What if you discovered an easy, simply way to make sure your Site Build It website was profitable, starting today? Here are 3 simple steps you can start using today... Step 1 - Start by creating your basic site structure of first and second tier pages Step 2 - Find Buying keywords for products and services, and write focused product reviews Step 3 - Use your favorite paid traffic source to test whether the keywords you have chosen convert into sales, before you take the time to do too much SEO on your review pages Here's how to test your site concept quickly using paid traffic, so you can quickly know whether your site has a chance of being profitable... Step 1 - Decide on your website's theme as discussed in the Action Guide, making sure you choose a topic that interests you and a relatively large number of other people. Look for a sub-niche that you can dominate over time if possible. Build your home page and a number of tier two pages around your major sub topics or themes, so your site looks finished when visitors arrive. Include a Privacy Policy and a Website Terms Of Use page, plus a Contact page to make it easy for people to get in touch. Step 2 - Research 'buying' keywords for products related to your niche market, in particular, look for 'review' keywords related to the main products. People who are ready to buy are quite often looking for reviews of several competing products in order to make a decision. Write impartial reviews of as many products and services as you can find, and add them as tier three pages on your website. Include a compelling summary with a call to action, a product image and at least two affiliate links to the product's sales page above the fold, because many people will simply read your summary, and click through to the merchant to order. Step 3 - Use a range of paid search methods such as Google Adwords, Yahoo Search or Ezine Advertising to drive targeted visitors inexpensively to your review pages, to see if they convert into sales. You'll want to test various elements of your page (your headline, the offer, the call to action, etc.) to see if you can increase sales. Only after you are sure a page converts into sales should you move on to doing additional Search Engine Optimization. Your optimization should include writing helpful articles about the various products in your market you are reviewing, submitting them to article directories, and linking to your review pages in your resource box. Another good source of back links is making helpful and intelligent comments on related blog posts and linking to your reviews from your Sig file. It's also a good idea to spend some time Bookmarking your reviews on Social media sites because these sites have Authority with the search engines and can help you to rank higher over time. Once you are sure your product reviews are working and people are buying products through your site, you can outsource a lot of this Social Bookmarking and SEO work to other people very inexpensively, while you focus your time on finding additional products and writing more reviews. I think you'll agree that finding out if you can make money first is better than spending a year of your life building a website that isn't profitable. I know because I've been there, and it's not something I would recommend to anyone. It's always much better to know your site has a good chance of being profitable within the first month or two, so you can move on to something else if it's not.
