Amazon Site Game Plan Help

I'm trying to lay out my game plan as I think I have kind of got the hang of things ( less time consuming now) and need to add a few others in the mix to get maximum effectiveness.

I have gotten to manage my time and organise my self better with one of my bigger amazon sites .

This is kind of detailed so don't flame me and please add your opinion about each step and if possible give your steps maybe to add some to my game plan.


1. So far I am adding an article daily (getting it straight to my inbox from my writer) takes me around another hour to add anything I think would be interesting ,customizing , adding images, graphs and amazon links bla bla bla.

2. Throwed up a couple of youtube videos ( really crappy in my opinion) but they are driving a little traffic here and there.

3. Got my link building outsourced ( Kind of to soon to really see a difference).

4. Have down a few answers on yahoo answers (Think I should outsource this completely as it offers a high conversion rate if you take time to answer and your content is any good)

5. Adding a link (for direct traffic) with some good information on forums that rank in the top 20 for any given keyword or related keywords I want to rank for.( if available)

6. Seems that stumbleupons traffic levels are increasing when I share now (stumbleupon users have a certain preference in content-images) , found the right timing to go viral. Bounce rate sitting at 60% with an average time of around 1 minute + and 1.5 pageviews/user , hard as I have always had endless failure imo with stumbleupons high bounce-low visit duration up till now .

7. Going to be doing alot more contests as it seems to drive truckloads of traffic and links. (30% increase in earnings when I tested)

The things I do are nothing out of the ordinary , most of you already do it but Im willing to slowly build up the methods add new ones and drop the ones that don't have a high return on investment.

Main competitor
tomshardware
(Most of there traffic is driven from there forum) I will be adding one to my site in the future and building it up when and if I have the time.
There content is superior to anything other sites offer ,there reviews are so detailed that there isn't enough room to improve (15+ pages on each aspect of each product).

I will have to find an alternative method or way to showcase content and other aspects of products maybe find stuff from other industries to the mix maybe get above there level of expertise.

My content is in no way even close to what they do , but hopefully at some point it will.

Opinions ?

    1. So far I am adding an article daily (getting it straight to my inbox from my writer) takes me around another hour to add anything I think would be interesting ,customizing , adding images, graphs and amazon links bla bla bla.

    I would add as many articles as you can a day but at the same time don't get burnt out. If you have a set of teammates to do it with you then GREAT. Just don't devote all your attention to articles. Images, graphs , comparison charts would be great!

    2. Throwed up a couple of youtube videos ( really crappy in my opinion) but they are driving a little traffic here and there.

    Definitely throw some YouTube vids. And I don't think it's crappy. Plan it out accordingly and make the vids FUN if you can make your own that is!


    3. Got my link building outsourced ( Kind of to soon to really see a difference).

    Talk to Mike Anthony or Mike Friedman if you want to build your own network. I can't find any good services out there. How did you do with Nik0's service?

    4. Have down a few answers on yahoo answers (Think I should outsource this completely as it offers a high conversion rate if you take time to answer and your content is any good).

    Yahoo answers became a little strict. Try to find relevant forums if anything. But it never hurts. Just keep testing it out.

    5. Adding a link (for direct traffic) with some good information on forums that rank in the top 20 for any given keyword or related keywords I want to rank for.( if available)

    Agreed. You definitely want to start organizing yourself with an excel sheet with all the logins + Forums and posts you put a day.

    6. Seems that stumbleupons traffic levels are increasing when I share now (stumbleupon users have a certain preference in content-images) , found the right timing to go viral. Bounce rate sitting at 60% with an average time of around 1 minute + and 1.5 pageviews/user , hard as I have always had endless failure imo with stumbleupons high bounce-low visit duration up till now .

    Stumbleupon is great, hit up other socialbookmarks as well. I personally like reddit, but I'm sure it's going to be freaking hard to get in there. Try diig (?).

    Also, sign up for Google Authorship! Build up that relationship with Google+ and have a strong social signal. Have that strong circle but people that's relevant to what you're all about. Don't just add every person.

    7. Going to be doing alot more contests as it seems to drive truckloads of traffic and links. (30% increase in earnings when I tested)

    Do it!



    Another suggestion I have is sign up for Google alerts. Type in the keywords that you've targeted , if it's electronics then go for keywords like Sony, Panasonic, cameras, etc. etc. Put it as you go or w/e the settings is so that way it lets you know the latest post / discussion that you can be involved in.


    Try it all out man. .

      Thanks for the suggestions ggpaul.

      1.One article a day is probably the fine line between quality and quantity with one writer, the writers content is pretty solid in my opinion and I try to add my own personal touch sometimes if I think its subpar.

      2. The youtube videos were made from a friend and are simple image+music+ text ones , thats why I said crappy because it doesnt have alot of value imo.

      3. I was checking out Mike Anthonys site last night , don't know yet as Im kind of picky.

      4. I havent tried yahoo answers in a while but 80% of the time my answers are the best answer (I actually take the time to do my research and I think am one of the more knowledgable people in my niche) so I guess I wont have a problem with strict rules.

      5. I remember things quite easily and have a few sets of standard login-passwords.

      6. Digg is kind of dying down now of what I heard , hit and miss for me when I tried, dont seem to understand the system anymore when it changed hands.

      I actually have authorship setup , from day 1 as that brings me in alot traffic from personalized results. I have 1260 people following me (half are from before the site launched) and quite a few have me in niche related circles. I don't know how to measure authorrank but I have alot more followers than most in my niche and have 2-4 people adding me daily without doing anything in particular.

      I have facebook and twitter setup with over 900 followers on both.
