I am looking into promoting widely purchased consumer goods. I amdoing my KW research and have found that specific models ofappliances for example seem to fit the long tail pro

The problem is you are a using metrics that don't matter so much, with metrics that do matter. I outrank Amazon, in MANY cases. I am sure their "DA" is much higher.

There are certain things that we teach here for a reason, and the criteria for KW research and the use of Jaaxy (which offers data not offered anywhere else) is there for a reason.

The closer the QSR is to 0, the more likely you are to rank in Google and other search engines....in particular with a new site.

As you start to gain authority in Google and other search engines (this is based on your actual 'rankings' you are getting, not some silly data point some tool gives you), then you are going to be able to target more competitive terms.

Thanks, Kyle for the clarification. Especially the last paragraph.

You must also understand that I am both on a learning curve and an unlearning curve. It is not easy to jettison what I have been taught by successful pros in the past!

BTW did you get my PM about the training I would like to do and about offering an affiliate product?

Well explained! Take a break and come at it and surely you will get it all together.

All my servers are in the UK. If I aim to get affiliate commissions on amazon.com with US traffic, would hosting the site on a UK server be detrimental to SEO? (Before you ask,

I dont think so. SEO is base in your website.

Does location of server affect seo?

I would like to work on affiliate marketing of physical goods on amazon.com and other retail sites. What are the relative merits of each type of site, with respect to how fast

Thanks all of you for your input. I have decided to do a review/comparison site. My inspiration will come from CameraDecision and SnapSort. I like their approach and I think it can be applied to other markets than cameras.

Everything works really, it just depends on what you want to work on most.

A review site will be mostly about products and little about the guides.

A blog site is what is sort of the main line of teachings here. It's what is called an authority site with a good amount of posts on how to do stuff and what is interesting as well as some product posts to monetize it all.

Store sites has also been discussed. I believe even on a live video class: and Comparing sites are usually not about reviews but are a directory of finding the cheapest deals out there and the specs comparison. Exception are of course review sites doing some comparisons (which you could also call blogs).

Yes, review sites are the best for affiliate marketing. You are targeting a customer near the end of the of the customer life cycle and they are more likely to buy then. It will be your blog site. You be forward with people about the site an they will understand.

When you say a store site, do you mean a ecommerce store? If that is the case, then the combo of an SEO based site with ecommerce is a good one. I hope this helps you.

Both are excellent

As blogger, I like second better...

There was a time when SEO conventional wisdom told us to register domains like how-to-build-a-helicopter-in-your-basement.com. OK, that one is a bit extreme, but you saw a lot

I will lean more towards branding... Moreover, I think creating one huge website will be ideal. Also perhaps mini website may be less complicated. It all then boils down to style.

Thanks peeps. @AlexO1 thanks for pointing this out to me. I had not considered it. If I have 30 products and 30 keyword domains, when I am doing the 30th one I am starting from scratch. But if I do 30 products on one domain by the time I add the 30th product, I will have some domain authority.

I am going for the brand idea...

Hi Peter,
As you rightly point out, keywords in domains is of lesser importance these days. However, that said, my personal view is that it can't hurt to have them there too - the worst case scenario is that you get no SEO impact at all. But it certainly won't negatively impact your SEO, so I tend to still try and use them if I can. But I also don't get too hung up on it if I can't find an available match either.

As for part two of your question, sub niche sites will always perform better in long tail searches than sites that try to cover multiple keywords. It's not unheard of, but if you can really hone your niche site, then you'll see more benefit. I guess it comes down to how broad that higher level niche is. If it's really broad, then definitely break it down into smaller niche sites. If not, then you'll probably get away with having them under one single domain. Ultimately, it call comes down to competition and traffic for the niche keywords.

Cheers,

Sean

Keyword based domain names are still effective, but it also works to create a catchy brand name. People do remember the name.

When it comes to building one site or branching out, I would encourage you to focus on one big site and gets the attention of Google more quickly. It hones in your focus onto it alone. With multiple sites though, you will have plenty to write about. It will take longer for Google to notice the sites though. You will be stretching yourself thin. I hope this helps you.
