is good but it's going to be a lot of manual work if you're only converting people with a possibility of making $2.40 per sale. My friend's site has some products at $1000 and when he sells one of them (not that often, but sometimes) it's ~$75 in one go which is a LOT of smaller products!

An EMD if fine, but not necessary to be successful. IMO Google isn't putting as much emphasis on EMD's as it used to. As per the OP's earlier post it'd be easier to go with some sort of adjective along with your niche like <niche>expert.com or <niche>pro.com use your imagination a little. Google will rank primarily on content and also on links to the site. You could be just as successful if you have a brand domain that means nothing - buyersinc.com or whatever.

When you are writing the "best" posts I would usually include 2-4 products per 1000 words. Some might need more explanation than others - don't just write a list of products, write a short description of each, what's good about them and what's bad etc.

Thank you both of you

I just want to know if i use EMD is there any low chance to get low traffic? Coz i heard google don't love EMD anymore that's all i want to know

Whoo! Excited to see phase 4.

For the sake of doing so, following along with a brand new site from phase 1. Got the new website and host setup, niche chosen and articles ordered.

 

[Verena]

Finallay I am going to try this one!

 

[N1ckG2]

Here?s what you will need:

1x 2000-5000 word article on the ?main keyword? (usually most searches). This should be a ?buyer?s guide? or similar about the niche. Keep it informative with everything they need to know about the niche.

This article should mainly be informative but should include a few products throughout, including one (I use the best seller on Amazon) for this that will be recommended above the fold. With mattresses, the best seller is here ? this can always be changed later so don?t worry too much at this stage.

My niche is BIG but bestsellers in each sub-category are below $50. There are products priced $200+ with more than 50 4-5start reviews but they are not bestsellers.

Should I put the #1 best seller for $21 above the fold in the main article or it would be better to choose the rated #3 product priced at $280?

I know this can be changed later but changing the main product will reflect to the content as well so we better start the right way.

OR may be the niche is not good with only cheap products ($10-$40) as best sellers?

Hi there, first post in general. Going to try this method. Tried by myself in the past but never managed to earn any money.
Let's see how that goes!

 

[injjj]

Thanks! I'm thinking on starting an Amazon site. I will make this thread as my reference. Btw, I hope you will make post about link building (if you plan to)

I would stay away from a product that is below $100 simply because 4% of that is peanuts. Others may disagree and if you have a lot of traffic, maybe it'll work, but you also need more sales to compensate on top of that. So if $100 gets you $4, which is small already, I wouldn't mess with anything less.

How you make first sale? any sample ?

 

[Hecate]

This is so incredibly detailed! Looking forward to phase 4, as I am following along and creating my setup with these instructions. Thank you soooo much!

 

[Harvest Golem]

thanks alot for this awesome guide! Can't wait to see Phase 4! Making websites is what I've been doing for years, but driving considerable traffic to the site is still a mystery to me...

what's the best price range? $100-$200?

Hi,

A few questions. Although you have given specific guidelines, I just wanted to ask if doing something like this would be okay or not.

1. You advocate going for a macro niche. I picked a broad macro niche. Think along the lines parenting, gardening etc. The main keyword that I am thinking to target is "best niche blog" and I have it setup magazine style. I am considering this way so as to give a sense of authority when a visitor decideds to check the home page. Would you say its a bad idea?

2. Content

I have selected the 10 keywords and got articles on them. I want to mix in 10 general articles to the niche. Again, I want to do this so as to not get my site penalized in rankings for being a affiliate site and also give some value to the visitors.

Specifically, Instead of having just best product for x, best products for y type of articles, I wanted to have general articles like how to do x, and how to do y related to my niche. Would you say its a good idea to do so. Whats your take on this

And boy, I can't wait for the link building phase. I am sure there will be some golden nuggets in there.

 

[LJ Junior]

Wow, this is little exciting, now. Ordered my articles, TAT is 2 days!
I called it exciting because with whatever little experience I have NEVER GOT ARTICLES WRITTEN EVEN BEFORE SETTING UP WEBSITE.
I generally set-up after 1st article, only.. Static front page, lol..

1 question:
I have selected a niche where the price ranges from $200 to all the way $3000 approx..
But I see very little competition. I mean the articles in second page are almost irrelevant or slightly relevant.
Do you think I should think about competition, right now? Because it might get little competitive in near future..

 

[ukbilla]

thank you for the post, most helpful

 

[SOCOM]

what's the best price range? $100-$200?

100+

Don't limit yourself

 

[oplaopla]

Very interesting indeed, seems pretty standard so far, I'm mostly waiting for the way that you bring traffic to your site.

 

[aganiceiaara]

I do have a question regarding the articles. Let's say our main article explains the different types of mattresses and how to choose the best mattress for you, then how do you introduce the affiliate product review? Or do you just create links randomly? Thanks in advance
