Miche Bag Update
Aug 10th
About 8 months ago I started a small niche affiliate site to promote Miche Handbags.
When I first started the site, it took me less then a month to rank in the top 5 of Google for my most relevant keywords. I remained in the top for over 6 months, and than one day, I am nowhere to be found.
The day the site dropped out of Google, I was a little worried as I knew that my affiliate sales were going to dissapear. However the exact opposite happened, which I wasn’t expecting. I started to notice that at the time I dropped out of Google rankings that the traffic coming from MSN started to grow. Now mind you, I was seeing a lot less traffic coming in from MSN than Google, but the traffic I was receiving seemed to be a lot more willing to spend their money.
In the last 3 months I have received a 3rd of the traffic that I saw from Google, but I average almost $400 a month more in commissions.
One thing I have gathered from this is that MSN users seem to spend more than Google users. Why, I am not sure. Maybe an older more mature crowd? Either way, I am happy with it.
Update: Miche Handbag
Jan 26th
I recently wrote a post about an Affiliate site that I setup called Miche-bag.net. In my recent post I explained a little bit about how I set the site up, including current competition, keyword research, etc.
It has been a month or so since I set the site up so I figured it’s time for an update!
At the time of starting the site, there were 22,000 results in Google for the keyword Miche Bag. At the current time, when searching for “Miche Bag” in Google, there is currently 263,000 results. Google’s Search-Based Keyword tool is still showing the same amount of monthly unique searches.
As of right now, the site currently ranks #5th for “Miche Bag”. I am averaging about $30 / day in affiliate commissions so I can’t complain.
I have included a few screenshots below.

New Project – The Miche Handbag!
Jan 7th
I haven’t wrote anything in a while, so I figured it would be a good time to update what is going on. I have a thing for staying up late at night, and for some reason always end up watching infomercials. A new product recently came out for women, that is called the Miche Bag. Basically it’s a handbag that has shells that can be changed on the fly.
I do alot of affiliate marketing, and when I saw it I instantly thought “this might be something good to promote”. I did a little keyword research and found that very few were promoting it, so I did some keyword research and found out it was getting around 4500 unique searches per month, and there were only 22,000 results showing up in Google. I thought to myself, I am a guy, so promoting a handbag is a little weird, but why not use the knowledge that I have to promote something and make a little money from it?
I purchased a domain “Miche-bag.net” and setup a wordpress blog. I wrote a unique article, signed up for the miche handbag affiliate program, and setup some one way backlinks using my blog network.
The site has been online less then two weeks and I rank 12th, and average about 75 unique visitors per day. So far I have profited about $150. Now I know this isn’t alot, but for less then 20 minutes of work, I would say it’s not to bad. Not to mention, that within another week or so I should be ranking in the top 5 results on Google, and my sales should average around $30 profit per day.
I will keep everyone updated!
