How To Dominate A Tight Niche

When Jon at WickedFire yelled at me about making tons of sites to dominate a niche, he wasn’t kidding. It works, but most aff marketers tackle it the wrong way. The lazy way. The lazy way ends up being the hardest because it gets you banned from the search engines and you have to start over.

My method was to set up 10 content sites reviewing the products I wanted to sell. They all even had the content rewritten from the first version. Cost was $250 for my developer to create a template, and another $150 for content and rewrites of that content. Total cost for 10 sites? $400. Not bad considering they made me $2387.68 in commissions last month.

Here’s how you will dominate any small niche with great ROI:

  1. Populate your site with content that targets longtail phrases. KeywordDiscovery is a good tool for finding them. If you can test with PPC, Hittail can help you gather some juicy longtail phrases to optimize for!
  2. Build trust with the visitor by comparing multiple products and possibly giving most of them a bad rating. Avoid giving your favorite product a perfect rating as it makes it look biased. People like to see the word “votes” so take advantage of that. Think social sites.
  3. Ping blog sites to get indexed fast. A good free tool for that is pingoat.
  4. Add content every day for 3 days or so from the beginning of the site to help indexing speed.
    1. Ideally you’ll have a dedicated server with a unique IP for each site, so they appear unrelated to eachother. If you don’t want to lay out the cash for a dedicated server, or you don’t believe in the unique c-class IP myth (my tests are inconclusive about whether you need it), my weapon of choice is hostgator’s cheapest option. I used to use lunarpages but I encountered too many stupid server config issues with them..
  5. Build links the RIGHT way… naturally. (not really.. you just gotta be really good at making them look natural ;) ). I’ll cover link building in my next post.

These are the steps I used to take up the first 15 or so spots in Google for nearly all of my target search terms. You can do it too.
