We have been running our Traffic Mystic Strategy now for around 4 weeks and have been looking at a set of seven keyword phrases and all of the search phrases are ranked in the top 20 of google and yahoo.

Three of the keyword phrases are within the top 5 and have combined traffic of approx ’77129′ searches a month. This has resulted in a number of sales which has so far made me nice tidy profit.

The other keyword phrases are position 9, 12, 15, and 18 and slowly rising.

So far I have implemented the basic strategy of using authority sites to rank my Build a Niche Store and using a set of social bookmarking sites that seem to have the best ranking juice. Some of the initial bookmarking sites have been dis guarded and replaced by other sites which have performed a lot better and do seem to help the traffic from the social networking sites to convert better.

Now that we have built our base network of sites we need to move onto stage 2 and create our articles to submit to ‘ezinearticles.com’ and ‘Directorygold.com’. We need to create the article to target our keyword sets and link back to our site in a way as to ensure that the link back is made permanent and viewed as such by google. Note that we cannot link back to our sites ‘Build a Niche Store’ or ‘phpBay‘ Store direct as this will get the link devalued and removed.

That’s it for now….

Thanks

Steve

This is the first update to the ‘google de-indexing your build a niche store site in the serps‘ article post a week or two ago. 

Phase 1 of the build a niche store traffic strategy guide is complete and my site is now #1 , #2/3 and #5 (also #9/#15/#16/#18/#25) in the search engines. 2 of these are also indented listings with one being my Build a Niche Store and the other being my targeted content. So I’m happy with the results so fa, specially as my strategy is only around 15% in place.

Here is some of my organic Search placements

and another

Note that these are targetting brand names and the first placement is above the brand’s website itself and the second is only below the brands site but above the likes of wikipedia and amazon, which I think is rather cool.

i’m starting on phase 2 of the plan tonight but have phase 1 written up in note form so far so that I have the full blueprint at the end and can tweak any part that needs tweaking.

I will create a free report as well and add an opt in for this report in a few weeks time, so i know that it will be worth doing. No point sending people information if it isn’t going to work or needs to be reworked.

Well thats it for now… please post any comments or email me.

Over the past month is seems to have become apparent that google is de-indexes thousands of Build a Niche Store (BANS) stores. A strategy of many niche store owners was to simply create 90-100 sites over a 4-5 month period then create a some articles and gain some back links through squidoo and other authority sites sites. Once you had submitted your articles to ezine and other directories then socially bookmarked your bans site, articles and squidoo lenses you would gain some ranking based on your targeted niche keywords in the SERPS (google, yahoo etc). With some ranking you could generally make a few $’s a day from your sites which makes up a tidy little sum ($80-$100)  over a full month ($2000-3000) for very little work with no updates.

This all changed initially in august when google de-indexed all links from ezine and other article directories that pointed to sites with a standard BANS signature. Over the past month this has also started to happen with link backs to sites with BANS signatures. The thing is what can be done to stop your site being de-indexed???

Well, the answer is simple and is basically a single phrase ‘NEW AND REGULAR CONTENT’. The google algorithms seems to have changed and as they say ‘content is now king’ and regular new quality content will keep you in the serps. I’m not talking screen scraped or auto generated stuff and neither am I talking copied / duplicate content. We are talking fresh and unique content related to your niche store.

You must get rid of the standard BANS signature which has been in reality spammed to death in the SERPS, which is the reason why google is now clamping down.

I’m currently trying out a new strategy that involved a new type of one-way linking structure and a strategy that does allow new content to be added regularly. Initial results have been very promising as follows:

- Build a niche store created on 12th of October 2008
- Targeted niche keywords with traffic of around 25000 a month
- Created my content pages with specific links types back to by store
- Bookmarked the deep links
- Repeated my process for content once every 5 days

So far this has worked well and I have been indexes within 5 days and I now stand at number two with a indented listing within the SERPS. The site above me is a major brans with thousand of links in though I am above the likes of wikipedia and amazon. I have more to do with this strategy and have only completed around 5% of the work I need to carry out. So far due to the rankin I have also make a small pot of cash on the way so it is working well so far.

I will post updates on this strategy probablyonce every 3-4 weeks to ensure that the word carried out in that period is working and indexed in the search engines.

Well thats it for now.

Regards

Steve

This lesson will focus on a few areas, with the first being a domain name for your niche store. The domain name that you choose must NOT be a domain name that the search engines class as a spam domain. For example if you choose a domain for a golf club niche then you may want to purchase maybe a domain containing the words golf clubs and if a big enough niche brand is found then maybe for callaway golf clubs. You may think that www.callaway-golf-clubs.com is a good name and true it is very human readable BUT due to new filters introduced into the search engine algorithms this may be classed as a spam domain and you will fail to rank in the search engines for it. www.callawaygolfclubs.com is a much preferred name in the eyes of the search engines.

If you have followed the previous lessons then you should have all your accounts setup. If not then you need at LEAST your ebay account setup in order for you to make any money from the build a niche store scripts. Here is a quick link to the resources Make Money Online Resources if you have not setup your accounts.

You must also ensure that when you purchase your domain name that you set the purchase to private, so as to hide your personal details. This helps to stop the like of hackers from gaining access to your account information. Some recommended companies for domains are as follows:

• 123reg.co.uk
• godaddy.com

On the hosting side of things, you need a host that allows you to host MORE than one store. You also need a host that allows you to add new domain names that your purchase to your package for free. You also need a host that will allow you to have multiple blog running that are also attached to your store for generating additional traffic. The 100% recommended host for this is Hostgator . Remember to use the discount code from the link when you purchase your hosting as it gives you a 20% discount on the overall price. Note that 99% of people who use ‘Build A Niche Store‘ use hostgator for their hosting.

From this lesson we will start to put together a plan of action for your sites. Over the next seven days your tasks are as follows:

1) Signup for all the account shown in the previous lessons

2) Signup to hostgator for you hosting and pick a domain name of your prefered niche store

3) Buy the Build A Niche Store Scripts

4) Read the niche store manual that comes with the scripts. This outlines the basics of setting a store up.

5) Create a sample store on any niche to allow you to play with the scripts and try out different things. Note that initially it may look slightly confusing, but don’t worry in the slightest. Everyone who uses BANS (short for build a niche store) experiences this and the first store is always quite slow to build, but the second and third etc store become very easy and can be build in less than 10-15 minutes.

So guys and gals that is you task this week, so go and make a start on your new business and I’ll see you all in a few days.
