I had received few questions that I thought I should respond to on my blog, so if others are not clear on it to, they can learn as well.  These questions are:

When should you submit the site to google, yahoo, and msn?

How to Track the Clicks you Have?

What is RSS feed?

Can you Make serious money with Bans?

What are backlinks?

So let me answer each question as to what I do.  I normally have at least two articles in my content pages, and full SEO optimization (to the best of my abilities) before I submit to google, yahoo or msn.

I always have e-bay banner (for new sign ups) that I post as my ad on the site, this is to track impressions.  I use my hosting account to track the visitors, and clicks with eBay partnership are tracked by their system.

RSS feed is kind of like news flash.  There is a good thread in Wealthy Affiliate forum that explains about it, I believe in General Marketing section.  For example, if you have a blog, similar content to your store, you will update your blog each day or week (totally up to you), if you have rss feed on your site, it helps you keep your sites fresh, but you should still change some wording and add more content at least once a week or maybe once a month. (Once a week is a better!)

Can you make serious money with eBay Affiliate niche stores? Depends what your serious money is.  You see, when I started and that was in Feb. 2008, I set some goals for my self.  I wanted each store to bring in $200/ month and that means 10 stores, $2000/ month.  20 Stores $4000/month. Currently two of my stores are over 200 per month, and two are steadily climbing up.  My goal is a little of the course due to the family situation, but I have 7 sites, 4 set up and heavily promoted, 3 new one’s in the working stages of promotions.  I don’t promote only eBay products, so I have steady income of around 2K per month at this time.  (remember I started in Nov. 2007 and had zero tech experience!) Yes you can make serious money of Build a Niche Stores, but once you learn how this is done, don’t put all your eggs in one basket.  I never do as I had bad experience with it in the past.  I built a business that went down the drain with Real Estate market going down.   I don’t promote what I don’t believe in and the only thing in make money from home I do is this build a niche store training, this is because I use it and I am building my business.  I wanted strong foundation so my business does not cripple ever again.

Backlinks are when you have your articles that you post on different sites such as ezine, associatecontent, goarticles, usfreeads etc.  When ever you link back to your site, you get kind of like a point from Google.  It helps you rank higher for your keywords.  Your links back to your site should always include your main keywords: for example, click here to read more about discounted painted pictures (for example purposes). You can link back from blogs, (if they let you), forums, etc…Keep in mind that if your site is about baby toys, and you link back from car dealership, it does not help, but if you are linking from toddler toys it helps.  It needs to be relevant.

I hope this explains some of the questions in regards to eBay Affiliate Niche Stores and how to get it to rank high in the search engines.

Hi there…I am getting close to connecting all the dot’s for you. So let’s make sure we are on the right track. The first is to get website up, hosted and designed. Second is to optimize website and add content to it. Third is to write articles to promote your site.
Fourth is to put up a blog. Each of these have to start with basics! Research of your niche
market and research of your keywords. If you don’t do any of this, the people won’t be able to find you! This is a simple fact no matter how hard you try to ignore it.

What are your articles about?  In your articles you are giving the information to people why that is helpful to them. In order for your articles to help you, you need to promote them! And this should be easy, since they are helping people. Don’t write sales letters. Just good quality info, optimized for your keywords.

Some of the places you can promote your articles are http://answers.yahoo.com/ http://yedda.com. The accounts are free, and you can promote your articles there. Get yourself familiar with these sites and if there are any unanswered questions you may want to test your skills at answering few questions. The goal is to answer questions honestly (in your niche market) to help people and if your article can help them lead them to your article or website.

I hope this helps. and I will be posting some final connect the dot’s posts soon. I do hope that you are following me on this, and if something is not clear feel free to ask.

I promise I will connect all the dots for you. There are all these steps you need to take, including making a blog about your sites. Just remember, try to stay with in the same niche so this way it is easier for you to promote.

When you build a site you have to promote it, but you have to do something else, you need to have a blog up and have it rank high with search engines. Blog will serve as your promotion as well. So besides the website, you have to advertise your blog. If you rank your blog high, that helps your site a lot too not just in rankings but also in getting more traffic.
Just remember, the blogs are actually social network sites, so you really do not want to be too commercial about this. It is not like usfreeads. This is more like giving people the information on something they need!

If your niche is in Family products, than you know you are talking to the parents. Why not make a lens (or a blog) with the top 10 popular products both parents and kids love?

Here is the lesson 6.

I like squidoo because they share a little profit of their adsense. However, if you just want to have one blog, you can use wordpress.com or you can use wordpress.org to self host it (I prefer the second) It is all free. Actually this website is a wordpress blog. I have a lot of squidoo lenses as well. Because each link counts. Now you know I am not a techy person, and there is still a lot I don’t know on the technology side, but once you build a website once, or a blog once, you learn the basics, basics are enough to make you money.

O.k. Enjoy the lesson 6 learning how to build a squidoo lens a we will move on to get you a little more info on another way to use a squidoo.
