Internet & Affiliate Marketing News

I have never seen so much negativity in my entire life. Have you ever gone to the scam.com forum? Well, I suggest you not to. Google has already penalized them by dropping their rankings.

Anyway, the members of this forum are in there all day long calling everything and everyone a “Scam”. Oviously I went to the forum because they started basing my name without even revealing their real identity, which is illegal by the way in all 50 states.

I had my brother go through some of the posts there. Just by browsing the scam.com forum for 1 hour put him in a depression mode and bad mood for entire day.

The truth is that those people are simply jealous because they are not making any money online. They will call everyone a scammer, but won’t reveal their identity.

Their forum should be banned from search engines in my opinion. I am sure someone is going to sue them sooner or later. I understand that the owner can’t be held responsible for people posting their opinion, but not when it violates the state laws.

Some of those individuals are simply crazy and should be banned from using the Internet. They will call you names, post your personal contact information etc.

I had to make this post because those people seriously need to get a life.

The more competitive pay per click market gets the more you need to think outside of the box. Google Adwords is one amazing traffic generator for those who know how to use it.

Most of the affiliate marketers keep failing with Adwords due to cost per click being too high and not being able to gain decent ROI.

How can you profit with Adwords even though the bid prices are going up like crazy lately? Well, like I said you need to think outside of the box. In this post I want to talk about current events. When something major happens in the business industry (doesn’t matter if it’s bad or good) someone is going to make money on it.

All you have to do is watch news on TV, read sites like CNN, WashingtonPost etc…and research latest headlines.

You should also be a member of at least 3-4 CPA networks like Azoogle, RoiRocket, etc. Then when you find a major event, you should look for relevant offers on those affiliate networks.

If you can find some good CPA offers, most likely you could set up quick profitable campaigns on Adwords or any other major PPC network for that matter.

This method could be very profitable for those who know how to spot a good opportunity. You could literally generate $1000s within 1-2 days using this strategy.

I know that many of you stumbled across the income opportunity called Reverse Funnel System. So let’s take a look.

You pay $50 to be able to fill out an application for Global Resorts Network which is another business opportunity that costs like $3000 to join.

Global Resorts Network offers discounted travel deals for its members. Their members make money by reselling the program for a nice commission.

Why use Reverse Funnel System instead of driving traffic directly to GRN? Well, because your leads are paid for. If you can launch a pay per click campaign and drive people to your RFS page where they need to pay $50 before they are presented with GRN, your ROI is going to be much higher.

On the other hand, this could result in many refunds and dissatisfied customers. If someone is paying $50 and then finds out that before he can even do anything he needs to pay $3000, then it might make them mad.

The Reverse Funnel System was developed by Ty Coughlin. The system is being replicated for every member that joins their group.

As you probably noticed, the Reverse Funnel System is being advertised all over the place. Some people are getting extremely good results with their campaigns.

If you are making $1000 per sale then you can obviously afford to pay for highly targeted traffic and lots of it.

What is my opinion about RFS? I don’t know if I do have one. I know there are people making a lot of money with it, so it works for them. I wouldn’t call it a scam, but I can see how they could get a lot of refunds by not telling their customers that they need to invest $3k before they can do anything.

If you are a member of the Reverse Funnel System by Ty Coughlin then feel free to post your comments below.

I have done a lot of thinking lately about building content sites and how to roll them out faster and easier. I came to the conclusion that the best way to do it is to use user generated content. This means that your website visitors can contribute content to your site and that way it could grow virally.

If you think about it, that’s how all the big web giants are generating their content. For example, Squidoo allows people create their own business pages.  Blogger lets people create free blogs. Craigslist allows people post free classified ads.

You see, every time people who visits those sites and contribute content create a new page that gets indexed in search engines. This allows those web giants to grow exponentially. Just imagine what kind of income you could earn through Adsense if you owned Craigslist.

User generated content is absolutely the best way to grow your sites on autopilot. It’s all original content and you almost can’t stop it from growing, unless you shut down the server.

Since we established that user generated content is the ultimate solution to develop huge profitable sites, I want to let you in on a little secret. You see, I have been working on a content management solution that you can plug into any of your existing websites and take full advantage of the user generated content.

Imagine what this could do to your Adsense income. Imagine having so much new content on your site that you won’t be able to keep up moderating it. That’s exactly what you need to make the big bucks with content sites and control the search engine traffic.

I am planning on revealing more information about my software product very soon. I am testing the platform right now and should be able to release it within the next 2-3 weeks.

I have stumbled across this new money making opportunity called Income 4 Beginners. I didn’t think nothing of it the first time. I thought it was just someone else’s optin page or something. Well, I opted in to check out the free ebook it offered.

After I downloaded the Income 4 Beginners ebook I discovered that it’s a sales letter by itself. You basically, have the chance to buy a package of products for $40.

The twist is that the $40 goes to the person who invited you to the website. So when you send traffic through your own link you actually get paid 100% commission paid directly to you.

This is actually a cool little deal and conversions are very high.

I did some more research and found another program called Easy Automated Income which works on the same principle. The only difference is it pays out higher commission which is $67 also paid directly to you.

Income 4 Beginners and Easy Automated Income are good low cost programs to promote. I mean who doesn’t want to download a free ebook, right?

So how do you promote it? Well, you can do pay per click, ezines, place classified ads, etc. You could create a review page and feature both programs. Then just launch a massive Adwords campaign.
The products offered in both programs are not too bad for the price. I guess if you were going to purchase them separately you would spend a lot more money.

I think it’s a great idea to pay out 100% commissions with a high converting product. This way your affiliates will be very happy and drive a lot of traffic to your website.

Yes it’s true. Reciprocal links do not play a big role in search engine optimization anymore in my opinion. They still work and can influence your search engine rankings, but not as much as it was 3-4 years ago.

I noticed that Google started stripping websites out of their page rank for having to many outgoing links from their link directories. Latest update made a lot of webmasters mad and frustrated. Lots of authority sites lost their high page ranks, and there is a good reason for that.

You see, when your site has a page rank of 7 or 8, you will get people trying to pay you good money for linking back to their sites. Google doesn’t like it at ALL. You will most likely get penalized and the site that is selling links could get banned as well.

Anyway, going back to reciprocal linking, if you are exchanging links with other sites then don’t include more than 15-20 links per page. Also, if I were you I would only have one “partners” page, where you only list highly relevant link partners. Don’t exchange links with 100 websites or 1000s like some do. It could actually hurt you. A lot of times you won’t be able to monitor them to check if some of them are black hat sites. Keep in mind that linking to a black hat site could also get you a penalty from the Big G.

One-way links are so easy to get nowadays, that there is no need to exchange links anymore. So how do you get them? Well, let see:

- Article marketing (write 10-20 articles per month and submit them to article directories with links back to your websites)

- Press releases (write 1-2 press releases per month – one good press release could result with 100s of one way backlinks to your website)

- Social bookmarking (If you have great content then bookmark it through onlywire or some other social sites – this could go viral and get you a lot of links and traffic)

- Link baits (create some web based tools that visitors can use on your website – this will get other webmasters to link to it)

- Create free blogs on Blogger.com and link back to your sites

As you can see there is so many ways to get one-way links, that you almost don’t want to waste time on reciprocal linking.

Those links will also have much bigger influence on your search engine rankings, so get as many as possible. One-way links from articles, press releases, and other relevant sites shows Google that you have great content that is worth linking to.

Hope this helps

I have been asked this question so many times. It doesn’t matter if you have keywords in your domain name that much. In fact in some niches it helps not to have them at all.

For example, if you are going after a very small niche with only 2000-3000 searches per month then you might want to consider including one of the keywords in it. If you can register a domain name with the exact keyword phrase then get it, but only if it doesn’t exceeds 2-3 words and you don’t include the dashes “-” in it.

If you are going after a very competitive niche then you probably don’t want to include them at all. From my experience it’s better not to have them when trying to rank for high traffic keywords, because it’s a fast way to Google Sandbox (Google will filter you out for a BIG while).

To avoid it just don’t include your keywords in your domain name. Also I suggest you to register your domain name for longer than 2 years. You see, Google is a domain registrar so they have access to all the whois data. If you register a domain name for 1 year only, it looks like you are not that serious about your business.

This doesn’t always apply. Like I said, if you are going after very competitive markets then that’s just the best way to fly under the radar.

Another very interesting thing I wanted to tell you about is how Google treats .org extensions. I have noticed that .org domain names have much better chance to rank on the first page of the search results. This applies to Google only. I haven’t experienced it with other search engines.

I just watched the prelaunch video for the new product called Google Assassin from Chris Neeney. I have to admit I am very excited to see what happens on the launch date which is tomorrow on November 20th.

Chris is a top Clickbank marketer. He is the author of products like Affiliate Project X and Day Job Killer. His new product Google Assassin will quickly spread across the affiliate marketing world.

From watching the video the Google Assassin looks very attractive. If you are an affiliate marketer then I think you should definitely consider buying the product.

So what is the Google Assassin all about:

- Generate clickbank affiliate websites and campaigns within less than 2 minutes (Includes keyword research, Adwords ads,  product selection, page creation)

- Daddy Keyword Tool is a software included within the package, which tells you exactly what keywords are profitable within a specific niche.

- Article Sniper is an article marketing tool that will increase your chances to profit from your articles. It will do all the research for you and find keywords you should go after.

- Tracking Tool to help you see which campaigns are more profitable for you. Includes direct linking to your affiliate links.

- Access to custom database within the Google Assassin system to help you spot profitable clickbank products.

- Adwords Micro-Nicher is a tool that helps advertisers to find pages that you could target using the Site-Targeting method.

- Over 150 pages of detailed tutorial for each part of the Google Assassin package

- Campaign Kidnap Tool allows you to spy on your Adwords competition.

- DJK Blueprint Series for people who never made any money online but want to start generating quick cash without the need to invest any upfront money.

I guess there is a lot more to come.

Seems like the Google Assassin product is going to be very popular. I highly suggest you to take a look at this package and see, if that’s the missing link that kept you from making the kind of money you deserve.

The product is launching on November 20th so get ready, because Chris has some fast action bonuses that you don’t want to miss out on.

So what is more important? Well, that depends on which search engine you are trying to optimize your website for.

From my experience Off-page optimization is more important when it comes to Google. I have ranked one-page websites without too much content for highly competitive keyword phrases. I would get lots of links through press releases, articles, and blog posts. One-way links do wonders. It’s so easy to get backlinks through article marketing or press releases that there is no need to do reciprocal linking at all.

I stopped exchanging links with other webmasters completely. Once I concentrated on getting one-way backlinks my search engine rankings went up very quickly for almost all my niche sites.

Lately this is the strategy I have been using to get my niche sites ranked for any keywords I want:

- Find a profitable niche

- I create 5-10 page website for that niche

- Hire a freelancer to write me 10-20 articles

- I submit 10 articles through Isnare.com and 10 through SubmitYourArticle.com

- I write 1-2 press releases and submit it through Webwire.com

- After the site is indexed and already getting some traffic I write a PRWebDirect press release and use the $249 option for distribution.

So that’s it! I just gave you my million dollar strategy to steal search engine rankings for any niche keyword I want (Almost any )

It’s important that you have unique content on your website and unique original articles when distributing them through the services mentioned above.

So there you have it

I wouldn’t worry too much about On-page optimization. Just make sure you do have some of the keyword phrases you want to rank for. Don’t try any tricks or over do it. Make sure your content makes sense.

I have researched some content generators today and found some very powerful tools. We all know it’s considered Black Hat Seo, but is it still worth it?

If you think about volume then those content generators will produce a lot of content for you. The down side of this is that those websites usually don’t stay indexed in search engines for a long time. You almost have to keep creating them to keep your income going.

The advantage of this type of marketing is that you can obtain very quick results. If you use one of those tools you could generate a 10,000 page website with a click of a button. Once you get some backlinks and get the site indexed, you can experience huge amounts of traffic from Google, Yahoo, and MSN.

Some of those tools even have “Cloaking” feature, which allows you to redirect your pages to affiliate landing pages. Of course if Google notices it, you will get banned.

So the question is: Is it worth it to build huge Black Hat websites for fast results and keep up with making new ones, or create White Hat sites with unique original content for long term benefits?

A lot of search marketers will argue about it. I prefer to build White Hat niche sites, because I don’t like my work to go to waste. Although, it’s not a bad idea to experiment a little on the side to create some additional streams of income.

If you do start using some of those tools make sure not to install it on your own White Hat sites. Most likely you will get banned from Google and your site will get deindexed forever.

Also, use it on domain names that you can afford to lose, because their lifetime is usually no longer than 2-3 months.
