The current situation in the pharmaceutical online business

The situation has deteriorated. Not for me only, but for many others. Sometimes, 1.000 unique visitors make no purchase. The crisis, you see. So I do not know, is it generally worth to continue this business. The main methods of harvesting traffic remain unchanged:

1. Doorways
2. Satellites
3. Splogs
4. Social networks (SMO, SMM)

The most efficient kind of doorways now is a user profile doorway. It is good to be in top, though some traffic is lost because of the lack of redirect. This is a rather cheap way. You need only a good piece of link spamming software, search engine parser and a link base for the spam. Xrumer along with the parser costs 520 dollars plus 10 dollars a month fee. If you will spam out of the house, then costs end with it. Shall you take a spam server, then under the current circumstances the costs may be not paid off. The spam base has to be parsed by yourself.

Satellites (a sort of mini sites). Making normal satellites, for people, is even more expensive than using doorways. A satellite with unique medical content costs from $ 400 per piece, plus domain name, plus hosting, plus the cost of the satellite promotion. Given the fact that you have to own about 10-15 satellites, the initial costs will be approximately $ 5.000. Results in the form of sales will be waited for several months.

You can make satellites by yourself using Wordpress and other people's content. Expenses for domains and hosting only. As hosting, you can take VPS - from $ 20-30 per month. Price of a *.com domain - $ 10. Link submissions through link bases - from $ 40 per site. The impact will begin in 3-4 months if you have luck.
Thus, the initial investment for 10 satellites is about 620 dollars. But because the satellites are "copypasted", they will not get a good position in search engines. You'll have little traffic.

Splogs related costs may vary. If a splog is placed on a free hosting - almost no cost. If you make auto blogs, you'll need to take a paid hosting or even a server. Costs - $ 60 USD per month plus a special software - about U.S. $ 400.

Social network in its simplified representation is a site where many people communicate each with other. The simplest social network is a forum. Costs are minimal - the domain name for your online pharmacy. Domain has to be set on the hosting of the pharmaceutical affiliate program and then the domain would have to be promoted in the social network, communicating with other people. Promotion in social networks is the cheapest method, but rather complex and labor-consuming. You must know English and have some understanding of medicin
