Since the last update, things have been moving along quite nicely. First, the progress!
- I have added two more amazon sites, making the total to 8. 42 more to go!
- I got my FIRST sale from the first batch of newly created sites (site 4). These domains were registered 2 weeks ago with no content and backlinks. Now, it is making sales. Who says you can't make money with new sites?
- I have spotted another 2 niches. Domains have been purchased but the sites are not built yet so I didn't put them here in the table below.
- Good news is 7 out of the 8 sites have started to receive search engine traffic. That is quite nice given that most sites are less than 2 to 1 week ago. Anyway, you can check out the numbers below.
Site | Niche | Created | Cost | Monthly Earnings | Monthly Visitors | Type |

How many backlinks to rank a niche site
I will have a separate post on this topic but I want to note here that I have been experimenting wtih different backlink services to see what is the minimal to start getting search engine traffic. I don't care which keyword I am ranking for. As long as the backlinks can give the site enough PR to start drawing search engine traffic, I am good.
This is why you see different cost of building the sites above. This is mainly due to the different backlink services I am trying. Some are more expensive than others hence the price differentiation.
Once I have more data, I will create a post on the different backlinking services you can consider for your amazon sites.
