MySpace Music

2009-01-10T09:00:00.000-08:00

"MySpace Music is what MP3.com should have been, but never was," Anderson said. "Very few people go to a website looking for bands they've never heard of. MySpace Music lets people find music online in the same way they find out about music in person: through their friends. Millions of friends come to MySpace to socialize, and through that process -- word of mouth and recommendations of friends -- bands get exposure to new fans and fans to new music." DeWolfe continues, "The most exciting use of MySpace Music is the way it's changing the band-to-fan dynamic. A band can go on MySpace and find potential fans all over the country just by sending an e-mail and saying 'Hello.' Bands are developing followings and finding street teams online." Offering downloads, band web pages, and the ability to connect directly with artists is just part of the attraction of MySpace Music. Each visitor to the site also can participate via user testimonials and ratings.

Jason Calacanis' Keynote at Affiliate Summit

2008-03-11T04:22:00.000-07:00

I was flying home from Affiliate Summit 2008 West last week when “Boss of Me” by They Might Be Giants came on and I started thinking about the keynote from Jason Calacanis.

“Let’s talk about the brutal truth here. The truth is, you guys, I am talking to thin affiliate people. I am assuming nobody in here is a thin affiliate. OK, good.

You guys really think small. Holding up a six figure check is frankly pathetic. It’s desperate. The industry I’m in, like the Internet industry, like Web 2.0 industry elitist, you know. Kevin Rose, whatever.

They would laugh at that. It’s sad. It’s embarrassing.

Jason included pictures of ShoeMoney and Zac Johnson holding up six-figure commission checks.

Google rated as 'hostile' to privacy

The rights group Privacy International has said that Google is leading a 'race to the bottom' among internet firms, as many of them do nothing to protect user privacy. Google has responded that the report is untrue and they do much to protect their user's privacy. None of the firms scrutunised by Privacy International were given a 'privacy friendly' rating. Hi5 and Facebook were critisised for the allegedly poor way that they dealt with user data.
Confused.com critisises Direct Line over advertising

Confused.com have hit out at Direct Line for their latest advertising campaign that tries to deter people from using price comparison sites, branding them as 'middlemen' that add costs and complications to the end user. Confused.com's MD Debra Williams has responded by saying 'This looks like an act of desperation from an increasingly uncompetitive Direct Line. It's a shame it won't allow its quotes to be compared through independent price comparison sites like Confused.com.' This comes as shopping comparison sites have been critisised for charging companies for appearing in their listings.

Affiliate Tips

2007-07-05T03:06:00.001-07:00

1. Last Call for Affiliate Summit Passes

Good news - we were able to get a little more space for Affiliate Summit 2007 East. Emphasis on "a little."

Registrations are back open for now, but we cannot make any guarantees on how long this will last. It's first come, first serve - sorry, we can't hold any passes for you.

2. Apple to Affiliates: Bite Me

Ever since the initial announcement of the iPhone, I was anxious to promote it as an affiliate. With all of the hype, I figured I couldn't miss making some affiliate cash off of it.

Apple to Affiliates: Bite Me

Posted to Affiliate Tip TV by shawn on June 30, 2007

Click to Play | View Details

But I didn't think of one potential hurdle - that Apple wouldn't let me promote it .

I was checking daily for the past week or so for some creative to promote the iPhone. I figured they would have dozens of options. Text links, animated and static banners, etc.

Lots of affiliates were criticizing Apple, since their affiliate program only pays 1%. But I was sure the volume potential for the iPhone would render that issue meaningless.

I checked for one last time at noon EST on Friday, June 29. It was just six hours until the release of the iPhone. Still nothing.

So I wrote a note to the Apple affiliate program manager to ask if there would be any iPhone creative or direct links. No response to date.

The launch of the iPhone came and went. My Apple affiliate links pointed to the Apple Store homepage. I never pushed the offer.

I suppose we'll see iPhone creative at some point, as the hype dies down and Apple isn't getting all the organic traffic anymore. Count me as one of many who won't be lining up to promote the iPhone for 1% commission when the early adopters have already snatched it up.

3. Video in Affiliate Marketing

The July 2007 issue of Entrepreneur Magazine includes a short article on video, "Now See This: Online video can breathe new life into your business ."

The article, on page 30, mentions some things we're doing with Affiliate Summit and video.

Also, there is a picture in there of me in action - playing around with video in my office. That's Wil Reynolds, Associate of SEER Interactive, over my shoulder.

He'll be speaking on SEO Site Critiques at Affiliate Summit 2007 East. And, of course, we'll be capturing it on video and making it available for all to see.

Lisa Picarille and myself welcomed Rob Kniaz, Product Manager at Google, for the latest episode of Affiliate Thing.

Topics discussed criteria for advertisers to participate in the Google Pay Per Action beta, ad formats, and whether Google considers AdWords and AdSense to be affiliate marketing.

We also touched on the LinkShare Golden Link Awards and Symposium, affiliates promoting the iPhone, using SMS as a marketing tool, and a preview of Affiliate Summit 2007 East.

Listen to this episode now. The Affiliate Thing show airs weekly on Wednesdays at noon EST. Tune in at http://www.WebmasterRadio.FM.

6. Texting Your Affiliate Links

There is a lot of talk about Affiliate 2.0 and harnessing technology to grow affiliate businesses, but how can you really do it?

Video is showing lots of potential, and mobile phone marketing has an exciting future, but both have associated learning curves and other barriers to entry.

How about t-shirts? Doesn't sound so glorious, right? Well maybe that's because you haven't heard of Reactee.

Reactee is a company that enables you to create a t-shirt with a call to action to send a text message to get more information about a given subject.

When people text a word of your choosing, they get an auto-response to their phone of up to 120 characters from you.

For instance, you could create a shirt with the name of your favorite band, wear it to a concert for them, and have your affiliate link in the text response to sell their ringtones or something.

Reactee provides you with a log of all of the SMS requests, messages posted by people to your account, and more. Give it a try.

As always, I'd love to hear from you! Drop me a line and let me know if you have any suggestions or questions.

Dynamic Web Site Affiliate Sales Program

2006-11-14T03:43:00.000-08:00

I'm pleased to announce Mediate.com and their Affiliate Sales Program. This program provides affiliates with a chance to gain by offering associates the chance to buy Dynamic Web Sites. Affiliates both offer their associates with state-of-the-art website engineering and produce an on-going revenue flow.

Your Revenue Opportunity as Affiliate

Under the program, Mediate. com will share 20% 0f the current recurring revenue received from sales of Dynamic Websites to referred clients for a period of five years. As our Dynamic Websites are presently priced at $50/month, this means that Affiliates can obtain upward to $120 per year for each referred customer.

For Affiliate organizations desiring to give some of this fiscal welfare along to their members, there is an unconventional fiscal agreement whereby: (1) original referred clients obtain available facility of their website and an available best month of service; and (2) the Affiliate Organization receives 10% 0f the current recurring revenue from sale of the structure.

How Does the Affiliate Program Work?

Affiliates offer their associates with data regarding the Dynamic Web Sites. This can be done in any amount of ways (e. g. , data posted on website, newsletter announcements, mailings, data provided at conferences, trainings and new events.

What about Affiliates Support?

Our finish is to have Affiliates as productive as potential. We offer our affiliates with a kind of resources to assist them enforce the plan. This includes Dynamic Web Site brochures, graphical links that can be placed on Affiliate Web Sites, sampling newsletter announcements, and sample text describing the program. As part of the Affiliate Program, we will conduct a kick-off meeting with each Affiliate to familiarize them with available resources and to discuss next steps.

5 Reasons Many Adsense Sites Don't Make Money

2006-08-09T02:09:00.000-07:00

With the huge success Google’s Adsense has been reaping, there are now only a handful of sites you’ll see that doesn’t feature Adsense on their sites. Everyone is hoping that they could make huge earnings from this pay-per-click affiliate program scheme Google has launched.

While there are many success stories (they are true) of sites that have generated good income from Adsense, there are still some sites that couldn’t grasp the real way of making an earning from Adsense.

This is because many people have failed to generate the needed factors to create a successful site that compliments the features Adsense provides. Many webmasters just put up or create mediocre sites and place Adsense on their site and just sits back and waits for the cash to roll in.

If that is the mentality of a site owner, then he won't earn from Adsense. Remember, a mediocre site will also get mediocre earnings.

To finally realize the Adsense dream, a webmaster must produce a site that has the factors and characteristics needed to generate the traffic and clicks it needs to be profitable. There are many things a webmaster needs to do to achieve this and be one of the millions of sites who have successfully done so. But there are so much more things a site owner has failed to do to make their site more Adsense friendly.

Here are five reasons why many Adsense sites don’t make money.

1) There are no good keywords on the site.

Many sites have failed to do the very essence of search engine optimization, Good Keywords. The internet has many websites competing for the attention of the “netizens” and many sites contain the same or almost the same subjects, topics or niches. To date, Google is searching at over three billion sites; good keywords can get you a good lead above all the other sites.

It is essential that you research well on finding the good keywords your site can use to generate the traffic and get a high ranking on the search engines results. If many internet users are directed to your site, you get a huge opportunity to get great traffic. With traffic comes the profit.

In making money you must spend some. Invest in a good program that searches good and proper keywords for your site. These keywords that people are looking for changes and varies, a good keyword searcher is an investment that just keeps on giving.

2) The site doesn’t provide a good niche.

To get the attention of the people, you must provide a site that can perk up the interest of the people. Adsense works well if you maintain a good number of traffic, you have to keep the people’s interest on your site and have a group of people to keep coming back to your site and have them recommend it.

You must also find a niche wherein these groups of people are interested in. Find the right niche and you’ll find the right group of people that are willing to spend some money.

3) The site owner doesn’t maintain or update their site.
You can only maintain the interest of a person for a short period of time. Many websites have failed to keep up the traffic they generate for their failure to keep their site updated. Immerse yourself in your niche and try to find out what’s new and what’s hot.

You have to serve something new to the people or if not, try to keep abreast with the developments of your niche or maybe add some sub-niches on your site that still pertains to your niche to get new traffic and keep the attention of your clients in your site.

4) Some website owners don’t provide the full attention to their Adsense sites.

Many people just see their sites as a way to earn some extra money. You have to treat Adsense sites as a full size business to make it big. With the heavy competition you have, a good webmaster should treat their site as if it is their main source of income but still maintain a good schedule of their time.

5) Many webmasters have failed to devout time and research to their Adsense site.

Many elements are needed to build a successful Adsense site. Good keywords and the right niches can roll in the dough, but this takes time and effort. It is imperative to devout a certain amount of time in looking for ways to develop your Adsense site.

The internet is abound of sites that could help your own site. A little time, money and hard work can spell the huge difference between a successful Adsense site and a mediocre one.

Testing Your AdSense: tutorial

2006-08-04T02:44:00.000-07:00

How your earnings would change if you swapped a banner ad for a leaderboard?
Or if you changed your color palette to Open Air? Always wanted to know but don't know how to? A/B testing is what you've been looking for!

Firstly, you have to create two custom channels - one for each ad unit you're going to be testing.

To create a new custom channel name:

Log in to your account at https://www.google.com/adsense
From the links below the AdSense Setup tab, click Channels
Choose the appropriate product sub-tab and scroll down to the Manage Custom Channels section
In the 'Create new channel' field, enter a name that will help you to identify this channel later. For example, carpages or blue_skyscrapers
Click Create new channel. Your new channel will be added to the Active Channels list.

To add the channel-specific code to your page:

Click the AdSense Setup page and choose the appropriate product. After choosing your ad type, format, and colors, select the desired channel from the Channel drop-down list, then click Continue
Copy-and-paste the ad layout code into your web pages. The channel identifier within your code will track performance on these pages.

Done? Ok, now we got channels. Then create a leaderboard ad unit and a banner ad unit with identical settings, except for the ad format. Be sure to assign each ad unit the appropriate channel created above.

Now you should decide how you want to run your A/B test; for example, you can choose to run the test on some % of your traffic or only on your home page. No matter what you choose, you'll need to run both of your ad units at the same time. But how can you easily alternate between your two ad formats? The simplest way to do this is to use the JavaScript template below - it will rotate between the two ad units, showing each 50% of the time.

Also when using this template, remember to replace “//your first ad unit goes here” with your ad code inside the first set of tags.

Once you’ve implemented the A/B testing code on your page, you'll be able to view the experiment results in your channel reports and compare the figures from the custom channels you created.

A few important things to remember when designing and running an A/B test:

1. One of the ad configurations in your test should be the configuration you're currently displaying. In order to understand the effects of each ad configuration, you need to compare the experimental results to a baseline. This baseline, also called the control, should be the ad configuration you are currently using.

2. You should only make one change to the ad configuration in each A/B experiment. The goal of A/B testing is to isolate the revenue impact or CTR change of one particular modification, so that you know exactly which change affected your revenue. By modifying the baseline ad code in only one way, you can be assured of this.

3. For one A/B test, all configurations must be running simultaneously. Since we need to ensure that all ad configurations are subject to the same conditions such as the same traffic patterns, all configurations must be running at the same time. The JavaScript template above is one way of implementing this.
If you get some problems through test, you can visit A/B Help Center

AdSense on Google Page Creator: new money machine

2006-08-01T06:55:00.000-07:00

Today I'd like to introduce Google’s new Labs creation - Google Page Creator.

It's a tool for easy design and publish web pages. With this tool creating a page takes only few minutes: you don't web space or domain name, you don't have to be an experienced webmaster at all.

Take a look at page I created - http://softwareprofit.googlepages.com/
It took me about 40 seconds to create! Google Labs created this tool rather time ago, maybe you have to use it earlier. But today this creator transformed to money earning machine,
because you can easily place AdSense ads there now :) So don't loose time, you can create a huge number of pages in minutes and built a real AdSense imperium.

A collection of strange links on Google.com

2006-07-26T03:14:00.000-07:00

Although Google is a search engine, they are also a website. They, themselves, have millions of pages indexed, some are to services they provide and others are to random things on Google. I was digging around Google and I ended up finding at lot of random things, so I decided to compile a list of strange Google links. Enjoy!

These pages reference customizable Google homepages for partner companies. http://www.google.com/ig/dell http://www.google.com/ig/gateway

I am not sure what this page is about, but it might have something to do with IE. http://www.google.com/ie_rsearch.html

Roundup: New Google Product Features

2006-07-24T06:55:00.000-07:00

Steve Bryant

So few updates, so much time. Wait, switch that, reverse it. Good.

Google Base -- Google engineers are making the Borg cube a little prettier. You can now format your Google Base item descriptions using formatting buttons or HTML. But you're still not allowed to use scripts, frames or data input controls.

Google Co-Op -- Google has added drop-downs to some searches, which helps you to refine your search. If you search for "clinical trials" you should see the drop-downs. Searching for other health-related terms, such as cancer, returns a list you can use to refine your search.

Google AdSense -- Google has added a site diagnostics tool to all AdSense publishers. Google's also updated the optimization tips page.

Google Desktop -- the deadline for the widget-developing contest has been extended by two weeks.

Google Video -- As reported earlier, Google now allows links to specific times within a video. And late last week, it also updated the Google Video homepage to include a Top 10 list.

Google Talk -- Google is now branding Google Talk headsets.

Google Reader -- Google has made several changes to Reader, including the ability to star items in the mobile interface.

Google Maps -- The Maps API has been updated to include, among other things, custom mouse cursors and more accurate geocoder response.

Site Diagnostics Tab Added to Google AdSense Console

2006-07-21T06:39:00.000-07:00

Google has added a new tab. They have been beta testing it for a few months. This tab is named Site Diagnostics. What this tool does is show you which pages the AdSense crawler is having problems getting to. Why would they crawler have a problem getting to those pages? The several possible reasons include a robots.txt file blocking then, password protected pages, server down or slow and other reasons explained in the AdSense help pages.

Internet Marketing strategies aren't new, but sometimes for a newby you can wonder who is making money and how they do it.

Reading tonns of blogs and articles can teach you something. But I think that the most effective way to get started is being triained or even only speaked by professional. I've found a video by John Reese, where he briefly talks about how he made over $500,000 in a little over a year through adsense.

Now just bear in mind he has over a decade of experience in Internet Marketing but i think at least it gives people like myself some encouragement that the techniques of Internet Marketing work and you just need to get yourself into gear and start taking action.

7 easy ways to get traffic to your blog - and earn $10,466 in 60 days :)

2006-07-20T07:25:00.000-07:00

You’ve put a lot of work into your blog, and you put more in every day.
But without a steady stream of traffic, no one’s the wiser. Use these
seven tips to get more traffic to your blog.

1) Do your SEO and keyword research homework.

Make sure the HTML of your site is search engine friendly.
Here’s a basic search engine optimization checklist:

• Do your post titles have appropriate keywords?

• Do your anchor links have keywords in them?

Using “here” as a link is a missed opportunity.

• Does your domain name include a primary keyword?

2) Submit your site to the 1st and 2nd tier engines like Google, Yahoo, Dmoz, MSN and Looksmart, and to the blog directories.

Here’s a short list of sites that offer free blog listings:

Blog Search
http://www.blog-search.com/blogclicker-submission.html

Technorati
http://www.technorati.com/

Bloglines
http://www.bloglines.com/

Blogdex
http://blogdex.net/

Blogwise
http://www.blogwise.com/

WeBlogALot
http://www.weblogalot.com/

Globe of Blogs
http://www.globeofblogs.com/

BlogHop
http://www.bloghop.com/

Blogarama
http://www.blogarama.com/

3) Ping like you mean it.

This is a way for you to raise your hand to the blog trackers when
you’ve posted new content. You can do it site by site at places like
Technorati, or go to Ping-o-matic (http://pingomatic.com/)
and mass-ping your blog to over 20 sites. Make sure your blog is set up
to ping the appropriate sites every time you publish a post.

4) Feed your RSS.

Make sure your blog has one and that it’s working. An RSS feed is a bit
of XML that allows your blog to push content to RSS readers. That way
people don’t have to visit your site to get your latest insights – they
just open their RSS reader and read the news. If your blog is at
Blogger.com, don’t worry about an RSS feed – its already been created
for you.

If you’re not at Blogger.com and your current blog doesn’t have RSS
functionality, visit Feedcraft.com and sign up for their free service
that will set up an RSS feed from any website (blog or not).

5) Swap links.

Make a list of relevant sites you’d love to link to your blog. Write
them a short friendly note and offer to let them use a few of your
posts as content on their site in exchange for a link back to your
site. Also, link to their sites from within one of your posts.

Be sure to offer to exchange links in the links section of your blog.
Most blog software programs offer this.

There are also sites that special in helping bloggers swap links.
Web Log Empire (http://www.weblogempire.com/) is a large one.
If you’re willing to pay for a link to your site,
check out Text-Link-Ads (http://www.text-link-ads.com/)

6) Be part of the blogging community.

Go to other blog sites you admire. Contribute to their blogs in ways
that add real value. Write good, thoughtful comments that are content
rich. Give away what you know. Do it a lot – at least 3 posts a week.
Over time you’ll become recognized as someone who has something
worthwhile to say.

As your reputation grows, people will seek out your blog. This is not
an overnight process, but by paying your dues and building an audience
you are positioning yourself to become a star.

By the way, if your site doesn’t have the functionality for visitors at add
comments, Haloscan (http://www.haloscan.com/) is a free service that will
let them do so. It also allows for “trackbacking”, which is a way to manage pings.

7) Write your blog!

Put everything you’ve got into it. Make it great. Post as frequently as
you can. The search engines will note frequent postings. A blog that
has a new post every day is obviously more active – and important –
than a blog that was set up in 2003, has 4 posts, and has been dead
since 2004. To really make your blog get noticed you’ll need to post at
least 2-3 times a week.

Using CMS For Affiliate Marketing

2006-07-19T05:11:00.000-07:00

The technical hassles of creating a website have always been a
problem for many affiliate marketers. Whether it's HTML, FTP, CSS, PHP,
or any other confusing acronym, some affiliate marketers feel that it's
a constant battle.

Coming from a technology background, I was fortunte in that I didn't

have to worry about that. But that doesn't mean I enjoy writing line
after line of code. Far from it.

You see, like most other affiliate marketers, I'm lazy. I'll take an

easy, point-and-click system any day of the week over complex code that
actually requires me to think in order to use it.

This is something that I have always kept in mind over the years as

I've built my Internet business. In fact, one of my recent projects, MakeMoneyWithCreditCards.com,
sought to totally eliminate the need for the user to be well-versed in
technical matters. We built it to have a point-and-click backend where
users can update their site.

Recently, I have been looking into newer systems called "Content

Management Systems" or CMS for short. These systems will install on
your web hosting account (sometimes with only a few clicks) and then
let you administer your website online from your own administration
panel.

You can add categories, add pages, add reviews, links, and more,

just by clicking a few buttons. In fact, I have begun using a content
management script on my affiliate marketing portal, WhichAffiliate.com and have been very happy with the results so far.

The script I'm using is called Drupal. From what I've heard, another popular choice is Mambo.

The great thing about these systems is that they are open source, which
means that the source code is available for modification (good) and
they can be downloaded for no cost (even better!)

While each system has its own unique advantages, and its own

corresponding learning curve as well, the general functionality of all
of them are the same.

In addition, there are several pre-built modules and plug-ins that

can be added to the system to add important features for affiliate
marketers. For example, I installed a module which makes all of the
pages on my site "search engine friendly" and another one which
automatically generates a compliant Google Sitemap.

Once the initial learning curve has been surpassed, I believe that

Content Management Systems provide an excellent way for anybody to
manage their affiliate websites. In fact, I am going to be recommending
CMS software to my clients and colleagues as a preferred method of
maintaining a large, complex site.

As far as I'm concerned, it's going to be the wave of the future for affiliate marketing.

Good Clicks, Bad Clicks: Recognizing The Signs Of Click Fraud by Entrepreneur Magazine EBiz Radio Show

2006-07-18T03:16:00.000-07:00

What is Click Fraud?

Boris Mordkovich of Search Marketing Standard, a magazine devoted
exclusively to search marketing, defines click fraud as “any click made
on an ad with no intention of actually buying or looking for
information, but rather with the intention of depleting the
advertiser’s budget.”

Who is Behind It?

Who would benefit from deliberately running up your bill? To start
with, your competition would. The ads in the top spots are always in
the crosshairs of the ads a little further down the page. And if your
competitor clicks on your ad a few times a day or a few times a week,
the search engines won’t notice such small numbers. Doesn’t sound like
much but it can really add up, especially when you have multiple
competitors doing it. So they just chip away at your budget until you
can no longer afford to advertise on that search engine.

Another common source of click fraud is search engine affiliates.
When webmasters get a cut of the revenue from the ads on their sites,
they sometimes play the same game as your competitors. They quietly
click away at your ad and raise your bill—and their profits—one click
at a time.

“It Could Happen To You”—Fighting Back

When you think you have found a case of click fraud, you need to gather your information:

1. the questionable clicks

2. the keywords that were clicked on

3. when they were clicked on, and

4. the country from which the clicks originated.

You can do this yourself by monitoring your server logs and
watching for unusual increases in activity or repeated clicks from the
same ISP address. Or you can get a third party to research it for you.
Clickclub.com, AdWatcher.com and WhosClickingWho.com are examples of
services that will analyze which of your clicks are valid and present
you with all the relevant information in an organized report. This type
of service may cost you from twenty to a hundred dollars a month.

You can email this information to your search engine and request an
investigation for the purpose of obtaining a refund. Mordkovich warns
that you should expect some resistance, but says “it’s important to
elevate the issue to a supervisor.” If the search engines know you are
serious, they will look into your claims.

The key to not becoming a click fraud victim is to be aware. Watch
the sources of your clicks. Check your server logs. Watch for spikes.
Consider a third party watchdog if necessary. Click fraud is both real
and prevalent. So use a little caution and you can save yourself a
great deal of money down the road.

Pay Per Click Super Trick by Guy Vincent Harvey

2006-07-18T03:14:00.000-07:00

The Pay Per Click super trick works for everyone. Even if you have
never used Pay Per Click, this will work. You can take this pay per
click super trick to the next level, as in, the next level, on
steroids. Actually, there a few good ones I’ll let you in on.

The trick works like this. You will want to have as many variations
on a theme as possible. In other words, hundreds, or thousands of
keywords and phrases that advertisers do not think of and people
searching for a product do. When you start a campaign, you will use a
main key word to build themes on.

How to build your themes.

Let’s say our keyword to build themes on is “CDs”. Now “CDs” is a
very general term. If we razor-point target the term to musical artists
and forget about ever using “CDs” as our keyword, we will be better
off.

Next, we just ad words to our main theme and combine them into
phrases. So, we place the words "new", "used", and "live" in the first
position of the phrase. Then, we use the artist name Rush, in the
second position. Finally, we put our main theme, “CDs” in the third
position. For example:
new rush cds

used rush cds

live rush cds

You probably think this will take us forever to generate thousands
of keywords. It will not! This is how. We are using a computer program
to do it that does not coast us one dime to use; in fact it makes us
money. It also saves us incredible amounts of time. That’s best part of
the super trick.

The list you see below is very small. The list we can actually create will be 10 times this size in 60 seconds!

This is how. We can replace the word “Rush” with other artist’s
names and we are using the program to insert brackets and quotes on
each side of our keyword phrases. So, if we used ten artists’ names, we
would have a list of 180 key word phrases. Many advertisers would never
think of using a lot of these phrases.

For example, I just looked up “live rush CDs” on Google and there
were only PPC ads! A Rush fan would type that phrase in while shopping.
Obviously, CD store owners, generally do not. What that means to you
is, very targeted, cheep clicks! You can use the same technique in any
business.

new rush cds

used rush cds

live rush cds

newrushcds

usedrushcds

liverushcds

[new rush cds]

[used rush cds]

[live rush cds]

[newrushcds]

[usedrushcds]

[liverushcds]

"new rush cds"

"used rush cds"

"live rush cds"

"newrushcds"

"usedrushcds"

"liverushcds"

NOTE: Did you notice that some of our keywords look like this?
"liverushcds" That’s a great trick to use. Often people don’t bunch
they “enter” key between words when typing. The program also removes
spaces between words.

Setting our budget

We are going to make sure that we don’t pay much. So we’ll just make our cost per click 5-10 cents.

Let’s sum it all up.

If we have lists of hundreds or thousands of keywords, they may
very seldom get searched for. However, whit that many keywords in our
campaign, the rare and super targeted clicks will drive cheep traffic
every day because, we have so many waiting for the right people!

Some advices to increase traffic to your blog

2006-07-17T08:23:00.000-07:00

As fancy as the term "blog" sounds, it's actually just a website that
uses a content management system. While most blog software is more
search engine friendly out of the box than many web sites, the
opportunities for blog optimization are readily available.

Here are some tricks that will increase your popularity in SE and eventually drive more traffic to your blog.

1) Use keywords in your blog post titles - This is a
given for SEO. Most blogging software uses the post title as the url so
take advantage of it.

Example: “10 SEO Tricks to Attract More Traffic to your Blog - Search Engine Journal"

Search Engine Journal is included on every blog post title tag automatically.

2) Optimize your blog categories - When you create categories for your
blog, be sure to use keywords in the titles. When you post, be sure to
default to a general category that is relevant no matter what the post
is about. Choose multiple categories on each post when appropriate.
This will create a “SEO-friendly" url for each post you make.

3) Syndicate your blog - Make it easy for people to subscribe to your
blog. Sign-up with a free service like Feedburner and then create a
“syndication" area on your site.

4) Offer RSS to email. Anywhere from 10% to 40% of your blog traffic
can come from individuals that perfer to read blog posts via email. RSS
readers and aggregators can be confusing. Adding email services to your
blog isn't. There are several free services available for this
including: FeedBlitz, Squeet, and Zookoda.

5) Ping blog search engines - This can be configured with blog software
such as Movable Type or WordPress to work automatically. If you're
using Blogger.com, then you can do this manually with Pingomatic.com or
Pingoat.com.

6) Make comments on other blogs. Your name will be linked to the blog
url that you enter. Don't make comments that offer no value to the blog
post. Don't use keywords in the field for your name, use your name or
blog name.

7) Submit your blog directories. Also submit the blog to regular
directories such as (DMOZ, JoeAnt, GoGuides, Google Blog Search, etc)
that have categories for blogs.

8) Targeted advertising – Now this doesn't really drive traffic to your
site but will make you money. It's possible by using Google AdSense to
display highly targeted ads on your blog. Once you've setup an account
and placed the ads on your site, just sit back and watch the cash come
in. Cha-ching.

9) Snatch up hot keywords - Now before you place ads on your blog, be
sure your keyword density is good for the right terms. A great tool to
improve your traffic for high-paying keywords is to use a product
called Keyword Elite (http://www.seojuice.com).

10) Use track backs - If there is a blog that you refer to or quote and
it is highly relevant to your subject, leave a track back. It increases
your link popularity and may even score a few interested readers from
the linked site. A TrackBack is a mechanism used in a blog to show,
around an entry, a list of other blogs that refer to it.

Summary

The important thing to remember is that no matter how many optimization
tactics you employ with a blog, there is no substitute for quality
content. Blog optimization is only as effective as the quality and
usefulness of the content you're optimizing. So do not limit yourself
to tips and lists. Use your imagination and you will come up with
thousands of ways to drive traffic to your blog!

Warning Signs for Affiliate Marketers

2006-07-14T05:15:00.000-07:00

If you are an affiliate marketer, you may be wondering what kinds of
products and sales opportunities will work best for you. The flip-side of
that question is just as important. What kind of situations should you
avoid? In order to better insure that your marketing efforts and time are
not wasted, consider some of the following warning signs that should
convince you to avoid some affiliate opportunities.

Beware of bad reputations. If the person offering the product has a spotty
past in terms of other ventures, you may want to avoid the opportunity. Not
only does a bad track record hold out the promise of future failures, it
will also act as a disincentive for many prospective buyers. Do some
research about the person offering the product. See what else they are up
to, how people feel about them, and whether or not there have been past
complaints or concerns that raise a warning flag for you.

Beware of limited information. If the offer is coming with very little
information, it may be time to be suspicious. You should have a clear
outline of all terms for participation. Although streamlining affiliate
programs may increase efficiency, an exceptionally threadbare approach could
be a warning that something may not be right.

Beware of program administration. If you aren't familiar with the operators
or have any other concerns, you may want to approach the matter cautiously.
Before jumping in head first on a new project, approach it with reasonable
trepidation and suspicion. Instead of immediately promoting in earnest,
consider closing a few sales and waiting to make sure they are logged
correctly and that you are paid on time. This may give you a better idea of
what to expect from the program.

Beware of incomplete bios. If all you have to work with in terms of contact
information is an alias, an email address and a website, don't invest a
great deal of time in the project. Before committing, get names, physical
addresses and phone numbers. Take a moment to assess the probable overall
legitimacy of the program. You want to be sure you know exactly with whom
you will be working. In the case of a problem, that additional contact
information will come in handy, too.

Recognizing these four particular warning signs and acting accordingly
cannot guarantee that you won't run afoul of a bad deal now and again.
However, those indicators will give you cause for concern in certain
situations that should lead you to take appropriate self-preserving actions.

If you notice bad reputations, limited information, questionable
administration or incomplete biographical information, you may want to seek
greener pastures. With some many new affiliate products becoming available
every day, it only make sense to be cautious. You do have other options. If
you play it safe as an affiliate and you'll be glad you did.
