question from a newbie

4 replies
Greetings!

Jumping right in with my first post here on WF....smile....

Do any of you promote a physical product that you produce yourself (other than ebooks)?

Would you consider using word press and putting each item up as a separate post? From everything I've read this sounds to me like something Google would like, and I can easily add daily posts and build the product offerings up slowly.

I haven't across a site using this method and wondered if it's taboo...
So...instead of reinventing the wheel, I thought it worth asking...

thanks for your help!

    I haven't seen anybody do anything other than Ebooks, but im kinda new here too, so hopefully a vet chimes!

    When I first started 18 months or so ago I thought I wanted to get into Drop Shipping. LOL and then I found affiliate marketing, which was far easier and the margin isn't that much worse. I also had this idea that I was going to create a physical DVD product to help seniors use a computer. Again affiliate marketing ruined all of those plans.

    It can be done but there are far easier ways to promote stuff online. If you were to promote your own products I would encourage you to use a shopping cart instead of a straight wordpress blog.

    Not really sure what your asking, but I think you want to create a WordPress site promoting a physical product, by creating a post per product. With Google site structure isn't that important. What is important is backlinks, and what the anchor text in the back link really is.

    So you could create a WordPress site with each post, but just make sure that the anchor text in the backlinks are the keywords you want to rank for.

      Nickolie0990,
      That's how I'm populating the site, with each product as a post. I'm using paypal for my shopping cart, and the buy button is in each post.

      I have links on this site to some of my other sites, but that's not a backlink is it?...sheepish look....

      Mostly I wanted to verify that the search engines don't frown upon this kind of setup, especially since a portion of each post is identical to every other post....

      thanks all
