Anyway to sell clickbank products without google knowing

hi there -

just wondering where is the best place to ask you a few questions about your amazon affiliate kit that i purchased? i don't have enough posts to PM.

thanks!

Screw user experience, eh?

1) Then why is it so easy for my mentor & I to outrank Amazon consistently?

2) Can you produce one iota of proof, outside of "my friend told me" or "somewhere in my past this one time at band camp"? Show us links to back up what you're saying.

"Google" and the "Googlebots" don't think anything. Google is a company and Googlebots are scripts. They're not sentient or even semi-sentient creatures that control their own actions; they're programs that are created by humans and are told to look for very specific things. Each time one of the things in their code is found, a point is added. Once the site/page/whatever has been dissected, the points are sent back to a server where they're compared to everybody else's points on that server and a rank is produced.

It's Programming 102. (Slightly more advanced than the "hello world" script of Programming 101.)

I just don't even begin to understand conversations like this. I do very little SEO, and even I can outrank Amazon easily.

You'll really hate this book - I strongly recommend that you avoid it.

Depending on the product, physical stores don't have to have "some nice stories" to read. By the time you are standing in the store, the "academic stories" (aka 'advertisements', 'product placements', etc.) have already done their job.

Same for the actual product seller. Whether it's your basic e-com catalog site, the extensive pages of retailers like Amazon or Best Buy, or even your traditional long form sales letter on Clickbank, by the time a buyer lands on the payment page the time for stories of any kind is over.

From your user name, you are an affiliate. Your job is to get people to the payment page in the mood to buy. You are more like the ads and product placements than the actual seller, so it's your job to tell nice stories, answer questions (including the ones not asked) and whatever else it takes to get people into that buying mood.

For many major purchases, like homes, cars, investments, etc. you still get "nice stories" only you don't have to read them. Commission salespeople will gladly tell them.

Dammit, I knew I should have bought those shares in Acme Tinfoil Hats. The things are going like hotcakes, apparently.:rolleyes:

Has it ever occurred to you that maybe one of the reasons Amazon and other major retailers rank for so many keywords has something to do with thousands of highly-relevant, keyword-rich content pages with extensive product descriptions and specs, user reviews, alternate selections and a Gordian knot of internal links?

As opposed to, say, a cheesy EMD with a few pages of desultory content and affiliate links? :confused:

Wait, I forgot. "Google hates affiliates" is so much easier to blame.

Yes, you can promote an Amazon affiliate site with AdWords. However, if you don't know what you are doing, you will almost certainly get tagged as a bridge page and possibly banned (worst case).

I can tell you for certain that using something like wpazonbuilder will ensure AdWords rejection / banning.
