Site Got Killed in the Recent Update. Can This Possibly save It ?
Site Got Killed in the Recent Update. Can This Possibly save It ?
This is not a rant post. Let’s discuss something that could get us out of this HCU mess.
I’ve observed that actual ecom listings are getting ranking boosts in these last few updates and Amazon itself is ranking at 1st position for keywords that were earlier dominated by affiliate blogs… That’s where I get this Idea from.
What If I create an Affiliate Ecom site. I would list products like an normal ecommerce store but the links would point to my affiliate programs. Does that kind of thing works or could work ?
This way I would also have more room for diversifying my traffic sources and having branded traffic.. things that I think would become necessary for bloggers to survive in coming years.
Google has been hammering my Niche based affiliate site from August but this recent update was just the final nail in the coffin. I get it, I relied way too much on building topical authority and It has become something that can easily be duplicated now with little time, effort and money. But what’s next ??
This blog was my only source of income and seo is the only skill that I’ve. I really wanna vent how unfair this update has been but that ship has sailed.
Seeing all these posts and comments by og bloggers leaving blogging and saying farewell has scared the sh*t out of me.. I don’t want to invest years of my life Again learning, failing and trying something new now !!
All thoughts and Ideas are welcome.
