How to Rank an Amazon Product in Google Revealed...

which leads to ranking internally within Amazon...circle of domination

Below is a live case study and example of how to rank an Amazon product within Google, as well as internally. Once you tend to rank in Google, more traffic and sales create a snowball effect where you eventually dominate within Amazon as well. Two ecosystems for the price of one! SEO has typically been reserved to focus on Google, Yahoo and Bing, but Amazon has amassed a large eco-system over the years. In fact, Google said Amazon is its biggest rival in search But one of the best strategies we've seen in recent years is ranking Amazon products in Google in order to increase traffic, sales, and reviews which creates a positive feedback loop of increasing rankings within Amazon search itself. Google Search Traffic is incredibly targeted. Someone searching for organic coffee, wants to buy it most likely. It's a keyword product with commercial intent. Let's see this example:

Notice this Amazon listing is on page 1 of Google currently. Granted, it’s not #1, but it certainly enjoys at least some buyer traffic each day from this ranking.

Here is the product:

http://www.amazon.com/Camerons-Organic-French-Coffee-32-Ounce/dp/B002ESSASK

The Important Onpage SEO Factors are highlighted including the Title of the Product, description, star rating, # of reviews, and Questions and answers. Google Ranks this ahead of ALL other Organic Coffee products (more on that later), but let’s see how Amazon internally ranks for Organic Coffee.

The Organic Coffe listing in Google is not the same top one within Amazon. There is an Organic Coffee listing with the same star rating, 200 reviews more, ships with Amazon Prime, and is $10 cheaper. Amazon knows all these factors and decides to rank in internally (and rightfully so, it’s better in every metric), but Google continues to rank the other more expensive, less reviewed product. Why is that? It goes back to Google’s search engine algorithm. Google wants to show the most relevant, popular and quality user-experience result. It does this through 3 basic factors (outside of onpage search engine optimization)

1) Backlinks – Bloggers, Forums, Directories, Affiliates, etc. Anyone and everyone linking back to an Amazon page can be seen as a “vote” for this particular product

2) Social network signals – Are people sharing this Amazon product with friends and family? Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Youtube, Google+, Stumbleupon, Linkedin, etc

3) User Metrics – Does the searcher click on the result, and do they stay on the page? This is a huge indicator to Google that the Amazon product listing is valuable. If a searcher doesn’t click, Google knows the headline/title is either irrelevant or boring and starts to show it less and less. Worse, if the result is getting clicked but the product page looks terrible, the searcher may hit the back button and “bounce” right back to Google.

Let’s analyze why this product listing is ranking in Google and not the others

Notice the Domain Authority, 88! Amazon is so highly trusted by Google, that it’s inner pages (product pages) also get the benefit of the doubt. This means you can build more backlinks to your products and social and have a greater impact than if you built your own website and tried to compete. That is the beauty of Amazon SEO, you play within the ecosystem and dominate. Backlinks + Social + User Metrics = your Amazon product will outrank the competition in Google, which in the long run will allow you to rank internally in Amazon.

The Rookie's Guide to Amazon Selling

David Goldman of CNN Money cites that nearly half of the US population has an account on Amazon's Prime, with a phenomenal 51% increase in Prime membership registration. This means that sellers now have access to a higher number of likely buyers. The increased numbers of seller registrations do not come as a surprise.

Creating the Seller Account

The site offers the "individual" and "professional" account options to the registering amazon seller. While the first is appropriate for very small, private owners, it is advisable to register as a professional – especially if one eventually plans to become a fulltime Amazon seller.

According to sales experts, The Selling Family, "Consider[ing] the savings involved, along with the extra features of the pro account, [one]'ll be super motivated to list as many products as [they] can."

Setting Up the Profile

To begin with, pick a business name that is unique, interesting and captures the essence of what the brand is to sell. The firm will also ask for a name and address for their personal reference. Required contact information will allow Amazon to send notifications about orders, updates and other services. Customers will need the information for product and order queries.

The website will also ask for the location where the product is to be shipped from to help customers compare different vendors. Bank account information is necessary for payments made from Amazon after every couple of weeks. Lastly, the seller will have to select where they will ship their products to and if they offer faster shipping.

List the Products

The listing procedure depends highly on whether the seller is vending an entirely new product or one that is already listed. A listed product has fewer steps with just the description, the quantity and shipping methods to be described.

An unlisted product is mostly unavailable in the Amazon marketplace. Listing such a product is a little more time-consuming. The UPC number is the product's unique identity on the marketplace and is issued by Amazon. The SKU number is something you issue to track a shipped order.

The product title, images and search terms must be concise, clear and should match what the customers are most likely to type in to the search bar.

Once the seller asks Amazon for the listings to go live, the website may take about twenty-four hours to process the request before the products are displayed to the customers.

Selling the Products

Vendors who are selling original products do not have to worry about competition. If their products are truly in demand, they will gather conversions, eventually.

However, most sellers are likely to sell products that are already available on Amazon. Consequently, they will face a lot of competition. The thing to remember is that the seller with the highest listing is likely to be given the Buy Box.

Amazon's Buy Box is amongst the best ways to beat out the competition. It is granted to only the best vendor selling one kind of product and generates about eighty-two percent of the total sales on the website. It comes as no surprise that the competition for this box is stiff. Only the seller with the best price, great keywords, high quality profile and stellar content management is likely to be placed on this pedestal.

Shipping to the Customers

Sellers can ship products via their own methods but Amazon's Fulfillment service is highly recommended.

According to online tech analyst Risha J., FBA has grown a 100% with international buyers and has seen 50% seller growth. She says that the FBA service gives the seller time to focus more on their business strategies because it leaves the shipping and post-shipping commotions and squabbles to Amazon. Moreover, customers are more likely to buy form the sellers using FBA because they trust the Amazon brand more than individual vendors on the website. Moreover, Amazon has big plans for FBA in the future, looking to replace delivery giants, like FedEx and DHL, in the global market.

Building a Strong Rating

Once the seller gets the hang of how to operate on Amazon, they can focus on building their brand.Successful selling on Amazon requires close contact and interactions with customers, especially those that leave behind negative reviews. A sincere follow-up may lead to them changing their rating to a positive one.

It may be hard for a newbie to get going on Amazon in the beginning but once they get the flow, they will discover that it is not as complex as it looks.

Profitable Affiliate Marketing Program: Amazon Affiliate

Are you thinking about affiliate marketing from blog or e-commerce website? If you are then what will be your best choice to do so? Do you know "Amazon Affiliation" is the first choice for the marketers for affiliate marketing? Because amazon has huge range of products. From books to electronics, groceries to agricultural, fashion, medicine, food even adult products are found here. In fact amazon is the most trusted name for online shopping. You can easily create a niche website for amazon's various products. And the conversion or sales rate is comperatively higher than any other affiliate program. Amazon pays once a month. The commission rate varies from 4% to 15% depends on products. It seems to be lower than any other program like clickbank but imagine you are selling a camera which is of $3000 and the camera is sold for ten times in a month. What will be your earning after that month. This is the most interesting part of amazon affiliate program.

Why Amazon Affiliation :

The first reason is people trust amazon. You may get commission on whole basket as an affiliate blogger. Suppose you are promoting cellphone by your blog. A buyer came to amazon through your affiliate link and he bought a camera instead of cellphone. What will happen than? Who will get commission for that camera? The answer is, you will get that commission. Because he came to amazon by your reference. So the entire amazon site becomes your referral .

Again many people become habituate to buy from amazon. It is another important way to increase commission rate from amazon. The competition per product is comparatively low from any other affiliate program. Almost all products excepts electronics products are low competitive.

Another advantage of amazon affiliation is, you will find exact keyword for your products. There are many buyers who finds product name through search engine. They try to find out the best selling products. For keyword research you can use google keyword planner. Find out exact keywords and make a website with those. Then create some backlinks. You will see the results.

How To Start :

First create an account in amazon associate. Then find out the products which you want to promote. Always do this manually. Before you select products, I recommend you to view the commission rate chart for every category.

If you can analyse the following three key methods and work according to them, you will surely succeed in amazon affiliation.

How To Select A Product To Promote :

First select a product that you can write about. You know nothing about the product but select it for only high commission rate, you will not get anything from that. Because people will buy  anything based on your writing. Try to place related keyword in your writing. This will give you visitors or buyers from organic search.

How To Create Highly Convertible Website :

Create a set of products based on public demand. Try to do it unconventionally. Use keyword tool to find buyer keywords. Keyword research is very important and helpful for conversion.

Increase Click Through Rate :

Always select daily needed products. Public demand should be kept in your mind always. Suppose : Chocolate, It has expiry date of one month only. If you select it and someone see it after it's expiry date and want to buy through your affiliate link. When he visits amazon finds nothing. What will happen then. You will lost your reputation. This will spoil your affiliate marketing career. Most importantly find such a product which will be converted within 24 hours.

Affiliate marketing is the most proven method to earn money online. And amazon is the most trusted program. If you want to be a successful amazon affiliate marketer, you have to learn the techniques of marketing. Because amazon's rules are very strict. So you have to go by book.
