How does this Amazon Store Strategy LOOK!!

7 replies
Hello warriors any advice on building my first amazon store blog. Which I will be placing simple reviews for products found at amazon. Also I have a few ideas on a domain but any suggestions would be great. First off the products I have chosen is shoes. I will be writing very short reviews on up to 1000 shoes through out the next few months.

The reviews will more or less be around 300 words or less and include an image for the product. This is to gear up for xmas since I know I can obtain a few front page spots in very little time. So here is my strategy leaving out a few key pieces to not disclose how I will be obtaining front page results entirely.

First I will be picking a domain that is easy to remember and has the word shoes in it. Some examples tacshoes.com shoesfit.com i wanted to do happyfeet.com but I am sure there is some kind of trademark on the term. Any other examples you can think of would be great.

Structure:

The site is going to be wordpress based to make it really easy to get around and add content when new products come out. The linking structure is going to be category/product . The categories are going to very since I want to make it as easy to navigate as possible. My thought was to first build a main category set like mens and womens then add sub categories to the brands. Once all that is done I will be building the site so that it is adding new content every single day. I figured 20-30 different products a day for atleast the first month would not only get me great ranking from the start but would start to give me more and more authority in the serps eyes.

I am not sure if I want to drip feed them in so they show up at different times of the day. For instance 1 product every hour on the hour. I will of course be back dating a few of the post so it looks like I am not the new kid on the block but have been around for a little while atlest.

The one concern I am having is I use eza for much of my promotions on many of my sites. They how ever do not allow linking to keywords longer then 3 words which could make this a difficult task in the long run. However I know I can link to longer keywords on other article directories.

I am going to try and find a design I can modify the header graphic some so that I can make it more personalized for the shoe market. I do have some knowledge in photoshop so modifying a header is not a problem at all. The main concern I have with the free designs is that some times they force you to link to them in the footer. So with out the actual knowledge of building my own wordpress design I am going to be sticking with a free design to start with. Once it has generated a few hundred it should be no problem to hire someone to build a brand new look. I will also be looking for a design that is fully seo optimized for the most part so it makes it easier to get rankings.

I will not be using ppc for the first few months just because I like to guage a market first and see how well it does with free results from the start. A few of my linking strategies will be article directories, social bookmarking sites, twitter, and forums. There is actually one other main method I will be using but I can not disclose this method for it is to powerful for some. I have however shared the strategy on the forum with many before but it is one of my little tricks to gaining front page listings really fast. I am not to sure of how to build a press release for a products store so I may not be using those until I can pay some writers to create me a few and distribute them for me. Since most of my time is going to be tied up in the start. From writing all the reviews and adding them to be feed in on given times.

I understand the full products names have very very little comp and very little traffic. However if I can get onto a few top search spots for shorter tailed keywords the site should start to build traffic by itself over time with an easy to remember domain name. Since I have many other sites I figure the time I am willing to put into this new site a day would be about 4-5 hours a day. This is just so that I do not let my other sites slip with their rankings.

Does this sound like a pretty good strategy to start with. What are your thoughts. Any ideas on what domain I should go with. This was actually my second product choice to get ready for xmas but ran into a problem with a tradmark issue on the keyword term laptop bags so I scratched that idea. Even though I had already wrote about 20 of the first post that where going to go on their.

Let me know what you guys think of all of this. Thank you and sorry it is a bit long I just wanted to give you as much as I can. To ensure that you can give me a better response on other things I should do.

A few of the plugins I will be adding to the site are as follows.

Askete a must to deter spamers. Yes I know i spelt it wrong but dont feel like looking up the proper spelling at the moment.

Platinum Seo plugin to help with the meta info

google sitemap xml

feedburner

max blog press ping optimizer

max blog press banner tool

tubepress

Privacy policy plugin

and a few others. I do not know all the plugins I normally use off the top of my head but these are the ones I make sure to use on all my sites no matter what. I might add the analytics plugin but I know some coding so simply adding the code to the design works with out having to worry about a plugin. I do normally add cystats plugin but I think I will be leaving that one off for the time being.

I also figure I can add in some adsense on the site to help generate a little extra income. I just have not completely made up my mind on it as of yet. Do you think this would be a good idea or no.

If anyone has any ideas on this would be great since I am just waiting to see what the warriors here have to say before I get started.
