I started thinking about stopping blogging at www.clickbankbusinessguide.com Just wanted to know, what would you do in my position or what advice you can give me. Basically, the main problem is that because it's really difficult to bring on top of search engines, a make-money-online website, my blog doesn't get much traffic....Usually maximum 100 a day and it's been like that for few months. It doesn't seem to go up, it slowly goes down. I submitted my blog to many blog directories, submitted my feed to feed directories. I regularly use social networks, ping my blog, but still no BIG results. Another thing is Clickbank products reviews. I got many reviews, but again they are reviews of B2B, Money & Employment, Marketing products...So it's huge competition, and it's useless to try to target make-money keywords...It's too saturated niche. Apart from reviews, there isn't much work, that I've done. Few articles from Wikipedia, Clickbank's FAQ Library, and few tips and tricks for new bloggers. So if I leave, I won't lose anything. Most of my reviews are on Ezine Articles & Squidoo anyway. I am thinking that instead of managing one big blog with lots of reviews and other stuff, it's just easier to target specific keywords and create one blog for each product. This way the blog is much more targeted, can pull up more traffic, if targeting the right keywords and it will convert better. So basically, I will be doing the same Bum/Article Marketing, but now with many small blogs for each product, instead of one main blog. Or maybe, I will give up Bum Marketing and try again PPC with landing pages. That's my second option. But what I am thinking right now, that if there is a point of keeping Clickbank Business Guide blog. I've decided myself already, what I want to do, just want to know your opinion. Thanks for help in advance.
Patchkaa I should have thought about that before I started this blog, I would safe so much time and efforts. Thanks for your opinion.
I think you should focus more on niche blogs and squidoo lenses you would get higher rankings and make more money that way
My advice is to target a niche and get about 100-200 pages of content/affiliate linked pages. Than update about once a month or once a week and move on to a new niche. Build yourself up and eventually you have hundreds of websites. Sure its a pipedream. But my thinking is there is only so much money you can take out of a particular niche...so build up a blog of 100-200 pages and move on. There is an incredible thread about this in the CJ forum...if you go through every page there is many top IM system that is revealed...its incredible...check it out: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=733284
Re-purpose the blog for clickbank keywords, and use that to refer webmasters and other affiliate marketers to clickbank. I would then put up sites within niches you find, that would do well with a PPC campaign.
Smaller, precise niche blogs is the newer method of attack in the forex guy household. Instead of having a larger blog, with a billion different subjects in it, having a smaller niche, with several articles with relevant content will not only be better for google SERP and traffic, but for those who visit your blog, will think you are more credible, and think you have some type of "expert" status on the niche subject. My two cents Tom The Forex Guy
Good luck. Personally I will push on with my two major blogs and focus on building popularity for those, but I'll be interested in seeing how it goes for you. One of my blogs is in the IM niche, but I'm sure that if I focus on it enough I could succeed. Seriously, there's a blogspot blog ranking #1 for "make money online". That does say a lot.
