The Ultimate Amazon Thread Mark 2 - Q/A - Good/Bad

[Slambo]

Is there a way to create a redirecting link to Amazon without them finding out?

 

[Danny1111]

I think its better to discuss that in a BH Amazon Thread rather than this one.... don't really want to discuss methods
that can lead to an account ban.

So can you start your own thread ? Thanks.

Hey Danny I don't get what you said about Google Analythics:

That answer is simple .. To stop google from linking all my sites together .. The last thing I need is to lose 40 sites overnight.

You are White Hat, how can Google Analythics hurt you sites ranking by "liniking" them?

what is the best free alternative of google analytics......... ?

 

[Danny1111]

Simple - My Sites Are All Affiliate Sites - If Some Manual Reviewer Takes A Dislike To One - Then They Can Take Down My Whole Network Because I'm Telling Them Exactly What I Own.... sorry but for me that risk is not acceptable.

Also ... what is WH / what is Grey Hat / what is Black Hat .. basically any extra link building / spinning etc takes you out of WH Seo .. what I do is Grey Hat -- I do my best to appear as Legitimate as possible in the eyes of Search Engines - but since I don't own them -- they can change the rules any time they like.

If you have a different opinion or different risk profile - then that's up to you.

 

[Danny1111]

PR - you can get from BHW - from Fiverr - or sign up to a service yourself - just go search Google.

If you have a different opinion or different risk profile - then that's up to you.

I would second that completely. Personally I stick to 99.99% white hat, and much prefer using targeted niche site paid advertising, and adwords ppc.

Use whatever you want, just don't use all the same over all your sites. Mix it up a little.

 

[Danny1111]

I'm just not a fan of saying ... here Google - these are my 50 Sites - come take a look at them and if you don't like them or my strategies then kick all 50 out of your Rankings ...

I much prefer to limit any potential damage -- as I can always rebuild fairly cheaply ... I've never had to do this before -- but it would be silly of me to ignore the possibility of it happening.

So yeah I just try to stay away from anything Google.

Customize / Quality / Mix It Up As Panther28 said -- do whatever you can to avoid being seen as nothing more than a spammer.

 

[Panther28]

Yeah, i've been increasing my paranoia recently about having everything in google analytics and webmasters. I'm now starting to use a mix of different analytic reporting tools.

There is a good list here with about 3 really good free ones that give you much better options than google analytics.

quick question please: when does the money earned from amazon move from the "earning report" to "available balance" ?

I have earned few bucks few weeks ago and still my avail balance = 0 but my earning report shows the money . Does it move there when it's transferred to my account ? (which is 60 days after the end of the month ?)

thanks a lot.

@Danny and other people: have you guys experienced any weird movement with your Amazon sites rankings lately? I mean, there was an "update" recently I believe, and people have been talking about it for a few days already:

http://www.blackhatworld.com/blackh...-new-google-update-running-today-06-05-a.html

My Amazon sites targeting "product name keyword review" got tanked completely (-200 pos on SERPs), and many other doing Amazon reported the same thing.

For Wordpress blogs there is a super plugin that I found, that is an alternative to Google Analythics. It is called WP SlimStat, this is the page:

[johnnyd77]

Yeah I lost 20% traffic.

Went from 1000 visitors a day to 800.

That being said, I consider myself lucky. I know someone who passed from 2k per day to 300-400. He got hit like crazy.

Keep on hustlin

Anyone have any recommendations for someone who can build a good rather large professional looking affiliate site?

id love to build it myself but my Wordpress skills are nowhere near close to creating what I'd like done.

I just logged into the first 5 of my sites :

Traffic : -8.7% // +34% // +12.4% // +27.2% // +36%

Let's take a more detailed look in a week - as still seems more changes are underway.

May I know the age of your site?

[Danny1111]

well I started at the top - so they would be my oldest 5 sites ... 1.5 - 2 years I'd say.

like I said its very hard to compare what I have to someone who has just started.
