Also, I will give some examples and the tools that are needed.

You’d be surprised at how well these work. It takes a bit of work of course, but when they are up and running, you could potentially have a network of money-earners that run on autopilot.

Pick a type and go with it. They ALL work!

Typical 3-5 Product or Service Review Site; Still Works

1st you have the typical review site that you see all over the place. A marketer lists 3-5 similar products or services, gives a “review”, or better yet, gives facts, about each one. Each review has links to an affiliate offer where the customer can make a purchase.

As an example, I built one of these sites about a year ago (I sold it recently) that did very well. I was simply running ads in the content network on Google to get traffic. Anyway, the site reviewed 3 software packages from RegNow.com that allow someone to convert DVDs into Zune-playable files. Here’s the site: ZuneMovieConverters.com and here’s one of the landing pages: http://zunemovieconverters.com/dvd-to-zune-review. The site just uses WordPress and I used an HTML table in the post to format the text properly. Make sure there is other content on the site besides the review and it will do better. That’s why it’s nice to use WordPress, it makes it easier to add other content.

Another review site that is apparently doing quite well… between $2,000 and $3,000 per month according to the owner is this one: http://www.specialonlinebusinessreviewauthority.com/

I’m not sure what the site uses but it can easily be done in WordPress if you know how to edit themes. The owner is trying to sell the site right now for $27,000! All sales come from organic traffic too! He used strictly article marketing to accomplish that. Do not underestimate the power of article marketing. To potentially accomplish the same thing (it’ll cost you about $47 minimum per month), sign up with AMA, and submit an article or 2 per week for a year (1 article can translate into 100′s of backlinks slowly over time). In the first couple of articles use the anchor text of your main keyword. In the rest, use varying anchor text. Find related keywords using the Google External Keyword Tool to use as the anchor text. Then sell your site for 10x monthly profit and break me off a slice!

Customer Review Site

I love these customer review sites. I will be building more of these this year. You simply setup WordPress and write posts discussing facts or properties of several related products or services. You use a special plugin that will accept customer reviews in the form of comments. The customer can also rate the product based on any factor you wish. An overall rating will be shown next to the post. Here’s an example of a site that reviews different hosting companies: http://www.awardwinninghosts.com/. I asked the author of the plugin the best way to get the reviews going initially and he said he just visits forums at the product/company web sites and, if allowed, asks other people in the forum (i.e. customers) to come over to the site and tell him what they think.

Check out the plugin site and you can see other cool examples.

Micro-Niche Review/Guide Websites

These sites are also very cool. They offer great value to your potential customer. You provide lots and lots of valuable content that the search engines will gobble up. The content will be guides, like “how-to” or “top 10″ guides perhaps, and you will also add product reviews. The reviews will be for individual products that are available on eBay. You simple drop a few eBay auctions in the middle or end of your review of the product. Here’s an example: http://forgedgolfirons.com/

These sites have long term earning ability. Don’t expect any money too quickly. Wait a couple months and things should start picking up. And don’t expect the money to stop flowing once it comes! Certainly, if you follow the plan in this 9-step guide you will have a well designed site that is ready for search engine love. The guys who wrote the guide have tried and tested the method and swear by it. They hardly do any marketing. They focus on content and site building and that’s pretty much it. The tools used… phpBay and WordPress. You can get the exact details from this guide. I built about 5 of these sites since buying the guide last week. The way it’s done is quite unique (at least from anything I’ve ever done). It’s impressive. Also, try TextBroker.com for content. You don’t have to worry about being stiffed by a writer on that site, plus you don’t have to pay until you are satisfied. Had I known that last year I would’ve saved lots of money!

Have you used any of the above methods in the past? What do you think?

You understand that having links back to your site can improve your rankings in search engines right? You also understand that using varied related keywords as the anchor text surrounded by related information helps a great deal right? You probably have heard of and may even use article marketing techniques to help with your SEO efforts. It has been said that submitting UNIQUE content to niche related web sites with links back to your site will help your rankings climb in the SERPS. Well, let me tell you about a way that has been helping me rank for some high traffic keywords. I pay a lot less than I used to for content and it’s also less manual effort saving me a ton of time.

The Process In A Nutshell…

I basically have 2 articles written from a ghost writer, merge them with some special formatting, submit them to a content syndication network and then rinse and repeat for other sites, pages, hubs, lenses etc. that I want to rank for my chosen keywords.

There are several ways that you can prepare your articles for submission but here I will describe the method that I have been using and that has been working well for me. I have someone write a 100% unique article for me on a particular topic. How many links it can contain depends on the number of words it is. 300 words or more will allow 2 links. You can go as high as 3 links. I usually pay a writer from the DigitalPoint forum around $1.50 to $2.00 per 100 words.

Then I have someone “spin” the article. Spinning the article involves rewriting each sentence and heading of the original article. The sentences should be around the same length and mean EXACTLY the same thing as the original, just using different words. Then I create a text file merging the 2 articles with special formatting. It’s simple, you wrap the original and rewritten sentence in [spin] tags and separate them with the pipe “|” symbol like this: [spin]Original 1st sentence.|Rewritten 1st sentence.[/spin] [spin]Original 2nd sentence.|Rewritten 2nd sentence.[/spin]

I then submit the specially formatted file to the content syndication network and it does the rest. You will have to provide the list of keywords that you want to be linked and where they are to be linked to and then replace the keyword in your article with a special code. The system will replace that special code with a random keyword and make it a link. The system will also randomly grab a sentence, either the original or a rewrite, for each sentence, generating several unique versions of the article. You are left with 90+ unique versions of your original article ready to be gradually and automatically submitted to niche related blogs, with dofollow links back to your content! It’s a gradual process making it more natural.

This is just a simple example, and really it is all I often ever do. But you could write several alternate sentences if you wish, it doesn’t have to be just 1. Just separate them all with pipes. You can also show a random YouTube video and random lists in your articles among other things. There are clear instructions on how to do accomplish all of this in the support files of the network.

Picture it…you could have a 250 word article written and “spun” for around 5 or 6 dollars. Spend about 1/2 hour setting up the submission and you can have over 90 backlinks to your blog on auto-pilot over the next few months. Do that once a week and you have a crap load of backlinks coming in.. including deeplinks if you choose! With your paid subscription to Syndicate Kahuna you can submit as many articles as you want! No limits. Promote all of your sites and content pages. Some say it’s ALL you need for SEO.

Stay tuned because I will be introducing a tool that I had written that makes the “spinning” process extremely simple and less prone to formatting errors (because it’s done by the program rather than a human). It works like a charm.
