it is the Friday Q&A I'm going to talk
about Amazon affiliate marketing and
project management and a lot of people
sent in questions so that's awesome I
see we have a handful of people in the
house already give me a shout if you
haven't already and I say we have aim
Famicom Markus Patrick its Patrick's
first live stream welcome special day
for Patrick and then we have Josh Rose
Paul hi hi we have Jaron and success and
Wesley David's on also good to see on
here David so a bunch of questions were
sent in there's a whole slew of them in
the description so you could check them
out and basically I'm gonna try and get
to those pretty quick and Jaron says we
should chat about your site by the way
Jaron is journey and Wesley they're
famous that were on the channel success
interviews there's a link in the
description for that and then we have
John also one of these success stories
Graham Philip John and Michael I feel
feel better today so someone sent an
email said I look tired the last the
last livestream which was true here in
Bozeman its Bozeman Beer Week and I have
a lot of friends who work at breweries
and then I'm I'm good friends with the
two founders of the beer week it's the
second year so there's a lot of
activities going on I participated in a
couple so on Sunday this past Sunday I
was in the beer Olympics so my event was
the like tug-of-war and I lost I fell
off the bucket there's a video I'm gonna
try and get that out as a vlog before
too long and then this is very exciting
on Wednesday I combined two things that
I like the beer mile now was on a team
so there was a relay but
that event consists about chugging a
one laps of 400 meters or so
quarter-mile we came in third my team
came in third and it was amazing
it seemed it's just as bad as you think
it is now the crazy thing is there was a
you know individual event as well the
guy who won that he ran his beer mile in
five minutes and 33 seconds so he
chugged four beers like one each lap and
then ran and he finished in faster than
I can run a mile so I'm not sure if my
life depended on it if I could run a
mile that fast even without drinking the
beers in fact just drinking four beers
in five minutes would be pretty tough
so anyway everyone think about that and
indeed I I was tired the other day I'm
feeling a little bit better today
so all right let's see here
cool we have Duke on what's up one of
the kind moderators and jaren yeah we'll
I'll send you an e-mail or you could
send me one and just give me the bullet
points we could chat again see if I
could help you or anything like that all
right I'm gonna get to some of the
questions because there are there are
quite a few I'm gonna point out a couple
links so if you want to submit questions
like if you're watching the replay later
you can submit questions via the bitly
link there and it's seems to be working
pretty well helps me organize a little
bit ahead of time if you're not on the
email list you could sign up for them
and or sign up for the email list you
get a bunch of goodies these success
stories those are very cool do check
them out some of them are long so you
know you know you may not be able to
watch all of them in one sitting but
find a playlist bookmark it
whatever you need to do and go back and
watch like there's cool nuggets of
information from each person couple of
affiliate links I need to point out so
you have a niche site project.com slash
site ground I use site gram for my
hosting and then some rush I enjoy it as
an SEO tool
now let's see I think I said hello to
everyone Graham and Phil up and John
Diane said I says you're so glad you
found the channel
I'm glad as well and mama needs her wine
sounds good yeah I mean I drink anything
really and Bob's on okay so I'm gonna
get to some of the questions because
there are just so many of them so John
sent in a question and it says I asked
before about improving content and
adding content in hopes of increasing
rankings should you only choose posts
that are on the lower first lower part
of the first page of the SERPs are also
in the second that is totally up to you
John so I would mainly focus on like the
stuff that's on page one but here's the
deal you could you can do I mean you
could add content to all of your pages
just prioritize it based on like where
it's ranked so I would aim for the stuff
that's ranked higher first and then go
down from there and I mean the thing is
I if you just focus on stuff that's on
page one that'll probably take you
plenty of time anyway
so if you just focus on that that'll be
fine so I hope that helps clarify like
how to focus but it's really up to you I
mean if you wanted to you could put add
content to every single one of your
posts and the the reason I'm
prioritizing the higher ranking stuff is
like you know Google likes that already
all right next question from Danielle
can we outrank big sites like tech
trader there's a keyword sample like
best product for some kind of action the
kgr is very low but big sites are
ranking can we outrank them by targeting
the full keyword in title Meta
Description in URL the answers
maybe it depends it depends on more
factors than I can even think of but
basically it might work there's no harm
in publishing something and then see how
it does I would say if it's if they are
just huge sites then you may need to be
like more specific and go after like a
deeper longtail but if you publish
something and you know it's a kgr term
and it looks good
you may not rank for that term where
these other sites are doing so well but
you may be able to rank for some long
tails that you're that are just
incidental within your article and
that's fine too
it's not bad to have so I would say give
it a shot but it could be tough to
actually outrank such a big site's next
could you provide some advanced
commentary on the kgr that includes
other metrics to check so for example
even if a keyword only has ten all-in
titles and the those ten pages might be
high authority and that's hard to beat
do I check for this sort of thing that's
from Curtis by the way if you send in
your questions I try and give you a
shout out first names only I think it is
actually a little helpful so here is the
thing I do have some advanced commentary
it is more sort of like in a test face
so I'm still gathering data the like the
testing cycle is sort of long for this
sort of thing and the other part is like
the kgr like advanced kgr stuff that's
more for like the five figure niche site
course but what I can tell you is if
your site's older then you could be
relaxed on the on the formula and you
could probably rank for it however what
Curtis is really asking is are there
other metrics to check for yeah you
could do like deep competition analysis
you could look at the number of
backlinks the other pages have the
amount of content that they have so both
on-page and off-page
CEO but in general I don't look too hard
at the other metrics I would potentially
take a look at you know information that
you can get from like aah refs ok I'll
do you one more question from the list
and then I'll hop over I see the chat
has some more action happening so any
tips on organizing the menu on a website
the person's John says I fear I've
picked a niche that's too extensive and
you're unsure for the menu to help
people navigate the site keep it simple
I would put very few things in the menu
probably most people are just going to
like land on your site and then go on
like that one page that they're looking
for and then they'll bounce like they'll
go somewhere else very few people are
going to navigate your site so less is
more you don't want to have it
complicated so less is more that's my
advice on that
I'm not a user interface person at all
ok polina says you're using the caves
yar and it worked well for you you have
a site with 18 articles and you had 500
people daily on your site besides nine
months off you've never practiced any
black or gray hat SEO do I have any idea
oh sorry
if you have any idea what I should do or
what this could be please give me advice
I don't know exactly what that is I'll
ask a couple quick questions actually in
polina send me an email please I've
heard a couple people say that they've
seen traffic drop and I think there may
be some algorithm testing going on so if
you could like give me information is
was it a new domain did you send any
backlinks at all are there any backlinks
the interesting thing is you haven't
done any gray hat
so yeah let me know what kind of links
you have was it a 301 redirect in any
fashion or anything like that you don't
have much in the way of content on your
site like 18 articles is not that many
I'm not sure however what I would say is
because you don't know what it is you
like you probably just have to wait like
if it's an SEO like I'm sorry if it's an
algorithm testing situation like it may
just recover in a couple weeks
right or it may you know they may be
testing it on certain pieces of the you
know database on the internet or
whatever so I am Not sure in Paul P says
the same thing same problem since the
beginning of May okay
interesting interesting okay and Matthew
sent in a question which I put in here
so if you sent in the question you don't
have to ask it in the chat just you I
have it on the list so you don't have to
ask it just a note okay
but basically Matthew is asking if he
could put Amazon links in the YouTube
video yeah you can you need to say that
it's an affiliate link and usually
there's a like or there is a checkbox in
your YouTube settings for video and you
can say yes this is a sponsored or
affiliate type piece of content John
says well I be doing a demo on age rafts
for my most valuable methods maybe I
might be doing that I know I'm actually
there there's a little bit in
five-figure niche site and I'll probably
be beefing that up now that age refs has
like way more functionality alright just
says you're from Nigerian your first
time on awesome great
all right and I'm gonna go through a
couple more live questions here see Vic
says you're here to update me about the
expired domain and said that it's not
ranking and it might be in this inbox
well it turned out there were too many
affiliate links how do you recommend a
thousand words with four products like
how many affiliate links okay um I would
say how many affiliate links for a
thousand words
I'd put like four or five in there
something like that and yeah see dick
seen this actually this is an
interesting point so here's one of the
the small flaws with the QA stuff that
we have here so when someone says hey I
have a site and it's not ranking this
one happened to be an expired domain but
it could really be anything right you
can say hey it's not ranking I'm doing X
Y & Z and you may have some suspicion on
what's what the issue is but you know in
this format it's basically impossible
for me to like audit or troubleshoot
someone's site so I do my best but when
you when you take a look it's like Oh
most of the time not always but most of
the time it's some mistake that was made
that you know there's like ten things
you should check out one of them is like
you know if you have way too many
affiliate links it could be harming your
site so yeah less is more as far as
affiliate links as well see the good
good job figuring that out by the way
Phillips says image alt tags if your
article is about tire irons is it bad to
tag all the images with that specific
thing is it keyword stuffing I haven't
done that exactly but if you I would say
don't do that right be a little bit more
like elegant and accurate with what
you're describing so if you have any
suspicions actually in both of these
cases right
have any suspicions that you're like hey
is this too many affiliate links the
answer is yes and if you're thinking hey
is this keyword stuffing the answer is
yes so be a little bit more deliberate
with what you're doing I would say
partial match alt text is a good thing
to do super says what's my number one
tip for new affiliate marketers
regarding a new website be patient
alright and Duke says there was a core
update at that time try using more h2
and h3 headings keywords in the last
hundred words add a privacy policy
correlation studies have shown this has
done some of it good to know hey Duke
can you shoot me an email please with
the reference for those changes I have a
friend who's experiencing some issues so
just curious to see if there's
correlation on his sites - and David
adding fuel to the fire says you've seen
one of your old sites shoot up in the
past couple weeks for rankings and
traffic interesting yeah I was gonna say
I have a site that like it may be
nothing but I like traffic looks like
it's up like 2 to 3 percent or something
over the past week alright and Matthew
says congratulations alright so matt
says you have a site that made thirteen
hundred and a month and you'd send me
details after you hit a thousand so yes
ended this week and it'll be really cool
to catch up
LLC does Google have a problem with
links from press releases I don't think
so not that I know of
overdose says hi from Spain what's up if
you launch a brand new site does that
help to have an already existing domain
name not a new one yes in Matthew is
asking about what I'm drinking yeah good
good question here it is actually so
little it was hard to see it but right
now since I've been chugging it this is
green tea it's uh what is it gunpowder
green tea with yerba Mattei and then I
put a little half-and-half in there just
because I like it so and then I have the
remaining coffee on deck for when I
drink this so let's see
Bynum says do I mainly use context links
and paragraphs yes Authority aide says
can I say something about micro niche
websites is it dead now or still works I
don't know if I would say I would
recommend don't go in for micro stuff so
aim a little higher I think it could
probably still work to be honest with
you but it probably takes close to the
same amount of work as doing something a
little bit more exciting so just do
something more exciting but your
question is can it still work
probably but yeah it's kind of a waste
of time all right green engineer says do
I think Google others suggest kgr
converts well yes yeah that that is one
of the main sources of it is like the
most manual ray like way like the kgr is
slow just in general and then the other
part is like the autosuggest
is one of the slower ways to do it
versus like you know
it feels better to go to some rush pull
a report of 10000 keywords and start
sorting through so you have a huge list
to go through but you spend all your
time with data manipulation however the
autosuggest stuff seems to convert
really well from a sales perspective and
then from like a traffic and ranking
perspective it seems to work really well
- Patrick says you're starting to hire
writers and freelancers you're hoping I
could provide some info and project
management for noobs
cool the main thing is to make sure
people know what they're working on and
when it's due so I think a lot of
especially if you're just hiring some
freelancers like if you're really clear
about when things are due you'll be
better off if they miss deadlines and
stuff then you know you know maybe you
should fire them but yeah basically
that's that's the main thing
start small I would say start small with
like as few people as you can and slowly
add more people I have a long blog post
and a couple other videos where I go
over like building a team so I would say
if Patrick if you're not on or yeah if
you're not on the email list go sign up
but on the niche site project comm I
have added a search bar now in the
sidebar so you can search for stuff so
if you if you search for like some of
your questions you should find some
better info okay
hop back to the other questions here
that were sent in to try and answer them
fast do I have any issues with Google
PageSpeed score and GT metric score when
using Amazon Amazon image links they're
bringing your score down drastically I
don't I don't really pay attention too
much and Matt says you're not testing
the speed of the homepage that's very
fast but the pages of individual posts
so I would imagine yeah that could be an
issue just because it has to go fetch
the the content and there are some
configuration settings that are you know
associated with those kind of those kind
of links and stuff you can't change so
basically I would say maybe do fewer
links like that fewer image links to
help that but I haven't checked it
extensively Matt further asks do I
purchase and activate SSL Certificates
the answer is yes Matt is saying you
know you've heard it could help with
Google rankings even though it's not an
e-commerce site and what are my thoughts
yeah I don't think it's gonna make a
difference in rankings very much to be
honest with you for like three years
people have been saying hey like your
site's gonna be flagged in a second rank
as well like Google's gonna say don't go
to this site if you're not ecommerce and
you're not like gathering information
then usually it's not an issue so but
that said SSL certificates are basically
free right now with like any hosting so
I would say you can you know just just
do it don't switch like right before the
retail season like when I moved over I
did this last year I did it like in the
middle of summer
so okay a few more questions we're
coming through
oh and Bynum says comes from the white
hat black hat show so this must be the
algorithm update okay cool I don't
listen to that show maybe you should
watch that
okay Diana says you bought a bunch of
domains three months ago
will Google regard them as spam or can I
still upload content and rank well it's
fine they won't regard it as spam only
if you do you know weird stuff but it
sounds like if they're just sitting
there you're good to go Diana so don't
worry about it Polina says you have 265
backlinks and you have 3 301 redirects
there is one site that's putting your
site in an iframe and he has 40
backlinks to my site
how should I remove them this site has a
5 spam score on Moz ok could it be the
problem maybe I'm not sure but I would
just disavow actually I would I would
report the site and get it taken down
but you could also disavow them but I
would just get the site taken them if
they're putting your sign in iframe
that's soup you you should be able to do
that like by next week it should be down
um let's see and ok and David yep so I'm
drinking the tea today but I'm gonna be
switching over to coffee again in just a
second and Duke says it looks like
you're getting hit with negative SEO
yeah and I've heard some of that there's
been more negative SEO than I've seen in
the past week by the way Rose says you
put two backlinks on to Authority
Wikipedia pages on your niche cool
that's really cool
Logan says you have a site doing about
50 dollars a day should you focus on kgr
articles or backlinks at this point it
depends on what you have focused on
before in the past so I would say if you
if you neglected something in the past
you should probably get that part to
catch up Robbie
is on what's up and
let's see Michael is saying okay good to
see you Michael by the way can I suggest
a good VPN so the one I use is called
VIPRE VPN and I think I got a good deal
on it like back in the day and I
typically used I don't know if I still
have a good deal on it but it seems to
be consistent and I have it on my
machine so when I go to like a coffee
shop or travel or whatever that's what I
use and then off topping and actually
Michael everything's fair game today the
you're asking about the ring or fill
light attachment I use for my phone
videos so typically it depends I have a
lot of different lights one is this
super cheap like dusk light here it's
just a regular desk light that I clamp
it on to my microphone stand right here
and it's not the most steady I probably
shouldn't have moved it just now but
anyway so that's right there just
because sometimes this I'm in front of a
big window so sometimes the sunlight
comes in like pretty intensely today
it's a little overcast so it's not too
bad but the big thing so so the light
stand is awesome like I think I have two
of those they're 400 watt bulbs each and
they're great they're really really good
and I think it only cost like 60 bucks
or so yep so typically that's what I'm
using and most of the time I'm trying to
get in front of like a bright window
just because it's like nice even like
coming in okay and Ravi by the way I saw
your your question again about the
course in it I sent you an email by the
way for a five-figure a niche site so
yeah
let me know what's up I was gonna say I
think I've gotten back to you a few
times
so I'm not sure if there's like some
miscommunication or something like that
but I've gotten back to you a couple
times alright Duke you sent me an email
Thanks others ask ya post the link for
sure okay and John says any good
examples of blog commenting for
engagement and outreach just being I
mean just engaging with the person so
ask questions about like the content or
make interesting conversation so as far
as specific examples I don't have any
but I would say go to like neil patel
dot-com or backlinko and look at some of
the comments that are there those are
actually you pretty good Oh an SSL was
one of the other correlations
interesting interesting okay
I'm gonna hop back over to some of the
other questions that were sent in okay
this was a little long I started a niche
site a month ago you've written 15
articles all of them or how to
informational articles you're ranking in
the top three on being in Yahoo but
Google articles are in the top 100 is it
possible that your site's still in the
sandbox yeah I mean your site's only a
month old so almost definitely in the
sandbox another thing is you write a
really good post that had no competition
it ranked number four but two days later
the post is gone you know that your
content was better and more in-depth
what causes that thanks for all the
content all right this is from C Dana
basically I think this is all normal for
a site that's a month old so keep
publishing content keep moving forward
and in several months you'll be in good
shape
alright
next question from Thomas what's the
best and fastest way to find all the
products within an inch within a
specific price range you want to find
all the products between 200 and 250
dollars in a product segment how do I do
that do you have to use a service so
Thomas I would say just use the Amazon
search features and I'll pose a few
questions back why I've never found the
need to find all the products so and I
to be honest with you I haven't used
jungle scouts I've seen it before but I
would say you don't need to know that
information Thomas it could be
interesting but I would say if you just
focused on what you're actually to do
which I don't know this question is a
little out of context so I would say I
would just use the search I don't know
the best or fastest way to do it because
I've never done it before
the kgr this is from Volyn my buddy
Volyn he says how many times should we
use the targeted keyword in the article
however many times you need to man so
here's the thing I can't tell you how
many times to use a keyword it depends
also if I said five times and then it
was a 500 word article versus a 5,000
word article like we're comparing apples
and puppies right there's no there's
nothing common about it so usually
though I'll try and be a little bit more
helpful usually if you're targeting a
kgr term you should use it in the title
and then like one time in the article
that's it a lot of times these are long
phrases and you know you shouldn't use
them too many times okay Ian let's see
engineer and I'm hopping back to the
chat by the way I haven't asked about
this but if you have the opportunity to
click the like I'm answered quite a few
questions if I answered your question
please do click the like button would
really appreciate it we have like 53
people on and only 18 like so we've been
going strong here so if you have the
opportunity I'd appreciate it
okay green engineer is saying you're
getting a hundred and twenty visitors a
day seventy clicks on your affiliate
link but only one a percent conversion
rate what could be wrong can BOTS do
that okay so are you getting a one
percent conversion rate a green engineer
if you want to set up time with me I do
some one-on-one coaching by the way
everyone I do some one-on-one coaching
these are the kind of questions where
there could be a simple thing wrong and
it may be really easy to fix I would say
you probably still need more traffic but
there are a number of questions that
come up like conversion rate is that
like the conversion rate reported on
Amazon is that the conversion rate from
like a visitor on your site to purchase
and then can bots do it you know I think
most of the technically I don't know
right so I don't know I would suspect
that it's possible that a bot could do
it but most likely is not a bot like the
simplest answer is you don't have enough
traffic there are a number of other
things like what's the price point are
the 120 visitors on like a single page
or is that honest like your whole entire
site so there's a lot of factors out
there but if you want to book some time
I do one-on-one coaching where I could
actually like help you it's really hard
to do it in this fashion Pearce's do I
have any training on Facebook Ads know
you had an organic traffic drop at the
end of April okay it sounds like it's
kind of widespread and pasture Duke
says you had a drop in rankings on the
big new site in you're starting to see a
recovery after implementing the change
is good to know good to know Neil says
can you use a free theme yes and Duke is
mentioning the correlation study so
there's a link there thanks for doing
that - appreciate it
Diana says is it a good idea to rank for
non-buyers keywords yes it is Logan says
you need to set up your one-on-one call
for the course you have a couple sites
to work on but not sure which ones is
that something we could talk about yeah
totally and Logan just shoot me an email
to the support email address and we
could set it up yeah definitely whatever
whatever you need help with
I mean guru Anton is the first time on
so welcome glad to have you on michael
says based on a recent question is there
some utility and targeting being or
yahoo users no not really
no don't worry about it
if you do well on Google then you'll
probably do fine on the other search
engines but yeah I wouldn't worry about
it
Patrick says is there a way to buffer
against negative SEO from the start of
the site not that I know of
not that I know of like Google is pretty
good understanding like what links are
terrible but if someone is persistent
then they can indeed hit you with
negative SEO that is actually effective
okay
