Is This The New Way To Get Away With Scraped Amazon Sites
I was pleasantly surprised today when I saw that my auto scraped Amazon Woocommerce sites was actually ranking pretty well for the long post titles.
- Descriptions are scraped from Amazon
- A featured list is scraped from Amazon
- The title is scraped from Amazon
Well actually not scraped but pulled from their API but you get my point.
Few potential reasons why I get away with it:
- Site is based on an expired PR3 domain so perhaps I get some trust from Google instead of using a brand new domain, and obvious it has juice to get some results.
- The product pages are not too thin, as there are multiple tabs, showing the scraped product description, additional information presented nicely in a lis, see a product page here: http://www.padsonline.org/shop/scrat...pet-house-11l/.
- The somewhat relevant back links help, previously the site was about people and dogs so it has anchor text's with dogs and labrador and that kind of things and now it's a pets site.
I used other tools before to scrape Amazon, for example Fresh Store Builder, where I also build the site up on expired domains but that time on PR1-PR2 domains and the very long tail titles weren't ranking anywhere in the top 500 for any of the 6 sites that I tested it on.
For this site I planned to rewrite all product descriptions and titles but as I'm already getting some results and traffic right now I'll probably put in on a hold to see how rankable those category pages are (where the more interesting keywords are present).
