Altho I am the creator of an Amazon wordpress plugin I also focus on Adsense as I do find it nice to have an second source but i also find that looking at the stats I earn more with adsense per click then with Amazon.

As far as product names, I know your probably right about running into problems at some point, but it may be some here some there. Ill be launching soooo many that I dont think it will make a huge impact when I lose one here and there. But again, Ill just have to test it and see how it goes.

But my theory on it is…when people go shopping and find a pair of “name brand” jeans (just for example) in a retail shop and say whoa! those are way too expensive but i REALLY want them. Then they are going to come home and look them up online and type in that “brand name” to get a better deal. And thats where ill be at…waiting to capture that crowd and send them off to amzon where most likely it will be a lot cheaper than in retail.

Hey Kasey…if you make sites on product names you will eventually run into problems, it’s inevitable :/ I ran into trouble and since decided not to bother with those anymore since I’m at a point in my kw research where I can find other profitable non-brand name kw’s easy enough.

BTW, when I put up my CB snipers, I also put up my content/aff links immediately and encountered no sandboxing..my sites were indexed within a week and many ranked first/second page off the bat..had great success with it.

No recommendation on software, I build everything by hand using wordpress. Then promote my sites via RSS feeds and pingfm thats about it. I use RSSbot for RSS feeds, but I dont really do anything else. By optimizing my sites on the way I launch them it pretty much will get me to page 1 or top of page 2 right away when I add the content after indexing.

If you follow Mikeman on what hes done with adsense im sure it will work with amzon but no one has done this yet (as far as we know), so its to be determined.

Again, im not sure but ive heard other people say this is a common occurance. For example, I saw a video from Joel Comm where he talks about when he was testing the Yahoo network and took off adsense from one of his sites, his traffic plummeted by half. Then he took yahoo off and added back adsense and his traffic started going back up.

I wait because you can pass the sandbox filters much easier that way and also rank higher right away. In case you don’t know what sandboxing is…sometimes go0gle will NOT let a site rank well right away because they “sandbox” the site and you have to wait between 3 weeks to 6 months for them to trust you enough to let your site out and rank for keywords on your site. Although they will not admit to this, they also will not deny it. But after launching many sites and testing. I know it exists.

So if you launch a wordpress blog with no content. There is nothing to sandbox. Just add it after you have been indexed and it does much better in the beginning. Just my opinion, and it’s only my opinion because of my personal testing and experiences. Others may have different results.

Hey Thomas, last time I checked I hadn’t seen any new searches leading to the new pages…but I’m sure in time and with more backlinks it will help..

And if anyone gets through to those pages, it’s going to be through either the inner page keyword ranking for the keyword its targeting, or for it ranking for long tail variations.

Ya.. I’ve personally found after making 150 sites that the sandbox talk and holding off on adding adsense is a bunch of nonsense. I have always put up my adsense code as soon as the site goes up…some of my sites get indexed next day, others within 3 days, others 5-7 days at the latest…but no sandboxing occurs.
