A Link Exchange Email That Worked

A Link Exchange Email That Worked

Link exchange emails get deleted pretty quickly from my inbox. But I got one today that I not only read, but I replied to it immediately. And after thinking about it for a minute, I thought that there might be a lesson to learn from how the email was phrased. (Because yes, I occasionally send a link exchange email or two myself, and I usually get the same miserable response as everyone else does.)

Here's a reasonable approximation of the email I received.

Subject Line: Red Widgets Review Website

Body:

Hello Randy-

I happened across your website on the internet as I have also spent the last few months building a Red Widget Reviews website with a friend.

I wanted to know if you would be interested in exchanging links to our site.

red-widget-reviews.com

I am just starting out and was reading some of your articles, your "About Me" page, your goal of reviewing red widget review, etc...and you sound like a down to earth person.

Do you have any advice for us on how we can make our site as useful as yours seems to be?

How long did it take for you to get a lot of visitors to your site?

Thanks for any advice you can give us.

Cheers
Polite Webmaster
Co-Editor
Red Widget Reviews

Why This Link Exchange Email Worked

I have some ideas about why this email was so effective, and I'll point them out here. Some of this is common advice found on any number of sites that talk about link exchanges:

• The email addressed me by name, which demonstrates that some thought and care were put into it.
• The email made it clear that they had visited my site.
• The praise for my site seemed sincere.
• The webmaster asked for my advice on how to be successful.

I bolded the last line for a reason; I think it was a critical component of why this link exchange email worked. For one thing, they expressed admiration and flattered me, and also, they asked me for help. These were exactly the right buttons to push with me, and I think they're probably effecitve buttons for anyone else too. Who doesn't want to be told they've done a good job on their website? And who doesn't want to feel smart enough to give advice?

Some More Cool Articles About Exchanging Links

• How NOT to Request a Reciprocal Link from Michael Bluejay, one of the coolest webmasters on the Internet, and one of the smartest.
• Don't Hate on Reciprocal Links by my friend Andy Hagans, a link building expert and an uber-cool dude.
• Reciprocal Link Software discussion from Aaron Wall, another of the smartest people I know in the search industry.

I still think reciprocal links are cool, but automated, dumb links exchanges are uncool. So be smart and trade links without automating.

How to Write Good Web Content

How to Write Good Web Content

Affiliate marketers have multiple techniques to make money with, but the one that will have the longest half-life is publishing good content. Pay per click ad arbitrage will eventually become too competitive, search engines will eventually wipe out spam or at least reduce its profitability to next to nothing, and email marketing will go even further in the same direction as the dinosaur.

But all 3 of the major search engines want to list good quality content in their results, and that's not going to change anytime soon. If a search engine lists low quality content in their results, users will flee to the competition. Riding the "content is king" train will take you a lot farther in the long run as an affiliate marketer than just about any other method. Hence this article about how to write good web content.

Characteristics of Good Content

• Good content is unique. If you think about this for a minute, it will almost seem like this goes without saying, but if you take a look at some of the results in Yahoo or MSN for some high-competitive keyword phrases, you'll find plenty of content that does nothing more than re-hash content that is readily available on many other sites.
• Good content is user-focused. Google has been preaching this for ages now: focus on the user and all else will follow. This particularly useful when talking about the information you put on your website. People search the Internet for things that help them, so how-to articles, tips, and information folks can use is always going to be one of the most important aspects of user-focused web content.
• Good content is well-written. Double check your spelling and punctuation. Avoid the passive voice. Omit needless words. All of the fundamentals of good writing apply to web content. These simple things amount to showing respect, not disdain, for your readers.
• Good content on the internet is easy to read. Bulleted lists, short sentences, and short paragraphs are user-friendly ways to make your content more accessible to online readers. Headings and sub-headings are important too.
• Good web content is honest. Don't make up BS sales letters. If you don't honestly believe in a product, and you haven't used a product, then maybe it's better not to promote it. I built several websites in a particularly competitive industry once. When I finally stopped working on the "salesy" sites and started writing about my actual experiences in this particular industry, the traffic to that new website skyrocketed beyond that of all my other websites almost overnight.

Content Mistakes to Avoid

It's easy to make most of the following mistakes when writing content. Try to avoid them.

• Providing inaccurate information. Lies, falsehoods, and mistakes might rank temporarily, but that will not last. Search engines are going to continue to improve.
• Anything deceptive equates automatically to low-quality content. In fact, deception is, or ought to be, the defining characteristic of spam of all kinds, both search engine spam and email spam.
• Automatically generated pages. These might or might be useful in certain situations, but they never amount to "quality content".

Other Resources Related to Writing Good Quality Content

• Search Engine Ranking Factors from Website Helpers (The first section is about quality content.)
• The Elements of Style - Available for free online from Bartleby, this was for years the best book I'd ever read about how to write.
• Writing for the Web from Jakob Nielsen - Nielsen is recognized as one of the leading thinkers on web useability. His insights into how writing for the web is different than writing in print are fascinating.
• Wikipedia - How to Write a Great Article - The Wikipedia is a volunteer-edited encyclopedia where anyone can edit. It's a fascinating sub-culture on the web that you're probably already aware of, but most people already know about it. Why? Because they offer great content throughout. (With a few exceptions.)

I hope that this article is high-quality content. I probably should do another draft, now that I think about it.

Viral Marketing Examples - Linkbait

Viral Marketing Examples - Linkbait

I'm constantly intrigued by the clever ideas I see and hear about that people are using for viral marketing and linkbait. While it's only loosely related to affiliate marketing, the concept of linkbait and starting an "Idea Virus" is definitely one that can be used to generate affiliate and/or advertising income on the Internet. I'm posting a list of example linkbait and viral marketing successes here to help people get their own ideas flowing.

1. All My Life For Sale - This was originally just a guy named John Freyer who decided to sell literally everything he owned on eBay. Now it's a website, a hardcover book, and a piece of performance art that's on display at multiple museums.

2. One Red Paperclip - Kyle MacDonald posted an offer on CraigsList to trade a red paperclip for something "bigger and better". Since then he has traded up 14 times, and just finished a trade to get a house. According to the Sitemeter on his website, he's receiving close to 200,000 visits to his website daily. If you assume that he's earning an average of $1 CPM for those Google Adsense ads he's got running on the site, then he's earning $6k per month just from that advertising. (And that $1 figure is a total wild guess on my part - it would be much more or much less than that.)

3. The $39 Experiment - Tom Locke got 100 39 cent stamps and mailed off 100 letters to various companies asking for free stuff. He then recorded his responses on his website.

4. The Million Dollar Homepage - Alex Tew decides to sell 1 million pixel ads on his website for $1 each and becomes a huge success story spawning literally thousands of imitators.

5. Pink Bunny Poker - Jeremy Enke auctions off his services as a poker player (wearing a pink bunny suit) at the World Series of Poker. He generates much publicity, many backlinks, and a good deal of money from his sponsor, Golden Palace Casino, who bought his eBay auction. (Golden Palace participates in these kinds of viral marketing stunts constantly, by the way.)

You'll notice that all of the linkbait and viral marketing examples mentioned in this post have some things in common:

• There's actually a person with a name involved in the stunt.
• All of the stunts are outrageous and/or quirky enough to warrant attention.
• Most of them involve a combination of some kind of ingenuity with something that is already on the minds of consumers.

More on the last point. All My Life For Sale took advantge, in part, of the amazing success of eBay. One Red Paperclip borrows some popularity from the incredible success of Craigslist. Jeremy's Pink Bunny idea took advantage of the popularity of online poker, the World Series of Poker, eBay, and Golden Palace. The $39 Experiment is about 100 different companies, almost all of whom are well known.

Can you cook up a recipe for some linkbait now? Can you make money with a viral marketing campaign with these ingredients? I know that I have a couple of ideas now myself.

Reciprocal Linking Isn't Dead

Reciprocal Linking Isn't Dead

People keep saying it, and I for one am tired of hearing it. "Reciprocal linking is dead". Or "Reciprocal linking doesn't work anymore."

Nonsense. A lot of the people who think that reciprocal linking doesn't work just suck at it.

Here's the deal with reciprocal linking, and it's not complicated at all:

Don't link to websites that suck, and don't link to websites your audience won't be interested in.

You don't want websites that suck linking to you, and you don't want to link to websites that suck. Linking to crappy websites is a great way to send a clear signal to a search engine, "Hey! I link to crappy sites. So my site is probably crappy too."

If you can't figure out which websites suck or not, then yeah, reciprocal linking won't work for you. Here's a hint though. If you don't see anything useful or original on a site, then it sucks.

On-topic, high quality link exchanges have a place in any link builder's bag of tricks. And while I don't think for a minute that link exchanges should be the only tool in your toolbox, it's certainly a silly one to leave out just because people go around parroting to each other that link exchanging is dead.

Wicked Fire - WickedFire.com - 10,000 Forum Posts in 6 Days

Wicked Fire - WickedFire.com - 10,000 Forum Posts in 6 Days

There's a new affiliate forum in town folks, and it's off to a big start. The site is called Wicked Fire, and as of this morning sometime, they're up to 10,000 posts and over 800 or so threads. What's impressive to me is how they managed to pull this off in just 6 days. (In contrast, my newly launched movie forum has only managed to generate about 8 members in the last month or so.)

But the brilliance of having an active forum isn't lost on me. It's a white-hat way of achieving a black hat goal: generating tons of content pages without having to write or publish every single page yourself. With an active forum, the users generate the content for you. A forum is even better than a blog in this regard, because in a blog, even when you generate a conversation, you have to start the ball rolling. With a forum, anyone and everyone can start the ball rolling.

Among some of the other gems I've found at WickedFire.com are some links to great sites that got my imagination fired up, including:

• Forum Trends - Which is all about running forums. Why have a blog network when you could own a forum network?
• The Super Affiliate Marketing Blog - I'd seen Jon's affiliate marketing blog before, but like so many things you see on the web, it wasn't something I paid enough attention to. But anyone who can generate 10,000 posts on a forum in 6 days is someone worth paying attention to, in my opinion.
• Hott for Teacher - This is one of the member's sites from WickedFire. It's bizarre, seemed funny at first, then just weirder as you start reading the stories of this really sad and sick women who are taking advantage of young people. This isn't a niche I'd approach to make money with, but who am I to say that someone shouldn't? (Besides that, the design kicks ass, IMO.)

Anyway, that's about it for now, but I'm planning to start blogging a little more heavily here. I'm starting to get the bug again, which I haven't had in quite a while.

GoGuides Directory - GoGuides.org

GoGuides Directory - GoGuides.org

GoGuides is one of the best directories on the Internet to get a backlink from. Not only is it relatively affordable compared to some of the other directories online, but the listings of other websites there are generally of a pretty good quality, which is exactly the kind of listings you want alongside your listing. (Getting listed in a directory full of crappy sites is exactly the kind of listing you want to avoid. My strong suspicion is that search engines believe the old adage about "birds of a feather".)

About GoGuides.org

GoGuides.org is actually a continuation of the now-dead Go network from Disney, which was an earlier volunteer edited directory. It's not as good a quality link as you might be receiveing from DMOZ or Yahoo, but it's still a good solid link from a reputable source, and it's probably one of the few directories that's going to stick around for quite a while, IMO.

There are a couple of different ways to submit your site to GoGuides.org. The easiest way for someone who only runs one site and who just wants to submit and move on is to pay the $69.95 review fee and submit the site. The editors at GoGuides normally turn around a submission fairly quickly, within a day or less, in my experience. You won't see that kind of turnaround time at most other directories.

Submission Specialists at GoGuides

Another option is to become a GoGuides submissions specialist. This membership has 3 levels at 3 different price points:

• VIP for $19.95 per month allows you to submit 5 websites per month.
• Junior Membership for $29.95 per month allows you to submit 10 websites per month.
• Senior Members for $39.95 per month allows you to submit 20 websites per month.

These programs are designed to help website specialists and SEO's offer service to their clients for less money.

Free GoGuides Submissions

I am a submissions specialist at GoGuides.org, and if you're interested in a listing there, please contact me. I'll submit your site for free if you'll provide a link back to my blog, as long as I have any submissions left that month.

More Information About GoGuides on the Web

You can read more articles about GoGuides on the Internet. A couple of the sites worth taking a look at include:

• Search Marketing Info's GoGuides Page
• Wikipedia Article About GoGuides (This article really needs to be expanded. If you're not already participating at the Wikipedia, you should.)
• HighRankings Discussion of Whether or Not GoGuides is Passing Link Popularity

No matter what the topic of your affiliate website, a few good directory listings are good to have. GoGuides is definitely one to consider. Other good directories to look at can be found here: DMOZ Directories. (God bless those DMOZ guys btw; you can always find good stuff over there.)

SEO 101 - Search Engine Optimization

SEO 101 - Search Engine Optimization

I've got a new recommended resource. (It's not actually new, but I haven't recommended it before now.) It's Michael Bluejay's article about search engine optimization. Obviously a lot of people in affiliate marketing want to make money by getting good search engine rankings, and Michael's article will help you do that. His approach can be summed up as "build good quality web-pages", but he goes into a little more detail about how to do that, and about some of the more technical aspects of SEO in his article too.

Along similar lines is an SEO article on Aaron Wall's search engine optimization blog about creating the ultimate resource on a subject as an SEO strategy. Fine reading, this.

Poker Affiliate Programs - PokerStars

Poker Affiliate Programs - PokerStars

I've written about poker affiliate programs before, but I wanted to point toward a specific poker affiliate program in this post, the PokerStars poker affiliate program. They run a strictly CPA deal, which means no rev share, but honestly, having marketed quite a few poker programs in my past life, I think I'd prefer to market nothing but CPA plans moving forward. It's a sliding scale that goes up to $300 per depositing player, so the revenue potential, if you can drive the traffic, is really solid. Definitely worth checking out.

Also, PokerStars is the top poker tournament site on the internet. Every Sunday night they host the largest weekly poker tournament in the world, and both Chris Moneymaker and Greg Raymer were PokerStars players who won the World Series of Poker.

Poker and online poker in particular are still big profitable markets, IMO. The common advice on a lot of affiliate marketing and webmaster boards is to find a small niche market that you can compete in. I think that's great and all, but why not take a shot at something that will make you grow too?

Aren't the most important things we do in life the most difficult ones?

If you can compete as an affiliate in the online poker sector, then you've done something worth bragging about.

Fandango Affiliate Program

Fandango Affiliate Program

Fandango is a website where you can buy movie tickets online. My wife and I use the site pretty regularly, because it's fast and easy and we don't have to stand in line at the theater. It occurred to me today that maybe they have an affiliate program worth taking a look at. So I hopped over to the site, found the link that read "affiliate program", and read their affiliate program page.

Let me go on record now as saying that I hate affiliate program pages that don't outline their commission structure front and center. What on earth would I possibly be more interested in than whether or not I could get a decent commission rate from a program? After reading through the sales hype at Fandango, and taking a look at the "apply to be an affiliate" link, I realized that this program was run through CJ. (Commission Junction.)

Great. I like Commission Junction just fine. So I go log in to CJ and do a search for Fandango, eager to get signed up and start making money selling movie tickets. Then I saw it.

EPC = $0.73 over the last 3 months. Huh?

Then I read the commission structure. These guys pay a whopping 10 cents per movie ticket sold through your affiliate link.

A dime.

I'd make more by running Google Adsense on a movie site. This is one of the most ridiculously low commission rates I've ever seen. Heck, even at 5%, a movie ticket commission would be 3 or 4 times that amount.

Who would be silly enough to promote an affiliate program that pays a dime commission? It MIGHT make sense if you got commissions on all the customers' subsequent purchases too, but you don't. It's a one time commission. One ticket sale, one thin dime.

Classmates.com Affiliate Program - Strange Terms and Conditions

Classmates.com Affiliate Program - Strange Terms and Conditions

I'm really glad that I'm not an affiliate of Classmates.com. Because if I were an affiliate of their program, I wouldn't be allowed to use the word "classmates" on a page promoting their product.

Sounds ridiculous, doesn't it?

But I was going through Commission Junction's available affiliate programs, doing some brainstorming today, and I took a look at their affiliate program. And here are some of the terms and conditions for the Classmates program:

• Publisher may not appear above Classmates.com on any search listing including the terms "classmate" and "classmates". (My comments: Theoretically, the search engines decide where to rank my site in the listings, so this is a silly condition to have for an affiliate program.)
• Publisher may not bid on the trademark term Classmates.com. (My comments: I'm okay with this, even though I think it's a little bit silly.)
• Publisher may not use the dictionary terms "classmate" or "classmates" in advertisements, domains, URL strings, landing pages, or any other content. Publisher may use "high school", "alumni", "schoolmate" or other synonyms. (My comments: This is absurd. Why would anyone be interested in promoting an affiliate program with such a draconian clause? I could understand requiring that they not allow a trademarked term to the left of the tld, but anywhere in the search strings or content? That's crazy.)

Luckily, I'm not an affiliate of their company. So I can use the phrase classmates anywhere in my URL string, landing page, and other content any time I want.

Estimating Daily Visitors Via Alexa

Estimating Daily Visitors Via Alexa

When I was a hard-working affiliate manager, we were always trying to estimate how much traffic a particular website was receiving, because we were obviously interested in how much traffic they could send our affiliate program. If you're an affiliate who buys advertising, or if you're just trying to set benchmarks for your site, you can now estimate how much unique traffic a website gets via their Alexa ranking.

If you're familiar with Alexa, you probably already realize that it doesn't give you anything besides a ranking of how much traffic you get compared to other sites. And you're probably also aware that it isn't particularly accurate. But it's still not a bad tool for setting benchmarks, and if your Alexa rating is improving, that's probably a good thing.

Anyway, here's a tool for converting Alexa ranking into traffic.

The Lazy Pig Ebook Review

The Lazy Pig Ebook Review

Don't buy an ebook called The Lazy Pig. It's about 40 pages long, and the content is almost all available from reading almost any forum about affiliate marketing, Google Adsense, or any web marketing forum. And some of the advice in the ebook is just plain bad.

The Lazy Pig is also full of recommendations for products to help you get started with your "turn $1 into $85" business venture. These are almost always affiliate links which earn the author commission, which makes the recommedations suspect to begin with. And I've used some of the PPC engines recommended in The Lazy Pig, and I can honestly say I wouldn't recommend them to any webmaster I'd like to remain friends with or retain any credibility with.

I was not impressed with The Rich Jerk, but it was a better ebook than The Lazy Pig. But if you're really interested in reading an ebook or two that will help you make some money online, I'll recommend three:

• James Martell's Affiliate Marketers Handbook
• Aaron Wall's SEO Book
• Planet Ocean's Unfair Advantage to Winning the Search Engine Wars

And if you want to learn how to make money using Adsense, you can find plenty of good information on any decent Adsense forum or blog. Jensense is a particularly good blog about Google Adsense.

Joel Comm Adsense Ebook Review - Google Adsense Secrets

Joel Comm Adsense Ebook Review - Google Adsense Secrets

I'm never sure what to expect when I buy and read a new ebook. Sometimes I come across something so completely crappy that I'm just horrified that I gave my money to the author. And sometimes I think holy crap I wish I had written that, or something half as good. Most of the time I just yawn and think that I wish I had the work ethic required to actually put together something mediocre and do the work required to make the money from it.

But the other night, after reading The Lazy Pig, which was dreadful, I decided to pick up a copy of Joel Comm's Google Adsense ebook, Adsense Secrets, and I was pleasantly surprised and filled with ideas after reading it. I'll admit (and I think Joel Comm would also admit) that much of this information is now readily available in various blogs and forums about marketing now, BUT he puts the info together in an interesting way, and in a way that makes you want to actually go implement it.

His explanations of the Google Adsense program and how it works are clear and appropriate for any complete neophyte, but the real value from the book comes from the case studies and the example websites he shares. So many ebooks provide terrible examples that you would be foolish to follow, and they don't share any of their legitimate websites for fear of creating additional competition. Comm's Adsense ebook is refreshingly different in this respect, and he shares his own URL's and several other people's URL's. And all of the examples have done beautiful jobs of integrating Google Adsense with their own content.

Joel Comm is the real deal by the way. He was behind a website called ClassicGames.com, which later was purchased by Yahoo and became Yahoo Games.

Your Only Asset

Your Only Asset

I'm reading a book about Warren Buffett right now, and one of the points made in the book is one that I've heard before, but had forgotten. The book describes what Buffett explains to his managers about how to run their individual businesses.

Buffett tells the managers of his businesses to treat that business as if they owned it. And not only that, but he also asks them to treat the business as if it were the only asset that person would ever own, and the only asset his family would own, for the next 100 years. Then act accordingly.

How would your website change if you took that attitude toward building it? If your website, or your affiliate marketing business, were literally the only asset you could use to provide for your family for the next 100 years, what improvements would you make? What would you get rid of?

Here are some things I would (and should) do:

• Write better content.
• Write more content.
• Spend more money when I hire writers to write content for me.
• Have higher expectations of writers I've hired.
• Proofread and edit my content more thoroughly.
• Be more careful about how I pick and choose my link partners.
• Look more closely at the potential ROI when determining a niche to target.
• Design my site with a long term view.
• Learn CSS better.
• Learn html better.
• Have a professional designer set me up with a real logo.

Content + links.

Quality counts. For both content and links, and when I say quality links, I mean inbound AND outbound links.

It's simple, but not easy. As a friend of mine mentioned on a forum the other day, if it were easy, everyone would be doing it.

My Favorite Blog Posts

My Favorite Blog Posts

I'm going to list the my favorite blog posts I've read this year, the ones that were most helpful to me in running my website businesses. This is an entirely personal list, and might even leave some blog posts out, but it's been a long year. Anyway, if these posts are helpful to you in your affiliate marketing career, then I'll have done something worthwhile this year:

1. How Does Google Collect and Rank Results?

This isn't a blog post, but it was pointed out to me in a blog post from Aaron Wall's excellent SEO blog. I consider myself a reasonably successful search engine marketer, but this article gave me a new perspective on how the search engine process works. One of the best things that Aaron does with his SEO book and blog is increase the amount of context from which you're doing your SEO work in. It reminds me of Charlie Munger's investing approach. He uses a variety of mental models that combine to make you a better search engine marketer, instead of going into a lot of detail about how many links you need and how to do keyword research.

2. How Not to Pick Out a Domain Name

Great post from Aaron again, about how bad some of the domain names are out there, and how to avoid making the same mistakes when buying your own domain name. Can you brand an affiliate website? Hell yeah. (My answer, not Aaron's, but that's why it's relevant to this post.)

3. 10 Tips for Training a Link Developer

This is especially useful in a way that the author never intended. It's useful for learning how to do your own link development. Last night an affiliate marketer I know asked me for advice about one of his sites, and how to improve the conversions there. I told him that I'm pretty much a two-trick pony, and the only advice I ever give is "get more links and write more content". That formula is pretty simple: links + content = traffic. More traffic = more conversions. The post above will help you with the links part of the equation.

4. Content Creation Ideas

If the formula for success in this industry is links + content = search engine traffic, then item # is essential reading for the links advice. But Jim Boykin's post about creating content is pure gold for the content creation advice. I don't have a single site that I couldn't use his list of ideas on, at least a good portion of it.

5. Writing Content

Darren Rowse has a whole category of posts devoted to writing content, and I've included a link to the category here, because I think it's so important. Great stuff in this section, especially this post: 20 kinds of blog posts.

6. Don't Hate on Reciprocal Links

I've learned more from Andy Hagans and Aaron Wall this year than from any other bloggers. Andy's post about reciprocal links is excellent, and it explains exactly what are good and bad reciprocal links clearly. Andy's a BIG fan of one-way links, so I was pleasantly surprised when I saw a post from him defending reciprocal links.

7. Optimal Titles SEO Case Study

This post taught me how to get down and dirty about testing my theories and assumptions regarding what the search engines like and don't like. In terms of putting together a testing methodology, the post above, along with these posts are essential reading:

• Outbound Links Case Study
• Google, Dictionaries, and SEO (the best of the bunch, IMO)

Push those search engine experiments past their normal boundaries.

That about wraps it up, except for a link to one post I made about a poker blogger's post here: The Ultimate Secret to Making Money with Affiliate Programs. It's the best thing I wrote all year, and the post that inspired it, The Ultimate Secret to Winning Poker, was the single best thing I read all year. (My post was actually good enough to get linked to from Aaron's SEO blog, which made my entire year.)

Content Ideas

Content Ideas

Published an article at Poker Affiliate World about getting ideas for content based on the time of year. While the article is specifically aimed at content development for poker webmasters, the principles apply to any other niche you might target, like credit cards, mortgages, etc.

Affiliate Marketing and eBay

Affiliate Marketing and eBay

This is an idea I've played with for a while. Suppose you were an affiliate for some kind of product that costs money, but isn't something that is often sold at a discount or sold used. Like a magazine subscription, for example, or herbal hangover pills.

And suppose you put auctions for that product up on eBay. And the person who buys it sends you the money through Paypal, then you log in through your affiliate link, make the purchase on the customer's behalf, have it shipped to the customer, then make your money on the backend commission.

Is this a potentially useful affiliate model? Has anyone tried this?

It's not something I have personal experience with. I'm just wondering about other folks who aren't interested in building content websites but want to make some affiliate revenue. This might be a viable, if work-intensive, business model.

An Example of an Affiliate Niche Site

An Example of an Affiliate Niche Site

People talk about niches and niche marketing all the time these days, but I think the best way to learn about something is by example. This site, online slots, is an example of a niche gambling site. Someone could take "gambling" as the topic, and design an entire site around that subject, but the site would be large, and it would be very hard to rank for the phrase "gambling" or even "online gambling". AND it wouldn't necessarily even be that profitable, because people searching for something that general could want anything ranging from information about gambling laws to help with a compulsive gambling issue.

"Online slots" on the other hand is pretty doggone specific. Someone searching for online slots isn't interested in Charles Fey and the history of the slot machine. That person is probably not an antique slot machine collector either. So by choosing a niche keyword, you're driving targeted traffic that will have a high chance of converting into revenue for you.

Wheel of Fortune slots online is an even narrower niche, because now you're targeting a person who wants to play a specific slot game online. I don't think in this case that you could design an entire site around online wheel of fortune slot machines, but there are sub-niches of "online slots" and "online slot machines" that you COULD build an entire site around.

You could very easily design a site that reviews specific slot games from specific online casino softwares. For example, Microgaming slots are very popular, and so are Playtech slot machine games. Either one of those could be considered a sub-niche of "online slots" that you could build a decent-sized site around, one that would have plenty of pages of content.

What kind of niches or sub-niches can you think of?

Using Article Directory Content for an Affiliate Site

Using Article Directory Content for an Affiliate Site

It occurred to me the other day that I could generate a pretty big website just using some of the free content that's available over at http://ezinearticles.com/. Let's say for example that I wanted to make a big website about weight loss. That's a fairly high dollar Adsense category, so there's an easy revenue stream, and Weight Watchers has an affiliate program, and so does eDiets. (eDiets is cool because they have a plan for every diet out there, including Atkins and the Zone.)

One site that generates revenue and is considered a great resource on the internet is http://www.answers.com/. As near as I can tell, the content there comes from Wikipedia and some other sources, and none of the content is original or unique to Answers.com. It's just been "re-mixed" to use one of the common black hat phrases that describes what spam site builders do.

But here's the problem with that: duplicate content. Search engines don't like to rank pages with duplicate content very high, and it's entirely possible that you could build an entire site that's 100, 200, or even 500 pages long just using the articles from Ezine Articles only to have the whole thing nuked by the search engines for not having any original content.

The solution? Find ways to make the page that has each article on it less "like" other pages with that same article on it. Your web pages don't include just the text of your content; your web pages also include a sidebar or possibly two with menu items on it. That will help differentiate your content. You could also add a paragraph of your own introducing the article, and a paragraph of your own at the end of the article, with more of your own unique insights and comments.

In the footer of each page, you could add a list of hand-selected, on-topic links to authority sites related to the article's content, along with a description of each link.

You could also use different titles and descriptions for the page.

I've seen different tools that will measure in a percentage how "duplicate" content on one page is to another, and I've also seen different guidelines to how high or low that percentage can be without triggering a penalty. I've seen some guidelines that said no more than 10% duplicate content, and I've seen other guideleines that said no more than 40%. I've tried getting some pages built around the free content at Ezine Articles myself, and I was never able to get the number below 55% or so.

Honestly though...it took so much time and effort to get to that 55% point, I would have been better off writing my own original, unique articles. Or hiring a writer to write them for me.

Keeping up with All of the Blogging

Keeping up with All of the Blogging

I'm constantly amazed at the dedication that other bloggers demonstrate. Doesn't matter what kind of blog it is either. I was reminded of this when I was looking at Problogger's network of blogs on different subjects. Here's a guy who's got blogs up and running on a wide variety of subjects, some of which are extremely lucrative, and some of which probably don't get high dollar ads but have so much traffic that even low-priced ads add up pretty quickly. (Like the Jessica Simpson blog he's running. That one in particular caught my eye because of the post about the "best cleavage" poll.)

If you read my blogs on a regular basis, well...actually, no one reads any of my blogs on a regular basis because I don't publish to them on a regular basis. I think there's room in the world for bloggers who post fewer than 4 times a day to 20 different blogs.

Lists of Directories

Lists of Directories

A lot of talk goes on in search engine blogs and forums about whether or not directory listings help or hurt your ranking. Some folks are from the "any link is a good link" school of thought, while others are only interested in having their site associated with other high quality sites. The latter are picky about which directories they submit to. I think a middle road is probably best. I wouldn't submit to EVERY directory. But I do submit to a lot of directories.

I'm not going to include a list of directories here, because a lot of other people have already created lists. Instead, I'm going to include links to other lists of directories that I've found useful.

1. Link Building Blog - Directories Category has not only a list of directories, but excellent discussion of which directories are good, which ones aren't, and how to tell the difference. Andy Hagans, by the way, is one of the smartest people I know, ESPECIALLY when it comes to link building.

2. We Build Pages Directory List is a list of directories that they will actually submit your site to on your behalf. This is a pretty neat service idea, actually, and I wish I had thought of it first. It's a handy list even if you decide to submit your own sites though.

3. I like Strongest Links' List of Directories because it categorizes the directories and allows you to sort by submission fee and by PageRank.

4. Directory Archives is a list of directories sorted by category. Very nicely done.

5. SEOChat has a thread listing directories. The title of the thread includes the word 'comprehensive', but the thread hasn't had any new activity since July, so surely there are more directories that have sprung up since then.

6. SEO Guy has a list of the best paid directories. It's an OLD thread, but there might still be some gold worth panning for here.

7. High Rankings has a good list of directories in this thread also.

So when you're looking for backlinks, and you need a place to find directory lists, maybe this post will help you out.

Not much to say about this one other than everyone wanting to get started in affiliate marketing should think about this example. Go check it out.

Niche Marketing Little Black Dresses (Business Opportunities Weblog)

Little Black Dress Shop

Great food for thought. Get with the long tail and find a niche.

Another Niche Post

Another Niche Post

A while back I made a list of keyword phrases that were "niche" keywords - such specific keywords that they had practically no competition.

This blog is now #1 in Google for one of those words: "craftsman 315.113860". (I got found for it just today, in fact.)

I should put up an eBay ad immediately for that product search. Their dynamic ads are really cool.

Great stuff.

Martinibuster's Flying Spaghetti Monster Post

Martinibuster's Flying Spaghetti Monster Post

The Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster has been insanely popular and profitable. Martinibuster interviews the man behind the Spaghetti Monster.

There are probably multiple lessons to be learned that you could apply to an affiliate business model, or even a non-affiliate business model.

Viral Marketing and Branding

Viral Marketing and Branding

Another example of a site that's become hugely popular is Beer.com.

I know nothing about the owners of the site, their business model, or how they got to where they're at, but there's no reason you can't learn some lessons from how they became so popular.

The biggest thing they did to start generating lots of traffic was the virtual bartender campaign. Talk about something that got the traffic rolling in. And of course, you can submit your email address to get updates too, and I go back to visit the site every time I get an email from them.

Their content isn't specifically designed to sell a product, necessarily; it's designed to generate traffic. That traffic is then used to generate ad revenue, I'd imagine. No reason someone bright couldn't do something similar using an affiliate marketing model or Adsense to begin with, and then do their own media selling once they have the traffic to warrant it.

Dengan berkomentar yang baik pada semua blog diatas, kita akan mendapatkan backlink berkualitas dari blog do follow pagerank tinggi tersebut.

Harapan saya, dengan rajin berkomentar kita bisa menambah backlink dan dapat meningkatkan pagerank blog kita saat update pagerank nanti. jangan lupa, mungkin saja diantara blog do follow pagerank tinggi tadi, mungkin saja mereka menutup kran do follow nya karena banyaknya komentar spam.

Cara cek blog do follow yaitu :

1. Buka websitenya dulu
2. Tekan ctrl+u, untuk buka source blog tersebut
3. Ctrl+f untuk search, trus ketik follow
4. Tekan next-next kebawah sampai kelihatan code seperti ini:
1. Rel=’follow’
2. Atau FOLLOW“>

Apabila sudah ketemu "follow", maka blog tersebut memang blog do follow. tetapi apabila yang muncul adalah "nofollow" berarti memang tidak do follow. Tapi apa salahnya kita tetap memberikan komentar, selain menambah teman, juga blog kita akan kelihatan eksis. hehehehe...

Cara berkomentar yang benar untuk SEO dan cara mendapatkan backlink berkualitas dari blog do follow pagerank tinggi tersebut yaitu dengan memasukkan judul artikel blog kita pada kolom name, dan memasukkan link artikel kita tersebut pada kolom website URL. Dan gunakan komentar yang baik. jangan sampai spam. Karena blog tersebut akan menutup kran do follow nya apabila terlalu banyak komentar spam, dan upaya kita untuk mendapatkan backlink berkualitas dari blog do follow akan terhambat juga.

Nah, sekian saja artikel kartolo tentang Backlink dari Blog Do Follow Pagerank Tinggi. Semoga bermanfaat dan dapat meningkatkan pagerank blog kita suatu hari nanti.

TRIK MEMPERMUDAH SEARCH GOOGLE / GOOGLING

Artikel ini menjelaskan trik browsing google/googling agar lebih mudah. Seperti cara mencari mp3, mencari ebook, mencari file di magaupload dan rapidshare dengan google. Karena biasanya kita kesulitan saat mencari file download mp3 gratis di google, setelah hasilnya muncul, ternyata situs mp3 itu justru menyuruh kita untuk sign up dahulu dan tidak ada link direct download nya. Cara ini juga jitu untuk download e-book yang memang tidak banyak search result yang menyediakan link download direct nya. Maka dari itu, kartolo sediakan trik mempermudah search google dengan menambahkan beberapa kode pada google search. Ini trik nya:

1. Mencari E-Book dengan Google:

Code: Select all
+(”index of”) +(”/ebooks”|”/book”) +(chm|pdf|zip|rar) +apache
Adalah Query yang menghasilkan Index ebook di server yang berbasis Apache
Judul Buku.[/b]

Code: Select all
allinurl: +(rar|chm|zip|pdf|tgz|lit)
Ganti “judul buku” dengan buku yang ingin dicari.sbgai contoh: Jika ingin mencari “Twilight”, ganti “judul buku” dengan Twilight. Cara ini digunakan jika benar-benar mengetahui judul buku yang dicari.

2. Mencari Warez dengan Google:

Code: Select all
“parent directory ” Xvid -xxx -html -htm -php -shtml -opendivx -md5 -md5sums
“parent directory ” MP3 -xxx -html -htm -php -shtml -opendivx -md5 -md5sums
“parent directory ” applications -xxx -html -htm -php -shtml -opendivx -md5 -md5sums
“parent directory ” Gamez -xxx -html -htm -php -shtml -opendivx -md5 -md5sums
“parent directory ” DVDRip -xxx -html -htm -php -shtml -opendivx -md5 -md5sums

Ganti Kata yang tebal dengan query.
Contoh, jika ingin mencari Limewire maka ganti “applications” dengan Limewire.
jika ingin mencari lagu dari Metallica berjudul Nothing Else Matters, ganti “MP3? dengan Nothing Else Matters atau jika ingin mencari lagu-lagu Metallica tinggal ganti “ MP3? dengan Metallica.

3. Mencari MP3 dengan Google:

Code: Select all
?intitle:index.of? mp3
Cara lain untuk mencari MP3 di google adalah menggunakan Query ini. Setelah MP3 kasih apa yang pengen dicari.
Contoh, Jika ingin mencari Dream Theater maka query-nya akan seperti ini:
Code: Select all
?intitle:index.of? mp3 dream theater

4. Mencari file di Megaupload dengan Google:

Untuk mencari File Video ketik :
Code: Select all
avi|mpg|mpeg|wmv|rmvb site:megaupload.com

PENYEBAB DAN CARA MENGATASI LIMITED ACCOUNT PAYPAL

PENYEBAB DAN CARA MENGATASI LIMITED ACCOUNT PAYPAL
Untuk seorang internet marketer, mempunyai account paypal merupakan hal yang sangat wajib. Karena proses transaksi yang sangat secure dan cepat, paypal telah menjadi payment processor paling diminati dalam proses pembayaran segala sesuatu secara online. Anda semua pasti sudah mengerti Ebay, yaitu situs lelang terbesar yang memang mengkhususkan diri untuk bekerja sama dengan paypal dalam hal sistem pembayaran. Itu menunjukkan bahwa paypal merupakan metode pembayaran yang paling aman. Saking amannya, sistem juga mendeteksi segala aktivitas pada account paypal kita. Hal yang paling sering merepotkan kita tentunya adalah paypal limited account. Apakah yang dimaksud paypal limited account? yaitu pembatasan aktivitas account paypal kita. berikut ini adalah beberapa penyebab limited account paypal;

1. Account anda baru saja terverifikasi (baik menggunakan Credit Card asli maupun VCC(Virtual Credit Card)).
2. Anda terkena limit karena PayPal menjaga account anda sebab admin PayPal mendeteksi terjadinya login ke account PayPal anda oleh pihak ketiga (orang tak dikenal selain anda). Yang ini asal usulnya karena terdeteksi 2 IP address login bareng atau login dengan pergantian IP address dalam waktu yang sangat cepat.
3. Anda baru saja membuat account PayPal, tetapi Anda langsung menerima dana dalam jumlah besar (dan Anda langsung request untuk withdraw) atau langsung dibelanjakan atau langsung dikirim ke akun lain secara keseluruhan.
4. Anda menerima pembayaran dengan deskripsi yang kurang jelas.
5. Anda sering salah memasukkan password atau email PayPal.
6. Account Anda personal, tetapi Anda sering berganti-ganti IP address.
7. Anda dicurigai memiliki dua account berbeda dengan nama dan tipe yang sama.
   

Semua hal diatas adalah penyebab utama limited account paypal. Nah, lalu bagaimana cara mengatasi paypal limit tersebut? Berikut ini beberapa usaha yang dapat kita lakukan.

Penyebab limit paypal No. 1 : Bila Anda baru saja ter-verifikasi, kemungkinan account PayPal anda belum langsung bisa digunakan untuk transfer, jadi kita hanya perlu menunggu sampai beberapa hari, umumnya 3 hari.

Penyebab limit paypal No. 2 – 7 : Bila Anda terkena limited account karena kasus ini, maka setelah anda login, pada layar akan muncul tulisan seperti yang terlihat pada gambar berikut :

Bila anda mengalami hal ini, silakan klik pada link bergaris bawah dan berwarna hijau “Resolution Center”, kemudian anda akan sampai pada halaman berikut :

Dari keterangan di atas terlihat bahwa bila anda terkena limited account, anda hanya bisa : Menerima pembayaran, menempatkan logo pada list penawaran atau website anda, dan meng-update informasi account anda. Seperti password atau security code.

Hal yang TIDAK BISA anda lakukan: mengirim atau menagih uang, transfer elektronik dari account anda/withdraw ke bank atau menutup account anda.

Pada kasus di atas, terlihat bahwa yang belum “complete” hanyalah “Proof of Address”, maka anda harus klik link “resolve” seperti yang saya lingkari, dan Anda akan dibawa ke halaman berikut ini :

Tidak menutup kemungkinan PayPal meminta proof (bukti-bukti) yang lain. Misalnya bukti scan kartu kredit atau tagihan bulanan kartu kredit. Nah, bila Anda menggunakan VCC maka carilah jasa pembuatan VCC yang bertanggung jawab dan memberikan support penuh ke pelanggannya, bila suatu saat dimintai bukti-bukti tersebut Anda tidak perlu bingung lagi.

Hal yang perlu anda ingat :

1. Semua nama dan alamat dokumen yang anda scan harus sama dengan nama dan alamat yang terdaftar di PayPal.
2. Sebisa mungkin penuhi semua permintaan, bila tidak bisa, berikan alasan yang jelas dan masuk akal, sertakan juga bukti yang dapat menggantikan (serupa).
   

Kemudian Anda klik upload files (seperti yang saya lingkari)

Dan Anda akan sampai pada halaman berikut :

Beberapa dokumen yang terbukti paling efektif untuk membuka limit PayPal, yaitu :

• Kartu identitas (KTP, SIM, NPWP, Paspor)
• Tagihan rekening (Listrik, telepon, kartu kredit, seluler pasca bayar)
• Scan halaman depan buku tabungan yang ada nama dan alamatnya
• Scan kartu kredit
• Bukti pengiriman barang dari luar negeri yang mempunyai alamat yang sama dengan alamat paypal kita seperti bukti pengiriman USPS (menurut pengalaman saya)
  

Usahakan dalam mengirim dokumen selengkap mungkin dan jangan lebih dari 7 hari. Bila Anda tidak memiliki rekening (listrik, telepon) karena atas nama ortu atau kos kosan, maka Anda dapat mengirim scan buku tabungan yang ada Nama dan Alamat Anda sesuai yang terdaftar di PayPal. Yang penting harus sama dengan identitas pada account paypal.

Bila bukti scan yang Anda kirimkan dapat diterima oleh PayPal, maka dalam waktu kurang dari 3 hari limit akan terbuka. Tetapi bila tidak / belum diterima, maka Anda akan mendapatkan tambahan requirement via email atau bahkan tidak ditanggapi sama sekali oleh PayPal apabila Anda tidak bertanya ke PayPal. Nah disini Anda harus menambahkan dokumen selengkap-lengkapnya seperti yang saya list diatas.

Lalu, bagaimana cara aman dalam menjalankan dan menghindari Limited Account?

1. Bersabarlah dalam menerima respon dari PayPal, banyak kasus dari rekan kami yang tidak dapat menyelesaikan “Limited Account” dan terkena suspend/banned hanya karena mereka tidak sabar. Apabila anda ingin langsung direspons, anda bisa langsung menelepon pada hotline number Paypal Inc.
   
2. Jangan memaksa PayPal untuk membuka limit dengan segera dengan cara menelepon dan mendesak Customer Service PayPal, karena hal tersebut dapat memancing perselisihan yang lebih parah.
   
3. Gunakan bahasa yang santun dan sopan pada saat berkomunikasi dengan PayPal melalui email maupun telepon, hargai dan hormati keberadaan mereka sebagai penyedia layanan pembayaran online.
4. Biarkan pihak paypal bekerja dengan baik dengan memberi waktu kepada PayPal untuk menganalisa kasus Anda dan usahakan penuhi semua persyaratan yang diminta PayPal. oleh karena itu, identitas asli sangat dibutuhkan.
   
5. Penting bagi anda yang sering membeli paypal balance untuk membeli sesuatu online di Ebay, jangan hanya melihat rate harga yang murah, cari yang standar dan terpercaya, karena tidak menutup kemungkinan itu merupakan hasil dari kegiatan ILEGAL seperti carding dan phising.

Ladang Digital

Internet sebagai ladang dunia digital di planet bumi , banyak sekali motivasi pengguna dalam memanfaatkan segala kemudahan yang didapat dan semua mempunyai nilai masing-masing menurut apa yang bisa diambil dari kebutuhan individu tadi , kemudian ini menjadi tempat timbulnya "produk" baru penyimpangan perilaku pengguna yang bervariasi pada umumnya dikenal dengan "cyber crime" (kriminal internet) oleh "Hacker" (penguna internet / yang suka mengolah kode program) tetapi saat ini belum ditentukan spesifik secara international dari penjabaran "cyber crime" yang secara umum hanya diketahui jika seseorang merasa tertipu atau dirugikan saja . Menyikapi hal ini tentu anda harus waspada dan berhati-hati . Seperti contoh kata kunci dari mesin pencari yang sempat mengarahkan kehalaman blog ini : cara mengetahui email orang sebanyaknya . Kemudian : cara mengetahui pasword orang , dan lain-lain yang menurut saya dari kata-kata ini adalah orang yang ingin melakukan sesuatu atau bertujuan tindakan yang tidak baik . Jadi kenali perilaku menyimpang yang bertebaran di dunia online dan perlu di tekan seperti :

• Pengiriman email spam dengan tujuan tertentu .
• Blog/site dengan content porno,atau perilaku menyimpang yang merusak moral anak-anak .
• Penawaran suatu barang yang membuat cepat kaya .
• Program membongkar kode pasword .
• Menyebarkan aliran sesat yang membuat orang lain celaka .

Dan lain-lain , untuk itu hati-hati terhadap penipuan di internet dan segala bentuk kejahatan baru , kemudian menekan menyebarnya perampok online sangat penting dilakukan .
