Wordpress & BANS - The Perfect Combination?

Written by mbpage on October 13, 2008

Apologies for the lack of posts recently but I have been absolutely flat our converting my indexed stores to be fronted by Wordpress.  This has been a pretty exciting time as it has given me an opportunity to really start getting to grips with the power of Wordpress and as a result transform my boring old bans stores into something I am actually quite proud of.

Some weeks after the deindexing debacle I have to agree that the treatment Google dished out was a good thing.  Whilst I am not happy about how they go about things it forced me to take a good look at what I am doing and significantly raise the bar.

The opportunity to revisit developed stores also revealed how little I knew when I first started.  As a result I have been able to apply new keyword strategies, seo techniques and improve the aesthetics of my sites.  The potential for them to start generating even more cash is actually pretty mind blowing and I can’t wait to see how I rank for things in another 3 months.

Wordpress is great because adding new content via a blog front end is so easy.  You can also incorporate other affiliate promotions into the posts and plenty of links to other site pages.  Combined with Build a Niche store I think this is a pretty awesome strategy.  I must say I prefer building niche stores this way as opposed to using phpBay although I still use that product as well.

What do you guys think?

  2. Hi,

    Can I ask how do you intergrate your Bans stores and Wordpress?

    I have few stores and I use Wordpress on the front end and the simmplecss theme from Mark Hanson for the store.

    Thanks,

    I should have said single right grey sorry. If you haven’t checked out Soggy’s site you are in for a treat. Loads of fantastic info.
