Promoting Niche Affiliate Sites

I published my first press release this week.  That feels good. I wrote it to promote one of my niche affiliate sites.  I’ll be interested to watch for results in traffic and search engine placement, but it’s probably a good idea to get another press release going while I watch.

As an update, I did finish creating the 6 niche blogs I wrote about earlier and am now promoting them.  I submitted the RSS feeds to about 40 aggregators and have done a little social bookmarking.  Each has an article in the pipeline to be published on numerous article directiories.  So that’s a start.  I’m getting a trickle of traffic and 1 ebay affiliate sale so far.

I have so many plans for promotion and link building, now it’s time to follow through. The main strategy is to implement Kim Roach’s 10x method from Instant Payday Formula with the articles for each site. So this will include creating a video and a press release, among other things, for each site.

Entering all the sites into the Neurolinker network is also on the list.  This is a backlink network with tons of add ons.  You can do article marketing and social bookmarking through them.  The social bookmarking is automatic, and you can do your sites and other members’ sites, while they bookmark yours.  Pretty cool.

After I get the promotion moving with these recent sites, I have identified 24 more that show great promise.  I said I wanted 50 niche affiliate sites up by June and I can still achieve that.

So, why do fresh clicks for links that I have removed from my sites still show up in the Go Try This database?  The link is no longer on the site so how could someone click it?  I asked this question on their forum once, and didn’t get an answer.  Makes me question the validity of all the data.  But I’m moving to a new system soon, with much better reporting features.  Lots of links to replace, though.

Is it Spring where you are?  It’s gorgeous here in Minnesota these days.

Have a good one everybody!
