Repeat Customers Wanted!! Your grail of sorts

When you think about affiliate sales, you'll read many articles about how, get the customers attention, get the e-mail address and auto send them hard or soft sell emails.

Maybe it's just me, but it seems that this affiliate avenue is slowing down.

Maybe it's the fact that Google (Adwords) and the other PPC companies have locked out Copyright and Gambling from advertising on the system. Maybe it's because the general public is fed up and too savey to fall for this type of gimick.. I myself just delete spam and have no use for it, other than to see what people are desperate to sell online.

Go for the long haul!

I really mean, be as patient as you can. Make the effort to respect the people you want to convert on a sale.

Try other avenues of marketing, maybe create something new. Or get creative. Many people are doing just that and they are the ones making the money we all dream of. Remember, I myself are just like you. I'm working at making a little extra.

TIP

The internet widget and gadgets are exploding, Yahoo and Microsoft both. These are nothing new, Konfabulator has been around for years, but was just recently taken over by yahoo. Now MSN live is new. This is a whole new spot for you to create a gadget that you could profit from.

Example:

The Coffee Lovers Gadget!

You have a site that works with the gadget, people use the gadget to keep track on the coffee they love, the ones they want to buy.. etc.. The gadget has a restock button that links them to an affiliate shop to purchase that type of brand.

This way you get the same customer returning to make a purchase.. 1 customer making more than one buy.

Ok.. this is an example, but the theory in principle is what you should look at.
Because soon or a later, people will trash the spam and ignore the ads!

10 Blog Traffic Boosting Tips

In every bloggers life comes a special day - the day they first launch a new blog. Now unless you went out and purchased someone else's blog chances are your blog launched with only one very loyal reader - you. Maybe a few days later you received a few hits when you told your sister, father, girlfriend and best friend about your new blog but that's about as far you went when it comes to finding readers.

Here are the top 10 techniques new bloggers can use to find readers. These are tips specifically for new bloggers, those people who have next-to-no audience at the moment and want to get the ball rolling.

It helps if you work on this list from top to bottom as each technique builds on the previous step to help you create momentum. Eventually once you establish enough momentum you gain what is called "traction", which is a large enough audience base (about 500 readers a day is good) that you no longer have to work too hard on finding new readers. Instead your current loyal readers do the work for you through word of mouth.


Top 10 Tips


10. Write at least five major "pillar" articles. A pillar article is a tutorial style article aimed to teach your audience something. Generally they are longer than 500 words and have lots of very practical tips or advice. This article you are currently reading could be considered a pillar article since it is very practical and a good "how-to" lesson. This style of article has long term appeal, stays current (it isn’t news or time dependent) and offers real value and insight. The more pillars you have on your blog the better.



9. Write one new blog post per day minimum. Not every post has to be a pillar, but you should work on getting those five pillars done at the same time as you keep your blog fresh with a daily news or short article style post. The important thing here is to demonstrate to first time visitors that your blog is updated all the time so they feel that if they come back tomorrow they will likely find something new. This causes them to bookmark your site or subscribe to your blog feed.



You don't have to produce one post per day all the time but it is important you do when your blog is brand new. Once you get traction you still need to keep the fresh content coming but your loyal audience will be more forgiving if you slow down to a few per week instead. The first few months are critical so the more content you can produce at this time the better.



8. Use a proper domain name. If you are serious about blogging be serious about what you call your blog. In order for people to easily spread the word about your blog you need a easily rememberable domain name. People often talk about blogs they like when they are speaking to friends in the real world (that's the offline world, you remember that place right?) so you need to make it easy for them to spread the word and pass on your URL. Try and get a .com if you can and focus on small easy to remember domains rather than worry about having the correct keywords (of course if you can get great keywords and easy to remember then you’ve done a good job!).



7. Start commenting on other blogs. Once you have your pillar articles and your daily fresh smaller articles your blog is ready to be exposed to the world. One of the best ways to find the right type of reader for your blog is to comment on other people’s blogs. You should aim to comment on blogs focused on a similar niche topic to yours since the readers there will be more likely to be interested in your blog.


Most blog commenting systems allow you to have your name/title linked to your blog when you leave a comment. This is how people find your blog. If you are a prolific commentor and always have something valuable to say then people will be interested to read more of your work and hence click through to visit your blog.



6. Trackback and link to other blogs in your blog posts. A trackback is sort of like a blog conversation. When you write a new article to your blog and it links or references another blogger's article you can do a trackback to their entry. What this does is leave a truncated summary of your blog post on their blog entry - it's sort of like your blog telling someone else’s blog that you wrote an article mentioning them. Trackbacks often appear like comments.



This is a good technique because like leaving comments a trackback leaves a link from another blog back to yours for readers to follow, but it also does something very important - it gets the attention of another blogger. The other blogger will likely come and read your post eager to see what you wrote about them. They may then become a loyal reader of yours or at least monitor you and if you are lucky some time down the road they may do a post linking to your blog bringing in more new readers.



5. Encourage comments on your own blog. One of the most powerful ways to convince someone to become a loyal reader is to show there are other loyal readers already following your work. If they see people commenting on your blog then they infer that your content must be good since you have readers so they should stick around and see what all the fuss is about. To encourage comments you can simply pose a question in a blog post. Be sure to always respond to comments as well so you can keep the conversation going.



4. Submit your latest pillar article to a blog carnival. A blog carnival is a post in a blog that summarizes a collection of articles from many different blogs on a specific topic. The idea is to collect some of the best content on a topic in a given week. Often many other blogs link back to a carnival host and as such the people that have articles featured in the carnival often enjoy a spike in new readers.



To find the right blog carnival for your blog, do a search at blogcarnival.com.



3. Submit your blog to blogtopsites.com. To be honest this tip is not going to bring in a flood of new readers but it's so easy to do and only takes five minutes so it's worth the effort. Go to Blog Top Sites, find the appropriate category for your blog and submit it. You have to copy and paste a couple of lines of code on to your blog so you can rank and then sit back and watch the traffic come in. You will probably only get 1-10 incoming readers per day with this technique but over time it can build up as you climb the rankings. It all helps!



2. Submit your articles to EzineArticles.com. This is another tip that doesn’t bring in hundreds of new visitors immediately (although it can if you keep doing it) but it's worthwhile because you simply leverage what you already have - your pillar articles. Once a week or so take one of your pillar articles and submit it to Ezine Articles. Your article then becomes available to other people who can republish your article on their website or in their newsletter.



How you benefit is through what is called your "Resource Box". You create your own resource box which is like a signature file where you include one to two sentences and link back to your website (or blog in this case). Anyone who publishes your article has to include your resource box so you get incoming links. If someone with a large newsletter publishes your article you can get a lot of new readers at once.



1. Write more pillar articles. Everything you do above will help you to find blog readers however all of the techniques I’ve listed only work when you have strong pillars in place. Without them if you do everything above you may bring in readers but they won’t stay or bother to come back. Aim for one solid pillar article per week and by the end of the year you will have a database of over 50 fantastic feature articles that will work hard for you to bring in more and more readers.



I hope you enjoyed my list of traffic tips. Everything listed above are techniques I’ve put into place myself for my blogs and have worked for me, however it's certainly not a comprehensive list. There are many more things you can do. Finding readers is all about testing to see what works best for you and your audience and I have no doubt if you put your mind to it you will find a balance that works for you.

Thinking outside the unbox.

Recentley Amazon has released a new addition to the affiliate tools, they have also attached a decent revenue share for all unbox refferal sales (20%).

The widget tool available for unbox refferals is a really interesting tool. If you are looking for a revenue widget that provides your readers/visitors with movie previews as well as provide the direct link to the download page for the movie.

example: http://have-you-seen-it-yet.blogspot.com/

Movie downloading has allways been a major player in the affiliate game. see http://www.platinumpartner.com/, you'll notice how many sites they promote

or Graboid has revolutionary new technology to stream or download high-quality movies and TV shows for free (for now). Join up fast!

You see, many people are looking for free, but a huge percentage are looking for totally legal and now that companies like amazon have joined the movie downloading arena as well as a google adwords lock down on placing PPC ads on copyright material has happened.

Amazon Unbox has movie downloads and television show downloads available now, with more and more content being add lower prices, as well as providing a rental download service.

WNOB - Wholesale & Drop Ship Products

You've probable heard that the best way to make money is to buy low and sell high. But how do you do this and make a profit on the internet. Or maybe you've tried to sell ipods, xboxs, wii's or laptop computers on ebay, but someone always seems to sell these items for less than you can, and still make a profit.

Well you don't have to buy these items and many other items in bulk anymore to be able to offer this in your Ebay Prostore or your Ebay listings anymore.

What you need is a wholesaler that will allow you to buy and ship the item for you. Drop Shipping is one on the best ways to cut cost on items and increase your profit margins.



When you join WNOB, you get the information you'll need to be successful, you'll still need to find a niche market that you can make sales to. What WNOB will offer you is a listing of wholesale products that can be purchased and or drop shipped direct to your customers.

You pay the ebay listing, the wholesaler. The customer pays the shipping and you take the profit. Remember that you'll be making money for the risk factor of not making a sale.

I suggest you start with a few different products. Check the Ebay Hot sellers list for last months sales traffic and go from there. You might not want to pick a high volume item at first. A lot of other affilate marketers are doing just that. Pick something that has a decent price point. Make enough on one sale to drive your next three and so on.

If something doesn't sell the first run, it does mean it's a dud. If you've tried it 10-20 times and it's not selling. You might want to re-write your landing page.
Split test different landing pages to see which one has a higher conversion rate. Remember you're in this to convert!


Get Started now with the products that you need at the right price to profit selling on ebay!

Don't waste time and money promoting products

Notice: If you are new to online marketing, I'll save you time and money.

Right now you might be considering promoting products like movie downloading or unlimited ipod downloads. The issues with trying to promote these products is that. The the competition is high and the profit margins are low. www.platinumpartner.com offers a bunch of such items using the clickbank.com sales engine.

Here is the issues with such products, when know one knew how to download movies off the internet, these sites that showed you how to download, which programs to use, may of been lucrative. But most people have heard of torrent applications and how to copy a dvd now. If not they have found a free site, or have a program they got free with the burner they bought. See you can market something no one really needs.

Unless this is a newbie internet user they won't be buying the information on howto copy dvd's or howto download from the internet. You can still find people and still make a sale of these products, but you won't convert 1 in 20. The 1 in 500 will make impossible for you to turn a profit using CPC.

Now people will even say these Howto, as they are not a scam. They will say that these are scams. If people think a product is worth-less they will request there money back. Now your profits are shrinking ever faster.

Think about it this way. You own a bookstore. Now people come in looking for information. They find a book with the title.. "Learn Howto bake a cake". Wow what a scam, that information is on the side of most cake mix boxes. What is it that makes people buy a book like that.
I guess it's the packaging! Or maybe they put a spin on it. Holiday cakes, Birthday cakes ..etc.

You could still sell the Howto Download Movies, It's just you might need a new spin on it.

Or maybe find something else.

You want to make real money on the internet. Stop using CPC to market other products, create you're own product. Have others market it for you.

Grav Ratings indicate the amount that the systems are being marketed on the internet. In no way are they a reflection of what systems will make you money.

SaleHoo, Build a Niche Store will require you to have a bit of startup cash.
  1. You'll need to have a web-site.
  2. You'll need to invest in product(Salehoo) to sell on e-bay

Build a Niche store will create you a website and you'll be paying for a Domain and Webhosting company.

I recommend that if you are planning on a e-bay niche site, also sell that product as a pay now Ebay listing and linking it on the niche site. Buying from Salehoo distributers show's you who drop ships and who will let you buy in what quantity.

Paid surveys can generate you income, and once you find a good amount of survey companies that you meet the profile that they are looking for, you will find a decent stream of paid surveys and paying panels.

Now 12 Month Internet Millionaire (A) and Forex(B+) and The Rich Jerk(C) are Decent Guides.

The guides are not scams, the are just information on how-to, with a couple ideas of what to do.

  1. How to use CPC to drive traffic
  2. Listing out affiliates
  3. Ideas on free traffic generation (ie. Article and Ezines)
  4. Blogging

You can make money.. I know you can.. I do. Many People Do.. If you find the right product. Create enough lines of information content, then making $500-$2000 extra each month isn't out of reach. You might get lucky and hit it big. Keep trying new things out. Keep your spreedsheets going ... keep an eye on what is going out and what is coming in. If your profit margin is decreasing, try something else out.

Enable Position Preference in your Google adwords

If you're already running campaigns in Google adwords, you might of noticed that you can't seem to get to position 1-3. It's not just googles ranking system that keeping you down. Google is trying to fit everyone in the best they can.

Under campaign settings you need to enable position pref..it's key to telling google your only happy with 1-5 not 1-10+.

If you're running a new ad, remember that the AD text and CPC and the CTR build you a ranking. To get top position, you also need to make sure you set your Daily budget high, and set your ads to run as fast as possible also asking for top position.

****EXTREME WARNING***********
When you set a high budget, target only the keywords you want traffic too.. if you set your budget to 100 a day and you have 400 keywords with high bids, you'll probably be paying 100 a day. Watch an tweak you're campaigns only once a day to avoid click lag.
If you believe the people who say you're ad will run in 15 mins.. your kidding yourself.

This system GOOGLEFREE was designed to reduce the adwords budget, using it you will be able to reduce the amount your paying. maybe getting free clicks, might even get some targeted keywords free. It a workable solution. ** Clickbank refunds if you're not totally satisfied. Try it out. You should find a return on your investment

Commission Junction - just a little rant.

I've been searching the "World Wide Web" well your top 1-10 google entries on Commission Junction tonight.

  1. If you live out-side the US .. yes you will be auto-denied on alot of US based affiliate programs. Yes this sucks.. but it's up to the US based company and what they decided as requirements for the program. This is only Commission Junctions fault only becuase they added that feature to the affiliate approval profile.
  2. If you live out-side the US... find programs offered by companies in your country.. if they are still accepting affiliates they will approve you.

Why am I writing this. Well today I got two emails from programs I was a member of. A couple of online companies are merging and they have decided to move to Linkshare. Between CJ and Linkshare, I actually preffer the management utilities at CJ over Linkshare. The Linkshare interface is a little shotty! But trust me.. I've seen worse.

This is my biggest beef with CJ. I was trying to figure out why after sending a few hundred clicks from a campaign, not a single lead was posted. So I tested it, and posted a lead my self to see if it went trough. It didn't. No harm no fowl!

My computer is clean of spyware, and I had cleaned out my cookies before the test.. so I'm not getting hyjacked.. or even lo-jacked!! [SMILES].

I sent CJ a message and also the affiliate manager.

CJ responded with a message that my account was posting clicks and that all is fine..

The affiliate manager has yet to respond.

I know that in the world of affiliate marketing, skimming is common, i'm sure that companies skim low commission earners to boost profit margins. Or maybe my leads have just vanished.

I bet it was during a yet to be reported outage.

Overall.. it's only one campaign so I've just moved on to another. I just needed to bitch about the trust affilate marketers have in the companies we make money for. Yes we want to be paid. We stay up late nights. Work evenings and weekends and take chances with our own money promoting.

I'm sure every affiliate has sat back bewildered at a lead campaign, may it be filling out a credit card application that you sent 500 clicks or a mortgage refi that you sent 500 clicks to.. or something as simple as a resume submission, and never saw a single commission on a lead. Maybe it's true no one was a lead.. just something that makes you go huh! But we keep on going, cause you do find those companies that have set everything up right, treat the affiliates with respect, and track everything with honesty.

Well to make an actual point in this rant. You must try many different ideas,companies and target the audience that is a lead or sale potential. Doing this makes conversions higher. Work on every angle. If something doesn't work then try something new. If you want to make money on the internet, you'll have a loss column on the books.. it's called an expense! Something you'll use during tax season.

You have to trust CJ and the others. Maybe it's just a flook.. but I'll report it if it happens again here.

I'd love to know if this is something others have experienced. Let me know. Comments are always welcome.

BruisedThumb but I have another.

PPC 4 Free! Could it be True

Secret to Getting Google Ads FREE just $67


A new breakthrough secret is all you now need in order to get your Google AdWords pay-per-clicks FREE!A gentleman from New York discovered what he calls an “oversight” on the part of 99.9% of all marketers that allows him to get otherwise paid-for advertising at Google as well as all other search engines that allow sponsored ads.And no, nothing about his “secret” is illegal – nor does it require that you know someone on the “inside” at Google, Yahoo, MSN, Overture and others.

Instead, the New Yorker boasts proudly “…this is something that I caught onto just before 2000 when there was so much search engine craze running around, and started doing small just to test things at first … but which I later expanded on after getting the hang of it.”This same fellow went on to start and operate sixteen separate online companies selling everything from pet food, DVDs, children’s toys & games, books, software, and sold not only his own manufactured products but became an affiliate for other web businesses – all the while applying his mastermind secret.Over the course of nearly eight years the New Englander confesses “I’ve actually gotten over $87 million in advertising that using my secret I never had to pay for … and the largest share of which was more recently in Google pay-per-clicks as well as other forms of pad advertising at search engines … all of which I got for free …”So powerful is his secret that he’s able to monopolize any niche online, and can always secure the top premium spots just above the usual organic results featured at most search engines.

He still has to set up an account with the search engines – but after applying his secret he is removed from having to pay for all the costs otherwise involved.Again, nothing about his secret is either illegal or robs from the search engines.One spokesperson from one of the most popular search engines said chuckling after being made privy to this amazing secret “Wow! Ha! This is really unique … and in my expert opinion it would only serve to enhance and bring more business to us at [name of search engine withheld for legal & confidentiality reasons] and not cause us to lose business in the slightest. Amazing!”The northerner revealed that in this nearly eight years’ period of time since applying his secret he’s done well over $300 million in sales revenue with a most diverse line of products, and most recently in the last two years netted nearly $166 million after really “buckling down and pressing my secret to its fullest potential.”Now to everyone else’s fortune, the city slicker is releasing his secret for getting an unlimited amount of pay-per-click ads to the general public. But he’s not promising any of us for how long.A bit of an eccentric, the gentleman says “We’ll see just how long I can make it available before it saturates things.”

One famous public web guru pointed out that although this man may gain economically more so as a result of the publication of his secret “he’s already so amazingly rich that whether he continues or discontinues its sale will neither make nor break the man, but not grabbing it for yourself while it’s still available could prove disastrous for you as you may only have one chance, and a very limited one at that, to get this.”It is currently available

at: FREEGOOGLE …so you may want to head on over there now and get it.It’s in a very easily readable format and is quickly and readily understood and mastered by anyone with even a 4th grade reading level.

While you’re there, why not scroll down and review for yourself the huge successes others are now having with this incredible breakthrough in targeted advertising now made freely available to the rest of us?

To your success,

Geekdad




If your new to affiliate marketing start here!

Creating a blog on how to make money is your first mistake if you think you're going to get rich. It doesn't work like that. The competition out there is extreme for the money millionare information. You've probably read this a hundred time over already.

First off.. Buy 1 of the guides on how to make money. They are mostly the same information, but if you don't have a clue where to start, it's a decent place to start.
Why! Cause you don't have a clue, and starting a website and sticking banners on it. Might make you enought to buy a pint of beer in a few months.. remember, hosting fees, your time and effort will eat most of the profit you'll make.

Google cash 3rd edition is actually a nice manual. It will show you a few streams of marketing ideas that create some instant gains. You'll be able to afford a few nights out next week.

You've read google cash!
  • so you've set up and account at Commission Junction, Clickbank and Google adwords(PPC) and Google adsense.
  • pick a product. remember to think about what you are going to market.. Halloween Costumes you think! Well as of this post it's too close, but three weeks ago you could of posted ads to baby stores that ship great costumes at great prices from commission juction. They pay commission on each sale that is made off your ad.. see how this works.. why is it too late.. that has to do will all the other people doing this.. They set up their campaigns in Sept and had them running early to gain better positioning being the first advertisers.. paying clicks up front and getting the ads better quaility scores.
  • research up coming launches of products or events that have a global impact. Meaning you can sell to billions instead of millions.
  • Create niche sites that are 20-100 pages that market products and have your adsense and affilate links on them.
  • Create a blog on the niche topics and monitize the footer with adsense of links of the niches interest.
  • Create Articles and post them with footers that have links back to your niche sites.
  • Create Landing pages for Clickbank products that review multiple links, but have a common intrest.
  • Create Squidoo lenses on your landing pages and place links to the squidoo pages in your footer section of your blog feeds
  • Create a FeedBurner feed off those feeds and Squidoo lense those feeds.

Ok so now you've made a bit of cash.. re-invest it.. get a copywrite to write you a ebook on your topic. Affliate link the ebook to the niche interest. Sell it on clickbank.

Take some more of that money and buy a few domains.

  1. have a pop-over or a pop-in to an email opt in.
  2. ask those opt in's if they would like to get offers on different products.
  3. create mail out's based on 4 or 5 categories.

The biggest issue you'll have at first is traffic to your links. PPC will solve that, but it costs money, but you will make money back.

Using Blogger to show another Web-site.



  • Are your domain names being banned on Google?


  • Did you ever want to use different keywords in your domain name a point to a master site?


  • You don't want to pay for each domain name and pay hosting fee's?


If you're looking to build throw away domains and want to create these on blogger. Create a new account. You take the chance of having the account removed. So you need to point to a different e-mail address.



So you have a new account, you now create a new blog and name it whatever you want. Using your keywords that you are focusing on.



Now go to the new blogs template and select the edit html tab.



Switch to the classic template.

Use a simple HTML Frame template.

When writing an add use descriptive tags

  • How to
  • Download
  • Try

And Adwords Ad is 5 Parts.. Lets say your selling old movies

2. Line 2 and 3 are your reel.

Best Movies, Many Categories!

3. Line 4 is your Display URL. This url must be exactly the same as the final destination, Watch the Capitalizations.

4. This is the action URL, it can be the same as the destination, or to a landing page, or even an affilate html link.

Tip

When you write you ad copy keep in mind to use your main keywords in the Headline.

Use Broad match and Exact matching options matching the headline keywords

[Get Old Movies]

"Get Old Movies"

Also add negative keywords. Your goal is to get Click thru's that convert

-free (stops people search for free old movies)

-new releases for sale

Another Tip, Google adwords has a great keyword tool to help you pick keywords, you can use tools like keyword elite to expand them and find the misspelled version of those keywords.

Last Tip. Start off low.. Move up your CPC on both Content and Search Max CPC. You can gain traffic and sales from the content network, but you'll need to watch closely..

Affilate Tip.

When creating a link to an affiliate, if it's appropriate add a email-opt in box.

Building a niche site, drive ebay affilate sales



Building a nich site has never been easier!
  1. Tap into niche markets, doing this drives people looking for exactly what you want them to buy.
  2. Make site specific. The idea is that you will build many different sites to cover many different topics. Each topic you will be making that topics listings available.
The idea about ebay affilate niche sites is to sell someone else products, drive new ebay users that make a purchase and earn you the new user bonus.

The e-bay affilate information is posted in a earlier post.

Hopefully you've already setup you EBAY account as well as your CJ account.

Build A Niche Store (BANS) is an innovative PHP script which enables you to make money as an eBay affiliate by building eBay affiliate stores (websites) targeted to particular product niches.
With Build A Niche Store you have an immediate choice of 80,000+ niche eBay affiliate stores that you can build across four national online consumer markets...the United States, United Kingdom, Canada and Australia.
You simply choose the national market and the product niche you want to target from the choice of 80,000+ and Build A Niche Store takes care of everything else for you, instantly creating a professional, fully functional, search engine friendly website (like the 2 sites above) containing ALL those products listed in the eBay marketplace relevant to your chosen niche.

The contents of your store will then update automatically (24 hours a day) on a live stream direct from the eBay marketplace as new products are listed for sale and old listings expire, allowing you to focus on building your eBay affiliate business by choosing new niche markets to target, developing your stores using the extensive features of the software and exploring ways to bring targeted visitors through to the products they contain.
There is NO stock, NO shipping of items, NO customer enquiries and NO processing of orders yet you do have an inventory of 60+ million products which you can market and up to 75% of eBay's revenue to earn.


We are proud to say that there is not another piece of software in this genre that has the power and capabilities of BANS.

Google Pay Per Action - Is it worth it

So Google launched the PPA campaign for google adsense.

If you don't have a google adsense account get it now!


Once you have your google adsense account, you can not only access google's content network and place the all too familiar google ads. You can sign up to the Google Referral's beta, this is google Pay Per Action program. You can customize links by categories or pick single creatives.

Now if you've used the Commission Junction Smart zones.. it's google answer to a smart zone, but they control the content for you. They add the companies. You don't have to apply to the company. That being said.

Will google's pay-out's match the other affilate programs like CJ,Linkshare,Red Golashes and such, or will goolge pay out lower. We will see. You don't really get any information on what % is being offered on the commission or what your PPA will be defined on a company basis.

I do like that this way of doing things, On some of my content pages, I don't have to worry about managing that ad space. It's the same reason I like using adsense.
I'm sure for some application the other companies will be a better fit.

When more companies affiliate with google referral, we will have a better Idea on what the PPA (Price Per Action) market will be like.

I'm sure also google ref will lay down a lot of usage rules on using the new referals.

Using Email to Market Affiliates

One rule about marketing to e-mail. You need to make sure your not breaking any anti-spam laws.
If your interested in marketing in this area. You need to.
  • Build or Buy a targeted e-mail address list. Buying an address is actually a shady area. You need to make sure that the e-mail address on that list where obtained in a legal fashion and that the customer base that you e-mail have a sure way to opt-out of any future communication that you send them.
  • Get Creative for your e-mail from your affiliate marketer.
  • Create an attractive HTML page that you can import into a email mailer application. (I wrote a simple e-mail .net smtp application that pulls a template HTML and plugs in the email from a e-mail database and processes it that way. )

Disclaim the email to identify that it's not being sent by the company, that it is an advertisment. Be upfront about what you are sending.

Link the email link back to your site, not the company that you are affiliates with.

Redirect that with a META redirect tag to Commission link.

(This is a great place to tag the HTTPUtility information to a database to record the traffic information.)

Please make sure you read you e-mail contracts with your affiliates. Most will outline what rules and disclaimers you need to follow.

If you really want to be upfront. Create opt-in forms on your websites to allow users to accept email for caterogies they are interested in. This will also help you understand what your users want to read. It builds you a solid targeted user based to promote different promotions.

Atricle Reference

101 Ways to make money on the internet.

Ran accross this article. It's a very cool take on a lot of different aspects of the online market. It touches briefly on a large amount of proven money making niches.

I also like that fact that it's another person, like me not running a ebook for sale scam, trying to slog out what is almost allways free on the internet.

It's so worth a read, I found some parts humerous, but overall 101 Ways to make money on the internet was not a waste of time.

Drive traffic to your new Blog

You've just started your new blog. You've realized after posting for a few weeks that you have had no visitors.
Problem is that no one knows the blog exists and it has no importance on the web, to anyone but your self.
What to do? Well you need to do a few things to start making your blog more publized. A few things you can do to start building traffic.

First, setup your google webmaster tool to point to the new site address. This will give you an idea of how your site is being seen on the web by the search engines. You will need to verify your site with the META tag verify key that google gives you.

Use your e-bay store for even more

Let say you have set up your pro-store or ebay listing to sell Baby Strollers. You are getting 100 to 200 views on that listing but no sale. Turn it into profit by linking an affiliate like Baby Universe to that listing. See, if 1% of that traffic turns into a sale at a affiliate site you could make 20-30 dollars in commission.
The point I'm making on this, is that some people may want to buy brick and mortor, some will buy e-bay some people are just browsers. Make what ever you are selling attractive, but you can always turn browsers into buyers and generate commision, if your product sells and you also sell commission goods than your laughing.
Remember, It's always best to try and sell what is a hot item. Do some research on which ever products you feel worth risking your hard earned money.
Ebay posts a great sellers website that has the previous months HOT items. These may not translate and carry month over month, but some of it can be trend forcasted. Some of it carrys month to month. Some carries seasonal from year to year.

http://pages.ebay.com/sellercentral/whatshot.html Just a little gift! Everyone starts somewhere and ebay has done a pretty decent job at making tools available to make you successful. If you make money, ebay makes money. Ebay is in the business to make money!

Submitting Articles with content links

Some article sites will not accept links in the Body section of the article. Some allow links but restrict the amount of links that they will accept in the body. You will only figure this out by trial and error.

Try using a article submission application. It will help organize your submission sites, passwords and category's as well as semi-automate your submission process.

In the body content you are able to paste HTML code. So if you've already blogged a decent amount of good, timeless reusable content, than you already have a great start of article that can be sumitted.

Lets say you have 1 article and you post it to 50 article sites and those 50 site pass on your article to 50 more sites, you have instant exposure on lets say 2500 sites, with just 1 article. Let's say that you linked your personal site or a affilate link in that. Well the possiblities are endless.

This in theory could with the right article and the right readers provide a great marketing device. "viral" marketing.

So try placing links in the body. Some accept it. Some don't. Some allow it in the resource box.

Keep trying new topics and new idea's I'm sure you might make enough to buy a pint the next time your out. Maybe you'll hit it big. Maybe you be saying this is the best way to create traffic to your site, with out paying for it.

Increasing Traffic to your websites.

Increasing website traffic is basically what every website owner is after and one of the largest money making markets on the internet.
  1. You are paying a advertising program to display website ads (Google Adwords, Yahoo Overture, etc), which may be costing more at a CPC (cost per click) then you like.
  2. You are paying a auto generating traffic generator to advertise your site for you. This I feel is a bit shady as most are pop ups - pop unders, send browser exit redirects.
  3. You are using an SEO company to customize your search engine optimization.

If you are interested in high traffic sites and generating quality traffic, it's best to do a few simple things which position your site to get the traffic you are looking for.

  1. Write quality content, unique content. You can optimize your content with SEO software, but sometimes keeping your site more human friendly can keep your site visitors interested in your content and might ever translate into higher goal conversions.
  2. Use Alt tags and Tooltips on all controls.
  3. Use keywords, titles and descriptions that match your page content
  4. Use Webmaster tools to see how the search engines are seeing your site. Fix errors
  5. Add sitemaps or ROR files to your site
  6. Submit your site to as many search engines you can find. ie Google, MSN,Yahoo,Jade,AltaVista,AOL etc.... you can find some free submission sites that will submit to most of the important search engines.
  7. Build some quality link exchanges with sites that closely match your sites content. In the link that you have them post on your site.
  8. Write articles with diffent topic and match the keywords to those topics.

The biggest point i'm trying to make is quality beats quantiy in the long run. Advertisers and Ad campaigns will pay out better on genuine content. Resuable trow-away content in the long run will end up costing you more. If you can find a new application or need or figure out a market trend, your build your high traffic website of returning and quality visitors.
