    Fitness Superstore Copied My Site

    Posted in: General

    Whilst checking up on the rankings of my sites I came across a site which I hadn’t seen before which was similar to one of mine, I clicked through and was surprised to see that it was pretty much identical to mine, “You Cheeky Affiliate!” I thought, so I went to Nominet to check who had registered the domain and was surprised to see it was Bodypower Sports Plc, I’m already aware of them as I’d ordered stuff from them before myself.

    To be honest I’m not too bothered about it, I actually find it funny that a company with a £19m turnover have to resort to copying sites.

    Here’s the evidence: (click image to enlarge)

    My Site
    Bowflex Dumbbells


    Fitness Superstore Footer


    My Footer

    You can see it’s an exact copy of the layout of my site, the menu layout, the image names are the same, it has the same YouTube video and best of all the footer is worded exactly the same as mine, which I worded myself.

    So even the big boys copy other sites, thank you Fitness Superstore / Bodypower Sports Plc

    January 2012 Earnings Round-up

    Posted in: Affiliate Marketing

    No not mine, but everyone elses, I thought I’d make a post showing who’s earning what around the web!

    These are all from either blogs I like to read or have come across their income reports via Twitter RT’s. It’ll also probably be useful to these affiliates to show them how well they are doing against others as well as making people aware of others who are trying to make a living online.

    Because I’m in the UK I’m going to list the figures as GBP and as far as I’m aware these figures are gross income.

    Pat – £39,583 (WOOF!)
    Matt – £15,552
    Spencer – £1459 (Not all sites)
    Tom – £1187
    Alan – £876
    Joe – £745
    Adem – £430

    If you know of any more please do leave a comment so we can check them out too :)

    Another Niche Site For Sale – Arsenal Fans?

    Posted in: Niche Sites

    I’m looking to sell on this nice little niche site in the Gift Experience sector, one for the Arsenal Fans maybe?

    There are two sites in this sale, EmiratesStadiumTour.co.uk and also Emirates-Stadium-Tour.co.uk

    The first site appears at number 3 in Google, and quite often flits between position 1 and 3.

    The income from the sites has been as follows:
    2008 – £1226.49 (inc PPC)
    2009 – £1275.04 (inc PPC)
    2010 – £590.14 (NO PPC)
    2011 – £403.12 (NO PPC)

    I was trying to figure out why the earnings were so high in the first two years then I remembered I use to have them on Adwords!

    One of the sites uses Easy Content Units and the other is just affiliate links added in the code, both sites are pure HTML sites.

    These are the traffic stats for emiratesstadiumtour: (over 300 uniques so far in Jan 2012)

    The emirates-stadium-tour site gets around 20+ uniques a month, so as you can see the main site is the non hyphenated version.

    So all in all and with 4 years proven income I’m looking for £500 for the site.

    Any questions just ask :)

    How another Niche Site did in 2011

    Posted in: Niche Sites

    In February I bought five adult toy sites for £700, one of those was Magic Wand Vibrator

    It took me a few months to transfer the sites to my own hosting and also transfer the affiliate links to my own so the sites were probably up and running around the end of March, so I’d say they have had 9 months of making me income, I’ve actually done nothing to these sites other than changing the affiliate links to my own and a tiny bit of on page SEO.

    Magic Wand Vibrator has made £801.22 in 9 months, this is a keyword that Google Keyword Tool only shows as having 320 exact match local searches, proof again that you don’t need high exacts to make a bit of money!

    In total those five sites have made £974.83 in the 9 months they have been up, so it seems it wasn’t a bad investment after all.
