Wordpress SEO
Written by mbpage on November 10, 2008
Following my despressing experience with Blogging to the Bank 3.0 (avoid at all costs) I have to say I could write a better ebook myself with only 6 months experience!
I have got a lot more comfortable with Wordpress over the last 3 months or so and can pretty much tell the good from the bad and the ugly now. A cracking Wordrpess SEO guide can be found on Yoasts Blog. Yow will learn a massive amount for free and pick up some tremendous plugins. Check it out, its free but it’s worth paying for. Good job.
I also want to give another look out to Mark and Soggy and their respective blogs at thenichestorebuilder.com and buildanichestoreblog.blogspot.com. I credit these two guys with getting my own niche stores to $2000 per month revenue and rising so if you want to succeed online follow their advice.
I’d love to make a greater contribution myself and one day I will. For the moment I have to spend most of my time building my own business. I’m trying to replace an income of $100,000 a year and I’m only a quarter of the way their. Hopefully in another 2 years time I’ll have made the grade. Wish me luck.

Hey, yeah i read those two guys too, their both pretty good. One question, what type of content to you use for your stores? Ie is it all custom by yourself or plr, or do you buy articles? Cause i read on Build a Niche Store blog that every product page needs to have a couple of hundred words and when you have 20-30 stores thats alot of content! Also you have msn etc? Would love to pick your brain. Thanks P

Looking forward to your remarks,

Yeah, I was tempted by storestacker but I’ve got too much going on and I think my preference would be datafeedr which I have used before. I didn’t know enough about wordpress at the time and I thought their pricing model was wrong but they’ve addressed that now.
The biggest mistake we can make is to jump from one product to the next. For now I’m focusing on phpBay stores but I do intend to diversify again in Q2 next year.

Sorry Paul I missed your comment. Ideally every page should have content but I don’t think it is absolutely necessary provided you have 20-30 pages of content on your site.
I build what I call drill down stores these days. For example if I build a site that sells laptops I would have a page of content on what a laptop is.
I would than add a sub page on a laptop brand e.g. Dell which would have content about Dell. I would then have links to a number of Dell laptops e.g. subnotebooks again this would have content.
Next I may go to specific models I know sell well and on this page I would just have products and little to no content.
The question to ask yourself is if you removed all your products from you site are you left with information that helps your visitors? If not, the sites just not good enough.
With regard to content I have started to outsource and I reinvest 25% of my income each month in having content produced for my sites and article directories. I do make use of some PLR but I always have it rewritten.
I can have 40 PLR articles rewritten for around $3 per article at elance.
Hope that helps.
