Why Writing Reviews Is Not Recommended For Affiliate Marketers

I own and operate mygatenow.com where i write reviews on internet marketing products i have made significant amount of money while just writing reviews only, you can try this strategy but what i have learned after running a review blog for 2 years is that when you run this kind of blog at some point of time you will feel hard to push your profits.

And here is why...

Too Much Competition:  To get things work you have to create an indepth review of some product of your choice and after writing your review you have to place your affiliate buttons at the end which will bring sales to your affiliate websites.

But problem with this strategy is that you have to rank it up for respective keywords like if you are selling a chair you have to rank it up for chair review.

Yeah! reviews convert well, but you are not the one affiliate out their there are many others like you that are doing the same sort of things which you are doing and when you succeed in ranking your review and go on to something else,

Then the your previous reviews started loosing their rankings due to other affiliates outranking your spot and you have to work back again to get your first spot again and when you focus back on that article other articles starts to lose rank, so when you keep adding your review it becomes much hard to keep ranking for all of them.

so at the end you just end up maintaining your spot.

No Audience Building: While writing review you are not building a business a successful business must grow with time but what happening over here is that you are just sticking to your place there is no growth, no stable income.

So what's the right way of doing affiliate marketing?
 Overall first you need to decided what's you going to sell and make sure it's a quality product because that will affect your future sales.

After that you have 

Leverage Email marketing:  Email marketing accounts major affiliate sales not just for me for anyone on the internet you will heard this phase numerous times "Money is in the List" it's true in every aspect when you build a list you are not just selling but you are building a list of buyer which will eventually grow with time the bigger and better you have the more affiliate sales you can make.

Killer Methods To Promote Your Amazon Affiliate Products

No, matter how much affiliate programs you might try amazon has the best conversion of them all even if with their short commission percentage but good conversions make up the mark.

No, wonder amazon affiliate program is the best one out their but selling their stuffs is really hard things you can try out today i am going to teach you how you should promote your amazon products and things that actually works.

Things That Doesn't Worked

---

Banners And Widgets : Before i went on promoting amazon i was like a sheep in a big city i don't know where to start on and what sort of things should i target, basically i started off with creating a blog writing of articles on specific topic at that time i was writing about computers tips and tricks,

When i put amazon banners after one month of running nothing much conversion happened at my affiliate account that was bit sad though as i replaced other ads in place of amazon to get them maximum exposure.

What i learned was people weren't actually in the mode of buying when they come to my website they were looking for tricks and not computer or even their accessories.

So it was like selling umbrella in a sunny day to get that conversion you want those visitors who are looking for products that you are selling.

PPC ADS( Risky Move) : From wondering like an idiot someone on an internet marketing forum suggest me trying ppc ads while doing some internet marketing research i found that i won't able to promote affiliate products directly google doesn't allow it.

But i didn't lose hope instead of promoting it directly i used a landing page so instead of visitors going directly to the product page they going to land into my website where i put some specification about that product at the end of it i put my affiliate links.

I do got some sales doing it but at the end i losses more then i actually earned ppc ads campaign took too much profit out of my pocked l left ppc after burning 200$ which i have arranged by selling my old gaming consoles.

But, i don't think this strategy doesn't work but you have to work on right keywords and keep experimenting with your ad variation and bids until you get that right set of keywords and ad titles that surpass the amount you are investing but that requires you to burned some dollars at the beginning.


PPC ads are oldest method of affiliate marketing and you will find good number advance affiliate marketers earning good figures using this method but currently adword doesn’t allow affiliates but this doesn’t end of the road you can try the same business model on the second most visited search engine bing.com but make sure you do your homework some online courses like info cash 2 by ppc expert chris carpenter can save you from doing lot of expensive mistakes.
                                                       

Things That Actually Work

---

Writing Reviews: Most amount of money which i have made as a beginner is by writing reviews of products if you are good at writing you can make upto 3% conversion (out of hundred visitor you send to vendor's page it's a great chance that 3 will end up buying ) while my first conversion wasn't from amazon but i found this work even on amazon as well infact i am getting much larger conversion with amazon because people trust this brand blindly.

So they don't think about basic stuffs like is it safe to use credit card, or do i get returns which makes my conversion rate higher on amazon.

Why reviews convert so well?

Reviews are something which people search while they are ready to buy something but are looking for some final testimonial so these traffic have their credit card ready to make their purchase and if you help them with their buying decision with your in depth review they end up buying with your affiliate link.

You can target some buying keywords such as

"xbox 360 review"
"xbox 360 customer review"
"xbox 360 testimonials"

Selling A Chitika Ads Based Website On Flippa

This week on warrior forum an interesting thread going on a member "Delboy Trotter" wants to sell his website on flippa but the problem for some reason he was monetizing his website currently with adsense so he was not sure weather he would get some buyers for his website as most website sold over flippa were adsense based.

You can check out the thread here : warriorforum.com/main-internet-marketing-discussion-forum/1019779-does-website-chitika-sells-flippa.html

There Are Many Factors Which Makes A Website Sell

Maybe your website doesn't uses adsense but still if it's generate significant amount of traffic then surely you will get buyers but you need to attach all the screenshots of google analytic which gives an idea to the buyer about what kind of traffic you are getting.

The member also mentioned that the website was generating around 25$ in revenue from chitika ads which is a good signal that this website has good potential as if it's used by using adsense the profit might get as high as 100$ per month.

Your domain authority (MOZ DA), Good pagerank and audience location also improves the chance of getting a sell because you have added more metrics to your listing.

IF you are selling a website with no adsense account currently do mention why you are not using adsense and give them the real reason of it like you don't have an approved adsense account or you have banned with adsense.

Lastly Just be honest...

Exploit Other Sales Channels

Why stick with just one marketplace you can sell your website using various other platform such as  Sedo and, Godaddy auction even though sedo and godaddy are more vocused on domain name selling but they also provide good analytics tool for a small fee.

In my opinion Sedo would be the best network to sell your website other than flippa.

Creating Single Page Micro Website Targeting Single Keyword

I am regular visitor of warrior forums as there are lots of hot internet marketing gossips takes place today when i was browsing threads i found an interesting question you can check that thread here warriorforum.com/search-engine-optimization/1018887-single-page-micro-niche-site-targeting-single-keyword.html

Member named rook and king idea was to create a single page website targeting a single keyword and make money with it.

For anyone the idea might look to be effective but there are lots of flaws in this strategy which i am going to reveal right now.

Google Doesn't Hate Single Page Website But Doesn't Like It Either

---

If you are creating a single page website with single content you might providing value with that single content but think of a user visiting your website and he or she has no where to go after dropping to your website this will generally leads to high bounce rate from your website which doesn't look good in the eyes of google.

Google Looks Entire Website: Maybe your content is good maybe your website design is awesome but your website doesn't have big content inventory which in long run hurt you back google looks entire website which makes content rich website more appealing and authoritive.

Trust Me It's Going To Be Hard To Rank...

---

Usually micro niche website business is done using a keyword rich domain name such as if you are planning to sell a dog training course you start by registering a domain names like dogtrainingcourse.com and ranking it up on terms like "Dog Training Course" at the beginning this idea use to work and believe me i have made good figures of money using these techniques,

What made this strategies worst was that google EMD update that killed those website that have keyword rich and exact match domains in there urls, i use to believe that this algorithm use to derank those with exact match keywords in their domain names.

But after doing bit of researching i found that this update doesn't work that way it just takes away the advantage you usually get having exact keywords in your website url,

So, generally it made creating such website and ranking even more time consuming which doesn't go well with the money you are going to earn at the end.

My personal failure was dropping of my job network website like this one jobs-in-jamshedpur.blogspot.com after getting success with this formula i scaled up my niche business creating more blogs like jobs-in-patna.blogspot.com and while i was working with jobs-in-dhaband.blogpost.com emd update was launched and with next day all my blogs dropped like house of cards. It was my one year of hard work that went down in a day.

Lesson  I've Learned With This Experienced

---

Never depend on niche website , A niche website with just single source of traffic such as search engines are meant to be fall as you are relying on someone else algorithm, and even if you are an experience search engines optimization expert maintaining a top spot is something you don't have your control over it.

Things Can Become Complicated, When you start your first niche website things looks like fun but when you get bigger like 2-3 or 4-5 niche website maintaining each one of them becomes a mess when your rank one another website drops couples off spot and when you start doing link building for that one the third one start lossing it ranks,

It's like fighting with both hands and some sort of time you feel like shutting everything up but hope for making some money online keeps you back

You Are Not Building A Business, What i have found running a niche website is that you are not building a business as a real business must show stable profit and it should keeps on increasing with each passing month

What Worked For Me

---

After getting burned by niche website business the things i have found effective was creating something authoritative which proved to be much solid in terms of earnings as your website is not build on just single keyword but you are focusing on a particular market so even if your rankings fall you have secondary keywords that make up your overall traffic.

If you are thinking about building your real and stable online business i recommend you should try My No1 Recommended course that will help you build solid income online.

Reasons Why You Should Use Bing Ads

There are good number of webmaster who are currently have never considered bing ads infact they never looked beyond google adwords people like them feel that adword is the only network they should focus on, well i don't have problem with what they choose to bring traffic to there service, but today i am going to revel why you should focus on bing ads.

 

Bing Has Some Good Numbers...

---

Yeah! i know google has a big search market share they boast big searches per year and it outnumbers of those registered by other search engines  but that doesn't means there are no searches takes place on bing, accroding to the reports from search engine land bing after each passing year constantly registering all time high mark so with each passing year bing is getting stronger and stronger,

It has already left yahoo a way behind to become the second most visited search engines in the world. With billions of searches every year bing can sends some serious traffic it may be less then what google sends but it still has good numbers which can't be ignored.

Targeted Traffic

---

Being a search engine it's no doubt that it brings targeted traffic to your website and since there you will find much less advertisers and compared to google you will enjoy low cpc so you will have to pay less for your clicks and still get targeted leads to your website.

While doing cpc ads for my image hosting site lapload.com i usually paying 0.50$ for a click on google but with bing ads i was paying 0.01$ for a click that's dirt cheap.

Import Campaign Directly From Google Adword

---

To save time if you have planned to go with bing ads you don't have create a new campaign specially for bing if you have an adword account and you have set a campaign in their you can import all your campaign data such as ad titles cpc bid to your bing ads dashboard.

Taking Advantage Of Facebook Graph Search

---

Facebook graph search is a new feature that one must take advantage of it with the current trend this lets you search web without leaving facebook good part is that it uses bing search engine results including bing advertising so in upcoming years bing searches can grow bigger as there are much lesser competition as compared with google adword so it's a right time to start your bing campaign so if you need some advance on creating perfect and high converting ppc campaign you can download info cash 2 an ebook course by bing ppc expert and internet marketer chris carpenter.

Conclusion

---

Bing ads might look low on numbers but it's really affordable method of getting good traffic as compared with it's competitor google adword i really want to recommend bing ads for affiliate marketers if you have low budget advertising budget really matter and bing can be great marketing partner for such case.

My Strategy To Monetize Image Search Traffic

Google image traffic is really hard to monetize first visitors from these traffic sources are mostly interested in images so they hardly click on your little ads so you get horrible ctr but the numbers from image traffic are really big one so it makes sense to think about monetizing these sources.

My Strategy to monetize these traffic sources.

Attempt 1 (PPC Ads Failed)

One of my blogs was getting good number of hits from image searches first i thought of using ppc ads but i didn't got any success with it people come and go but they don't click on ads as if they were blind folded they visit my blog and download images or hit back button only left me think what's happening.

Changed Some Settings ( Little But No Success Either)
Image ads worked bit better then ppc but i put large banner just next to the image along with one banner on the top and one at the bottom overall i created a window of ads around the image but this trick performed better then the other one but it was a slight success got some little ctr hike but nothing what i can boast off.

Affiliate Program ( A Big No)

I don't know why i gave affiliate program a shot i  know from beginning that it won't convert but that's what happened i didn't get any sales.

Things That Worked

Cpm Ads (Worked Great :))

Cpm ads worked liked charm very effective as it doesn't based on clicks but on pageviews so it performed really well with my wallpaper blog but i do have to try a lots of cpm ad network as most of them rejected my application due to lack of content but what to say i had a wallpaper site so it doesn't have much content.

Finally got approved with clicksor, currently it's the best cpm ads network right now and it's really easy to get approved by them even if you have much less traffic.

Best Strategy To Make Money With Adf.ly

If you are looking for ways to make money online you might heard of of adf.ly, adf.ly works same as various other url shortners but intead of sending the visitors to the desitnation it first send to a dynamic page with a 5 second timer which user can opt to skip or visit the sponsor ads this way you get paid for every clicks on your links.

On this article i am going to share a best way to utilize adf.ly power first thing most people attempt is to use these links on facebook and twitter yeah! the idea really works but the results are very disappointing and you have to keep posting these links which hurt ctr of your post so generally after doing these for few times you will realize that you time isn't worth the effort you have made.

The main money maker is there website entry script if you have a website then you can add this code and soon when ever someone going to visit your website you will earn some amount good isn't it.

The Strategy
So first you need to have a website if you don't have you can use free blogspot blogs just like this one
Now, after creating a blog choose your blog based on high search topic in my case i choose hollywood actress wallpapers so keep adding those in your blog.

Why? a celeb blog because we going to target google image search traffic since adf.ly going to pay based on views so you will just have to bring visitors to your website and since google refreshes their celeb pic searches more often as far as i have experienced you can aspect to get your images indexed within 30 days.

Now what? nothing just wait for the google to index those images and soon you will get good amount of traffic to your blog via image search and google images searches are blogspot friendly when you search images then most of the time you going to hit a blogger blog.

Here Is How You Can Get Links From Wikipedia

Wikipedia is a largest wiki site around with a huge links juices but wait this was few years back as people started using wikipedia for seo purpose they turned all their outgoing links to nofollow if you don't know the difference between nofollow and dofollow let me tell you that nofollow is tag when used it's stops the link juice to flow to the linked page lets get not go details back to getting links from wikipedia.

Be A Trust Worthy Editor

---

Wikipedia is free to join anyone from any place can take part and share their knowledge on wikipedia if you go out and simply link your website from any page within few moments your link will be thrown out of that page bigger corporation do get benefit of their brand like facebook they have a special wikipedia page based on them but we can't do the same.

So, first you should join and then choose a page that you think you have an expertise on and also make sure it's related to your business,

After you have planned what topic you going to contribute then start by editing few pages even if wikipedia has tons of content but they are not 100% perfect there are still some topics which need some further correction and if you search smartly you will find number of pages with insufficient information start filling those with your knowledge.

You need to find those pages and add couple of more indepts research on that it's better to stick with topic you love because you will be more comfortable in editing the page you have already have knowledge

Linking To Your Website

---

After 1-2 months of contribution you will build a reputation based on your prior edits now find a page that is relevant to your website and place a linkback to your website but it doesn't mean you can link to your website from any pages you like, be careful with the relevancy and not just relevancy make sure your website  adds more value to that wikipedia page.

 Make use of "citation"  

Any page of wikipedia is edited based on certain citation from a trusted sources and it acts as a reference and prof of the accuracy of that content you can also leverage the citation part of the wiki page to get links to your own website infact getting links from citation would be much easier as compared to the middle of a page.

First make sure you have some data on your website it can be some infographic, or a picture or some news item, after that add some content based on your data on a wikipedia page and place your website link as a citation of your edits.

Enjoy Your Wiki Link

Selling Amazon Products By Building An Audience

If you are an amazon affiliate then best way to promote an amazon product is by building an audience, in affiliate marketing traffic doesn't matters it doesn't matter whether your website gets 1 visitor or even 100 visitors a day you won't get sales until you bring right audience to your website.

Identifying Your Right Prospects

---

Not every traffic gets converts let assume that there are 1000 people in your area who owns a car in those people 30 peoples are those who had their car broke down recently. So my question is if you run a car repair shop which audience you should introduce your service to which has larger chances of getting sales? Obviously those 30 people are your best prospects in which you should focus your marketing effort on so optimizing your hard work in marketing before the right audience is more important then targeting a broader audience.

Getting Right Audience To Your Website

---

After you have identified what audience you should target now it's time to get those audience to your website the best way you can achieve this goal by adding a blog to your website and create content around those audience like if i want to sell some golf equipments i am going to write contents such as "How to play golf"
"Top 10 golfing equipments" such content will drive audience that play golf. Also create a social media pages around you niche this will add more streams of targeted audience toward your website.

 Caching Those Search Engine Fishes

---

Visitors you get from the search engines are always in a hurry they are seeking information as fast as they could if you don't have right tools and hooks they will visit your website read their information and will move on.

You have very little time to impress them, First thing you should add in your blog is aweber ,It's an email marketing software thorough which you can build an email list after creating an account you need to create your bait, a bait can be anything a guide some free reports, case studies or an ebook  which you can offer for free and in return they will have to add their email to download that ebook.

So The Plan Goes This Way.....

---

So the plan works like this people will visit your blog via search engine while finding some "blah blah blah" information they will read your blog post and in the middle or in the end of an article you offer them a free course ebook or anything relevant to your audience to grab their email address.

You might want to start selling amazon products to them at this point but i don't recommend selling anything  right away it's like "proposing a girl" you won't say I LOVE YOU to a girl that you have meet just few days back.

People have given their emails to know more about you so at the beginning keep sending them free stuffs it can be content, free reports, videos keep doing that for 1-2 weeks soon they will start getting more engazed with your website the more their stick to your website the more better chances of selling rises.

After 1-2 weeks pass by and they are impressed with all you content and free reports it's time to make some money just recommend few products and see the magic.

But don't just overdo it's do like this way "Give Something Free, Free and again Free then Sell and more Free Free and Free then Sell"

You will be surprise with the conversion rate this technique yields if you have a subscriber base of 100 people can generate an average of 61% conversion rate so with every 10 people 6 people will buy a product that you have recommended them the conversion you might get may vary according to the strength of your recommendation.

Good Luck!!

Cheaper Yet Powerful Alternative of Bounce Exchange

You liked the idea of exit intent technology and yes it's really a best way to boost your subscribers rate and bounce exchange is one of the premium players in this field.

But one thing that makes bounce exchange not appealing for small business is the price imagine a small blog who is earning something around 300-400$ each month can it afford to pay 3,995$? and this price is not just for one time you have to pay it each month and moreover their platinum is even more which comes at 5,995$

But i am confident that they are able to sell their service even at such high price point due to their strong brand and loyal customer base.

I would also like to point out that you can easily get a custom built exit intent technology at such price point by any talented coder.

Setting Up Your Affiliate Blog

---

It's always advisable to use a premium domain name with hosting for your serious businesses because this reflects your reputation and people know that you are serious about what you do but you are free to choose free blogging platforms like blogger.com.

If you are new to domain name kind of words let me tell you that it's just a name of your website which we called as domain names like google.com, yahoo.com like that...so not to be confused with that clear shall we move forward?

To get a domain for your blog you need to find a registrar where you can register your blog name you can choose any domain name but remember you can't change it in future so choose your brand name wisely short and catchy names are the best one.

After choosing a name you have to get a hosting in a simple words it's like a house for your domain name you can get a web hosting and for limited time a free domain name with companies like justhost.com.

From a long time justhost have been a preferred host for many amazon affiliate website by many affiliates.

After getting domain name along with hosting now you need to install wordpress either manually or with automated installer justhost has this installer through which you can install wordpres in minutes no coding neither any technical knowledge required.

And Now you are ready to start posting content and promote amazon products.

Setting Your Amazon Affiliate Store

---

Not only with a blog amazon products can also be promoted with a complete online store, like this example store maths.com people will shop under you brand but they will checkout at amazon you need to add your amazon id so that amazon can track your visitors award you sell.

To create an amazon affiliate store is simple you just have to try these software and install them on your website.

Associate-O-Matic : Associate-o-matic was the first ever affiliate store builder for amazon started back in 2004 it's has ability to add 1000 of amazon products within minutes you just have specify the keywords and it imports all the product.

But i recommend all the new users don't get over excited with that mass import tool feature it's better to add products manually with your own hand written original description otherwise you will end up with duplicate content issues.

Although installing associate-o-matic doesn't require much techie skill as it runs without a database but still if you have any trouble installing then i am offering free installation support.

Can Having Nofollow Links Hurt Your Site Ranking

A webmaster put an interesting question about nofollow links he asked "whether having too many nofollow links hurt his website ranking?"

Matt cutts the head of google's web spam team said that having nofollow links usually doesn't hurt search ranking in normal cases hot but in some cases where there is an identified spammer that is abusing the whole system and large group of people are submitting complained against it then yest in that case google has rights to take action against such activity, if they found they can revoke manual action against that website since you have the control over your website then your rankings can be hurt too.

Steps To Avoid Manual Penalty

---

Even if it happens for some rare case but it's better to be prepared for everything as it's your business and you should protect it from any potential threat to your brand.

If you run a UGC site where user can submit content or you accept any third party content then you are more vurnuable to these manual actions so it's better to keep strict moderation on what being posted on your website as i run a webmaster forum i have put couple of moderators to avoid spam activity also if you run blog take some time to visit website of your commentators as you might link to some website which can hurt your reputation.
