It has taken 6 months to get my BANS stores to earn a reasonable amount of money, but it’s finally coming together. One thing that I figured out a few months ago was that I needed to make it nearly impossible for someone NOT to find my website when they type in my keyword phrases. For me, I realized early on that because my websites were in highly competitive niches that I wouldn’t likely be able to get these websites in the top ten searches easily.
First you need the basics. A nicely designed store, content, a blog attached to your store. Now what?
One effective way to get some traffic to your niche stores is to utilize social bookmarking websites and your blogs RSS feeds as much as you can. Think about this; When you use Digg to bookmark a website and use a good keyword that doesn’t have a ton of competition, you can get on the first or second page in the search engines within a few days if you’re lucky.
So why not do that with all the social bookmarking websites? Eventually you have more than one reference to your website in the top ten positions. Try Digg, StumbleUpon, Reddit just to name a few.
Next you need to make use of Squidoo and make a lens. Use your blogs RSS feed on your Squidoo lens for yet another way for people to get to your website (this is assuming that your blog and niche store are integrated). Don’t forget that your Ezinearticles.com account has an RSS feed as well that you can use on your Squidoo Lens.
Sign up for Zimbio as well and add your blogs. Then you can ping your blogs and your blog postings will be added to one of their Wikizines.
Look for other RSS feed websites that let you add your RSS feed. Soon enough references to your website are everywhere and you have traffic coming from all over. The best part about doing this is that it actually has made me rank better in the SERP’s because of all the backlinks.
Now, I don’t want to sound like I know everything because I certainly don’t, but this has worked well for me.
