Page 1 in Google w/ Amazon Review Site in 2 Days!

  • |
Hi Everyone,

I'm excited to say that my first attempt at an Amazon site has been going pretty well. I've hit page 1 in less than 2 days. I'm getting some decent organic traffic. I put up a unique review written by myself and kept the site very simple. No back links or anything.

I have some questions now. I have about 100 views so far on the site but only 1 click on Amazon. There are a couple links on the review page as well as an Amazon widget (not overdone). I don't understand how I can have that many views but only 1 click to Amazon. Is there a way I can test my amazon links to make sure that they are set up correctly? Or could it simply be my content?

My next question is....how do you remain on page 1? I'm hovering near the bottom of the page for my preferred keyword. Some days I'll be the top hit on page 2 (no traffic) and others I'm sitting at the bottom of page 1. If I continue to add unique reviews to my site will that increase my rank?

Thanks for all the help warriors. You've got me taking action and I love it!

    You need to build some backlinks - what you're experiencing right now is the 'Google Honeymoon' - Google will often bump brand new sites up to the first page for the first 3-6 weeks but I hate to say that it won't last.

    Keep adding good reviews and SLOWLY build some quality backlinks for the first month or two until you finally settle into your actual position - then it's just steady building of content and backlinks and a slow climb back up.

      If he is following the strategy that I outlined for him, this should not be a problem.

      @Tocholke: Are you following my strategy or something different? PM me your site and I'll see if you can improve your calls to action or link locations.

    Does your analytics programs distinguish between real human 'views' and google-bot clicks?

    With new sites/webmasters many people think that they are getting good traffic only to realise later that their analytics is counting bots within the view count.

    Wolf:

    Is the plan you're referring to the higher priced course you offer? I think it was about how you structure your review sites.

    Thanks for the comments everyone. Yes, I have used wolf's amazon blueprint to hello me get going. It was the only WSO I bought that really made sense to me.

    My tracker does differentiate between bots and actual views. The views by bots was much higher than my actual views.

    I went into my site from another PC and noticed it wasn't formatting properly. That may be why my conversions seem to be next to nothing. I also only have one review up. I'm hoping things pick up when I add a few more this week.

    Awesome! Glad you are starting to see results. I wouldn't worry too much about click throughs with just 100 visitors. It happens. Now, if it continues, it could be an issue with content or link placement. I can take a look at your site to see what u can do about optimizing content and affiliate link placement / calls to action.

    Good to hear but definately start backlinking as it will keep your site high up. Also may want to keep adding content to your site to keep google happy.

      While I agree with the content addition, you can do very well without manual backlinking when you target the right products.

      I have reviews on some sites that I posted in April of 2011 still ranked on page one and never once built a backlink outside of the initial automated bookmarking of it.

    Good Job! Only one review up and your already have 100 views!

    I'm also following wolfmmiii's blueprint and have 6 reviews up but no-where near that many visitors. In fact, I'm not really getting any traffic at all.

    Maybe I'm doing something wrong?

    Wolfmii, do you mind sending me a PM where I could contact you so you could check out my website and give some suggestions? I would really appreciate it!

      I'll shoot you a PM with my email address. Traffic depends on lots of things. Some products just aren't conducive to buying online or you just may be having problems ranking (too much competition).

    Wolf is great. Gave me some pointers on my site. I'm going to implement them this weekend and I'll post the result. Hopefully I can get at least one conversion.

    I have 50 product reviews averaging 30 unique visitors. I'm creating 1 review every day.

    And today I'm branching out to another Amazon site building 2 a day till it hits 50 and that's where I start building 1 review afterwards.

        Haha I'll just ask you here. I'm sure you've seen my site before. I'm now at 50 product reviews, averaging about 30 unique visitors every day. Is this "average"? I'm still building and I'm also moving on to another site as well. So I'll be having 2 sites now doing the same concept.

          Wow! You really have this down! Most of the products on your site (that I saw) are ranking on page one of Google. Good job!

          "Average" is hard to define. Some of those products are fairly expensive and some not so much so you have a pretty wide variety on your site. My personal target is 100 visitors per day on a site before moving onto the next but that's just my personal preference. Keep doing what you are doing. You are on the right path!

            That's all I wanted to hear. Thanks a lot man. I'm still going to post more products non-stop but I'll be venturing on to another category not sure yet.

    I have another question for you guys. Is it better to add a whole bunch of reviews at 1 time or slowly feed them onto the site? If slowly putting them up is better...what would the timeline be?

    Keep backlinking with quality links and add high quality content regularly. SEO is not as easy as you can imagine. Now you're no.1 but tomorrow no. 1000.

    You can be proud if you get rank no. 1, STABLE.

    Let see how it goes
