The problem with internet marketing is that there are too many things to market, and you can find yourself chasing every new shiny car on the block.  This can lead to owning hundreds of sites that are anemic at best and very thin in the eyes of the search engines.  This may do ok for a while, but in the end it is the guys and girls with the big authority websites that are racking in the big bucks. Think about it, how susceptible are thin affiliate sites from being knocked down by the search en...

This question gets asked quite a bit, but it is not asked by internet marketing gurus or people who are making a living with internet marketing.  It gets asked by newbies and people completely new to the world of making money online.  The reason the big wigs do not have to ask is that they already know that the Warrior Forum is the best place to go to get questions answered, to get information on an IM product, or simply to get distracted from the work you really should be doing. There are hun...

So what do these three all have in common?   Well if you are me, these are three things that have caused obstacles in my affiliate marketing career as of late. Affiliate marketing is hard enough.  It takes patience, hard work, and a little bit of crazy to be successful.  But then throw in some roadblocks like a new tax law in NC and it can be a real curve ball in your business.  But I am writing this to be optimistic.  To show all of the others who are in the same boat as I am in, to conti...

I have been trying out Article Blueprint for a few weeks now and I have also used UAW for a while and this is what I have come up with.  The main point about Article Blueprint is that is is much much cheaper than UAW and it does essentially the same thing.  Now the database is not as large yet, but it is growing all the time.   I can’t go into all the details because of that awkward contract we sign our lives away with when using UAW, but Article blueprint works in almost the EXACT sam...

Have you ever gotten totally distracted from what you really should be doing with your affiliate marketing endeavors?  Anyone who has been in affiliate and internet marketing for any length of time knows how easy it is to get distracted. There are always new affiliate networks coming out, new social media marketing tactics, and new “tricks” that someone has uncovered that can easily distract you from your bread and butter.  And what is your bread and butter?  It’s doing what...

Since getting good quality one way backlinks is essential to growing your business and getting noticed in the search engines, I thought I would give Blog Blueprint a try.  For those who don’t know, Blog Blueprint is a backlinking tool created by Steven Clayton that allows you to post your links in 100 word blog posts which get sent out to high PR blogs across a vast network of different class IP addresses.  Whew, that was a bit of a mouthful! I decided to do a case study and try out the ...

CPA marketing is a buzz right now and there is good reason for it.  The conversion rates for CPA offers are much higher than with any affiliate marketing or cost per sale out there.  With CPA (cost per action), rather than getting paid for making a sale, you get paid merely for generating a lead for a company.   Sometimes this lead simply needs to fill in an email address and zip code, but most of the big paying offers are for free trials where the lead has to fill in billing information as ...

If you have a website you want more traffic!  That’s just common sense for anyone, especially if you have a website you are trying to make money on.  The difference between being ranked # 14 in Google and # 3 can completely change your business and lifestyle. I have a site that is in position #1 for my main keyword in Google right now and ever since it has been #1 has been making me a solid $100 a day.  (Now let’s just hope it stays there.=)  Do you know how much I was making on ...

I just got done reading through another thread on the warrior forum about duplicate content.   Whether you think it’s a myth or not there is a lot to consider about dup content on yoru website.  You might be asking, “Should I submit my articles to an article directory like Ezine Articles or to my website first?” Well first of all you need to see that your content has value, and as tempting as it is to put all of your articles on Ezine Articles and get an immediate traffic bo...

Article marketing is a great way to generate more traffic to your website or blog.  And ezine articles is one of the best places to put them.  But have you ever written an article that got a ton of views and hardly any clicks to your links?  This can be very frustrating to a beginner internet marketer but it can also happen to veterans who are in a hurry as well. You might pour 2 hours of time into the content of your article to make it absolutely perfect and to make sure that no moderator in...
