Hey everyone and happy holidays.
Thought i'll share this piece of information with you because i believe its super valuable to know if you're building any type of affiliate website and especially amazon affiliate websites.
THIS ISN'T MENT TO BE A SUCCESS STORY, MORE OF A CASE STUDY THAT YOU CAN LEARN FROM. IN FACT ITS MY LEAST PROFITABLE WEBSITE, EVER ^_^ LOL , WELL CURRENTLY.
So I wanted to test a theory, since everyone is saying "content is king", and then build pbns and backlinks, I was thinking
"what if I can find low comp kw (not extremely low, ill explain), buy lengthy, good content and make sure its good, and not build a single link, will that make me money?"
Heres What I did :
1. Found keywords in a specific niche [enough for around 30 articles]
2. Bought content from a writer
3. Posted + edited all the content to the site.
Some more info about the keywords/articles:
* about half of them were information type keywords [how to]
* the other half was buyer keywords [ 10 best products reviewed]
* the content was good, but not a "stay at home mom writing about how she raised her babies" type of good... meaning the writer wasn't an expert in the field nor did she have any passion to the topic.
The domain was brand new, I built 0 links, just wanted to see if google will help me outrank other sites even tho they had more links, due to the fact that my content was lengthier and better.
Results -
so the first post was published at 2018/07/12.
On november 2018, I had my first month of commissions, about $30.
Its been pretty stable and boring since, so
Nov 2018 - Nov 2019 the avg monthly profit was $30.
In Nov 2019 the profit grew to $97
This Month [december] were at $150
You can see the graph below :
In terms of traffic: [image below]
THE CONCLUSION / WHAT WE CAN LEARN FROM THIS CASE STUDY
OK so obviously the conclusion is that you CAN rank a website without doing any type of off page seo [no link building whatsoever], I also didn't share on social media or what not. Simply posted the articles ant let them age.
The keys to do that are :
1.Picking super low comp keywords [which I didn't in that case]
2.Buying / writing lengthy, good, content [min 1500 words, and some pillar posts with 3k-5k words]
I also DIDN'T update the website since posting all of the articles way back in 2018.
In hindsight the keywords I used WERE NOT good enough, meaning I picked keywords that are a little more difficult to rank for then what you should.
Im going to build 4-5 websites using that exact method since I don't wanna deal with backlinks for now, however this time im going to find super low competition keywords and have even more content and just let it sit and age... IMO they will all make money, and extremely passively.
Then down the road if you choose to, ofc you can add backlinks... its choice time
Hope that helped and let me know if anyone has questions, thought it would be useful to those of you who are looking to start or are already buidling amz aff sites.
Peace.
