Linking to them from multiple PR-4's and 3's. Article submission. Etc. blah, blah. It didn't help. They were still ignored by Google. I dumped them and moved on to .com domains for WP and XSP sites with a few SS stores hanging off to the side in a folder. I tried energizing all 25 of mine.

I am trying to get into affiliate marketing more with CB and Amazon. I have never had a lot of luck in this area because of time constraints. And building self-hosted blogs takes so much time and money that I find I start to ignore them. I just purchased Frank's Blog Content Wizard recently and I like what it does. This would work great with SS and Link Luv . I too got burnt on the .infos . Now they just sit there. But if I could re-energize them with the tools you mention here, who knows maybe I could make sometime out of lemons? Store Stacker looks like a good choice for automation.

I don't see how that would rank well... and if it did, it would get banned/removed soon from the SERPs. Honestly, the thin affiliate site strategy does not seem viable these days... but if it's still working for you, more power to ya. With the amount of time/money it takes to build up a site that will do well in the Search Engines, I could not see wasting time on junky thin sites. Is BMD 4 that good? The old version posted to a bunch of junk Scuttle sites that have already been spammed to hell by others. Most of the bookmarked links didn't count for much. I've been following your blog for a while. This post has to be about the worse advice I've seen. It looks like you are moving in the wrong direction. Sorry for the negative comment but I'm just calling it like I see it. Splork,

It's the Smarty system. I can only do a few mods before I end up screwing the template up. I love the execution. For what you end up with, it's pretty easy. All I know is I am trying to spread my sites around. WP, XSP, Storestacker, Blogger with Ebay widgets... anything to diversify and stay interested in the game. It's the little things. I built a quick Blogger blog, dropped the Ebay widget on there for a toy product, wrote an article and posted it. I went to AMA and wrote a quick bullshit article on the toy and submitted it. Total time: maybe an hour. 2 weeks later I have two Ebay sales. It does not get any easier than that. Yep some of the templates are awful. It’s the Smarty system.

Admittedly, I'm a bit of a customization freak, but the stacker templates are just awful. Would it kill them to create a few standards-compliant, properly-SEO'd templates? Perhaps I'm mistaken on this, but I was under the impression that stacking eBay products with Overstock products was a violation of their TOS. I've avoided the combination for that reason. I'll have to look into that further. Shaun I love the concept of StoreStacker, but I hate the execution. Admittedly, I’m a bit of a customization freak, but the stacker templates are just awful.

Most of the articles I submit to the system I would imagine to be of little value today. That doesn't mean as all those blogs start aging and getting indexed, they won't be of value later on. I like AMA for two reason: populating my blogs with fresh articles that I can completely control and a place to distribute my articles. My first article that I submitted to AMA has now been distributed close to 300 times. It keeps being distributed as new blogs come into the system. So yea those blogs are new. But each day they get a little age under them which will only help everyone involved. I’d say a good majority of the blogs are new.

But, do you think that the backlinks from the articles you posted to AMA are going to be of value as I guess most of the blogs in their network are quite new?
