As I mentioned before, right now is about building that traffic there in the first place, the sales will come. Luckily one of the 4 sales this month has been for a $3,000 watch so that was an easy $40 or so.

Many of the posts on CFG have no affiliate links, and the ones that do are pretty natural about it. Just make sure your affiliate links are appropriate….nobody wants a spammed up site.

I think if you kept blogging about this niche, it's going to convert really well for 2 reasons: 1. The products presented on ebay have a wide price range(to suite everyone), which means that ppl will buy them easily. 2. You have almost free traffic, so there's no cost for you. When I created my BMW E36 Blog, I had no idea about affiliate marketing (like I do now), so I've been creating many posts without using any affiliate links. What a shame!. Now, I'm trying to put as many links as I can hoping that it will give me a better income. Thank you David for the reply.

Majority of traffic is through organic and referral so far. 2) AdWords has been cheap so far, I've spent around $10, with about 60 clicks. I have to setup some sort of better tracking to see if any of those are converting though as I'm unsure. 3) I will keep blogging about the niche. 4) There is no carbon fiber offer that I'm using. I'm finding and writing the content, and for what I can using affiliate links to sell those products. You mean a couple of a couple questions :)

Are you using Google adwords to bring traffic to that blog (traditional affiliate marketing) or you rely on organic traffic? 2. If you're using Adwords, how much profit did you make? i.e, What is the cost of the adwords. 3. If you're relying on organic traffic, are you intending to keep blogging about this niche? or you will leave the blog as it is? 4. How did you test the carbon fiber offer to make sure it will convert? I'm asking these questions because I've tried your method before using Google Adwords and it simply didn't make me any profit. The cost was almost the same as the sales. Hi David,

I have couple questions I hope you answer regarding your Carbon Fiber Blog (CFB):

1. Are you using Google adwords to bring traffic to that blog (traditional affiliate marketing) or you rely on organic traffic?

2. If you’re using Adwords, how much profit did you make? i.e, What is the cost of the adwords.

3. If you’re relying on organic traffic, are you intending to keep blogging about this niche? or you will leave the blog as it is?

4. How did you test the carbon fiber offer to make sure it will convert?

I’m asking these questions because I’ve tried your method before using Google Adwords and it simply didn’t make me any profit. The cost was almost the same as the sales.

I would have not expected that the ebay tracking cookie gets you the additional items. By the way - the Adsense ads on the blog are kind of funny. A "Spyware" cookie cleaner and an ad for "Edmunds.com" and a BMW M3. Interesting results. I would have not expected that the ebay tracking cookie gets you the additional items.
