I have spent the last 4 days launching my first site, improving the on site SEO, launching adwards, and building site depth. My niche I am targeting is bread machines. After much searching, I was able to settle on my domain, topbreadmaker.com.
So far, after 4 days up, I am still not indexed. Hopefully, my other SEO work will remedy this shortly. As of right now, I am using strictly Amazon as my affiliate partner. Once I learn the ins and outs of the business, I will branch out to other products.
This site is hosted at 1and1.com. My next site which I will start tomorrow will be hosted at my new host, dreamhost.com. This may slow down my production a bit as I learn the new host, but hopefully that will end once I get going. This will be in the same niche but with a different approach. This is to test which method is more effective.
My production goal at this point is 6 pages of content/ day starting yesterday. Yesterday, I only did 2, but today, I am up to 9. One more page, and I will be back on track.

hi kurtyordy:
This is Terence Chang from Fastlane forum. Congratulation on your first move to the affiliate marketing. I am still learning that too, but with a twist. I am wondering how I can offer affiliate program for people like you to earn money.
Anyway, I like your domain name.
Keep up the good works. BTW, did you submit your site to Google webmaster?
Here are some stuff for you to think about it.
1. Google don’t like to index a page with third party widget ONLY. In your case, you have an Amazon store widget in your page
2. You seem to be running wordpress without the search engine friendly URL.
Here are my suggestions.
1. Add information about how to make bread. Make your site a resource of making good quality bread or how to start your own break factory.
2. Use search engine friendly URL
3. Go to the break maker manufacture web site and steal their content about their product spec.
4. Don’t just sell bread maker. Sell some break making accessories or related items.
5. Create other blogs on blogspot and link back to your site. It will get you index faster.
Good luck!
