I want to build up some ideas here, with your help, as to how to market a WordBay niche site.
For now I will just give a few ideas from my experience:
- ensure you have a sitemap plugin that is letting Google know about your site.
- make sure you have some backlinks. You might also think about becoming active on a relevant forum and including signature links. DO NOT spam though, you are far more likely to get visitors if you prove to be a valuable contributor to the forum.
- sit back and wait for search traffic. Google especially tends to send specific product name searches, you can expect a few of these per day at the very least, with high likelihood of clickthrough.
- include WordBay eBay listings on an existing site or domain and make sure the listings are of relevant products.
- If your site is very good in design and appealing to visitors, consider Pay Per Click advertisement.
Yes, I’ve wondered about this. I have a feeling that for most sites the return on investment would be too small, but I don’t know…?
I mean, if my EPC (actually meaning per hundred clicks) is, say, $5 and I am paying $0.20 per click, I am paying $20 to earn $5!
So we need to find a niche with very low click price but high EPC! I am not sure if there are many of those, but maybe I am thinking the wrong way!
