End of week 4 and the money has started coming in.

Posted on October 21st, 2008 by Jay

Just to recap, over the last 4 weeks I have been focusing on uploading several affiliate websites and then starting to SEO their content and submit to Google. With all the sites apart from one (http://santas-warehouse.find-my-best-price.co.uk/) having a sitemap (will explain this one is a minute), pages are being indexed in Google within a couple of days and some of the pages are starting to do well for rankings as well. I plan to leave these for another fortnight to let more data come in before I revisiting the sites to make some tweaks. In the meantime, as per the previous article on “relevant content for SEO“, I have been adding relevant content pages to a couple of the more recent sites as well as finishing off a watch price comparison site: Classic Watches Online.

Ok, a bit ago I mentioned that all sites apart from the large Christmas Price Comparison Store had sitemaps created and submitted to Google. This is because the inbuilt sitemap in Affistore cannot split sitemaps up into smaller files and Google does not accept sitemaps of more than 50,000 lines. The website in question has upwards of 200,000 items so I am going to have to let Google spider it the old fashioned way unless I figure something out. Its not a problem for this site - this one is a ’slow burner’ and I need to work on links throughout the year to get this site ready for 2009.

Anyhow, as an example of relevant content adding to your affiliate websites, take a look at these pages I have done on the new watch site - I have many more to go however these are a good start. The pages are stuffed full of relevant content on high value watch make Omega - however, the text scans well and is genuinely interesting to somone looking for more information on Omega Watches. Also look at the sub links, that expand on topics mentioned in the main Omega Page - in particular the Omega Seamaster 007 page which will hopefully pull in some page rank as well as a sale or two - got to remain an optimist.

Once this batch of sites are online I will revisit the SEO work on them and find a host of highly focused keywords and phrases and then create a second batch of SEO pages. By working like this, each site will slowly grow into a well-linked hive of information that is attactive to search engines and human visitors alike, while also being very well monetised.

Like I said at the start, this is a 2 year project and the bulk of the money making should revolve around Christmas 2009, not this year although it would be nice to pull in some cash by the end of the year. So far we have had two sales which is not bad from a standing start just over 3 weeks ago.

    Heya,

    In relation to your sitemap woes, you might want to try http://www.autositemap.com/

    I use this on a couple of sites, and whilst pages are only added to the sitemap when visitors view them, it’ll still get you round the issues you’re experiencing.

    Either that or Gsitemap creator - this is a desktop programme, but works well for larger sitemaps.

    Hugh
