Hi, i've created a Digital Camera i hope will like it. http://www.webbestdigitalcameras.com Appreciate
Hey iMarin, The site looks pretty clean. I'm impressed. Are you using Amazon's API to display those products?
Actually,i bought this "idea" i signed in a website who gave me the opportunity to choose what webstore i would like to choose there are niche website for sale and Amazon sores, so you can choose different stores digitl cameras books ipods everything you can buy on amazon.
This is the problem is kinda difficult because this is an RSS updated wesite so i can't even have a sitemap to at least submit it to google webmasters so i guess the last thing to do is to drive traffic (buy traffic) or to submit links to websites who have a great PR??or can you please tell me another possible way ?? to have a good SEO/
I like the site, the best thing to do is to buy traffic via ppc. this will be the best way to make money from it. I would also try to add something free on you site to get emails. (such as a free e-book on how to deside which camera is best for your needs) just something to get emails so you can use the emails and send your subscribers something every month for free along with some links to your store and other products you may be selling
Oh, thank you safetyman it's important things you are telling me out there thank you. When you say buy traffic by ppc, do you mean AdWords or something like that?
iMarin, Your site looks very nice and I agree with safety man in regard to driving traffic via PPC. With your nice website, you can sell your product easily via PPC.
Your site is looking nice but the it's a lil bit wider. It doesn't fit my screen. The layout is also not perfect. Some item overlap with the others. FYI, I use google chrome.
Actually I use AOM - Associate O Matic, i saw that they have GREAT websites tempaltes so you buy the website and then you choose products and modern design, it's not bag and if you can get a go SEO and PR this will bring you big buck i guess!and I hope it is working like this!
The site looks impressive but I am not sure of the practicality of it. Like you said, there is really no way to drive traffic to it. PPC is tough because the commissions on amazon are not all that great and you find that in many cases, your costs will be greater than your returns. I have many digital camera websites but I do not set them up as stores. my goal has always been to get targeted traffic. I am not trying to down your site, it just looks like it is more geared toward shoppers instead of buyers. Also, with 400 pages and multiple products on each page, there is a lot there to keep the customer on your site instead of pushing them over onto Amazon. You won't make any money unless you get them over onto amazon. You picked a great niche - I do real well with digital cameras. the buyer is savvy enough to buy over the internet and most of them actually have enough money to buy. Let me ask you a question, (and this is what you need to ask yourself when building a site) If someone wants a digital camera and they landed on your site, do you really think that they would be inspired to buy from your site? On the first page of your digital camera store site (that should be specializing in digital camera) there are 10 products and only 2 of them are digital cameras. You have 8 accessories on the front page. What is the most popular digital camera that is being sold today? I will give you a hint... it is not listed on your front page. here is my basic method: I don't want the person who types "digital camera" in a search engine to find my site. There are too many browsers. I want someone who types "red nikon coolpix L20" or "buy nikon coolpix L20" into a search engine. The reason that I do not have sites like yours is that I want to find someone who is looking for something specific and then bridge them over to Amazon. They can shop around all they want once they get there because I will earn commission no matter what they buy. Secondly if I have a Nikon digital camera site, I can have one page for each camera and then I can SEO the heck out of each of them. Also I can give a good review - something that is not on Amazon. I am not trying to crap on your site. You have actually chosen one of the best niches so good job there. You just need to think you business model through. For your site, you are going to need a lot of SEO on a very generic search term. It is not impossible but it is going to be tough to make sales. What am I going to sell - digital cameras how am I going to sell it - website/Amazon who is going to find my site - people looking for a digital camera - you see that is just too broad (it would be better if it was "people looking for Olympus digital cameras" and even better if it was "people looking for Olympus digital cameras that cost between one and two hundred dollars" and the best if it is people looking for "this specific olymus digital camera model".) How will I market my site - the answer to this for your site is "you really can't" how will I get them to part with their money - the real answer is that you have to give them something more than they get when they visit Amazon or the manufacturer's website. You only give information that is already available on Amazon. You have to feed them some reassuring information, pat them on the back and let them know that they have found the best product at the best deal while you are slipping you hand into their back pocket and taking their wallet. There is no way for your site to do that. I know I have said it before, but you need to treat EACH Amazon product like it is it's own affiliate program. I know there are people that disagree with me and we can agree to disagree, but if you are just breaking in to Amazon this is usually the route you should take, unless you already have a site that is generating traffic and you are just going to throw some related Amazon products on it - just' cuz. So, to answer you question, the site looks great and professional. I just don't know what you can do with it. Before my father passed away, our Amazon sites were up to over $25,000 per month in commissions - most people didn't believe it and it is a big number to swallow and with most scammers out there I can understand it. It is still doing well but without him I don't think that I can keep it at that level. But he and I worked at least 12 hours a day, 6 days a week (with vacations and stuff, we didn't work all the time) so you do the math, we made just almost $300K from Amazon but we worked a total of about 7200 hours between us that year. So in reality, we were working for around $40.00 an hour. Not bad, but $40 and hour sounds a lot less glamorous than $300K. To make it big in amazon, takes a lot of time and effort and a good strategy.
Oh, Damons thank you for your review it's great,actually I totally agree with you and I know it takes a lot of time and maybe money to develop a website and even more if it's an e-commerce, I agree with everything you told me. For sure I don't have enough time to spend advertising creating links and reviews to my Amazon Stores and I know it's hard, because nothing is easy when it's about money and profit. So I don't know what I'll do with this website in the future but I guess it will take months and years to develop it to a correct level and make money on it, so thank you again for your review I appreciate.
I think your site is not listed on google, aom script is not google friendly, the layout looks good anyway, but how can you get a traffic??? @damonJ you have a great story and great guide damon... I like it..
