Filed Under (Internet Business) by Admin on 06-02-2011

I have created a Top Commentators section on the main page of my blog. As soon as you leave a comment on a post, you will rank highest on the Commentators list with a link back to your site. By leaving only five comments on five different posts, you stand a chance to dominate the list rankings with all five links pointing back to your site. People are naturally curious (I know I am). By having five links pointing to your site people are bound to be curious and follow your links. Instant traffic.

Affiliate Marketing | Lessons from Rome.

Filed Under (Internet Business) by Admin on 02-02-2011

The city of Rome teaches us two very important lessons: Lesson One: Rome was not built in one day. Lesson Two: All roads lead to Rome. Rome in its glory days was the epitome of civilization. The fact that it was not built in one day tells you that there was a lot of thought that, a lot of planning and a whole lot of sweat that went into building one of the greatest cities of all time. When it comes to building your blog and its content: Why do you think that it should be any different? There is nothing worse than seeing a copy of a blog, of a copy of a blog of a copy. You get the idea. The idea is to strive for originality, because both the Search Engines will reward you with a higher than normal rank, and your readers will stay loyal. Rome was not a carbon copy of another city, and neither should your blog be.

Affiliate Marketing | Gone Fishing.

Filed Under (Internet Business) by Admin on 25-01-2011

When you go fishing you need bait, a hook, and a line. Most important of all: if you want to catch it, there should be fish, of course. The bait is used to entice the fish to come closer and investigate more, once there and it decides to bite, the hook is there to keep it there, and once hooked, the line is employed to rope it in.

Your blog should not be a random collection of elements, but it should be a cohesive entity that needs the masterful guidance of its creator. That creator is you, and the more you practice at bringing all the elements together, the better you will get at it.

Affiliate Marketing | Fatal Distractions.

Filed Under (Internet Business) by Admin on 19-01-2011

When I started out as an Affiliate Marketer, I was starry-eyed. Almost like a kid seeing his favorite movie star up close for the first time. I avidly read all the blog posts on the subject, and the more I read them, the more they started to sound the same. All the blogs, layouts and affiliate products started to look the same. The only difference was the name of the blog, and the person behind it. When the one blog post on How I made $ 1000000 in 5 days, the other blog post an entry reading, How I made $ 2000000 in 3 days Pure one-upmanship. When I started looking more closely, I realized that none of their claims could be substantiated. For one, most of the important information is blurred out, and none of these Affiliate Gurus are proudly posing with their non-blurred out checks.
