Reminders Calendar Helps Affiliates

tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , and

American Greetings has come out with a new product for their affiliates to market. It’s an online calendar system that helps the user to remember important dates … dates that they might want to send an email greeting for.

The online calendar is a free service provided to their customers as an added value. Promotional services like that are always helpful to affiliates looking for new marketing angles.

And, one feature that I thought was very cool was that the calendar can send you reminders by text messaging your cell phone. No more forgetting birthdays, anniversaries, and special days. I don’t about you, but that free service would help keep me out of trouble!

The AmericanGreetings.com affiliate program pays a nice 40%-60% commission rate payout for every new subscription. The parent company also owns BlueMountain.com, which is where I have my account, and they offer a combined affiliate program. So, you can promote both services and get paid as one combined affiliate program. That means payouts more often for the affiliates!

Full Disclosure - The Full Montey

tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , and

I was reading a very interesting article on TechCrunch tonight and thought it was news worthy, and when I saw that PayPerPost was offering me a few bucks to chat about this article that didn’t hurt either. Always nice to get paid for chatting about things I enjoy chatting about.The article is titled “PayPerPost Does Something Right” and it’s referring to the PayPerPost blog.The article is leaking the news that this coming Monday, PayPerPost will be making a significant policy change … and according to Michael Arrington it’s a positive change.

Even more so, I whole heartedly agree with the soon to be announced change.

As of Monday, bloggers who write for PayPerPost will be required to disclose that they are being paid for their posts.

I’ve started to blog about this topic a little when I wrote A Few Posts Here and There, and not because I knew change was coming. I didn’t. I think it’s the ethical thing to do. I think that when a blogger is earning some income through using their posts to feature advertisers, then they should disclose it. We’re kind of the Paul Harvey’s of the blogging world if we don’t make that distinction.

This move by PayPerPost is most likely related to the FTC’s moves to force disclosure of word-of-mouth advertisements.

I actually think a Disclosure Policy is and should be in the making for every blog that runs advertisements on them … and I mean every blog.

Going Full Montey

tagged , , , , , , , , , , , and

As some of you know the FTC has made moves to force disclosure of word-of-mouth advertisements. This namely affects bloggers, newletters, ezines and discussion groups … places online where there is a mix of word-of-mouth communication and advertisiments.

I’ve been blogging a little about it myself, and getting paid to do it too I will gladly say.

Here are the links to my posts on this topic: A Few Posts Here and There and
Full Disclosure - Full Montey.

Not every post I make on this particular blog is a paid post, only a few are. But, I think it’s fair and ethical to develop a page dedicated to a Disclosure Policy.

On Monday, there’s going to be a lot of announcements about Disclosure Policies and so, I thought I’d help out the Affiliate Guild and 5 Star folks who might be affected by the FTC’s changes.

A new website has been created to help you develop your own Disclosure Policy and I highly recommend you go there and get your Disclosure Policy done and posted as soon as possible. The advertisers will be requiring it becuase the FTC will require them to only do business will those who disclosed the they are being paid.

Some of you might know who Paul Harvey is. He’s an longtime radio personality. If you’ve ever listened to his show, it’s really hard to tell where his news starts and where his ads take over. He presents ads in the same tone and along side the news. It’s very confusing to people listening to his show.

Bloggers and others, who are paid for their word-of-mouth ads are confusing to their readers … when is it a post that’s paid and when is it not.

We don’t want to be the Paul Harvey’s of the Internet.

There’s nothing wrong with paid ads, and there’s nothing wrong with disclosing that they are paid ads or that your site is running paid ads.

Hot Affiliate Program!

tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , and

Absolutely one of the coolest affiliate programs I’ve seen in awhile.I say that because I like the products a lot, but why wouldn’t I? I’m a geek at heart!

I never thought of Water Cooling and my computer’s box case in the same thought before, but that’s exactly what Xoxide.com has gotten me to do today.

Water Cooling

It’s a fair simple concept, but you really should click the link to see the photos to get a full idea of how the Water Cooling cases work.

Makes me want to go get some fish!

Pretty Lights

You have to check out the ULTRA 550W X2-Connect Power Supply in Titanium with Aqua Blue UV Lights. It glows! What else does it do? I don’t know. It glows!

I’m kidding, … the ULTRA 550W X2 was designed for ultimate gamer environments, but so is the Xoxide UFO Ultimate Aluminum Cube Computer Case. It glows too!!!

Xoxide Computer Cases

There are a whole host of gamer’s computer cases to be honest with you. This stuff is a really hot market right now.

       

Their Affiliate Program Information:

Are you a member of LinkConnector? That’s cool because Xoxide uses their tracking software. Their linking options include direct links to specific product pages, sections, or the home page.

Xoxide pays out 8.00% on any affiliate generated revenue. That’s the good news, the bad news is that the cookies set are only good for five days after clicking the affiliate’s link to Xoxide.

Xoxide affiliates are paid through LinkConnector tracking on the 20th of each month.

Affiliates should remember what’s cool about using LinkConnector is their naked link technology. You will have to ask your Affiliate Manager to add you to the Xoxide’s naked link program.

Stag and Hen Weekends

tagged , , , , , and

I just love saying that … Stag and Hen Weekends … sounds absolutely naughty in a woodland creature sort of way.So it’s all about an all girls get away and an all boys get away … and never the two shall meet because … it’s not about meeting others.Boys must be boys and go romp through the great outdoors and do very male things together. While girls must have their princess parties and pajama parties and whatever other themed parties they can come up with.Really, that’s what Stag and Hen Weekends are about, gender specific themed parties and adventurous get togethers. Sounds like a lot of fun to me!

Red Seven Leisure sponsors these events. And again, there’s no affiliate program for these guys … hey, UK affiliate network guys! Call these stags and hens up and get an affiliate program hooked up! This is a great niche and could do really, really well in social networks where people have disposable incomes to go play.

How about a Clay Day? http://www.redsevenleisure.co.uk/packages/index.php?PackageID=597 Nothing says friendship like a little mud under the finger nails, eh?!

Easy Peasy Blogging

tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , and

There’s a reason they call me the Affiliate Blogger, because have I got an affiliate blogging affiliate program for you!

Try saying that ten times really fast!!!

Listen up now, how would you like to earn some extra income for your blogging efforts? Yeah, I saw your ears wiggle.

Have you got a blog that’s got a decent page rank posts at least 20+ posts a month and is at least 90 days old? Yes, you may proceed. No, read on anyhow and when your blog matures come back to this idea.

So, here’s the concept. You’re going to blog anyhow, right?! So, why not pick a few topics to blog about where you earn a few bucks for your efforts.

You could be earning blog money if you qualify to be part of the PayPerPost.com team of paid bloggers. It’s stupid silly easy if you follow their guidelines and provides a service for their merchants as you help them get a buzz on about their products or services.

Content Monitization

tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , and

Google toss you out on your ear for no good reason? And now you’re looking for another way to monitize your website or your blog?

You should probably take a look at Triond.

Triond is a fairly new content monitization service and covers a wide range of topics:

    1. Recreation
    2. Gaming
    3. Computers
    4. Kids and Teens
    5. Politics
    6. Graphic Design
    7. Social Sciences
    8. Sports
    9. Cooking
    10. News

There are probably more topics, but that should give you some idea of their range to see if your content can match their ads. They’re looking for unique content to publish, so if you’re a writer this is probably a good match for you.

Seems like a straight foward system for publishers. You write content, submit it, if approved they publish it on websites that match the content and that generates revenue all the way around.

Squeezed Fresh Instantly

tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , and

Are you one of those bloggers that likes to see stats on the success or almost success of your blog’s popularity? Have I got a main squeeze for you!

First, you need an account with Text-Link-Ads.com… so, do that first (a new window will open for you).

Once you get your new account set-up or log-in to your existing account, navigate to the green Make Money button on their page. A drop down menu opens and you want the link called Free Tools.

On the Free Tools page there’s a fun litttle tool called Blog Juice Calculator … click it.

And here’s where the 100% Pulp Fiction begins!

Blog Juice Calculator will show you how well your blog ranks in relation to other blogs of a similar niche. I’ll warn you ahead of time that the Categories are very limited. I’d suggest trying a lot of them to see where you’re stronger.

Now keep in mind, this means stronger based their criteria … but it’s pretty good criteria if I do say so myself.

You can even add a competitor’s blog and run a search … then you’ll see where they are in comparison to you.

It’s also a great way to see what blogs at the top look like … figure how to become one of those top blogs if that’s your goal in life.

Anyhow, a cool tool and well worth the Free price of joining Text-Link-Ads.com.

SEO Writing: Text Links for Better SEO

tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , and

Let’s talk a little more about using Text Links for better SEO placement becuase it’s a very relevant tool that you have at your disposal and something that you should consider exploring.

Working with text links to help with your SEO rankings is going to involve a good solid chunk of time. So, don’t think that this is an easy solution because it’s not, but it is solid … at least it is for now. Here’s some search term improvement techniques for you to take into account:

1. Link Exchanges

Used to be everyone was exchanging links with anyone else who give them a link. Then Google danced and bamm … doing that will get you lower placement. So, you have to be smart and ONLY exchange links with other domains that are relevant to your site’s topics. Do that and you will see your domain move up the ranks.

2. Billboards

This is something kind of new and is working for now until Google bans the companies offering this service. I’d say use it while it works my friend!

Sites using Billboards are noticing significant rank increases. One site recorded the following…

Over the last 3 months, we have added about 20 unique billboards … We did about 2 per week, and every week we would see position moves of 1 - 2 positions. This is an extremely effective tool because it gives you relevant backlink content on different IP’s. Take the time to write good article/news stories and plug your company or product. This technique will pay off. Don’t believe me? pick an obscure term without competition, and put up 2 - 5 billboards using the term as anchor text through-out your BB’s and you will see position moves within 4 weeks.

The use of Billboards is currently a very good way to get your website relevant positioning in a shorter period of time and you can do so for reasonable fees. You only need to pay for Billboard space on another’s IP for 30 days, by then the search engine will have found you. Make sure the IP is spidered by all the major search engines regularly. After 30 days, you can remove your page and go on to the next IP. Keep doing this and you will build a repository of text rich backlinks to your own domain. Very yummy search engine food!

3. Text Link Advertising

Text link ads are very affordable for those not wanting to dedicate all the time it takes to getting relevant backlinks. Okay, here’s what I think is the best strategy with regards to buying text links. Most likely that PR8 website isn’t going to get you any higher placement than the PR4-PR6 will. That’s my opinion, others will disagree. My own testing is showing Google really doesn’t pay much attention to their own PR system … who knew?!

So, buy links that are PR4-6 and don’t pay over $25 for them … unless of course they happen to be mine … lol. Here again, I’d recommend you use Linkworth and use their set of tools to determine the worth of any link you might be considering … those tools will even help you with domains that aren’t in the Linkworth repository … hint, hint!

These types of one-way links will really help your placement. If you can get one-way links from other sources for free, go for it and make sure they have better PR than you do!

4. Content Development

Well now here’s a novel idea, the more content you ad to your website, then better your rankings will be … and go one step further, you must do so on a consistant basis … like every two weeks ad a new page.

Ad pages with 250-500 words of relevant content and relevant links.

And, this is really important … make sure all your webpages have different content by at least 40%. Google is so smart it actually knows if you’ve got the same page up on the domain … and it knows if you’ve got the same domain mirrored on other domains.  You have to do the work!

5. Menu Structure

Make sure the search engines can easily spider every page on your website. I prefer to hard code all my links … including the domain name info. Taking short-cuts only hurts you.

Make sure you use keywords in your menu links and make sure the search engines can easily follow your links from the top level to the second their third levels.

6. Website SEO

Use the H1, H2 tages and relevant keywords through out the site. Keep keyword density around 2-5% … going over will cause you to drop in the ranks. I speak from experience on that one.

7. Schedule Regular Updates

Like I said, you must consistently add new content to your website  to keep the search engines well feed and happy. You must get down and dirty and do this part, if you don’t … those purchased links aren’t going to help you get all the way there.

8. Hurry Up and Wait

It takes time to make all these things happen and with each step you have to sit back and see what result it had, if good then you step again. It’s like a chess game … really think about your next move and you can get to the top.

And while you’re waiting, put up a page that offers your viewers text links and graphical links back to your website … create a “link to us” page. It’s free! And, if your website is interesting, you’d be surprised how many people will link to you as a result.

SEO Writer: The Truth about Search Engine Optimization

tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , and

While the basics of Search Engine Optimization or SEO are pretty much textbook, it isn’t the textbooks that you’re competing with, it’s the competition … who within the most competative markets make it almost impossible to get to that search engine position of being number one. Discovering the Truth about Search Engine Optimization will require an analysis of every factor of optimization.

Professional SEO

Profession Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is more than simply understanding the goal of a website. The real SEO Professional, or real ‘Search Engine Optimizer’, will do extensive query-based keyword research because they know professional optimization needs a strong keyword foundation.

SEO professionals ask the all important question … Who is the “target audience” or the “target market” … and then, they work to create a website that brings their content to that audience through the search engines.

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) involves:

  • Optimizing every page’s page titles, meta tags, attributes, anchor text and more.
  • Theming of the primary domain, sub-domains and supporting web properties (such as blogs, forums and companion websites).
  • Content is king … and paramount to good optimization.
  • Search engine friendly GUI navigation (internal linking strategy).
  • A must have ‘inbound link’ building strategy (external links coming in).

The professional SEO (search engine optimization) knows that if you want to be found in the top of the search results for a competitive keyword term, you have to cover all your search engine optimization basics and more. That means both, exceptional website on-page and external off-page SEO, as well as a fully comprehensive link strategy.

Professional SEO Company

Any Professional SEO worth hiring understands that effective SEO (search engine optimization) constant continuing education because the search engine algorithms and the rules search engines use to position a web page within the search engine results page (serp) are always changing. The search engine most challenging to the SEO professional is Google. Here’s Google’s tips on things to look for in an SEO company:

  • Be wary of SEO firms that send you email out of the blue.
  • No one can guarantee a #1 ranking on Google.
  • Be careful if a company is secretive or won’t clearly explain what they intend to do.
  • You should never have to link to an SEO.
  • Some SEOs may try to sell you the ability to type keywords directly into the browser address bar.
  • Choose wisely.
  • Be sure to understand where the money goes.
  • Talk to many SEOs, and ask other SEOs if they would recommend the firm you’re considering.
  • Make sure you’re protected legally.

Professional SEO Strategy and Conversion

The truly Professional SEO and Search Engine Optimization Company understands that there are other considerations to be kept in mind.

For example, a website must not only be optimized for search engine spider algorithms, but it also has to remain optimized for the visitor as well. Ranking number one in all the major search engines is what gets the visitors to your website, but then the website must convert those visitors into actual sales.

Professional SEO is like Royalty

If content is king, then website design is queen. The combination of the two, if done correctly, will produce results for both your search engine rankings and your revenue. While keyword location, weight (absolute and relative), density, proximity, frequency, keyword targeting … is a important part of the puzzle, how the code for the website is created and the linking strategies are equally considered royalty in the world of the professional optimizer. The knowledge of how best to accomplish that is always changing and that’s why a real SEO professional who is on top of the trends, can be worth gold to the success of your business.
