rjd,
My biggest issues as to why my campaigns don't have positive ROI are 1) too expensive clicks 2) bad landing page.
For clicks, I was paying around $0.5. I was using keyword + cure, solution etc. type keywords. How much were you paying and what type of keywords were you using?
For landing...
I gave a try to Bing Ads and CB, following the ideas you posted on this thread.
This is the Bing Ads part. I guess CTR is good because I'm using long tail keywords.
However, I'm wondering if the bid is still too high? I tried with lower bids, but then received only a ridiculously low amount...
Nope. Two reasons:
1. Amazon affiliate programs work independently
You need to be registered on Amazon.de (.me doesn't exist) affiliate program separately. It's totally different program from Amazon.com. But what if you are registered on both, are you getting commission then? Not quite...
2...
Whatever you do, try to target less popular products (those without many reviews and ratings) - especially in the beginning when you don't have many backlinks to boost up the rankings. Even with little to no offsite SEO, you can get reviews concentrating on such low competition keywords to SERP...
The "content is king" is undoubtedly a very bold statement. On one hand, there are those who say "content is (always) king". That is not true for the reason you said: ranking high competition keywords with a fresh new site with 0 backlinks is impossible. On the other hand, there are people who...
Words of wisdom. I have experienced same kind of trends, conversions are better with high quality content and as a bonus, you will get those backlinks from actual sites when your visitors notice your content is useful and they want to share it to their readers :)
Let me explain. If you chase low competition keywords, by publishing great content you can make nice income with zero (or very little) backlinking yourself. Your posts will be ranked high enough for visitors to find your site, and when they see that great content, they will want to share your...
The above answers are rather bold. Content is definitely the king if you manage to hit the SERP #1... and that would happen with the right keyword selection, long tails that is. Of course if you're chasing very competitive keywords pure content isn't going to get you far. But with low...
I'm a living proof that content works for SEO, you just need to ensure it's great. But I must also add, a gentle push in the beginning by building a couple of high quality backlinks helps. After that, I'm done with worrying about links. Tested and tried method? Sure. The only tested and tried...
Great content alone will get you far. People arrive on your site and find useful/informative/funny post which they'll link to, perhaps on their blog or forum they're participating in. I agree you need a great backlink profile to succeed, but you in no way have to build these backlinks yourself...
That's known as negative SEO. Many providers are ethical and don't want to do that. On the other hand, many still do. My site has been getting hundreds, even thousands, bad backlinks since the beginning. However, there are good backlinks to back me up - they're given by visitors, wouldn't have...
The risk is always there, especially if the backlinks you bought are so cheap. Moreover, you can ask yourself this when outsourcing SEO: If the backlinks people are selling are so effective as they say, why do they sell them to others in the first place, rather than keeping it all to themselves...
