I posted a question about buying a domain name for programs I start promoting. No one had responded. I later started looking at affiliate mareketers blogs. I stumbled upon the answer to my question on Shawn Collins’s Affiliate Tips’ blog. Doing a bit more research at work, I found out that you can’t redirect to the company’s landing page on Google.

Yesterday, I was approved for two affiliate programs. The challenge now is trying to figure out how to promote them. It looks as if I’m going to have to purchase a url to associate with each program. I’m waiting for approval from the other programs to determine which program to invest into. … Read entire article »

First, I like to say that I’ve reviewed the Profit Lance course. Wednesday, I requested a refund for the course. I found it’s just not worth $77.00. Here’s my reason why. Not 100% orignial material. If you put together a course, at least make it your own material. It seemed at lot of the material were pdf files on topics related to affiliate marketing. Trying to get my refund was a challenge too. Clickbank doesn’t have a customer service number that you can call directly on their website. I had to Google the name of the company until I found a … Read entire article »

Where’s the beef?  After work, I was able to log onto Profit Lance and view again all of the content. I particually wanted to focus on the affiliate marketing section.   After reading a few PDF files, it seems the next step for me is to choose a affiliate program and start promoting (generating traffic). Profit Lance lays out 9 ways to generate traffic. None of these are secrets, however, he does provide E-books that go into great detail. I’m starting with Pay Per Click. … Read entire article »

photo credit: PPDIGITAL    Permalinks and Keywords Everyday as I trek along the path to learning search engine optimization, I stumble upon some little tricks to getting web traffic.  Today, I learned about Peremlinks. Each post in your blog is given a unique url. I’ve been using WordPress’s default settings. Default Date and name based Numeric Custom The default will create a url with a /?p=123.

Traffic Report Week ending 4/12/08 This week I’ve been able to increase or double my traffic on a few days just from the forums and Entrecard.

photo credit: j.junlong     I just had a brainstorm of an idea while responding to a beginner blogger like myself. I just thought of creating a mastermind blogger’s group. There is so much information out here that it hard to cover it all. What if we had a few serious bloggers who got together everyday on a topic like creating web traffic, css design, or search engine optimization? I’m going to be creating a page specifically for this. If anyone is interested, leave a comment and addtional details will be sent. I think this is a great idea that will benefit all bloggers. … Read entire article »
