Fashion Affiliate Marketing Journey 2021 (SEO Traffic)

Sounds like good news all around! I see that you're getting an increasing amount of returning visitors, too! You must be doing things right. :)

So who bought a hoodie from @SEOBlogPosts?
Not yet but I've browsed several times since he started his journey because well, they're the coolest hoodies. :D I'm having trouble deciding what I want and for whom. I also want to check about shipping (location and freight).

There are a couple of sales on there right now. Just sayin' for anyone interested. ;)

Great results so far. Do you mean just the home page? or frequent fresh articles? How many pages do you have by now?
How many pages?
Must be over 100 now
I'll check Search Console
Indexed pages report shows historical data
Always update your home page
Every day post some new content
Link to it from your home page
Keep the crawl coming !!

W-O-W traffic for May 24-30 increased 22%
Getting closer to 100 visits/day average
Saturday was my 2nd best day so far (115)
Next daily milestone is 200 visits
I've had publisher's fatigue this past week
@T J Tutor is that a thing? if it is how do I deal with it? o_O
Been poking around relentlessly
Improving bits and pieces, adding META, connecting broken links --> my external nemesis
Did you see what I did there? (external links & eternal nemesis = 'eXternal nemesis' oh well ..)
Still need to follow schedule (start and end time)
Bounce rate dropped a few more points --> just need to nudge it under 60%
Majority of traffic is still coming from Bing
Google will overtake it, I'm sure (maybe @Strickland is right about Google sandbox)
Overall pleased with the project
Need to kick into another gear now
Peak summer shopping is coming up fast !!
My plan to post scheduled weekday updates hasn't worked out
Maybe I should actually schedule them this time

@Honeybadger are you able to use an editorial calendar in your vertical?

Are you taking an adequate time away from the computer, so your brain can refresh? If you don't, your brain will fry (so to speak), which can make writing and creativity more challenging.

Congrats on your steady progress, by the way! :)

Yes absolutely
Google Calendar is perfect
I'm just avoiding common sense

No I've been very naughty in that respect
Need to take a week off for some rock climbing
Starting to get fat again
Congrats on your steady progress, by the way! :)
2nd time I've tried SEO
SEO definitely works
But there's definitely no overnight success
SEO is not even a marathon --> it's a marathon of marathons

Not really @Strickland
I've never done linking building
Always rely on gaining natural links over time
Also tried social media but didn't get any where
On-page optimization and content writing
These are my no1 & no2 skills
What do you suggest?
 
You should experiment with some links, I think they would help a lot.
If you pick a keyword or phrase that's a few months old and has a pretty stable position in Google and just build some links to it. Can be blog posts or replies, forums, anything that's relevant. If you can get 10 to 15 dofollow links to a low comp keyword you'll see some movement in the serps. They definitely work.
You might find that hiring someone to build a good quality backlink profile for the site can pay for itself further down the line.

Also tried social media but didn't get any where

If it's any use I just started a journey thread where I'm driving traffic to a site using only social media. I'm curious to see just how much volume I can squeeze out of it. HERE
 
1st Day in the Month
Sharing commission for May 2021


NetworkAmazonNetwork 2Network 3
Target$666$666$666
Earnings$77$261$65

Target for May 2021 was to break even at $2,000
Came out at only $403
However this wasn't based on a detailed plan
Started May 2021 working on 10 sites
Halfway through the month reverted to 2 sites (new site & old site)
Last quarter in May focused on old site --> where all commission came from
This leaves me with $2,000 in savings
Made a decision when it hits $1k I'm getting a job on that day
It's gonna be online so there are many options
Not worried but really need to focus this month
Starting today
 
Change of Plan
Q2 Emergency Board Meeting

Honeybadger has met with the company directors who issued the following statements

  • $100k commission is an unrealistic target for 2021
  • Jumping from $10k in 2020 to $100k in 2021 was premature
  • Prior planning was not completed in Q4 2020 as agreed
  • Directors retain their faith in Honeybadger
  • Directors expect a detailed action plan at 10am on Friday June 11, 2021
  • Honeybadger will be executed if target 2 (below) is not achieved
New targets for 2021

1 --> New commission target is $20,000 (Q1, Q2, Q3 & Q4)
2 --> Monthly breakeven target is $2,000 (Q3 & Q4)

Project Update

Commission & traffic are improving
Nothing special only $30-$50 per day
All commission coming from winter fashion old site
Mostly for year-round fashion products
Scarves, t shirts, caps, belts, rucsacks
I thought they wouldn't be popular until fall
Turns out my product landing pages were the problem
Broken links, spelling mistakes, missing images, missing image descriptors, wrong prices
These past weeks I've been relentlessly tidying & fixing things
Important -->
Google Calendar & discipline
Google is absolutely loving all this, result --> improved rankings, more traffic & more sales
For Amazon, customers make all kinds of random purchases
Key is just send customers to Amazon
Chances are they'll buy something even if it's non fashion
That commission pot keeps filling up
Want to get an app for my phone
Every commission I want to hear ding, ding, ding, ding !!

Perfect motivation !!
Hope to double commission earned in May
All I need to do is focus
Follow One Course Until Successful
