Amazon sites still not ranking...

you're going to have to do some backlinking if you want them to show up - even for really easy competition. I can't really recommend how to backlink these days as I've gotten out of that game but if you can find some good high-pr pages and a few bookmark/video submissions should do the trick.

Many amazon gurus here have said that it is unnecessary to backlink these websites at all... Im not talking about not rechaing the first page, im nowhere to be found in the first 50 pages lol.... The gurus claim that without a single backlink they reach the first page within a week.

I thought it would be reasonable to expect page 10 after three weeks of product posting and some backlinks...

I know a girl who can fit an entire banana in her mouth.. doesn't mean I can!

nor would I try, but seriously... if it's not working for you, it's not working for you.

My advice is simple...
If you want traffic/sales for your site you should promote it.

Right now, google doesn't know who you are, nor do they care. Show them you're willing to generate your own traffic and that your content IS getting attention from SOCIAL sites and you'll start showing up for those long-tail keywords.

Some easy steps would be converting your articles to video & linking those back to your site, pinning to pinterest, posting to facebook, twitter and other social sites. I'm seeing these social factors play the biggest role in "easy seo" keywords.

If a few social links and a youtube video aren't enough for a page one, do some seo and see how it goes!

Keep posting new content, and track what your old sites are doing...it's a long term endurance race not a sprint. Just take a look at what you're doing now and how you can automate that process to be more efficient at getting you the results you're looking for.

I searched for your EMD phrase (4 words) and I'm seeing far different results than what you are seeing:

PR3

I did not check backlinks.

3 weeks is not a long time in Google world. Personally I would get at least some good backlinks, make sure your pages etc are seo friendly. I have no idea how Wolfmmiii can rank a site so quick but I have found within about 4-6 weeks with a bit of backlinking my sites start to show. If you want instant results then you need to be looking at ppc.

I created an Amazon site on the 6th and it was indexed AND ranking (position 9) on the 9th of July. That's a site that took me a couple of hours with ZERO backlinks and only 1 post of about 250 words.

Wolfmmii is correct when he says you can rank a website without any backlinks. BUT...you need backlinks to solidify your position in SERPs otherwise your money site will be doing the infamous Google Dance...

Strangely I am having the same problem, although I am backlinking in the same way I usually do (social bookmarks, web 2.0 and social media). My other sites are fine in the SERPs, but this new site (3 weeks old) is struggling with keyword ranking, although it was indexed within a few days.

Hi,

It is easy to be indexed on Google. But for Google ranking for keywords" you really need to put in effort to optimize your page.

You can use the following free methods:
- YouTube video marketing (I use it and my website is ranked on top pages and the YouTube video is also ranked on the top pages. This is one of my secret weapons).
- Facebook (Google really loves Facebook. My website and Facebook are ranked concurrently at the top pages. I do not understand the reason but it just works well for me).
- Article marketing (sign up ezinearticles. Google loves it too. A lot of people use my articles and backlinked my websites).
- forum marketing (you are doing it now!)

Or you can use paid methods:
- get freelancer to do the jobs for you by backlinking to your websites.
- sign up usfreeads. It is a cheap and effective ways to get traffic and felt ranked since Google likes it too.
- purchase some useful plugin for wordpress which optimize in such s way that Google is able to link to your websites.

That's my two cents worth.
Hope this will give you a better idea on how to optimize your website. Since a lot of people only tell you the general things which do not help you much. I am willing to share what I know and how I bring myself to this level. In fact, I spent a lot to purchase a lot of junks from those so-called internet masters. In the end, it turns out that they keep telling the same things and lead you to no way.

To be succeeded, you need to TRY , TRY, and TRY until you find a good and workable method. You use and duplicate the workable methods. Because not everyone is good for all methods. Only use the workable methods for yourself.

Thanks for reading.

First and foremost, it is content that counts. Write at least 500 words of content, preferably in the 600-800 word range. The content should not be similar to content on any other site/s and must be unique. You also need to update your site regularly, the more frequently the better. Your article should have no more than 3-4 links to Amazon. Be aware that you have taken into account all on-page SEO factors on your unique content.

If you have done all of the above and are in a low competition niche with long-tail keywords, you stand a chance of a good ranking.

However it doesn't end there because Google like social linkages. Use Facebook ,Twitter and other social sites to your advantage. Make sure you are aligned with Google Plus, just that will ensure that you get a good pat on the back by Google.

Your site should not look like it has been made for affiliate marketing, that it has been unnaturally SEO-ed for high rankings. It means that if you apply too much of backlinking your site will stay off the front pages.

Build a Blogger site and build backlinks to that site. Let the Blogger site have a link to your main Amazon product review site. In this manner you can get the power of backlinking and also have a naturally powered site.

There is no fixed recipe to make this pie taste good. If there was, every affiliate site would be vying for a place on page one. All I can say is - if you focus on your site and less on the rewards your site will pay you back eventually.

Getting indexed and ranked temporarily is different than holding a rank against other sites over time. That's where backlinking comes in. Ican't see most sites that are targeting a single keyword maintaining seo placement without backlinks.

I think getting a backlink from high PR Blog Main Page will give you immediate results. Just my 2 cents

Apparently some people do well promoting Amazon products. I have never had any success with it. I have done much better simply list building and sending people to affiliate products that pay a monthly recurring.

Good luck!
