I had an experience with a website that has tutorials pertinent to my website that they sell. I sent them an email inquiring if they had an affiliate program. They wrote back and said they did not but they told me that to help me launch my blog if I wanted to promote a drawing they would give a free class to the winner. So far I don't have enough followers to do a drawing, but I posted about it and when I reach a certain number of followers will do the drawing.

Hi Scott, it's a little difficult to work with websites or sell products which do not offer affiliate programs. But one way could be selling it by your self. it means, if it's a very big deal and you sure that it converts well, you can buy some for yourself from that website first (automotive parts in your case), then write a review and sell them yourself. But you need to monitor the costs closely since the post and shipping (specially if you send them internationally)costs will be added to your expenses.

Best,
Ali

Next obstacle, where is domains root?

Thanks, I'll try removing /. I don't have alot of confidence when it comes to html code and editing txt files, I guess it's something we should familiarize ourselves with...

I think the problem is "/hascah should be "hascash without the /

Hmm. My dad and brother are both mechanics and typically we don't navigate to any of the auto retailer sites directly. Mainly because we work on a varity of vehicle and motorized toys. Our first stop is google and we work based on what comes up in the search results. Depending on the item sometimes we end up on ebay and sometimes another small site or even an informational site.

Now I don't know who you are targeting audience wise but what I've noticed in my dad and brother ages 50+ and early 20s respectively is that they don't like the computer systems you see in newer cars so essentially they turn to the web or another mechanic.

I took a quick peek at your site and it looks pretty good. I would definitely think more about who you are trying to sell to and what they would be looking for. When I think of a backyard mechanic I think of someone who know a thing or two but maybe not everything. Perhaps show a really cool upgrade or a common one and give a DIY or overview and then throw in the affiliate links to the parts. Think about what a person navigating to your site would want or is looking for. I think that will help you break the 1st page barrier.

Overall it is really up to you, but also consider who your competition is. It's not the big retailers and their shopping sites it is others who are providing generally sub-par information to the users. Beating them in rankings shows that you have better content than them and just need to kick it up a notch. I'd personally stick with it and see what happens.

--Just my thoughts, feel free to ignore me and go your own way. Good Luck!

Do you have a plan B? Is there something else that interests you or interest you enough to be able to learn and write about it as you go.

do you go to the mustang meetups or did you take a journey in one you could write about that, or where to get parts, page two is good so what is on page one do not give up just yet, for example the search term "ford mustang parts" has a QSR 154 monthly searches are 4058 and the traffic is 690,, so this is a good prospect and for an affiliate program vividracing.com have one, so perhaps you can see what is in demand within your mustang sector

Page two is good also. It takes some time to gain expertise and recognition within a niche. I will keep my niche and search for some good content but at the same time, I would start another niche, this time by evaluating the competition. Many people here have multiple niches. If you have difficulties in finding another niche you may start the Affiliate Bootcamp to be Affiliate for WA. I hope this helped. I wish you the best of luck.
