========================================================
The best thing that happened to me in
the past month??
Two things…
I’ve made it to the top 5 in google for
my two main keywords which get over 10000 searches on google alone in a site
that I created only a few months ago so I’m ecstatic about that!
I’d used the
Wordtracker trial on and off over the years and then I had a trial of Derek
Gehl’s search engine lab course (which I highly recommend) and I watched videos
explaining more of the power of
Wordtracker. In fact, as a result of watching this Video I bought a domain
on one of the keywords that they’d suggested.
Now with
Wordtracker in particular, the higher the KEI the better the keyword for
your website and optimization.
I spent about a week or so on
Wordtracker and was getting average key - probably 100 the highest, 10 is
supposed to be okay, anything over 400 is excellent!
Well, after thinking that there were no
such things as insanely high KEI keywords I hit pay dirt, and I mean big time.
this keyword phrase has NO competition,
has a KEI of 3025 (yes, you read that right) and gets 46 searches A DAY on
Google. Truth be told, there are four keywords with a KEI more than 1000 with
virtually NO competition!
What did I do?
I immediately did a search for an
affiliate program, joined it, installed the blog and will get the new blog up
and running. I already have an article ready to go on the topic!

The worst thing that happened to me in
the past month?
Nothing!
=======================================================
What I learnt in the last month…
I started playing around with one of my
most profitable sites - why, I don’t know, probably wanted to increase the
return from it. It had a hideously ugly blog theme, however, it sold very well
on a daily basis.
Then I thought of changing it to
another theme which listed all my pages down in the side bar.
The result??
A MASSIVE drop in earnings over a 3
week period. One week I even made nil when I average at least $500 a week.
I kept going round in my head thinking
what had happened. Basically I decided that the PAGES in the sidebar were
DISTRACTING the visitor from making a buying a decision.
Most visitors were reading the extra
pages but they weren’t buying.
So I made the decision to revert back
to my last wordpress theme and the sales then came pouring straight in.
Two morals there - if it ain’t broken
don’t fix it!
Second, I think if you are only
promoting ONE product on a theme or site too many other pages can be distracting
to your visitors. This is probably not the case with a MOTHER SITE that promotes
multiple products on it, however, invariably too much information CAN be a
disadvantage.
TIP OF THE
MONTH: I only found this out very recently and am
quite surprised that it’s not more widely publicised but the truth of the matter
is that you CAN actually install wordpress blogs on a subdomain.
What this means is that you DON’T have
to actually buy a new domain every time you want to create a wordpress blog.
Simply purchase one domain and create a sub domain for each blog. This is a
great way to test a market first without expending a lot of money and something
that I have also started implementing with great success.
If you are going to purchase a domain
specifically for this purpose make it sound like an informative and generic
review site domain.

HIGHLY
RECOMMENDED WEBSITES:
If you spend a lot of time reading
magazines looking for potential hot market niches, a brand new website has made
the task much easier for you.
It creates 100 word abstracts of articles from more
than 50 magazines.
Instead of having to read bundles of magazines you
can now
find a market niche
much faster by just visiting the website below.
Hope this helps some of you.

I suggest you bookmark it and refer to it regularly
to make finding a market niche a lot less time consuming and painstaking.

HOW TO STEAL YOUR COMPETITOR’S TRAFFIC THROUGH ARTICLE
MARKETING
This is something that I stumbled upon
really quite by accident while doing keyword research and then decided to take
full advantage of it.
Say for example that you are promoting,
for argument sake, a video course about potty training your puppy and in your
keyword research you discover that a competitor’s product gets a lot of monthly
searches and you want to cash in on that traffic too.
Easy. Simply write some articles with
the topic your actual competitor’s product or website and do a review about it.
Make sure THEIR product name or website is in the title and your main keywords
through and THEN in your author bio box redirect them, and give them a reason to
click on your url and learn more about the product that YOU are promoting rather
than the competitor’s product that you have been discussing in the article!
I have actually written articles about a
competitor’s website that gets tens of thousands of searches on a monthly basis
and I am syphoning that traffic to my own site.
For example:
Learn how to potty train your puppy in
7 days, guaranteed! Let’s face it…a puppy that’s not toilet trained is a
nightmare. It’s unsanitary, horrible to look at, smelly, a health hazard and
harmful to timber floors and carpets. I can show you how to potty train your
puppy in just 7 days and I guarantee it. To get started with your puppy
training just go straight to….
It’s really as simple as that to get
traffic from your competitors through article marketing and benefiting from
their good reputation.
So get started.
ANALYSING THE CREDIBILITY OF ANY ONLINE BUSINESS OR ANY
POSSIBLE AFFILIATE PROGRAM OWNER…
I thought this may help some of you
look into the credibility of any online business that you are thinking of
dealing with, or purchasing a product from.
If you go to the Better Business Bureau
at
http://www.bbb.org you can insert a name, url etc into a search box and it
will come up with relevant websites.
You can then do a search to find if they
are a bureau member, if there have ever been any government actions against the
company, if there is a question about the truth of their advertisement, and also
a complaint history for that company.
Not only can this help with any buying
decisions that you make but also with researching affiliate companies.
This may help some of you with your
buying decisions online.

Road Test
Of A Lazy Affiliate Marketer
=========================================================
You know how I don’t like working too
hard for my money. I recently downloaded a fascinating ebook about lazy
affiliate marketing. The author gives an extremely informative account of his
lazy affiliate marketing techniques PLUS some real innovative methods that
netted him nearly $10,000 in one day – and that method involved NO article
writing, pay per click or even having his own website.
I’ve already started putting these
methods into place and I’m really impressed with the results.
At under $30.00 it’s a real steal and
comes with a money back guarantee.
I highly recommend it if you are
looking for easy methods to make money as an affiliate marketer.
