Hi, a quick question.

I was wondering if i find a SINGLE product in Amazon eg. canon GF45.

And there is low competition and some decent traffic (not too much, eg 500 exacts / month for the buying keyword of it eg. canon GF45 review).

Anf if i get the EMD (canonGF45review.com) and post a long article on the product (2-3k words), shouldnt this rank fast with a minimal link building and give some sales ?

A whole site for a single product. Thats what i aim for.

anyone doing something similar with success (or not) ?

thank you in advance for sharing your knowledge and exp!

    I have a hard time seeing the logic in aiming for 1 product. Sure you might make some sales but its such a short term plan what's the point? A slight change for this 1 product can ruin your entire site. Why not work on a sustainable business plan and make an authority site targeting all cameras? So it takes a little longer and a little more work but it will pay off a lot more in the long term.

    Well big site have lot of authority backlinks thats why they are on top, but as you mention you niche do not have much competition you site will also catches with keyword soon using emd. but i suggest to make 3-4 page site with diff articles.

    You can certainly make money this way but not much. By competing for uncompetitive keywords you're only limiting yourself. Sure you can easily get good rankings for such keywords but the traffic you get is very little so what's the point?

    thank you for your replys.

    What i think is..

    With 2% conversion, i shall have 6-8 sales / month. With amazon 6% that can easily be 15$ for a 250$ product. That's 90-120$ / month from 1 site.

    If i create 10 of those... you get the point.

    my goal, is to rank fast and not have to do all the time-consuming writing and backlinking an authority site needs. Plus, that way i dont have all my eggs in one basket.

    what do you think ?

      Why not build a bigger site but have a PAGE for that item that you attempt to rank. Then expand the site to include more items.

      No point in limiting yourself to this one item.

      I also believe your calculations are a bit off and you'll make more like $40 a month IF you manage to rank #1.

    I see it as a waste of your time. If you value your time as being that worthless, then so be it. I build Amazon sites around whole niches (such as digital camera reviews). I would NEVER build a site around one product. You'll be competing against Amazon, the official site, Bestbuy, Toptenreviews and everything else.

      no im not. People are looking for reviews at that point of the buying cycle. Amazon, Bestbuy etc. are not competitors to me..

    canonGF45review.com = trademark infringement = ban hammer

    If the product is truly low-competition, you can rank for it WITHOUT exposing yourself to lawsuits and bans.

          thats different.. you got the point...
          what you say its even valid or not valid. If there are domains like canoncamerasreviews.com ranking.. then.. google allows that to happen

            It really depends on Canon...the risk simply outweighs the reward seriously.

    It has nothing to do with Google. That said, it sounds like you've already made up your mind.

    I wasn't talking about Amazon etc being your competition for the buyers point of view. I was talking in terms of ranking.

    Why the hell would you spend so much time ranking one product?

    Like I said, if you want to value your time and effort that low, then so be it. I know that I would NEVER build a site around one product on Amazon. It isn't worth my time nor effort, and I've been in the Amazon business for a while now...

    You've gotten some good advice here but it seems your mind is made up. So go for it and see how well it works.

    As far as the domain, I wouldn't touch a trademark like that. You can expect to get a notice from Canon if the site ever shows up in the search results. You can try and defend your point all day long, but when Canon finds it you will get notice to hand it over. This forum is littered with threads over the years with others who had similar thoughts to yours and had the same thing happen. But to each his own and I wish you the best of luck.

      You're far better off creating sites away from individual products, nevermind that you're dealing with the trademark stuff, once a product changes and your site doesn't reflect that change how relevant will you be to your customers?

      You set yourself up for a lot more work than you think going this route. As someone else mentioned just creating one site with a memorable domain name so you can rank those individual products as pages on your site.

      This also helps you establish a more stable customer base who will (hopefully) remember your domain since you're giving them quality information. And that's the whole point all along, right? You're trying to give the potential customer directly relevant information to further aid their purchase.

      I personally tend away from individual product reviews. I like giving general information articles about the product and the different types of that product, and what to look for depending on the individual need. It's converted a lot better for me, anyway.

    The risk is too high, especially for a camera product. Once the popularity for that product dies down, your website becomes totally obsolete.

    This is a short term plan. As soon as the product is obsolete so is your business. Electronics don't last very long.

    Instead, you should focus on a specific niche of cameras, such as Underwater Digital Cameras. Then, you can create a page/review for each underwater digital camera and always have the ability to add new products n the future. This is a more long-term solution IMO.

    Hi folks,

    I have a question;
    using a trademark in the domain is not an good idea.

    But with this example; canon GF45, to rank high for this keyword, is it important to have this keyword in the domain (with variable mispelling grammar when possible) or is the big point to have this keyword 3-5 times in your long product review (3-5% keyword density)?

    When I use a domain like; canoncamerareviews.com, I will rank with this keyword; canon camera reviews, but not with; canon GF45-is that right ???

    best wishes

      Hey, Don't use trademark in domain because it will fetch trademark infringement issues in the future. However, if you are itching to build an affiliate site on one product and doesn't want to alter your strategy then you need to change the affiliate model from physical to digital i.e. amazon to clickbank.

    Hi,

    @Slazengeer; why is it better to chance the business model from amazon to clickbank as example, to build one product affiliate pages?

    When I not can use a trademark in my domain (product keyword) which domian name should I use? I want to rank with the product name,not with an broader keyword domain name......


    best wishes
