7 Posts + Minimal Backlinks = 3 Sales
To continue detailing the results of my neglected conduit site, I am now up to 7 posts/reviews. I’ve done a bit of social bookmarking for each of the reviews. I still haven’t worked on any other manual backlinks.
I dropped this site’s feed into my RSS pipe, and I’m already seeing some small traffic from that as well as some backlinks.
Since my last post about this site, I’ve made two more sales - both of which are for a membership site.
I moved this project up towards the top of my list after seeing the results it was getting. Now I’m putting even more effort into it. Quite obviously, the Conduit Method works, and while the theme I’m using looks a little sparse to me, it’s driving sales. Who am I to judge?

Conduit Site with Unexpected Results
Like many Internet Marketers, I often find myself going in too many directions at the same time. When I catch myself doing this, sometimes projects get shoved to the back burner for a few weeks so that I can refocus on my primary stuff.
About five weeks ago I had a little time, so I thought I would try to set up a review site as suggested in Chris Rempel’s “Conduit” method. I played with some templates myself, but finally picked up his package of conduit-style templates, which included a Wordpress theme.
I picked a niche with lots of affiliate products, and after setting up Wordpress and the theme, I spent a few minutes entering the information for the first product. This is right about when I put this project on the back burner.
I didn’t set up analytics.
I didn’t bookmark my post (I did have the Wordpress pings turned on).
In fact, I didn’t do anything other than create a single page/post using the methods Chris teaches.
This afternoon I pulled up my ClickBank tracking code summary and noticed the code from that single link on the lone page has had 17 hops this month and one $70 sale! Obviously the number is statistically insignificant, but it proves that Conduit style review pages do in fact pull in long-tail traffic - buying traffic.
I’m going to move this project up in the queue so that I can see what it will do with 20, 30, or even 60 pages.
