The Content Rich Store

This web page answers an important question...

If you want a content rich store that attracts free traffic from the search engines then you are in the right place.

The question was posed on our online store training page:

"Where do I find quality information for free to attract free traffic to my online store?"

If your store pages are just selling products and are completely void of any real content... Well, let's see here. How shall we put this?

Got it! Here's the perfect illustration.

Have you ever seen one of those deserted ghost towns in an old western movie where there is nothing to see but an occasional tumble weed?

No More Tumbleweeds

Old western ghost towns are poor because they have no traffic. There are no people passing through them. Don't let this be the case with your online store.

You want your online store to be like a bustling metropolis with high rise buildings that cannot go up fast enough because the population is increasing by the hour.

I like the second illustration much better than the first one, don't you?

Let Me Save You Some Time...

Your time is valuable and so is mine, so let me save you some time on the whole content issue for your online store. There are websites where authors would love for you to take their well-written articles that had to meet editor approval even before it was displayed on the Internet. These authors would love for you to copy and paste their articles into your content rich store's web pages.

You may be thinking that this is too good to be true, but I will give you a personal example. Click HERE to see an article that I would love for you to copy and paste into your own content rich store's web pages. At the bottom of the article, there is a link where it says "Publish this Article."

When you click on that link, it will display the HTML code that you would copy and paste as the content for your web pages in your online store. If you put two and two together, so to speak, it shouldn't take long before you eventually realize how fast you can setup a content rich store.

With me so far?

Great.

The Beauty of the "Back Link"

Incidentally, if you are wondering why authors would take the time to write high quality articles that must meet editor's approval just to give it away for free, then trust me on this one. There is something in it for the author as well as the editor's website.

It is called a back link.

In other words, in the author's bio at the bottom of the article, there is a link back to the author's website of choice.

Pretty cool, eh?

Well, that's how it works. You put an author's article in your content rich store for free, and that author can receive free traffic back to their own website.

There are a bazillion articles out there all waiting for you to paste them into your web pages, and each one is hoping that you will take them for free.

What About "Duplicate Content?"

You may be concerned about the possible "consequences" of picking the exact same article that someone else is already using on their website because of the whole duplicate content issue. Don't worry too much, because the people who work for the search engines know all about article marketing.

They fully understand that article marketing is a legitimate way for authors to develop high quality content for publishers, and beyond that you shouldn't lose any sleep about it. Just follow the terms of use that are set forth by any given article website, and you'll do just fine.

One Hand Washes the Other

It's just like one hand washing the other. Of course, if you decide to leave the author's link out and use their content anyway, that is called plagiarism and copyright infringement and fines and all kinds of problems.

In addition to all that, it's just not right.

So don't even think about it. Abide with the terms of service and as every music teacher says, "Every Good Boy Does Fine."
(This is true for the girls, too.)

Once again, the affiliate synergy concept is a beautiful one, but if you don't get any traffic to your websites, we can safely predict that you will not get any sales either.

Not only that but the Google AdSense will not admit you into their affiliate program if you are going to try to display their ads on web pages that are void of content.

In Summary

We have also discussed where you can find lots of fresh content for free so that you can "stock up" your online store. We have touched upon the guidelines regarding the use of other people's work and how it can benefit all parties concerned.

We have touched upon other issues as well, but here's the bottom line: There is just one thing standing between you and your online store, and that, my friend, is time.

(At first, I was going to say a pot of coffee. Don't ask.)

Seriously...

Even if you are able to select your articles quickly, it is still going to take you time to copy/paste the HTML code of 100 articles into the content fields of your site. It is easy work, but it will take you at least a couple hours if you are selective.

Equipped with this information, you are on your way to start building a content rich store on the Internet.
