This is a minor strategy that will give you a major increase in traffic but it MUST be followed for a SET period of time.. It would also be prudent to track your traffic using google analytics by simply adding the javascript that google provides to your BANS Footer of your site.

You will also need a set of article to use for your content. For this I would suggest using an article spinner like ‘jet submitter’, so head over to their web site and signup for a free account. There is no cost involved and it allows you to use the free content ‘article spinner’. this can be used to create up to 100 spun articles based on your content.

The following mini strategy is part of the ‘Traffic Mystic Secrets 2.0 – Google Mystify‘ web traffic strategy  that I have beta tested on 3 of my Build a Niche Stores and it increased traffic for my new BANS sites from zero to  2000+ in just over 4 weeks. Don’t under estimate what is to come next, it yield’s exceptional results.

The first assumption I’m making is that you already have your ‘Build a Niche Store’ setup and have it optimised for keywords or at least have you main keyword/s to target.

The steps are as follows:

1) create a squidoo lens and link it back to your main site using your keyword as anchor text
2) create a hub page and link it back to your main site and your squidoo lens (using your keyword as anchor text)
3) create 3 articles (maybe take 1 and spin it) – they must contain your keyword phrase
4) submit one article to ‘ezine’ and link it to your squidoo lens via keyword anchor text
5) submit one article to www.articlecat.com and link it to your hub page via keyword anchor text
6) submit one article to www.articlemotron.com and link it to your main site via keyword anchor text

Do this over a 5 day period. carry out 1 action per day. Rinse and repeat this cycle for 3 weeks. make sure you start your cycle on the same day.. Ie.. create a squidoo on a monday then the next monday etc.

Next you must Socially bookmark each of your sites and articles with the following sites.

• Propeller.com
• Furl.net
• Digg.com
• Technorati.com
• Del.icio.us
• Stumbleupon.com
• Twitter.com

Now ping each of the sites after the content has been created and published.

Do this using http://www.feedping.com/

An example of one of my test sites I’ve used with my full strategy ranked at number 3 / 4 (indented) within 2 weeks and that was in early testing (october 2008) and it still in the same position and here is the search traffic:

Results 1 – 100 of about 4,570,000 for

I’m above wiki / amazon and all the other big guys apart from 1 major brand who has like a million links it will take longer to over take them.. and basically that is it for this part of the strategy. It seems very very simple but yields tons and tons of traffic.

Now go off and implement this strategy for your own ‘Build a Niche Store’ or ‘PHPBay‘ site and please email me with your results.

This has left us with a more defined structure for ranking and a more powerful authority link back network.

Our rankings received early on have still not been sandboxed due to our strategy and our positions are holding pretty steady and our Build a Niche Store test sites have been receiving a very constant amount of traffic which has converted well and we have been making a nice little amount of cash in the process.

The next stage of the process we have carried out is to ensure that all the top RSS sites have a feed to our site. We have initially done this through the submission to 35 of the top free rss submission sites. The problem with this is the time taken to actually do this. The first site took me around 90 minutes to do which is not practical for most people.

BUT what I now created a application to reduce the whole process to around 10 minutes. I have tested the application on one of the other sites and the reduction in speed has been fantastic in comparison. I only need to add in an auto submit option for sites that do not require a ‘captcha’ code and will do this in the next day or two.

The ‘good news’ you will be glad to hear is that I will give this away for free when I have adding in the other functionality as follows:

• Auto blog submitter
• Auto directory submitter
• A tremendous twitter application tool which i won’t mention until it is release But I think this will change the way people use twitter..

The ‘Traffic Mystic Secrets 2.0′ system now consists of the following processes:

• Create you base site modifications
• Create your content
• Set up your authority sites for your sites
• Implement your structure for the network
• Implement the social bookmarking strategy as per schedule
• Implement the RSS submissions
• Implement the blog submissions
• Create your articles for article directories
• Implement your article submission ONLY as per instructions to ensure permanent linking (this will stop google de-indexing the links)
• Additional link building strategy

All of this can be carried out within 30 days… we then leave the site to mature as we speak for around 3 – 4 weeks then ‘rinse’ and ‘repeat’ the method if we want to completely dominate our site niche. If not we simply do simple maintanence that will only take a few hours a month at most.

I will be posting additional information on all aspect of this so please add our rss feed to your ‘google reader’ to ensure you do not miss out.

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

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.

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.

Steve

Hi again. Lesson 1 covered the basics of what is needed to host a niche store and what affiliate accounts are required to ensure you get your payments. We also showed a brief overview of what affiliate marketing is. If you have not read lesson 1 then you can find it here -> BANS – Making Money Online – Lesson 1

This lesson we will cover the basic of what a niche actually is and some keyword reseach, so lets start.

A Niche market is a market that is a sub-market market of a larger market. Toys can be classed as a big market but baby plush toys are smaller niche market. Baby items are a big big market, but baby backpacks are another niche market. Here are some of a niche market:

A Wedding dress would be too general of a market, but a “brand name” wedding dress would be a niche. We could also say Cell phones are general, but Nokia Cell Phones would be classes as a niche market.

Some niche markets you may find could be classed as too small but you can still make money from home using them. We could add some different brand names to them and create a new category of items, you just have to ensure that the line of goods you choose to sell are of a similar product line.

For example…Baby Carriers would be classed as general, but you could not make a niche site/market from ‘Baby Bjorn Baby Carrier’ so you would find the brand of other baby carrier brands to add to the niche range.

Here are some tips for your first niche store!
Select a market that you know something about. If you are a music fanatic then choose music, But something that in regards to the music and not the main stream. If your into bikes be this motobikes or mountain bikes and know a lot about bikes, than select the bike market. 

Next we have a video and some reseach sites that you need in order to research what products you want to build a niche store around. We need to cover the following

• eBay Pulse
• eBay Hot Items
• mysimon.com

Here is the video I found that covers all the point I want to cover here.

What is the supply for your niche?
What we need to do before we move onto our keyword research is to identify is there is enough supply on ebay for the product of our choice. If the items available is very few then I would strongly suggest you look for a different niche.

However once we have found our niche with plenty of supply we move onto our keyword research and find out ‘keywords’ to target. I would suggest you invest in a GOOD keyword tool and personally I use and would highly recommend ‘keyword elite‘ as one of the best keyword research tools available. Keyword elite give very detailed information including how competitive a keyword is, searches and how much others are spending for paid traffic. Also in 95% of cases I do not waste too much time on  too competitive keywords

There are also lots of free tools you can also use to start you off. The better tools are as follows:

• Tool SEO
• Free Wordtracker
• google keywords

The best to initially research your keywords is to sit down and write everything you can think of that you would type into a search enigne or ebay if you were wanting to buy the product. Do not make the mistake of general keywords, put yourself in the buyer mind and see what they woudl search on when they want to BUY a product.

Finding keywords using keyword elite

Finding Keywords:

Keyword research is the most important part of the research process!!!You need to find the keywords that have a competition of less than 30000 competing pages and that is hard, but not impossible….Keywords are what your buyers type into the search engines…For example….If you are promoting baby bjorn carrier, you do not want to come up under baby blue carriers, but you want to to be on the first three pages of Google for Baby Bjorn Carrier. Preferably in the top 10. We will cover some optimisation techniques in later tutorials. To get people to click on your link you need to target particular keywords. 

Your titles need to be in the following format:

Baby Bjorn Carrier | Discount Baby Bjorn Carrier | Cheap Baby Bjorn Carrier

You use your title keyword when ranking within the search engines. This will be covered in later tutorials. We will cover how to get on the first page of google for your keyword phrases but for now you need to find the most SEARCHED on keyword to get our niche market store up and running before we market. Basically though we want minimum of 40-50 searches a day and as we grow our websites for different niches these become 400-500 hundred searches a day and further increase. This ultimately means more money then a lot more money then a lot lot more money for us for repeating our niche building process.

Here are a few more basic examples of what we need:

We get into purchasing mode….Now think of what would you type in if you are searching for a particular product? 

If it is Baby Carriers, what specific brand would you type in and what keywords keywords?   

If someone wanted to buy a humidifier… They may type in ‘can a humidifier help with allergies’?  Which humidifier is good for allergies?

if you were wanting a computer…What will people type in?  best dell computer? Dell computer vs. Intel., cheap dell computer, discounted dell computer, are dell computer any good, which is better dell computer or intel computer. etc…

Now check the competition? do you have less than 50000 competing websites? The lower the better

Get a list of 10 keyword phrases.

if you are unsure of a product to choose then ALWAYS choose the products with a higher saleable value as this gives you extra money for each sale.

Another good research resource to check out is google trends. They give a trend for the product searches during the year. ie. if you are selling barbies then the trend would show low sales between september-april with an upturn during the spring and summer.

Well thats it for this lesson, so go and act now on the information and start making money from home today

The Build a niche store scripts can be purchased here

What is a niche store?

This may be your first question followed by “How can I make money from a niche store?” Well I will answer both of these questions now.

A Build niche store or BANS for short consist of a set of PHP scripts that connect dynamically to EBay though the EBay API. You site has a MySQL database that stores all your shop configuration details and data. So why would you want to choose to host a Build a Niche Store Site?

BANS is a excellent engine for driving focused online customers to your web site to buy goods. Goods by the way that you do not stock or provide customer service for, but get paid commission on if they sell within eBay. A win.. win.. Situation I call it.

So what are the features of Build a niche store?

1) It is incredibly easy to build store after store and this can be achieved very very quickly after the steps involved have been learnt through the building of your very first store.

2) You have an absolutely huge base of products to choose from. EBay is the largest marketplace in the world. You can choose even choose which country to target.

3) The products displayed are dynamically updated 24 hours a day

4) The costs of running a build niche store is minimal and you can run 20 or even 30 stores at the same time in the same hosting space.

You can start up your very own BANS store for less than 200 dollars and have your store up and fully running within an hour. This will create your base store from which you can upload a banner and change various colours to suit the products that you have targeted. The base store comes with templates but additional themed templates can also be purchased. You must understand that the store you can create within an hour IS a fully functioning store that people can purchase goods through and you will get paid for those purchases.

You store itself can target any niche that you decide to promote, you can even target top eBay sellers specifically if you wish. If you don’t know which niche to target you can always go to eBay and check the most searched items (http://pulse.ebay.com) and choose a category with a particular niche audience. Imagine the number of niches available? Well there are thousand upon thousand of them making your choice pretty infinite.

What are the start up costs?

We need the following:

- Build niche store scripts

- BANS compatible hosting service that allows multiple stores to be hosted

- Domain name

Build a niche store scripts

The build a niche store script themselves cost $97 and this includes free support and updates for ever!! The licence also allows you to create as many stores as you want for yourself on as many domains as you own.

BANS Hosting

Hosting can cost as little as $8 a month if purchased for a year. You could use free hosting if you wish but if you’re serious about making an online business that will grow then I would personally NOT go with free hosting. I will recommend a hosting company at the end of this article which I have used to over 2 years without a single problem and the support they provide is top rate.

Domain Name

This can be purchased with your hosting or if you already have a domain it can be transferred in (change you domain name servers to point to the new web space).

So the important question!! How much money can I expect to make?

At the end of the day it’s all down to money and how much can be made from your stores. Currently I have around 14 stores which bring in an average of $200 a day at present. In the next year I hope to extend this to 30 stores which will increase this amount. The thing to remember here though is that once the store has been created then we do not need to keep modifying that store. It is in effect just generating money from that point and we are off to create a new store to increase that income.

So go out do some research on the type of store you want to do, buy a build niche store licence and hosting then start making some serious money. I will be creating some additional posts on traffic generation to your bans store and how to get this for free, so make sure you bookmark us or subscribe to our RSS feeds.
