I signed up for del.icio.us I guess I do not understand how these help us.. What am I suppose to be doing with these sites? Thanks Chad
The confusion is understandable. The basic idea is that these social bookmarking sites have very high PR in Google. So, if you post a link back to your store (more specifically, a keyword rich article in your store), this will be a very strong back-link. Do this once, no big impact. But do this at 20 different social bookmarking sites, now you have 20 back-links. Additionally, most bookmarking sites allow you to set the tags and some allow a short write-up. This helps the content relevance of the back-links... If you are very organized around your keywords, and have done your research, this approach will put your article in your store on the first page of Google. Do 5 or 6 articles and repeat the process, you will own that first page. This translates into traffic and income... Hope this helps. BTW: I see some traffic coming in from golfclubs.dothanclassifiedads.com and cellphone.dothanclassifiedads.com. Good work.
Yeah I am getting some Search Engine to Cellphones and the GolfClubs is working its way up but is still new, but the Cellphone one has dropped off the last few days so im trying to get some new fresh backlinks besides the ones I already have.. Ill work on the bookmarking thing..
Surprisingly, I have had a lot of directories that have accepted my site. I hate that my niche is so competitive but I know that it will payoff sooner or later.
Many thanks.. Unfortunately, the official beta-tester offer if closed. We had a very successful 7 week beta test (as you can tell from the thread) with 25 testers. The major bugs are gone (about 100 of them). There are currently two options for getting a discounted IncomeStore. 1) 50% off by purchasing through the web site. This deal will end with the launch of v1.0 2) Contact me directly to work out a deal. I'm offering discounts in return for blog posts, link-building and other promotional activities. Thx
Nice new WYSIWYG in the write article section. I write an article a day by habit to drive organic traffic. This is much nicer than before. When did that come out?
Yeah. It was much needed and we were getting request from the higher volume article writers for something more friendly. v0.61 went out today. The most notable feature is the enhanced article editor... More to come folks..
I've sold 15 items within the past 2 days with a 10% conversion rate (Amazon). Looks like people are finding what they are looking for on mapinfo.org. Check your analytics accounts guys, and it will help you as far as your article writing is concerned.
I've always found the conversion to be really high at Amazon for Compare4.us. And this makes sense. By the time someone clicks out to Amazon, they've already hit the "Buy Now" button, so you know their intent is there. Great work!
Purdue, is there anyway we can have an option where it lists CJ Products before Amazon or is this not possible. The reason being is for most of the products on one of my sites pay better from CJ than if they buy the same product at Amazon and I have a feeling since Amazon is usually the first products listed they are always going to click on theres first.. I know this is probably complicated since not everyone would want there CJ products listed first or more often for that matter.. Just a thought, let me know what you think..
This is an excellent suggestion. I believe it's something we can do for you. Can you put it in as a support ticket and we'll discuss the technical issues and get back to you? Thx
Thanks Purdue, Ill open a ticket on it.. Dragn, The Beta testing is over with but you can still go to any of our sites and join and your own website aswell..
So it's been 2 weeks now that my store has been up and I've already had 8 visitors from Google. Not bad at all!
