[GET] UBT System - Easy Affiliate Commissions With My Set-and-Forget SEO Strategy

[moonbeam]

Thank you for sharing this. I was considering doing something very similar with some Amazon affiliate sites I am working on, but was hesitant to do so because I wasn't sure if it would actually bring in much traffic or not. It's good to hear that the method has worked for you.

I'll add a few suggestions, if you're building your site in Wordpress and trying to do something like this, since I encountered some unexpected problems while trying to make thousands of pages in bulk in WP.

First off, if you are on a basic shared hosting plan with a company such as Bluehost, do not attempt to bulk upload thousands of pages all at once. You'll have to break them up into smaller batches and do one batch at a time. Otherwise Wordpress will just crap out on you and only partially create the list of pages/posts in the bulk sheet. What's even worse is it's a mess trying to clean all that up and start over, so back up your site before attempting this. I've found that I can't do more than 1000 posts/pages at a time on my basic hosting plan with Bluehost.

Also, you will want to plan out carefully ahead of time as to how you want your posts catgegorized. It's a nightmare trying to move them all into different categories within the Wordpress interface after the fact. And depending on which bulk uploading plugin you are using, you may need to bulk create all the categories first, then create your posts.

Speaking of posts vs. pages, for whatever reason, posts seem to be more efficient in terms of page load times. So I would suggest adding all of these as posts instead of pages. Also, you may need to change your permalink structure to one of the first three options instead of that last one - since it's much more resource intense. I've noticed that once I did get the 20,000 or so city posts all into my site, the page load times were horrendous. Uploading them as posts and using the third permalink option instead helped out a bit.

You should also consider how you're going to update all these pages down the road, should you need to do so (such as tweaking the copy on them). In particular, if you were using the last permalink option, some bulk uploading plugins will instead create new pages instead of updating the existing ones. If you try to delete all the previous pages, make sure you empty out your trash, otherwise the new pages may just become duplicates instead of replacing the old ones. For example, if you deleted a page/post with the URL of "http://www.yoursitehere.com/flat-screen-tvs/visio-tvs" and it's still in your trash bin, when you try to create a new page with that same title, it will just append the Wordpress slug with a "-2" or "-3" so your new page will have a URL such as "http://www.yoursitehere.com/flat-screen-tvs/visio-tvs-2". The reason being, the original page is still in the trash bin, and theoretically could be restored, unless it's permanently deleted. So if you're trying to delete and create new posts in bulk, you can wind up with tons of broken backlinks and internal links that were trying to point to the old page instead of the new one with the different slug.

I actually scraped all the US city and state data from city-data.com a few months ago using the SEOTools plugin for Excel. I'll see if I can find the spreadsheet, and if so, I'll share it here.

I can vouch for this method, i sold a site in September to a lo9cal business in the US for $XXXX.XX that i had build in January targeting garden-fountains in cities of a certain state and used a shareasale merchant, the site was build with SERP Shaker that will take a lot of the hard work out of your hands.

If you ad a cloaker to it you can redirect the traffic directly to your offers (don't do this with amazon though it gets your shit banned), you can really make a fortuin with this

Yes it will work with web 2.0 properties if done by had, how ever you have the risk of getting deleted, (especially when you're in the pills/health niche) i would recommend you buy a domain (you can get a .xyz for 99 cents at namecheap) and get some free hosting if money is that tight, build the site by hand and go from there.

Hope that helps you out

Works very well with free Wordpress blogs (Wordpress.com) Yes the same content for everything, just change the city/state names in content and title.

Also works targeting foreign languages too e.g Portuguese targeting Brazil

Say you wanted to promote Goji Berry as an affiiate you would create pages for each city in Brazil. Google gives you the real searches which you have as your title of each page:

onde comprar goji berry em

which means.. where to buy goji berry in



Google only show a few searches but if they show just a handful of cities it means searches are being made in EVERY city in Brazil. You'd be amazed how much traffic you can get doing this.

What I do is I use Google Translate for adding a bit of content to each page (doesn't have to be more than a few lines) and then I find a list of every city in Brazil. Wikipedia is the best https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_la..._in_Brazil
Then I go through the list 80+ cities.

And you can promote Amazon products too but I dont bother as the commissions are too low for my liking. I prefer to make at least $25 commission per sale.

Assia, thanks for the interesting share. Is that possible to see some sample site? There is no samples in pdf. Thanks.

Thanks moonbeam good advice there!

I don't want to give out current sites/niches but if anyone wants to see one of my very first sites (Garcinia Cambogia) I created PM me and I'll send you the URL which has a free tracker so you can see the live traffic. With this one I was literally getting Google/Yahoo traffic a few hours after I registered a domain and got the pages indexed via GWT as I was still creating the pages.

Dutch Harry and asiaa. Thank you for replying back to my questions. Both +5 rep. I am planning to use my sub domains to give it a test. I have another question. Aren't google will penalize you for duplicate content on the same domain only changing cities and states? asiaa I would like to see that sample site. Can you pm me the link please? Thanks!

Hi Asiaa, for some reason I can't see PM button on your profile. I am able to see it on everyone's profile but you. Could you PM me your URL with free tracker? Thank you in advance!
