    If you can model and study people have done it successfully yes. Why repeat the same mistakes others have already? That's not to say you shouldn't do new things, but success leaves clues.

    Realistically? 1-2 years minimum and putting in many hours. If you have development experience that is good as many bloggers don't and do understand how to automate and make their site look good and functional.

    Do you have your niche determined? That's the first step. IMHO I think you need more than 6 months and 2 hours/day of time to be successful.

    Get Google Tag Manager installed on their site ASAP. It will allow you to install things without requiring a developer to do it and can manage marketing metrics on the site. The insurance company must have some way to do this, otherwise don't send it to the corporate site. If the insurance...

    Oh boy here it goes. I sold my business 2 years ago. It was an affiliate marketing blog and sold it for $6M (see other threads on here by me for more detail). I think I have some clue about digital marketing, affiliate marketing, SEO and CRO. I think many businesses need help in said spaces...

    You are saying one physical location? That's very unusual to see this happen. Usually, a home page lacks the content needed to rank for a keyword like this, but don't know specifics with your page content and the competing pages. Obviously, the home page lacks a CTA so people buy the product...

    More previous years. While helpful somewhat it isn't as important as it used to be. What more important is the TLD extension (ie. .com via .xyz), how long the domain is registered for and how long ago the domain was registered.

    I would say a combination of making sure we cover all aspects of the topic in question. Regardless of if they are transactional or not. Second then also make sure you have the "money" pages that are transactional as well.

    No I make sure I'm covering all aspects of search, from top of funnel to further down closer to the sale. Your content should then reflect this. The example I always use is the difference between "what is a mortgage" and "best mortgage rate" the intent is much different. The content should...

    I've always focused on the content first since you have control over this. This includes UX/UI issues. Only then do I approach backlinks. Getting those backlinks isn't so easy. That's a topic into itself. What I can say create content and research that helps others so they would want to share...

    Well I think there's multiple questions you have to ask yourself, some you've already asked. - Why would someone link to your product pages? - What content can you create better or different than others? - Can you create recipes on how to cook the various 'vegan cheeses' - Can you create...

    Then the chances of you ranking for it are low. You don't have the domain authority or amount of backlinks to the article. I would go a different route. Either go for longer tailed keywords for that product like: specific version/model/color/attribute OR Go solution based keyword searches -...

    Amazon Associates announces cuts in payouts

    Amazon has announced its Associates program is cutting payouts in many categories. In some cases over a 50% cut! @MJ DeMarco has mentioned affiliate programs breaks one of the Cardinal rules in business — lack of control. Which I agree with but no business model is perfect. Though if you do...

    Let me add your average revenue per visitor is around $0.07. Really low IMHO even for your niche and I think it's under-monetized. At that rate you could almost put up ad banners to make the same or more money.

    As someone who has sold an affiliate blog for $6M in 2018 I know a thing or two about affiliate site valuations. Your evaluation at that income level is 3-5x TTM. More than likely on the low side of 3x OR around $350k valuation. Unless you have some unique value adds. Though for most buyers it...

    I haven't done a locations based site. What I can say from others is it depends upon the keyword volume. If something is location based (ie plumber) then you better designed your site so people can find you based upon the location first. If a location is a low end search then I wouldn't designed...

    In my Full-Time Blogger course, I talked about this. 55% to 80% of all traffic is from organic search still. So if you focus on paid you can do well, but missing a big audience. My suggestion is the multi-prong approach.
