Sweet! Now's the best time to jump in with the Christmas shopping season in full swing. If you can search out a high demand product, write a great review and package it in a professional presentation, you have something people want. Once you've got that formula down, backed with some automated tools that make it simple to rinse and repeat, you have the beginnings of a sustainable business.

Shoppers are buying stuff online now more than ever. Amazon's low prices, free shipping (and in most states, no taxes) have people craving product reviews and comparisons on all the season's hottest products and electronics before they buy.

Maybe this will help you get started > Creating a Product Review Site with the new Amazonia Template for ClickBump Engine*|*clickbump.com

That's the beauty of the method: none. The principal of the method is a very thorough keyword research, so you don't really have to deal with backlinks (which of course you can. backlinks can't hurt ), but not a necessity.

Hi xenter, I started out following Xfactor's guide regarding article marketing each site with 3-7 articles. However, for me personally, I found that the process was not something that could keep me motivated long term.

So I began experimenting with tweaking my template and content to maximize onpage SEO, along with some intense niche research (which I happen to enjoy much more than the article marketing), and I found that my sites were able to rank and earn, despite the lack of article marketing, almost solely on the strength of the template and strong niche research and selection.

To augment this, I utilized my "sneaky punctuation trick" for getting the initial backlinks to get the site indexed and ranked.

I later created a "system" around my techniques and templates to automate my processes and that has grown into the affiliate marketing toolset called "ClickBump Engine" for WordPress.

I now support an army of Amazon Associates, ClickBank Affiliates, Adsense Publishers and Corporate Webmasters who utilize the system that grew out of that initial effort and the techniques and best practices we have learned since.

I know this will be required sooner or later, but what is the technique of keyword searches. In general, I'm looking for a niche market with the exact search is very low.

hey Clickbump. just wanna thank you for your post. lots of very valuable info you posted here =)

one question .. do you think exact domain keyword phrases will run out eventually? since people are probably making like .. 50-100+ mini-sites per person. I'd think soon enough .. we'll no longer have keyword phrases to use for the domain?

Good point, but we are only using SPT to get the site indexed initially with a tailwind. There is some link juice involved since we are using a high PR site (hence the tailwind analogy) but you are correct in that it's not as much as if we had anchor text in play.

A noobe question once all the criteria in clickbump method is satisfied do you
cross check with any other keyword tool like MNF or MS.

Recently I came across a keyword with all the clickbump criteria is satisfied but when I crossed checked it with MNF it shows a red sign do I need to go for that key word or move on to something else.
Thanks

All is well under 3 years. The other part is the speed of the mark. You want to make sure you have clean semantic markup that the bot can digest. Prudent and appropriate use of heading tags, a tag is an informative and rich in keywords on each page, good content to answer specific research questions they want enough to click on ads that look more .

I don't, but that's just me. Once I've satisfied the main criteria, I've got the confidence I need to move on the project. Perhaps most importantly, the cost of failure is very low (essentially $8 a year plus your time).

Its up to you, and this does happen on occasion, so I would recheck the criteria match to make sure I've not missed something, then once its checked out, and I have a good feeling about the opportunity, I'd go.

Hello in Ol' Alabama,
I remember lyrics from a song from decades past when I pull a load through your state by Charlie Daniels "Goin down to Birmingham..gonna get some sunshine on my head..".

I had some questions about the program, sorry I did not go thru all 21 pages, but here goes.

The updates show only 6 months, why not lifetime? And do we have to pay for updates past that 6 months?


If I bought the full package,is that all we need to make a go of it or are there other features that cost?

I do well at adsense and wonder about my ad placement and type being used as I currently have them configured, or will I be limited? IE: wide skyscraper both left and right with large rectangle top center. All ads above the fold, works for me and was actually suggested by the g themselves in an email...

Will these templates migrate well with already established blogs/content with 50 k pages?

Lots of questions I know. Just wondering as this would be a good way to upgrade my installs which use a load of plugins.

You guys will have to stop with the snow down there and start playing that old song, stay safe..

Jim

This is an important issue. The process I use is that when I'm looking at GAKT of the sentence, there will be other "key words" listed below your research. I can use these, ranked by volume of research to determine the nature and content of my page.

Exactly, this is what people mean when they refer to adding LSI or latent semantic indexing terms to your articles and posts.

Alternately, you can use a post assistant like my SEO! WordPress plugin to do it for you automatically without leaving the post/page editor.

So for those of you who have successfully gotten a site to page one with this method, how long did it take?

From the time it got indexed until the time it showed up on page 1 how much time elapsed on average?

I have read a couple of comments so far about sites making it to the first page within a couple of days but I doubt that that's typical.

If it's not on page 1 within 2 weeks would you call it a failure and move on?

Follow up question for clickbump: What percentage of your sites do you expect to make page 1? Is 40% a good estimate or maybe more or less?

All of em

If I've done my research right, I've got to be confident it will go to the top. The biggest problem is relying on the GAKT numbers. Usually my misses are because GAKT grossly over estimated the traffic. In that case, I'm on page 1, but in the immortal words of William Michael Albert Broad, "I'm dancin with myself"

Seriously though, your estimate is perhaps a little high. I'd say 25% is more reasonable right out of the gate with no forced backlinking.

Since google makes the bulk of its money on adwords wouldn't putting out false traffic estimates constitute fraud? Or at least false advertising?

Clickbump, in your experience, for the sites that went to page 1 - how long did it take on average? Just a general estimate would be fine.
Thanks!

I don't believe its intentional, and I just chalk it up to errors in the reporting engine. Overall, the numbers are more accurate than not, but anyone who's been at this awhile can tell you that they've had duds resulting from numbers that were obviously overestimated. It's been pretty widely discussed here and on other discussion groups, and was one of the main triggers for the GAKT software update that occurred several months ago.

Some take as little as a couple of weeks, others a few months.

Hi Dial123,

Age is an important factor when it comes to SEO, but in my experience with the proper EMD and a few fatty backlink you can beat 5-6-8 years old sites. Of course it's a generalization, but as far as I'm concerned age is not THAT important. But you of course have to take into consideration. Hope that helps.

Hi Guys,

I'm pretty sure this was mentioned before but I couldn't find it at the moment, so sorry for repeating.

Can you someone provide some advice regarding exact domain match? I have found a pretty good niche with great potential traffic but all the .com, .net, .org exact match domains ara taken. I really want to dive into this niche, so here is the deal:

Which one would I be better off with? .info is available. Should I take that, or should I go with THEkeyword.COM if SEO is a real issue?

Thank you!

To me it dosent mean i have to use the keywiord the way i find them, i can put in dashes inbetween each word as i will not want to work out of the .com part of the keyword.

1) Develop a passion for niche research - you really have to enjoy ferreting out the next niche and you have to be able to get yourself inspired to do this over and over again. This is the most important concept you can master. If you fail at this, no amount of expertise at the remaining steps will matter. You'll be fighting against the wind.

2) Only work with exact match, top level domains - I value .com, .net and .org all EQUALLY and I've got sites ranked in the top 10 with all three extensions.

3) Seek niches that have a minimum of *1000 EXACT match local monthly searches for their keyword phrase (KWP) - use Google Adwords Keywords Tool (GAKT) for this.

4) Look for three PR- or PR-0 sites in the top ten results for the KWP that you can unseat - Once you've verified 2 and 3 above, type your search term (without quotes) into Google using the SEO4Firefox plug-in to determine if you can meet the 3 site min criteria

5) Launch a tightly focused, insanely optimized, seo savvy, css based site that showcases your niche's KWP with laser focus. One page of content with 350-1000 words and 3 site pages (about, contact and privacy) is all you need. Develop or adopt a system that allows you to repeat this rapidly.

*This number was recently lowered from 2400 to 1000 to reflect the new GAKT update as of August 2010.
Scott, what do you mean by "exact top level domain"?

Scott, Do you mean no words in front or after the actual domain term?

For instance: My keyword is "mydomain" If I can't find any exact matching free domains, I wound go for:

www. ...........mydomain.com
or
www.mydomain............com

Thanks Anjo

Yes, EMD means that your keyword + .com, .net or .org

Actually this is my problem too. I don't want to go with the .info extension as I heard that this is "weak" in terms of SEO. I might just put one hyphen in my domain and we'll see what happens.

Warning: Noob Quesiton

I've read the thread about half way through and thought I would just ask the OP. I noticed that in your "big 5" you don't mention anything about # of competing sites.

So, I currently have a niche that satisfies the "big 5", but according to the 'allintitle' and 'allinseo' search of my keyword, I have quite a bit of competition.

Should I still pull the trigger?

ADDITIONAL NOTE: You said in an earlier post that it's good for the competitor not to have the keywords in the domain name... does that include the portion after the suffix? (the page's name)?

Hi Anjo, the most important part of the URL is the beginning, so you want your primary keyword phrase in the beginning.

So, for example, if you are going to build a site around the micro niche "Tow Mirrors", then your ideal domain names would be...

towmirrors.com
towmirrors.org
towmirrors.org

Now, assuming all of those are taken, and you might be surprised if you think all the good ones are gone. hint hint

But let's assume they are all taken. Your next best bet is to add a non natural single character at the END of the URL. A character that does not constitute a word and that Google will essentially ignore, giving you the next best thing to the EMD.

In the above example, using .com as the top choice, I would register...

towmirrorsz.org
or
towmirrorv.org
etc...

If you find a niche that satisfies the 5 criteria I've outlined, then yes. That's a buy.

The number of competing sites is incredibly irrelevant. I only have to beat one of the ten on the first page. I'm not interested in going after number 20 or #2000 and knocking them off, I'm only interested to see if I can knock the guy in the ten spot off.

Otherwise, I'd just move on to the next keyword phrase or niche.

However, if you've already determined that there is an opportunity on page 1, and you have a strategy and the wherewithal to unseat one of those guys (solid research, good writing skills, competent tools, emd, etc), you aren't going to care much that there are 20k sites sitting behind you ;-)

Yes, the URL and page title are the most important SEO factors that you have control over.

What are you guys doing with sites that don't end up earning enough money to renew the domain registration?

I've thought about changing the template. adding more pictures, some youtube video's, etc and trying to sell them on flippa. But with no traffic/revenue I don't think many people will be interested in the site, and with the listing fee of $20 it's a gamble.

Might be worth it to try and sell the site somewhere that doesn't charge a listing fee.

A lot of my sites I've built backlinks and have written more then one page of content so I have trouble just letting them expire.. I guess there's nothing more you can do if it's not earning $ for the keyword(s).

One more question. Is 1000 global exact searches / $1 cpc still a profitable critera to follow?

Any responses are appreciated. My last few sites haven't been doing very well.

I would personally add the word at the end of the name instead of the start.

I agree with Craig (welcome back Craig, thanks for helping me kick this whole thing off about 1052 posts ago)

I would add that I've found that if the EMD is not available, try to add a single letter that does not change the phrase into another word group and google's emd filter appears to count it as if it were the emd.

For example, if I'm going for "blue widget" and the .org, .net and .com are taken, and assuming all 5 criteria of my original formula are met, then I'd try...

bluewidgetsz.com, bluewidgetx.com, bluewidgetv.com

@clickbump:

You've probably stated your position before, and sorry for asking again, but what's your experience with the EMD .info names?

Hi dwzemens,

Sorry, but I've never purchased a .info for testing.

Look for three PR- or PR-0 sites in the top ten results

Why is the Pr more Important then the links pointing to these sites ?

Do you check how many links the sites on page one have ?

Does it matter what the strength of the back links are that link to the sites on page one ?

The number of backlinks are important, and I use that in my current analysis if its a close call on the other criteria or if there are an unusually high number of backlinks and the page in question is my only achievable target, however, not all backlinks are equal and hence one backlink's value could vary significantly from another in the eyes of the almighty G man.

So I look to PR rating as a stronger indication of the value and strength of the page to hold its position. That's not to say that I don't have PR-0 sites outperforming higher PR sites (actually this is almost ALWAYS the case), but to my overall analysis of competition, PR is a more indicative of value than backlink count.

It doesn't work out that way in all cases though, and that's why my method stresses a holistic approach where your overall feel for the competition and the low barriers to entry can hold sway over the hard data you are presented with (ie, its an $8 yearly rent and a couple of hours work to test your assumptions).

I've never purchased an EMD for testing, so I have zero experience with them.

I've always just stayed within the boundaries of the 3 top level domains.

Since I have no first hand experience with them, I have no direct knowledge whether .info's are any better or worse than the equivalent TLD. I've heard both sides of the argument, but I've stayed largely out of that discussion - and hope to continue ;-)

But the bottom line is that I've just set that boundary for myself and never ventured beyond those waters.

So, I created a couple sites a while ago using clickbump method. One of them got on Page One, which made me really exited. However, soon after getting to Page One, I noticed another clickbump-ish site registered with the .org tld (mind is .net). The competing site ramped with like 80 backlinks and shot above me quickly. They're now the 3rd listing on PG1 and I'm below the halfway mark as the 5th listing.

What's your advice? Forget about it and just move on to make other sites? Try to get backlinks myself? I've only made about $6 in the 2 months the site has been up Is this typical?

G'day Scotty,

Wanted you to know that you have been monumental in my adsense earnings getting to 4 figures/month.

My sincere thanks to you for your laser focus and willingly sharing it. I am sure I am not on my own when I both applaud and thank you for your contribution.

You are a true Warrior Scott. All the best to you and yours,

Craig
