Hi, I got some confuse Can anyone please advise how should I promote astore + blog ? - promote blog to get some PR then pass link to astore - just write some content to blogs then place astore link into blog ?
You can promote your astore the same as any other website. Build backlinks to it, social bookmark it, blog about it, etc.
Blog posts tend to rank better, with the search engines, than astores. While astores have better luck at getting people to come back and buy again. So a combination of the 2 will probably work best, for you.
Since we are on the subject, I want to ask how do you set up aStore with a WordPress blog? I tried searching for a plugin that does that but so far no luck.
you promote and promot just chose a general subject and kill in the subcategories... and a blog mix with more than one works best because google is funny and will lower one of the two or three in ranking according to mood and if it likes your main keywords or not.... funny bot i've done research and they're very inconsistent even if you do the same backlink number and placement for them..... so best technique is a crapshoot... you throw it all you can and one will make it big for no apparent reason other than sheer luck...
In my opinion, you can creat a blog to write some review of the products, and make your astore be one link on your blogroll.
I create a blog about some product in my astore (a litle review) and put the astore codelink if someone interested to see full information
You have to promote it via SEO method (PPC is prohibited) - Submit your aStore to free website directories - Build Dofollow backlink - Write new content and link to your aStore - Banner Exchange - Social Networks ...
If you create blog with blogger.You can add a gadget share it.that's allow users to share or bookmark your website pages on their favorite social networks and social bookmarking sites.
