Hi All

Well I will not pretend I know what I am talking about because I do not, so heres where I am at right now after doing some poking around here on Warrior Forum over the last month or so, I have been ponding over what to pursue as a carer and tried out Amazon simply by creating videos on YouTube to see if I could gain profit through acting as an Affiliate so far gained roughly $20 or so, I only did this to see as a test really just to see if I could make some money and yes not much! but still it worked.

Now I am looking into the next big step creating mini Niche sites I have purchased the Amazon Sniper tool which is fantastic, I also paid for the Amazon plugin from a great member on Warrior Forum so now I guess is the next stage of learning a bit more based on SEO, so I ask myself a question do I spend my time on each Niche finding the Keywords manually or would it be best to purchase a piece of software any tips, feedback, would be great and much appreciated I feel that with Amazon it could be the way forward for me, I did post a thread only the other day and was asking for advice and I did take some just stop looking and focus on what has made you money already.

    I haven't tried any automated keyword research tools. At least to start, I would focus on promoting products that you have some sort of familiarity with. The Google Keyword tool is a great free tool to do your keyword research. I actually enjoy this part of the niche site-building process the most, so I wouldn't want to automate it.

    As far as SEO tips, just focus on making sure your domain contains your keyword phrase, and your title/H1/desc also have the keyword phrase in them. Your main page should also have a minimum of 500 words with approx 3-5% keyword density. Try to have your keyword phrase bolded at least once too.

    With regard to off-page SEO, I would recommend outsourcing this to some competent warriors. Try various services and combinations of link-types until you find ones that deliver the best price/performance. Personally I've had a lot of success hiring warriors that specialize in article marketing. There are a lot of warriors that have great feedback, so just check their threads in the WSO or Warriors For Hire forum.

        Think about the advice. You are competing against amazon. They have zero
        keywords in their domain. Url, yes. I have never done a website for a specific
        amazon product, but do them for a category of products, like best books for
        a particular keyword.

        Remember, you are not only competing with the producer's site, and amazon and
        buy, etc. They are set up for buyers, not domain tricks.

        To see a case study in selling amazon products, the link in my sig, electric socks,
        sells a ton of items via squidoo from amazon. It ranks very high for combinations
        of electric socks. Top site is thunderbolt.com, which again proves that keyword
        domain theory wrong, especially for amazon products. Thunderbolt owns the niche.

        The page works because it is set up to be found by buyers. That's the key.
        You want a page optimized for buyers, not looky-loos. In choosing amazon
        products, you want a product that people who search for it are in a buying
        mood. Not perusing.

        Find out what people are typing in to search for the product. You can get an
        idea by trying combinations in google instant. Then put that in your url, or
        yes, domain maybe if you can get it, but title and url are of the utmost importance.
        Then you want a well written content page on the specific product group.

        Concentrate on product groups, not necessarily specific products. You paint yourself
        into a corner and come up against the big, bad amazon brick wall.

        I have been very successful in my dot coms making sub pages such as best items for
        certain niches.

        Here's the kicker. When people search for a product category, they also in most cases
        want a little background. They don't get that at amazon.com. IMHO, they are more
        likely to click on an info site very near the top, passing over amazon and even a
        manufacturers site. They are looking to buy and are interested in some info. Make your
        page do both.

        If I was doing a specific domain for elctric socks, I would do the following:
        myfeetarecold.com/electricsocks
        That is one of my secrets in creating webpages. Cool domain, keywords in subpage url.

        If you were disappointed in your results today, lower your standards tomorrow.

          Hi Paul


          First of all thank you for taking the time to write up that reply on my thread with some very useful information indeed, where I am at right now is toying with the idea of taking the plunge so to say of selecting the Niches and then creating the sites, I have all the tools but if I am 100% honest just a bit scared to get started as silly as that sounds.

    Its not only amazon that you can use to promote your products. try social networking sites like facebook and twitter that will give you huge traffic. the most important thing is to link build your site to gain quality backlinks.

      Hi There

      Thanks for taking the time to reply to my thread, well at the moment I have sort of narrowed it down to Amazon this is only because I tried my hand with some Niches at Max Bounty etc.. but did not really do so well, so it's just really hard to determine what to choose and focus my attention on which is why I choose Amazon.

    Hey Lee,

    I'd focus on a high quality product that kicks out a decent commission on Amazon, build a mini site with 15 to 20 pages. Focus on 15 to 20 keywords around that niche, tweak the on-page factors so they reflect this:

    1. Choose a target keyword and supporting keyword
    2. Place the target keyword in the title tag, meta description, URL, breadcrumb, bold it, italicize it and link it to another relevant article.

    Then once the on-page is done, just link build and track results. Use various relevant links like:

    1. Blog comments
    2. Guest articles and blog posts
    3. Web 2.0 articles like Squidoo and Hubpages
    4. Article directories like Go Article and Ezine Articles
    5. Profile links

    Hope this helps!
