SEO Affiliate Niche Empire the REAL TRUTH !

If you’re ready to take your affiliate business to the next level and start building your own VRE (Virtual Real Estate) empire then this information could take you from earning $1,000 or less per month to making six figures per year in passive income. The “secret” is to work smarter by building, expanding, and duplicating the process over and over again until you’re at the level of income you want.

I’m sure you’ve heard of term “rinse and repeat“. Well, this is the concept in all its glory! It will teach you how to make money online.

First, let’s assume you’re targeting a high demand niche that has a constant flow of hungry prospects eager to buy what you’re offering. This is an essential part of the master plan.You want to position your sites in a prime location where they can benefit from a niche that has a massive amount of consumer spending. This will enable you to increase the scalability and profitability of your business in the long run.

Smaller “less well known” niches that don’t have some sort of mass-appeal won’t be as effective with this strategy but can still prove to be viable. Only your own test results will tell.Think of building a VRE niche empire much like you would a real-estate empire. The more properties you own and control the more money you can make.The same holds true on the internet if you know how to build quality sites with a solid foundation of traffic and incoming links.

To achieve this you need at least a shared hosting account that offers multiple dedicated IP addresses so you don’t leave any footprints that the search engines can follow. Multiple sites in the same niche on the same shared IP address can trigger a red flag to the search engines.

You don’t want to risk getting your sites slapped!

You’re also going to need a system for building sites that can be quickly and easily duplicated without sacrificing quality. For this purpose WordPress is really the best way to go.WordPress has become the easiest to use and most SEO friendly platform for creating affiliate sites hands down. It’s definitely not just for bloggers anymore!

Today’s savvy marketers are using WordPress as their preferred platform for creating affiliate sites.

Why WordPress?

Because not only is it quick to install but themes are easy to modify and customize to your needs. You can turn WordPress into just about any kind of site you want without having it look like a typical blog.Here are two of my favorite types of affiliate sites that can easily be created using WordPress.

Automated Niche Content Portal Sites

These sites are the foundation for your network of niche affiliate sites. They’re like an all-inone niche portal that provides the much needed “link juice” and traffic to new sites until they have enough PR (Page Rank) and incoming links to stand on their own rankings.For building a niche content portal you’re going to need a WordPress theme that looks like a portal site. I’ve found that the magazine style themes like the popular Revolution2 theme work best for these sites.

What’s makes these sites automated is by using RSS feeds to fetch content from a variety of sources and posts it to your site. The content feeds can range from news, articles, videos, podcasts, and any other type of syndicated content available in your niche.Just like any other portal site you can setup categories for each type of media content you use. You can even add links to these categories on your site’s top navigation bar. These content portals are automatically updated with fresh new content that the search engines love. Once you set one of these sites up you can leave it alone and it will continue to generate a steady flow of free traffic and incoming links on auto-pilot. To monetize your niche content portal you can insert affiliate banner ads into the sidebar that are targeted to products in your niche.

But to make money online directly from these sites isn’t the ultimate goal. The beauty of it is being able to leverage the PR (Page Rank) for your “money sites” to help boost their rankings.To find the RSS content feeds to use for your niche portal site all you need to do is download a free RSS reader and search for your niche keywords. Another way to find them is to simply search Google for “keyword +RSS feed” and you should be able to find plenty of them.

Speed Up Google News Crawling

Getting you site’s content crawled by Google News is not the easiest thing in the world. Luckily, Google has a number of guidelines that can help you get your content in. Furthermore, today, on the Google News Blog, Abe Epton of the News Online Operations Team posted 8 tips to help Google News better crawl your site. These are:

1. Keep the article body clean
2. Make sure article URLs are permanent and unique
3. Take advantage of stock tickers in Sitemaps
4. Check your encoding
5. Make your article publication dates explicit
6. Keep original content separate from press releases
7. Format your images properly
8. Article titles in Google News

Most of these are pretty self-explanatory. He does elaborate on each of them in the post, but I’ll clear a few up here. When he talks about cleaning up the body, he’s referring to formatting as well as HTML.

“If your article body is broken up by tags, ads, sidebars or other non-article content, we may not be able to detect the actual article body, and reject your article as a result,” explains Epton. “In addition, if you place the beginning of your article’s body near the title in the HTML, we’ll be more likely to extract the correct title and snippet.”

With regards to the stock tickers, they simply help Google better determine the subjects of articles. On encoding, Epton notes, “We occasionally see articles that declare themselves to be encoded in one format (say, UTF-8) and are actually encoded in another (say, ISO 8859-1).”

As for the “article titles in Google News” tip, I’m admittedly a little hazy myself. At the time of this writing, Epton’s explanation cuts off.

Beyond these tips though, there are plenty more to be obtained fairly easily by perusing the Google News help center. For example, a look through the technical requirements section for publishers will give you precise details about URLs, domains, drop-down menus, dynamic content, javascript, flash, forums, frames, languages, etc. The resources are there. Use them.

Widgets are bits of interactive HTML code that gather certain information from designated websites so you don’t have to continually check each website for new posts. Pre-scripted widgets are available for Facebook and require no knowledge of HTML coding, but if you want custom widgets and you have some experience with HTML, you can create Widgets and post them to your Facebook site.

Choose an online widget editor like Widgetbox to use in creating the widget. The widgets it creates need to be compatible with Facebook. Widgetbox is free and the widgets made there are compatible with Facebook.

I Always love reading Shoemoney blog about why SEO sucks or not,do you feel the difference when you do SEO on your site or not? I will just quote some of the Shoemoney conclusions..

1 – It makes you stop trying to innovate. When people suddenly rank #1 for their keywords a lot of times they stop working on new things and settle.

2 – Its hard work. Its no joke SEO is hard work and its rules are constantly changing.. which means what you are doing today might not be acceptable tomorrow.

And i start thinking really why some blogs rank top 1-30 let’s say for make money online niche, and they have a poor backlinks low quality posts..or they done their homework on SEO ?? ever wonder??
