Thank you very much for the advice. I already own several candle domain names that are a couple of years old … which unfortunately, I have not used very wisely at all.

I set them up like a normal “dumb” network marketer, and focused primarily on telling people about the business opportunity. “Candle Business” only has about 50 searches … and I’d be willing to bet that a fair percentage of those are people who are already doing what I do; searching to see what other people’s websites look like.

For 2008, my candle sites are going to get a whole lot more generic, and a whole lot more focused on targeting specific key words.

I am planning to try the AutoSocialPoster plugin. But, BookMarkingDemon and BloggerGenerator look a little too “sneaky” for my tastes.

Looking forward to learning more from you in the New Year.

Catch up with you again soon.

Last Month Searches:

candles: 146998
scented candle: 26958

These are just 2 keywords and you already are at 150k searches now this goes for US Google only so if you add the rest of the organic traffic and all the keyword combination you are easily looking at 2.5 million searches. Now many of the same things I teach for niche blogs apply to your commerce site. Try to go for 2 specific keywords now the most searched is candles and in first place in Google is Yankee Candle it is a PR6 but a way week PR6 so you can actually go for position one. Now I would use a combination of the tools I mention at BU to try to get as many links as possible with anchored text then go on a link run on the d-list try to find craft blogs and go deep in the archives and find solid post that actually have a PR the higher the better.

Now that is one way, second way go and buy a pre-owned domain with solid pr like I talk about and work it backwards. The important thing is that the basics apply not only to blogs but also to any site you just have to make some modifications.

To your success buddy.
