Hi Ilya,

Not sure of the word count, but all my posts for the case study site are between 500 – 4000 words. The general informational posts are 500 – 700+ words. The in-depth reviews 1000+ words and the top 5 / top 10 posts 2000 – 4000 words.

The reason why I can submit that much content is because I outsource pretty much all of it.
Working directly with companies are a great way to connect and benefits both you and the company itself. I got approached by another company yesterday… they are sending me a sample to try out. No better way to review a product then to try it…

Thank you,
Vicky

Very cool Vicky!

How much total content do you have on the site?

It seems that posting a ton of stuff, so it must be at least hundred thousand words if not more.

Are you taking the quantity over length of content approach are you still creating 3 to 4 posts per week that are 1000 to 2000 words long? If so, that is the lot of content in one week!

I’ve never actually thought about reaching out to other companies and asking them if I can get a free product for review, which is weird because when you have an established site like ours it makes sense that other companies would want to promote their products on it.

Anyway, congratulations on a great month!

Hi Derek,

Thank you,
I have a feeling though that a lot of companies that can choose between two categories will go with the higher commission one to attract affiliates… I’ve seen it with a few products already and that would of course be great!

This is a case study and this was kind of the whole point, to show the ups AND the downs… how to deal with it and move forward… It does stink a little when you come from the high of the holiday season, your site is dropping and then amazon make a change that will impact earnings in probably a negative way.

BUT we have to ask ourselves what can we learn from this?

This is absolutely not the end of the world and I’m still very excited for the future. I’m positive this site will bounce back and have it’s best month yet during year 3, can’t wait to see what this site can deliver.

How are things going for you and your site Derek?

Looks like you are doing well still, that’s awesome.
I have a feeling that a lot of the companies that can choose between two different commission categories will go with the higher one, just to get the affiliates to stick with it…

I will let you know how the giveaway goes for sure,
