Wordpress for content EMD sites?
- Thread starter Shogun24
- Start date
I have pretty good Ruby and Rails experience, used to dabble with PHP however upgraded to Rails a couple months ago. I've yet to launch a website because I've yet to find the opportune reason (as in my first EMD site), and I've yet to use Wordpress. I was unsure of the method.
Thank you for responding. It's to my understanding that most people here use Wordpress right? And I feel like a lot of people have Wordpress blogs that know nothing about coding.
I've never understood the whole fascination with EMDs. I'm an established Amazon affiliate and have no problems ranking sites that are non-EMD. TBH, when you look around the Internet at the heavy hitters in ANY niche, how many are EMD domains?
Add to the fact that you want to mass produce them and you have (as someone else mentioned) a recipe for disaster. I use Wordpress exclusively because it allows me the flexibility to do some real cool things. However, I stick with brandable domains that people will remember and want to come back to.

EMDs are supposedly "easier" to rank. This being the newbie section, easiness is a factor I guess.
The effectiveness has definitely been eroded over the last year. What's more important is targeting terms that are low-comp. I can spin up a non-EMD Amazon review site (on WP0, add 10 reviews, and have most of them ranking on page one of Google (and earning commissions) within 2 weeks and I can do it without backlinking. It really doesn't get any easier than that.
The best part is that while my competition is busy buying EMD domains, installing WP or whatever platform they use, and chasing after "do-follow" backlinks, I'm already making money.
Newbies would be much better-served targeting less-competitive terms and profiting from them rather than wasting money on EMDs that nobody is every going to come back to on their own.
I bought your product and will review it for other members on this forum. Hopefully it's worth more than the $14 I paid.
Thanks. Let me know if you have any questions. What you see in that guide is what I am doing to be successful. It's probably much different than what you see in other eBooks on the topic. To be honest, I think that's why I'm so successful - I'm doing things that the masses aren't.
Let me know if there is any info that you need that isn't in the guide. I'm always looking to improve.
