Dude's Amazon Niche site without investing.

in my case it was banned permanently with Amazon adding that any future accounts I create will be banned. The ban came with XXXX dollars still in the account and primarily because I was displaying prices.

I'm not doing against Amazon rules (I hope so).

Did they wrote that they will ban ur accounts in the future?

yes the reply came from the CEO's subordinate directly - any future accounts you open will be closed and all your earnings withheld.

Never ever show prices of products.

Thanks for mentioning that! I'm not showing prices (thank god). I'm doing like this - Article title (Check best price)

And also using amazonjs plugin. Hope that is not forbidden.
 
Do you use any plugins to hide affiliate links from google? Btw: good luck with your journey
 
interesting journey its almost a month since you started any progress with earning?

Yeah, I used ThirstyAffiliates, but I think Amazon don't like hidden links. So i'm putting raw shortlinks. Do you think I should use some url shortener? Like bitly?

Yeah, I got 5$, but Amazon banned my account. So right now I'm getting 1$ with adsense. Not much, but I think when I will start to build links, I will rank my keyword in 1-5th place easy.
 
Try to plan your link building before taking any action so you know what to do next when the serps don't move.

How can I do that?

I'm doing forum posting and tumblr linking. Is that enough?
 
Update May 19.

I got first 4 sales!!!!! Soooo happy. On amazon my sales was 100 usd so I got 6 usd but it's still money for me!

And I got those sales on my niche site, where I have only SE visits, like max 10 per day. Last 3 days I got 80 clicks. But 60 of them was from social acc, so no sales for that.
 
You can always add products from NewEgg if Amazon doesn't excite you.

Overall mixing affiliate platforms can be key to increasing overall performance in all areas.

Media.net or other PPC networks could easily be placed on your site just to have that extra juice to add to your eCPM (take a look at eBay, Craigslist or Yahoo Shopping.)
 
Glad to see some progress, keep at it!
Awesome man! Congrats :D

Thanks :))

Can somebody help with Google Webmasters? How does this look? Good or bad?
 
I checked out your site and it looks pretty good. There are a few changes that may help improve it for you. I noticed that the flickr photo stream that is on the right sidebar doesn't seem to include relevant images to your niche. You could try adding a few or maybe just delete it. Also, have you looked into creating an email capture to get subscribers to your blog? It is an excellent way of building a list that you can market to for years. Last thing I noticed is that in the Author bio at the bottom middle of the footer, the wording seems a little off grammatically. Maybe try cleaning this up to add a more personal touch. Other than that, it looks good. A few more how-to's, free tips and tricks, etc. would be good because those cross market to Pinterest really well in that particular niche.

Is there any reason that you didn't try and get a .com, .net, or .org domain other than the money? I think that as you start earning more from this website, try reinvesting in a second domain. You could set it up in the same niche but maybe with a slightly different focus and link the two together. If they are relevant to one another, you will improve rankings for both. This technique works really well for me in my Amazon niches as I tend to build several related websites that link out to one another and I also guest post across my blogs. Give it a try and keep up the good work!

For now, don't concern yourself too much with rankings and webmaster tools. You could drive yourself crazy looking at those numbers and stats each day as pages move up and down in Google. Instead, spend that time in creating more new content. Schedule your posts too! I write articles on Sunday and schedule them to publish on Wednesdays and Fridays. After you start seeing your rankings stabilize for certain keywords (especially those longtails that will begin to rank on their own), go back and tweak your articles to improve traffic and conversions.

Thank you! I deleted that feed, they are my own photos :) Yes, I am, i'm installing SumoMe right now, will make a popup email subscribe.
I updated Bio.

Yes, I was trying to get keyword related domain, but all org,coms,nets was taken :( I'm planning to buy great one word .com domain, but it costs 1k$, but I think I will be able to buy it next year. I hope so.

Thanks for the idea, I will definitely try it.
 
I read the changes looking better. I also sent you a PM because I noticed a couple of new issues.
