After my last post about traffic without conversions, I’m happy to report that three sales came in from the site. Just when I thought that I was about to be stuck the sales popped up. Three sales all for the exact products I recommended and from pages that ranked well for their target keyword.
Happiness… I feel like such a geek, but it made me really happy. Sure, I’ve had plenty of affiliate sales from my websites in the past. It wasn’t my first dollar online, but it still had that same feeling of accomplishment.
Plans for Niche Site B….
Traffic is still coming in and the rankings keep improving for the additional keywords. I’m going to add a few more pages of content, a few more product links, and keep working on all the usual tasks, like building backlinks and site promotion.
I do still think that a different affiliate program would convert better, so I’ll keep applying and being persistent. In the meantime, I think I’m going to add SkimLinks and see how well it performs there.
How did we get here?
If you’re just stopping by for the first time and wondering what the heck I’m talking about, you can see the progress on my Niche Site B project over the past three months here.
Transcriptionist, passionate cross stitcher, writer at heart, wife, mom, and finder of lost shoes… Loretta Oliver, married to the comic book geek of her dreams and mother of four amazing young men, has been working from home full time since 2001. With a busy transcription service business, a few niche sites, and a handful of other internet marketing projects on the go, the computer is always fired up and the ideas are always flowing.
Woohoo, I think it was my email asking that brought the sales. I’ll ask again soon how your niche sites are going 🙂
I’m glad to hear that your work is paying off.
