Learn To Rank One Site First


The lure of opening so many niche stores with the ease of BANS or PHPBay is one that can get you frustrated in a hurry. I bought that T-shirt many years ago. It wasn't until I learned how to rank a site and understand how organic traffic is acquired that the big money started to be made. It is so easy to just start a new niche store instead of trying to rank a current one and it is a deadly trap. You have to focus on getting one site to rank, before you can expect other sites to rank. Is it fast and easy? No, but it is quite attainable if you read thoroughly through this blog or several others.

If you have a ton of sites merely getting trickle organic traffic or low volume keyword traffic, pick one that is dearest to your heart and focus on it until you rank in the top 3 listings on page one of Google. Once you obtain that, then you can look at your traffic and documented work you have done on both onsite and off to help focus on your next site you want to rank. The ranking learning curve is great, but very very achievable. The easiest task as I have mentioned over the last month is ranking an article on GoArticles or EzineArticles. Although you do not have privy to the stats portion of those pages, you can use rank checking tools to see what you are ranking for.

Until you see it in action for yourself, only then will you FULLY understand the process and the giant light bulb will turn on.

Yes, it's a trap many of us fell into as newbies.

But you reap what you sow, and it's been interesting watching the "My account's been expired!" forum posts as the chickens have come home to roost (nothing like a good mixed metaphor!)

You're right - once the novelty wears off, ya just gotta do the work.

I feel hard into that trap as well. Bought BANS software last year and put up 7 or 8 stores. Closed 1 store. Of the remaining 7 4 have been dropped by Google (too thin I'm certain). One the 4 dropped ranks #1 on Yahoo for my primary keyword (doesn't translate to $$$ though). So, I have already started down this path, based on your previous postings on this blog, to focus on trying to get one site ranked and then move to the next.
I enjoy your blog and the information that you share.
