Sorry to leave you hanging with the results of the Bring the Fresh vs Info Product Killer Smackdown – it’s been a busy week and I’ve only just had a chance to collate the results.
The Bring the Fresh Results
Bring the Fresh Site 1
Site number 1 started out at p20 for the main keyword and then over the next few weeks bounced down to the 60s. I then added 5 backlinks by adding comments to blogs with high page rank and it climbed back to p20… then to p11 where it sat for a week or so, but today it’s at p10! Hooray – 4 weeks to the Page One of Google.
But Page One isn’t the be all and end all. So what about traffic?
While the site wasn’t ranking high for the primary keyword it was ranking for some long tail terms and over the last month has had just shy of 400 visitors.
Of course the real question is – has it earned any money? And the answer is… YES! I’ve made two sales from this site so that’s one point to Bring the Fresh 
Bring the Fresh Site 2
Site number 2 started out at p25 for the primary keyword and then within 3 days hit p11 – and it’s sat there ever since! I need to do some more backlinks to encourage it to hit page one. The good news is that it’s been sitting at number 5 on Yahoo consistently since the outset so traffic has been flowing.
This site has only had just over 150 visitors in the last month, but it has also made one sale. So that’s two points to Bring the Fresh!
The Info Product Killer Results
Info Product Killer Site 1
The first IPK site has been a flop. It’s had 25 visitors and is no where near the top of the SERPS for it’s main keyword, or any others for that matter.
Worth remembering that the domain and keywords were chosen using BTF strategies so this would suggest that the off page SEO taught by BTF is more important than the on page SEO taught by IPK.
Info Product Killer Site 2
Site 2 is ranking at p79 for the primary keyword but is ranking for several long tail terms. It’s had 167 visitors and has made one sale! So that has to be one point to IPK.
Info Product Killer Site 3 – 4
The other two sites aren’t ranking at any position to write home about and traffic is low. No sales either.
Bring the Fresh vs Info Product Killer Smackdown – RESULT!
So it looks like we have a clear winner in Bring the Fresh…
But wait a minute. Is there a third competitor in this fight?
Introducing a third competitor – Profitzon (Deadbeat Super Affiliate)
Last week I broke the rules and bought another How to Make Money on Amazon product – this one is Dan Brock’s Profitzon [this product is now known as the Deadbeat Super Affiliate].
Now Dan doesn’t focus on on page or off page SEO. He looks at how to write a review that is aimed at the prospect and that encourages high conversion rates. The idea is that if the content is quality then Google will rank it.
Profitzon Site 1
The first site I built is sitting at p31 for the primary keyword and p47 for the secondary. It’s only been live for a week and I have only pointed one backlink at it.
Profitzon Site 2
The second site was built on Wednesday (it’s now Sunday). It is on a dot info domain and it too only has one backlink. It’s a one page site because I didn’t have time to add any more pages.
According to Market Samurai it is sitting at p10 in Google – yes that’s Page One of Google in just 4 days.
But better yet yesterday it had 2 visitors, and one of them brought the product being reviewed! How’s that for conversion?
So let’s try those results again…
Bring the Fresh vs Info Product Killer vs Profitzon (Deadbeat Super Affiliate) Smackdown – RESULT!
I am going to award Bring the Fresh and Profitzon as joint winners of this Smackdown. From here on in I will choose my keywords using the BTF strategy and I will build backlinks using their strategy, but the actual Amazon reviews will be written using the Profitzon (Deadbeat Super Affiliate) rules.
I think these two strategies combined will be the key to success with Amazon.
What about Info Product Killer? I don’t think that the on page SEO is powerful enough to rank the sites, and I don’t think that Craig provides enough information on how to write reviews that convert traffic to buyers. From here on in my on page SEO will be done courtesy of the SEOPressor plugin as I find it easier to check I have the key points covered using the plugin checklist that the IPK complicated method.
So there you have it – the way I make money online with Amazon is to use:
- Bring the Fresh – for keyword research
- Deadbeat Super Affiliate (Profitzon) – for how to write reviews that convert
- SEOPressor – for optimising my reviews
