Starting a new niche site

Because my Amazon affiliate traffic is so low on my existing niche site I'm going to start a couple of more sites and blogs. I brainstormed a couple of niche ideas and will create sites or blogs for them in the next couple of weeks.

I'll document the process in this blog and also show my results.

I researched keywords and traffic via the google adwords tool. The keywords I'm aiming for generate about 400 searches per month. And the websites I found aren't really informative so I think adding content should be fairly easy. I also have a couple of Amazon products which fit this niche.

Next step is to create a webpage and write content about the topic. Afterwards I'm going to generate some backlinks and initial traffic.

This should generate some income for my Superclix and Amazon challenge.

Niche site - small project

It's been a long time since I posted the last time. I want to reactivate this blog to trace a small project I want to do for the next 11 weeks. Another blog just did a little challenge building a new niche site from scratch. I'll try and do the same and write down my thoughts and progress here.

So the challenge to build this niche site starts today and ends on 8th of September. I'll do a small write-up every week (whenever possible on Monday).

First step is to select a niche and possible affiliate products. In my case I choose "Smoothie" as a niche. Now you might say that is not really a niche more of a pretty broad keyword but I'm targeting german traffic. I checked with Google Keyword Planer and it gets around 45k searches per month and it seems like it's still possible to get a good google ranking for the keyword. I also found a possible product on Superclix affiliate network which I can promote.

I created a first site on google sites and will create some articles and recipe sites there. I plan to include pictures as often as possible to gain traffic via image searches too. I linked the site with my google analytics account and we'll see how the traffic will develop.

Let's see how much money I can generate in those 11 weeks ... and as you might have noticed I'm trying to do so without investing a single cent. All will be done using free services from Google and other free sites.
