Niche Site Project - Q & A #Best Education Page #Online Earning

hey it's doug huntington from niche site

project and this is another session of

the QA so it's September 2014 right now

has been a couple weeks since the last

one of these Q&A sessions so let's get

to it I have a few things to go through

so the first question is around

competition analysis so this questions

from Rob and it sort of relates to

keyword research and really choosing a

niche overall so in a nutshell rob has

found some great keywords and he he sees

the keyword competition numbers from

long tail Pro platinum are generally

under 25 and he thinks they're

acceptable to go after when he looks at

the top 10 results in Google so all the

results in the front page it looks like

those particular results perhaps are not

optimized for those keywords very well

and he thinks he can beat him however

the big issue that he sees as they are

large retailers so companies like Macy's

REI nordstrom a bit Walmart and Target

and a few other big retailers are in

there too so it looks like obviously the

the age of those sites are you know it's

over 10 years in most cases and it just

it looks like those sites are going to

be tough to beat and he's probably right

in a lot of ways so what's my answer to

this so overall I am assuming that he is

probably targeting us he's probably

targeting certain products that are

reviews and that sort of thing basically

monetized through amazon associates so

that's usually what I do so that's what

my assumption is now he's looking at

competition that's mainly ecommerce

sites that would make me nervous if

there are a lot of those results in the

top 10 it makes me think

maybe it'll be a little too hard those

are obviously big sites and they have a

very strong domain authority so what I

recommended to rob is to make sure that

he is going after buyers keywords so

that within I guess that would sort of

weed out some of the this harder

competition in most cases not always but

in most cases it should help so he

should maybe try looking at a keyword

phrase that has best and then the

keywords in the product or the keywords

and product name and then reviews or

something like that that way it's really

targeting people that are trying to get

more information about the product and

it's really just the buyers keyword so

the other thing I want to add is the KC

number is I am pretty sure it's it's

based on the Maas metrics of domain

Authority and page Authority in a lot of

cases so I know there are other factors

involved I'm not sure the waiting or

exactly how those values are determined

however I know that the PA and the DA

are used in that case e number factor so

why am I even mentioning this in a lot

of cases a lot of the backlinks will be

cloaked when you analyze some of your

competition the reason why is a lot of

links nowadays are coming from PB ends

and people with PB ends will often use

some I guess some small bits of code to

block the backlink crawlers from open

site Explorer from ma's age rafts or

majestic SEO so they'll just I guess

make those particular pbn domains hidden

from the backlink crawler so when you go

and look and try and find the backlinks

of your competition you'll find some of

the backlinks but in a lot of cases you

won't find all of them so overall what I

recommended to rob is to make sure he

was going after the right kind of buyers

keywords um hopefully in that that case

that he would see that some of those

bigger websites that are retailers would

go away and not be targeting this new

keywords he's going after and then it

may also be that the KC numbers are

artificially low and then lastly I did

mention that every every niche is

different and he may be able to go and

compete and do a better job in the

search results than those big websites

the key thing would to be providing the

value to the visitors and solving the

problem if you could do that then the

visitors will stay longer on a site

there'll be other good signs passed

along to Google indicating that that's a

good site for the visitors to be

spending time on thus Google would bump

up the search rankings the next question

is around amazon earning reports and

some errors that you might see so this

question is from John and in general it

sounds like he's seen some

inconsistencies both with the number of

orders the number of items shipped and

sometimes the number of items ship seems

to vary he's not sure why so he's asking

what happened in addition it looks like

a couple days later two weeks later so

the reports actually showed zero

earnings which was incorrect previously

he had you know a few hundred dollars of

earnings showing so overall um it's just

confusing he wants to know what happened

and will i get paid so thanks John for

your question and I could tell you I've

seen some inconsistencies myself and

some of the reports in fact the same few

days that you were seeing issues I saw

the same sort of thing on

my reports as well so starting from the

top it does take some time for the

orders to ship and sometimes orders are

shipped in the next month so it's not

unusual to see for example in august

maybe 81 items were ordered but only 75

ship and then in early September the

rest of the items would most likely get

shipped the rest I think are probably

just reporting issues so like any big

company with a lot of different systems

on a different data that they're

tracking there are just times when they

need to do maintenance maybe they're

upgrading their systems or hardware and

really anything there's just so many

reasons why system could be down and

inconsistencies may show up in the

reports most of the time they'll see the

issues it may take them a couple days to

fix and then it's over all just resolved

so relax and check again in a few days

and most of the time it should be

resolved if not of course you could

contact amazon or whoever you're working

working with for your affiliate programs

the next question is about outsourcing

so I've been asked several times your

what do I outsource how much work do i

outsource and what do i do myself so

I'll take this answer and approach it

from the standpoint of niche sites I

write all the material on niche site

project other than any guest post those

are clearly noted so for the niche sites

i generally outsource about ninety

percent of the content I write some of

the material but most of the time I will

have it outsourced in addition I have a

hundred percent of the pbn articles out

sourced and I don't write any of those

and i usually get all of my writers from

odesk I'll barely very clearly have a I

guess a specific kind of job posting

whether I want money site articles or if

I want to have the pbn articles so I can

actually share those kind of I guess the

details of what's in the job postings

and how much I pain that sort of thing

so you know in general for the pbn

articles I I typically pay say like five

to eight dollars depending on the

writers and the quality of the material

and how much experience they have so it

is more expensive than some other folks

are paying however I've been finding

that the amount of overhead and the

additional work that I have to do is

much less if I just pay a little bit

more for the writing so the other thing

to add is I get your native English

speakers typically they're located in

Canada the US maybe the UK or Australia

it just depends it doesn't matter if

they're located somewhere else but I am

looking for native English speakers to

have a very you know clean very clean

article and just well done grammar so

better than my own

most of the time so for the money sites

I'm paying more than that i'm paying

probably for about a thousand words i'm

paying about twenty dollars so it's it's

more expensive but the quality of the

writing is much better and i know that

the writers are doing some research for

that up next as far as you know planning

and what I'm going to do with each of

the sites I don't outsource any of that

I have a pretty specific plan that I'm

following and I'll discuss you know the

ideas with my wife she's very aware of

the process and you know what we're

trying to do and achieve so we'll sort

of look at each one of our projects and

figure out what needs to be done next

and how to prioritize all the tasks um

and lastly my wife does work directly

with the writers and sort of serves as a

Content Manager so she can take the

finish particles process and however we

need to and publish them either on the

pbn or on the money sites so I actually

handle the HR portion and hire and pay

and that sort of thing but she does a

day-to-day tasks so it's worked out

really well it's free my time about

quite a bit and it's

I guess given her more control over some

of those areas and she can you know

train the riders exactly how they need

to be trained so I think that concludes

the questions for this time around and

if you have questions yourself I you

know let me know you could actually add

some in the comments below if you wanted

to and I'll keep it track of them for

next time or you can send me an email

and i'll put them on the on the queue

and answer next time thanks
