It always amazes me how fast these new micro niche sites get ranked. This blog didn’t have any content on it and still was ranked #9 in Google after just a few hours of “going live”.
Of course – I’m targeting little micro-niche keywords for these niche sights which means they are easier to get listed higher in Google without much work. The key is to see what it takes to get to #1 for the main keyword.
Goal #1 – Get a micro-niche site ranked #1 in Google
I’ve been ranked #4 and 5 for a micro niche site Indiana Jones Bedding – for a few weeks. One of my goals in the Tiffany Dow Productivity Challenge was to get it to #1.
Today – I set up a few more back linking strategies for this site… and will work on something “new” everyday until I find something that breaks the #3 rank.
I’m competing with myself for that #3 spot… I’ve had an Indiana Jones article on this blog for several years and it out ranks my new site for every related keyword.
I’ve sold 21 items from this site new site already this month… all related to Indiana Jones of course. Not bad for a site that’s only been “live” for 27 days.
Goal #2 – Start New “Related” micro-niche site and get it to #1 in Google
I did get this new blog started and ranked #9 in Google.
You can see that it’s a related site – (part of the Info Product Killer Strategy) to the Indiana Jones Bedding site – Toy Story Bedroom
The site isn’t “done” yet… I’ve had company today and I just couldn’t get it all done. Tomorrow I’ll get the rest of the affiliate images and articles on the blog. And then… I’ll do all the linking strategies I’m learning in Bring The Fresh.
I set this blog up following the Bring The Fresh model instead of the IPK model… It’s hard to stop trying to add in the IPK “stuff”. I’m trying not to combine the two with this test blog.

You’re doing great Debra! I love 30 day challenges – they hold us accountable. lol
I agree Tiff – I’ve been freaking out all day “gotta” get this stuff done! As if someone was holding my feet to the fire. I watched everything you have gotten done over the last 2 days – and I feel like a slacker… LOL
I’m on a roll now!
Debra,
This is all so interesting to watch! An an internet marketing newbie, I just got my first e-book site up and running. I would really love to start going on one of these little affiliate sites. I am watching what you are doing!

Hey Ashely – These little affiliate sites are so much fun. Once you get a system down – they are really easy – like “doing them on auto pilot”. I’m loving the way
I can now think of an idea and actually implement and see what happens!
Keep watching – and we will all see if I actually start making money off these new sites.
Debra
Debra,
If you could pick one, either Info Product Killer or Bring The Fresh for a beginning affiliate marketer, which would it be? I would really like to get my feet wet, but not sure which would be better suited for a beginner.
Thanks!

Hey Ashley…
At this point in my review of “both” IPK and BTF (following along behind Tiffany Dow and her reviews) I’m going to give you the answer I feel is best “at this time”.
I’m loving “both” products… but if you are a newbie I would go with IPK.
Here is the deal – both of these products are a “bit” hard to navigate inside the members area. Having had a membership of my own – I know how hard it is to put everything in
logical order that makes sense for every customer. It’s almost impossible.
Both products are video intensive… meaning that the products rely heavily on video teaching. Which is great… but i wish there were more written content that taught along with the
videos.
The one thing about IPK (that BTF hasn’t done yet) is that one of the .pdf documents leads you through the exact process and tells you what to watch or do next.
BTF has a fast start guide – and it’s great – but the real gold nuggets in BTF are harder to ferret out.
Remembering back to when I was first starting out – I fell that I would have gotten much further with IPK.
Also – since I’ve gone through the entire IPK product already – and have used the “system” they teach – I think I could help you keep focused on the learning. All you have to do is Ask!
Since these products are not “cheap” you have to be at a point where you are ready to buckle down and do the work.
I’ve always said that there really is not an “Easy Button” when it comes to internet marketing.
And – not everything you try will work right out of the gate. Persistence and just plain determination is the key.
I am always here to help anyone who is willing to “Get ‘er Done”. :0)
hope this helps Debra
Thanks Debra! That is very helpful.
You’re right, internet marketing is definitely not easy. I learned that with finally getting my e-book up and running. It took a lot more work and time than I imagined. And sales have been less than stellar. I need to try and hunt down some more joint ventures I think.
I’m hoping to make the purchase of IPK in the next two weeks, and I’ll definitely be using your link
I’ve learned so much from your blog and am inspired by how you just keep plugging along!
