So I currently have one of the sellers here working on creating an amazon affiliate website for me but I'm kind of been reading about SEO in the meantime. (if in the wrong section please move mods)
And the more I read the more I realize I don't know - and I kinda feel like I'm experiencing paralysis analysis.
I'm sure everything I read does help and is beneficial, but as a beginner what are the things I need to be focused the most about?
I don't expect this website to profit until month 3 (more realistically month 6) and then breakeven at a year would be fantastic.
However, I do want to do this properly as it would be awesome to have for beginning to create a digital real estate empire or to sell and do all over again.
From my basic understanding, it seems I need to be
1. KW research. Targeting longtail keywords with buyer intent.
2. Content - writing/hiring writers that has good content, no shorter than 1k, preferably 2-5k.
3. Links - quality over quantity. Not gonna be worried about links in the beginning tbh. Feel content should be more important.
But that seems to be super-simplified, and under each pillar seems to be a dizzying amount of information to read.
KGR's, densities, stuffing, etc.
Content - silo structures, internal linking, should my authoritative article be what makes the money or the shorter articles targeting long-tail keywords? How do I talk to a content mill/writer about good SOP's? What articles do I write first?
Links - Guestposts? Do PBN's still work? Are they safe to use if I'm looking to resell the website or have long term stability? When should i start worrying about PR's and other forms of whitehat link building?
Wordpress - I've never used WordPress from the ground up before. Ironically I've used WP in the past when I worked for an online publication but a separate editor formatted to their guidelines, I simply posted my work and submitted for review. What plugins do I need? What themes?
I'm not expecting someone to spoon-feed me; simply linking some useful threads or pointing me in the right direction would be super great. If I have any more questions after that, they can be a lot more specific hopefully
