It’s all about everything

February 21st, 2010 by dingdans

If you are seriously interested in affiliate marketing, then one of the first things you need to do is to build a website/blog to maximize your earnings. You can surely advertise your affiliate programs without a personal website, by adding links in your email signatures. But the number of people you can target using this method is very small and will help just a little. If you can build a website to maximize your affiliate marketing earnings, the audience to which you are exposing the affiliate program is much larger.br /br /Tips to maximize your affiliate marketing website potential:br /br /span style=”font-weight: bold;”1. Choose a Great Topic:/span This step is critical and many people go wrong here, as they don’t pick an area they are passionate about. You need to create a website around a niche that you love or know a lot about, so that you can always work on it and make it better. A lot of your time and effort will go in creating good content for your website. So choose something you really love to read and write about. Once you have selected your niche, do research to identify some good affiliate products that would go well with your site. Also, make sure that there is a good market for those affiliate products and people buy them.br /br /span style=”font-weight: bold;”2. Selecting a Domain Name:/span Using a site like register.com or a good web-host’s site, do some research and check for domain names. While you are doing your research, remember that it is a great idea to have an important keyword in your domain name. So if your website will be about “designer bags”, try to include that phrase in your domain name. Your domain name must be easy to remember, have a good keyword and easy to type. Try not to have dashes in the domain name and instead, look for ones that have a dot com address.br /br /span style=”font-weight: bold;”3. Web Hosting:/span Purchase a basic personal website package from a web hosting company. Prior to selecting your web host, ask around for some good recommendations. You need a web hosting company that has good customer service, is reliable and is not down too often.br /br /span style=”font-weight: bold;”4. Site Builder / Software:/span Next comes the task of building your website. For this you can make use of a site builder like internetbasedfamilies.com, or software package like Microsoft FrontPage. Site builders are normally easy to use, and also include web hosting. Thus, you will end up paying a monthly fee for the software and hosting combo. You could also ask someone to design and build the site for you.br /br /span style=”font-weight: bold;”5. Driving Traffic to the website: /spanYou will have to optimize your web pages for search engines using SEO (search engine optimization) to get good traffic. You can also write articles with good content and submit them to article directories. A few other options to drive traffic to your website are buying ads on other sites that are based on your niche, newsletters and pay-per-click advertisements.div class=”blogger-post-footer”img width=’1′ height=’1′ src=’https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31431603-5834546936752044899?l=moneymakerinfo.blogspot.com’ alt=” //div

How to Build a Website to Maximize Your Affiliate Marketing Earnings

January 16th, 2010 by dingdans

span style=”font-style: italic;”Guest Post by Terri Seymour/spanbr /br /When you build your website, you, of course, want to get high rankings in the search engines. There are lots of ways to do this and lots of ways to NOT do this. Below are 10 things to avoid if you want to be in good standing with the search engines.br /br /span style=”font-weight: bold;”1. Duplicate Content/Sites /span– Do not set up multiple sites or site pages using basically the same content with a few different keywords spread around. This does not fool the search engines.br /br /span style=”font-weight: bold;”2. Cloaking/span – Cloaking is when a website or webpage is set up to show different content for a search engine spider than the human visitors. The cloaked page (for the spiders) is stuffed with keywords in an attempt to get higher rankings. What it can get you is banned!br /br /span style=”font-weight: bold;”3. Linking to Bad Neighborhoods/span – Be careful who you link to because you can be found guilty by association. Do not link to non-family friendly websites and unethical websites.br /br /span style=”font-weight: bold;”4. Title Stacking/span – This is simply trying to give each page more than one title tag so you can use more keywords to get higher rankings. The search engines consider this a dirty little trick.br /br /span style=”font-weight: bold;”5. Doorway Pages /span– Doorway or gateway pages are pages that are set-up for one keyword topic but then they take you to different content. These pages usually have little value in the way of content and have little to do with the rest of the site. They are used solely to try to get a higher rank in the search engines.br /br /span style=”font-weight: bold;”6. Redirect Pages/span – Redirect pages are set up to rank high in the search engines but when you click on the page, it will take you to another page which is usually a sales page for a product or service. So, what you see isn’t what you get!br /br /span style=”font-weight: bold;”7. Automated Submission Services/span – Do not use automated submission services. They are against Google’s TOS and can get you banned.br /br /span style=”font-weight: bold;”8. Hidden Links/span – This is when a link is added to a page in such a small size that it cannot be seen by human visitors but can be picked up by the search engine spiders. This might work for a time but when the search engines discover it, you will be penalized!br /br /span style=”font-weight: bold;”9. Keyword Stuffing/span – Keyword stuffing or spamming is simply being too repetitive with your keywords as to the extent of your content not being sensible. For example if your keywords are cat food and your text reads something like this: When your cat gets hungry be sure to feed them this cat food because your cat will like this cat food. This cat food comes in an easy to open cat food can and contains fish, chicken and healthy ingredients that all cat food should have. So, when your cat is hungry for cat food, give them this cat food because this cat food is the best cat food for your cat!br /br /You can easily see why this kind of keyword stuffing should not be used.br /br /span style=”font-weight: bold;”10. Invisible Text/span – This is when you hide text by using the same color text and background. The invisible text is meant for the search engines only and not for visitors. This is done so you can stuff a lot more keywords on your page without wrecking your content. The search engines will discover this and they will penalize you!br /br /Be careful not to use these Black Hat SEO methods because it could cause you a lot of trouble with the search engines. Be careful as well, who you hire to work on your site because some of these things can be done without your knowledge and cause your site to get banned or penalized.br /br /span style=”font-weight: bold;”A few things you should do to get higher rankings are:/spanbr /br /1. Research keywords and use relevant keywords on your web pages and in your page title.br /br /2. Add new content to your site regularlybr /br /3. Link with relevant, quality sitesbr /br /4. Use a site mapbr /br /5. Don’t use a lot of Javascript or flash. The search engines do not read these.br /br /Following all of the above can keep you from getting banned and improve your rankings!br /br /span style=”font-weight: bold;”About the Author:/spanbr /Terri Seymour (also known as “The eBook Lady”) has over ten years online experience and has helped many people start their own business.

10 Ways to Get Banned by the Search Engines

December 7th, 2009 by dingdans

span style=”font-style: italic;”Guest Post by Paul Vrieling/spanbr /br /If you want to make money online, then you have a few different ways to do it. One of the most popular ways is by using affiliate marketing. You find a good product to promote, get your links for tracking your sales and make a website. You drive traffic to the website and for every sale you make, you get paid. Sounds pretty easy, right?br /br /Well, actually it’s pretty hard! There is a lot of competition out there in the affiliate marketing world. You need an advantage to get your sites ranking high. Another major roadblock for most people is the fact that you have to make a website to make money this way. You can’t just take your link and market that! That is not a good long term strategy and Adwords will take your ad of sooner or later if you use this method.br /br /So, most people turn to Wordpress to make affiliate marketing websites. Wordpress has lots of cool features and plug ins, so if you are a technical genius – go for it! One of the hardest parts is creating a data base. Most newbies don’t understand how to do this.br /br /Well, thankfully one internet marketer finally came out with a better way. It’s an affiliate marketing website builder that is super easy to use and has many of the same features marketers love with wordpress!

Connect with your host on your domain name (this is very easy and they have directions)br /br /3. Upload a file folder to your domainbr /br /4. Log into — YourDomainNameHere(dot)com/admin.phpbr /br /5. You are DONE!br /br /That’s it! You just enter your domain name into your browser and add the admin.php part. You enter you user name and password and you are in the editor. You are now able to change titles, descriptions, add tracking codes, content, articles and more!br /br /Much easier than using Wordpress with many of the same great features, such as:br / br /1. Easy What you see is what you get editor and html mode for advanced users as wellbr /br /2. Ability to update site and add content very easilybr /br /3. Automatically creates RSS feeds and a SITEMAP for you websites! This is great for SEO…br /br /4. Automatically PINGS whatever sites you want every time you add new content! Hello Google!br /br /5. Visitors to your sites can leave comments and rate the products you are promoting (you allow the ones you want to appear) creating an internet “buzz” about your products and boosting sales!br /br /6. These sites were created to sell products and they work!br /br /I was lucky enough to beta test the affiliate genie and I absolutely love it. I immediately built a website for a product launch that already went live. My review site was indexed in 2 hours and I was number one in Google within 2 days. There is proof if you click my link below…br /br /span style=”font-weight: bold;”Author Bio: /spanbr /Affiliate Genie makes wonderful looking affiliate marketing websites that are designed to sell products. It is very easy to use and the sites are fully SEO optimized to get you traffic.

3 Kickass Ways To Make Money Online

November 23rd, 2009 by dingdans

span style=”font-style: italic;”Guest Post by Franck Silvestre/spanbr /br /If you are trying to make money online for more than one month, I bet you already heard about affiliate marketing.br /br /It’s the fastest easiest way to get started online and make some real money.br /br /What most beginners don’t know is that you don’t need to sell anything to make money with affiliate programs. You can make money when a website visitor perform an action like signing up for more information or downloading a toolbar or screensaver.br /br /Those pay per lead programs are called Cost Per Action (CPA).br /br /If you are new to CPA programs, let me show you how it works.br /br /span style=”font-weight: bold;”1. Getting started/spanbr /br /There are two big schools of thought.br /br /The first is that you should pick your market first, and then, pick a product that is proven to sell in this market.br /br /The second school of thought says that you choose the product that people already buy first, and then, you promote it to hungry buyers in the market.br /br /Personally, I do both, but if you are just getting started and didn’t make your first sale yet, I suggest that you choose option two, because beginners generally struggle to find a niche.br /br /span style=”font-weight: bold;”2. Grabbing your CPA offer/spanbr /br /This is a little bit more tricky than traditional pay per sale affiliate products (you are paid when someone actually buy the product you are promoting).br /br /Let’s say you want to start with Market Leverage.br /br /With the CPA affiliate network like Market Leverage for example, you will need to go through an application process.br /br /Most of the time, you will be asked how you will promote the offer, and they will also ask you for a website’s url.br /br /Just say that you are going to promote with seo. If you have the budget, you can also say PPC.br /br /Once you sign up, an affiliate manager will contact you to see if you are a real person, and ask you a couple of questions to see if you qualify.br /br /Don’t worry. Here is a little known trick that will help you to be accepted in any affiliate network.br /br /Please be honest. Don’t tell your affiliate manager that you earn $2000.00 per month when you never made a dime online. Just tell the truth. Here is the twist what should get you in easily.br /br /Just tell to your affiliate manager that you are brand new and that you never made a dime online, but that you are going to do whatever you can to make a lot of commissions every month for his network only.br /br /You get it?br /br /span style=”font-weight: bold;”Here is why it works:/spanbr /br /His role is to help you earn more. He is not doing this because he loves you, but the reason is that when you make money, the affiliate manager makes money. If you earn more, he earns more as well.br /br /When you tell him that you are going to make money EXCLUSIVELY for this network, he will think twice, and you’ll have more chances to be approved if you are just getting started.br /br /If you are not accepted (it happens sometimes), don’t worry, you have two things to do:br /br /1. Call againbr /br /Just call the affiliate manager after one week, and he will see that you are serious.br /br /2. Go the the next CPA affiliate networks, there are dozens of them and you should get accepted when you apply what I teach.br /br /span style=”font-weight: bold;”Author Bio:/spanbr /Want even more powerful methods that make me thousands of dollars right now?
