Building Backlinks via Press Releases
I set myself a goal this month to build more backlinks to my affiliate site. I plan on using three very basic and accessible methods to achieve this. First, I’ll be looking for reciprocal link exchanges with other sites directly in my niche. Second, I’ll be making comments on blogs (even though they’re nofollow) directly [...]

Don’t Become An Affiliate Zombie!
I’ve been tinkering with this idea for a few days now or, rather, it’s been tinkering with me, nagging away at the back of my mind as I drum out more products to my affiliate site in a zombie-like fashion. It occurs to me that I’ve never actually taken a step back and actually looked [...]

February’s Affiliate Earnings
As you know, I gave myself a target in January to double January’s earnings from affiliate marketing. To summarise, I started one new site in January and turned on a PPC campaign for a previously successful campaign. I made a gross proit in January from affiliate marketing of £150 and you can see the full [...]

How Many Clicks Does It Take To Convert?
I’ve lost track of how many times I’ve asked this question of both myself and others. I’ve seen it posted lots of times on affiliate forums and there seems to be a healthy consensus that will give you an answer of ‘100 clicks’. That would seem about right..1% conversion rate. It also seems doable when [...]

1 Month Old Site Lost It’s High Rankings
I’m sure many of you reading this have started a new site in the last few months. Now maybe your situation is different to mine but I’ve heard tales of this particular affliction hitting all fairly new sites after a short period.

SEO for WordPress Sites
I have chosen to make my affiliate sites using WordPress – it’s free and infinitely scalable – which is just awesome. I generally create them with custom themes that I have developed to suit each niche I’m working in. Whilst doing this, I have come across three distinct wordpress-related problems regarding SEO but thankfully, they’re [...]

FAILED: Money Making Challenge 14/11/08
In November of 2008, I wrote a post on this blog about how I wanted to make $690 in 11 days. I threw together a few ideas and actually did release a WordPress Theme but only actually managed to raise $190. A whopping $500 short of my intended target. It’s been almost a year since [...]

What All The ‘Gurus’ Forgot And Why Wannabe Wannabe-Wannabe-Wannabes Will Always Be Wannabes
There’s been a lot of flapping lately. If you can imagine the world of google in a hierarchical form, with google at the very top, then 4 or 5 Super Gurus on the tier below, then 10 times as many guru wannabes on the tier below and then another tier of guru wannabe wanabees below [...]

What Does Google SearchWiki Mean For Your Site?
I’ve just done a search for one of my many sites and spotted a new googleism in the SERPS. The ability to ‘promote’ or ‘delete’ a result from the results pages! Admittedly, it is customised for my preferences, using my google ID as the epicentre, but is an interesting move towards user-generated content, pulling the [...]

Can I Make £460 in 11 Days?
OK, so it’s the credit crunch here in the UK. I have an exploding credit card bill and I need to pay £460 by the 28th November 2008. The strength of the £ to the $ at the moment is weak, which is good news if I’m working in $s, and it means I need [...]

Want Business Success? Just play golf!
I haven't been playing long and spend more time in the rough, dropping balls and taking free hits than actually playing well but...one thing's for sure, if I had to recommend a great place to network with other likeminded business people, it would be on the golf course.
