Affilorama Weekly Update 36
Apr 10th, 2011 | By Justin | Category: Affilorama Website UpdateI’m wondering if many of you are getting any value of me doing these updates. I feel like my time is so fully spent on creating content and building up my business that I don’t really put as much time into this area as I would like. Oh well perhaps in the future.
The building of the sites is still going well. My main site is now averaging 692 visitors a day. Today I’ve had about 850. Pretty soon I’ll be up to over 1,000 visitor a day on that puppy I know it. The problem is my conversion rate is crap. It’s like .008 percent or something. Oh well I’m just going to focus on getting more and more visitors to it. I’m averaging about 26% ctr on that now instead of the measley 13% I had up until I worked on improving it. I’m learning that the “right kind” of traffic is critical. I obviously need to work on that a bit.
I’ve been playing with Bookmarking Demon a lot lately. Although I like the program, it’s not easy to use. I think it’s very powerful just not that easy to use. Once I figure it out, it should be good. I hate these training videos they all have. They don’t teach me “the best way” to use their programs they just tell you what each button does. I want to watch a “here’s how I use bookmarking demon” video.
I highly recommend building authority sites. I’ve been thinking a lot lately how I want to “google proof” my business as well as have 4 different types of sites (clickbank, adsense, amazon, CPA) while maintaining the authority sytle. My goal is to eventually have 10 in each category that have 500 pages of quality content each. I’m thinking it might take me 5 years to reach that goal but in my humble opinion, authority sites are the only way to go. On my main site that has only 80 articles in it, I wrote an article two weeks ago for it and was indexed and ranked on page 2 in less than 5 minutes and I’ve been there ever since, with zero backlinks. I think I’m number 13 for it. Not too shabby with no backlinks.
Other than that I have some more content being written for my sites that I’ve been very impressed with so that’s going well.
So many tools not enough time to use them. Oh well, onward and upward…
