SEO and traffic building - ask a Super Affiliate

[CompareStore]

Tweet

For those of you who don't know me my name is Chris Young and I have been a successful affiliate for over 10 years.

I built CompareStorePrices.co.uk from scratch using my own knowledge of SEO and it now ranks at a similar level to other well known Price Comparison sites as you can see from the Alexa Rankings: comparestoreprices.co.uk - Traffic Details from Alexa

I took a few years off to enjoy family life and recently decided to get back into the industry and not only build something new but also help other affiliates along the way.

I launched AnswerHero with my new COO Nigel Frith to show the entire process of building a new affiliate website and we would really like to help as many of you as possible along the way.

So we will be answering your questions as openly and honestly as possible and will be publishing the answers in the blog and within podcasts.

If you have any questions about SEO or building a new affiliate website and making money online then please reply to this thread with your questions or Tweet them to us here: Answer Hero Blog (AnswerHeroBlog) on Twitter.

We really look forward to giving something back to an industry that has treated us so well (did that sound really cheesy???).

dear sir

we are industry specialists in the arcade industry and have some exciting projects now going online.we are looking for experts in monetising oor websites before they are finished so we can identify the revenue streams.we are also looking at how we can sell the data that is achieved from our sites ..do you know anyone who can help us with this.we are looking to be able to receive 500k hits a month

[dan74uk]

sorry chris

our traffic is guaranteed as we pay our prizes from our amusement games online rather than in the arcade.this means players have to visit our site

we do not need to attract traffick just to turn it into sponsorship opportunites and further revenue from data sales

[dan74uk]

[yes it did sound cheesy but if u help us make millions u can be as cheesy as u like

thanks

Well looking at the website I think you know exactly what you are doing!

We are trying to help new affiliates here I'm afraid.

Weird first response eh Chris!!

Anywho, really nice to see you doing this, only had a brief look at the site thus far, but will certainly follow.

I'd advise budding publishers to do the same, both Chris and Nigel know their onions!

Hi Chris,

This sounds interesting and is certainly very generous.

Why not start right at the beginning with advice for a new affiliate thinking about building some sort of content site and using SEO to generate traffic.

Some ideas about the first things to think about:

* Hosting options (how does the physical location of your server affect SEO performance? Are there hosting companies there are especially suitable for affiliates?)

* I think keyword-rich domains has probably been done to death.

* The latest thinking on link-cloaking, or on ways to stop Google viewing your site as a thin affiliate would be useful.

* Top 10 techniques to drive PageRank is old favourite but still useful.

Great thread to start Chris

Dan74UK's posts certainly dont read well

On subject, an explaination or experience on how a large site can get traffic with just a couple of links compared to many links and the importance of link building

Thanks for the questions so far!

I'm off to bed now but will check this thread again tomorrow and try and answer all the questions in both a blog post and podcast.

I've even installed a live video widget on the blog so if any of you are around in the day tomorrow then drop by and you can join in a live chat.

Own the .co.uk for a nice term, its sitting 4th after around 2/3 months. The term is pretty competitive, I believe i've got the on site SEO done, off site im not great at.

Any advice on how to jump up 3 places ?

Great offer, would love to have a chat
