Where Do You Post Your Best Products

Advanced Product Review Training

This post is for any of you who are using product reviews as one of your main business strategies, so when I first started in this business almost 20 years ago you could write product reviews and rank on the search engines. As the years have gone by the search engines now will often rank your product reviews much lower, and more and more they are now seeing them as being spammy. So this post is going to help you earn the most money from your product reviews, and I learned this from many of the big name bloggers years ago.

Let's Talk About Your Blog Roll

It is a fact, once your product review ends up on your second page you and your visitors will often forget about them. Very few website visitors will view your second page of posts, you will find the majority of people will scan your first page and if nothing catches their interest that will be the end of it. How many of you actually use older product reviews as internal links, you will find most bloggers will seldom use a product review as an internal in more than a handful of their blog posts. Most of the time they will use a more recent product review, and this really is a waste of all the work you put into all your product reviews. So how can we share our best reviews that brought us sales when they were relatively new, and there is a way that I am going to share with you that my mentors shared with me long ago.

It's All About Your Menu

Your menu is where you should be posting your best product reviews to be receiving steady sales, you will be amazed how many more of your visitors will check out your menu over your blog posts. I have a pop-up subscriber form, but you know my subscriber form on my menu provides me most of my subscribers not my pop-up form. So my point is that people do check out your menu, and I notice many of your menus are practically bare. So let's pretend you found this product you really have a great feeling it is going to bring you steady sales, and you post it in let's say 5 or 6 new posts with a few sales from each post. Now the majority of people who write reviews as their main strategy will do this just until they write their next review, so this review that was bringing you steady sales kind of got lost when you wrote some new reviews. The majority of people go hog wild writing reviews once they start receiving sales, but often they are losing out on sales not promoting their best product reviews regularly. Now how can we keep our best reviews active on our website, and if you are thinking adding them to your menu you are one step ahead of me.

How Can We Promote Our Best Products On Our Menu

Of course there is the way the majority of new bloggers might do this, and that is they add their post to their menu as a page. There is nothing wrong going with this strategy, and it is the way many bloggers used to do it in the old days. There is another way that saves you from posting your product reviews that often don't get ranked on the search engines anyway, and the strategy my mentors taught me was to create product reviews as menu pages instead of blog posts. Menu pages can also, and should be used as internal links for ranking. The majority of bloggers are taught by training programs to do it the old fashion method, but my mentors taught me it is more effective to create product reviews as menu pages rather than blog posts. Now you are not going to do this for every product review, you want to do this with products that you know for sure you want to be available for your visitors regularly.

Scam Product Reviews

You will for sure want to post your scam products as a blog post, you would not benefit anything by adding these to your menu. The biggest problem today is the search engines are actually working against bloggers who are writing product reviews, so if you are experiencing low ranking from your product reviews by wasting your time with your best products as a blog post less people are going to see it. The only way around this is if you really make it a habit to check all your product reviews as you write your new blog posts, but once you have pages and pages of blog posts this really is going to take so much of your time. So this is the main reason your best products end up lost in your blog roll, you can think this over and consider if this sounds logical to you?

Best Product Reviews

Most of us will find products sooner or later within our niche we just know we want to promote regularly to our visitors, so these are the ones you want to create as menu pages or you can create them as blog posts and then add them to your menu. This is time-consuming and more work for you, but maybe you want to test out the product in some blog posts before adding it to your menu, and if so this is a way you can accomplish that. As for me, I just go with my heart and instincts when I find a product I want to add to my menu as a page. Since I clean up my website usually at the least twice per year, I can delete any of these pages that did not perform the way I thought they would during my clean up. You really should clean up your website a few times per year, you will find you will add a lot of things on your website that just didn't work out the way you thought or you want a new-look for your visitors.

I am always completely honest with you guys n gals in all my posts, and to be honest with you right now once I started using internal links and stopped using affiliate links my website ranking, traffic, and sales really started to turn around. It used to be people would argue that affiliate links don't hurt your ranking, but the search engines today are really cracking down on spammy websites compared to the old days. I am receiving steady sales pretty much every day, and new subscribers weekly just by using my menu instead of affiliate links. I don't know what Kyle is teaching you about internal links and external links, but I can tell you those are the link types you want to be inserting into your blog posts instead of affiliate links. Once in a while I will insert an affiliate link in a blog post, but the majority of my blog posts are affiliate link free. I still let my readers know I receive a commission from any of their purchases, I do share in some of my blog posts from time to time that my products and services on my menu or in my online store are affiliate links.

Now It's Up To You To Decide

I have provided you the information and the advanced product review strategy my mentors shared with me, and you will have to decide what you want to do. Commonsense tells you if you are publishing blog posts with product reviews with affiliate links it is going to hurt your ranking, but if you are writing a product review about one product and sneaking in one affiliate link it will not hurt your ranking much at all. The more products you are reviewing in one blog post is going to hurt your ranking more, so for every product you will be inserting at least one affiliate link, and maybe more.
