Wearing Myself Straight Out
Riddle me this: What happens when an affiliate marketer decides to build a relatively small niche site, and then has the brilliant idea to sort said niche into teeny-tiny bite sized pieces for ease of navigation?
You get a very worn out nicher. I’ve been working for days on one teeny-tiny site that has ballooned into a rediculously large project. There isn’t even any content yet; I’m still sorting into sub groups, sub-sub-groups and sub-sub-sub groups.
On the upside, I seem to have discovered how to load html files to my host in such a way that it actually publishes the page. *gasp*
I’m pathetically pleased with this accomplishment, since until now I’ve only managed to build sites with WordPress and BANS. There may be more on this at a later date as I make my fledgeling attempts at building landing and squeeze pages.
I went through the exact same process with a BANs site of mine… It took me three weeks just to sort out the category matrix, and naming the cats and sub-cats based on my keyword research in Wordtracker…
What a mess… but the end result was well worth the wait. Having sub-cats and sub-sub-cats invites Google to do deep indexing, and that is the stuff longevity is made out of regarding organic traffic…
I’m looking forward to hearing some more as you go along…

Hi Elijah, thanks for stopping by! I haven’t posted since this post because I’m still working on that site. That, and another huge project sprung up, and that one actually has a deadline. Hopefully I’ll be back and posting more often soon.
And thanks for the info on the deep indexing- I never knew what that meant. I guess that means I’m doing a good thing, huh?
