Hi everyone,

This is my very first post :-) I will sound very confused because I AM. I am so very overwhelmed. I have read loads and is trying to take action. But, I really feel a little lost at times.

I need some useful advice on the following:

Setting up a mini site; how many pages should this be? I have read that it can be a landing page or it can have up to 10 pages. If it only has 1 page google will shut you down.

I have set up the sales page then added a squeeze page to direct customers to, upon their exit if they don't purchase my item to opt - in to my mailing list, is this ok to do? The main things I want to achieve is sales and list building.

Would I need to add other content to the site like articles for blogging?

How do you manage selling products as an affiliate for a site which sells a variety of things e.g. a superstore. Should one usually focus on 1 product in general?

At what point do I add the backend products as an upsell? These would be for the the affiliate products.

I was told that the following would needs to be done, is it general practice to do this with a minisite or a sales page? Since, I thought you are supposed to just drive traffic to the one page. I planned to use ppc.

1. "Site not Indexed: I looked at your website and it is not indexed by the Google which is a very serious concern. This is not good that website is not even indexed by the Google.

2. Error in Meta Description: Meta Description for the website is not up to mark and there is a mistake in description as well. Meta description should be unique and error free. Ideal length for Meta Description is 150-160 characters.

3. Meta Title: Meta Title of the website needs to be updated as well. Meta Title is the most important part from SEO point of view and should be utilized in best possible way. Ideal length of Meta Title is 60-66 characters.

4. Size of the Website: Size of a website is an important factor and Google gives value to the websites with good and unique content. Google count size of the website while assigning page rank to the website. I know it’s an affiliate page but without these changes it won’t be possible to rank using white hat SEO.

5. Blogging: As I explained above content is very important for any website to rank, blogging is a great way to do this. Regular blogging will provide fresh content both to the user and search engine and will also increase the size of the website.


6. Social Media: Social media is the largest source of traffic and an effective social media plan can do a lot for you. Social media shares and likes are being used as a signal by Google for ranking in SERPs. I would suggest active social media participation to increase your web presence.


7. Social Media Share Buttons:Social media sharing buttons helps visitors share the content they like on social sites of their choice and this helps increase your presence on web. I would suggest adding these buttons on the site to help users share your content on web.

8. XML Sitemap: XML sitemaps helps Google index the pages of website so there must an XML version of sitemap and it should be submitted on Google Webmaster tool.

9. Google Analytics: Google Analytics should also be installed so that website performance can be measured and tracked."


Thank you all for taking the time.
