Make Your Affiliate Program Site User Friendly - part Four

Make sure you have useful content on your sites. While keyword density is important in search engine placement, having useless information or annoying repetition of keywords will not increase your customer's confidence in your site. It may even affect your sites traffic and can get your site removed from search engines.So make sure that keywords are used strategically.

When thinking of keywords, think like your target customers. What do you think are they going to search so they can get to your site? Also, use specific keywords or key phrases. Submitting a single word or a very general phrase to a search engine will not get you to the top of the search results compared to submitting specific keywords that describe your product and services perfectly.

Check for medication clashes online

In our ageing population - well I am, anyway! Most people are now taking some prescribed medications and would have trouble remebering the full names and doses of each drug prescribed. A new online service can help with this, by checking for up to 50 potential drug interactions at once. Your physician or pharmacist can just type in the names of the different brands or generics - inclusing Levaquin - and find out instantly whether any of them will interact with adverse affects. Drug reactions are a real and growing problem, so any resource that will help avoid these life threatening dangers is very welcome.

Visitors to your Affiliate Program Part Two

The success of your website is affected by its search engine placement, external linking and the other ads placed on it. External linking will determine if there are other sites that link to this site. This will mean that people can get to the site where your ad is placed, even if they are browsing a different site. Check if many of your competitors have ads on this site. Placing ads on some sites cost some money. However, there are also sites that can place a link to your site, product or service in exchange of having their link being displayed on your site.This is also true about the newsletters sent by site owners to its mailing list members regularly. Also, having helpful links placed on your site and having sites link to your pages help in boosting search engine ranking. This is similar to making a statement that your site's content is important that other sites have links to your web pages. Previous Post

Get Traffic to Your Affiliate Program Website

First, design your website in such a way that will attract internet users. A user-friendly site is always recommended so that the customers will know which one to click. Take into consideration the look and feel of the advertisement. If it doesn’t look professional, most likely, users will just ignore it. Place the ad in a strategic location – where users can see it clearly. Visibility of the ad is always important.

Another way is to post a link to your website in forums, web communities, ezine articles or bulletin boards. However, this method requires a lot of effort – that defeats your purpose of getting easy money in the first place! The key is to do something once and forget about it. It’s like putting your business on autopilot. To maintain your pay-per-click business, be sure to track down site activity, so you are updated on how much money you are making.

Get Started with Affiliate Programs

T get started in affiliate programs, you need to have a website or blog. Depending on your target audience, choose the best affiliate merchant that is most related to your topic. For example, your website is about dogs then you can search for affiliate programs that sell dog food, dog beds, toys for dogs, pet medications - even clothes for dogs if you insist.

However, if you don’t have a website, that’s not a problem. You can put up a content site about absolutely anything under the sun like ‘Taking Care of Dogs’ or ‘Adopting a Rescue Dog.’ But wait, its not over yet. We are faced by a dilemma – on how to increase traffic! You first need to get internet surfers to see your website, then the ad.

Write an ebook for Profits

Here is a very good article on eBooks, thought you would like it.

The Top Seven Mistakes eBook Authors Make
© Jim Edwards and David Garfinkel

eBooks are the hottest thing going on the Web right now!

Authors with the entrepreneurial instinct are making anywhere from a few hundred to tens of thousands of dollars per month - that's right, per month - by selling ebooks online. Why are some authors doing so much better than others? We've discovered seven key mistakes that most ebook authors make (and in doing so, hold themselves back from major success):
1. They don't write to a specific, target audience.
The biggest mistake most ebook authors make is they don't clearly define, identify and visualize who they are selling their ebook to. On the Web, to be successful, you must write to a specific group of people who have specific interests. Make sure that you know exactly who is going to buy your ebook, and where you can find them online.

2. They don't automate as many of their business activities as possible.
Selling ebooks, though it is highly profitable, is not a business where you make hundreds of dollars per sale. Automate everything you can - credit card processing, ebook delivery, as much technical support as possible. If you can't automate a function, delegate it to someone else.

3. They don't have a compelling title for their ebook.
Use words that convey the benefit of what's in the ebook, as well as words your audience is familiar with. A bad title for an ebook: "Online Marketing for Newbies." A good title for the same ebook: "97 Ways to Promote Your Website - No Experience Required."

4. They try to cover too much ground.
Many ebook authors convey a lot of information but don't cover anything in-depth. As a result, they never fully explain anything in enough detail to provide any useful value to their readers. This is a very bad mistake to make, especially when it comes to how-to ebooks, which happen to be the best type to write.

5. They are not proactive in their marketing.
It would be nice if marketing for your ebook simply happened on its own - but it doesn't. You have to do it yourself. After you've promoted your ebook to the people on your own mailing list (if you have one), then you have to contact other Website owners and persuade them to be your affiliates. You should do this continually.

6. They don't differentiate their ebook from its competitors.
When you choose your topic, even if there are a hundred other ebooks out there on the same general subject, choose an angle for yours that will make it easy for yours to be distinguished from the others.

For example, right now job-hunting ebooks are very popular. There are dozens that are big sellers. "Secrets of Breaking Into Pharmaceutical Sales" has a very specific title that sets it apart from the competition, and is aimed at a clearly identified target audience. Incidentally, it's selling very well itself.

7. They write ebooks that nobody will pay for.
Many ebook authors write about information that either people can get for free, or that people are not actually interested in enough to pay for the information. Before you invest weeks or months into the writing of your ebook, invest a little time investigating whether other ebooks in the same subject area are selling on the Web.

So, there you have it - the seven big mistakes to avoid. Remember, the opportunities are plentiful - and huge - right now for anyone who wants to become a best-selling ebook author. Simply use common sense, follow our advice, and let your literary career flourish!

How to Make Money From Blogs and Websites

I went to an Internet Marketing seminar in London last month with my partner, John. The situation is that I had left my job in January, and spent the year researching ideas and adopting my dog, Kevin! John will leave his job near the end of 2007: we will both be in our fifties by then. If we had been a few years older we'd be collecting early pensions, but we seem to be the inbetweenies of the Baby Boomers. I was totally up for a home based web business, John wasn't sure. Especially, he was suspicious that the seminar was going to be some sort of scam. Now I'm not soft but I was really optimistic and confident that we'd learn something. After an hour at the seminar John was a believer! I didn't say 'I told you so', simply smiled along with his enthusiasm. This is the type of thing we learnt on the first morning:
Look for an easily targeted Niche market and find a product it is hungry for. Look for the problems that people have and provide a solution that they will pay for.
BE VERY SPECIFIC- “Golf” gets 64 million results- target a group who want to start!

Blogs need food

That might sound like the climactic speech from a caveman movie, but it's actually a hard truth of blogging. Business and marketing blogs need quality content on a regular basis in order to attract readers and search engines. In other words, you must feed your blog regularly if you expect it to grow. The challenge is coming up with quality content on a daily or weekly basis. Here's one solution:Robotic Research Assistant
Imagine having your own Web-crawling robot, surfing the Internet 24/7 to find relevant information you can use in your blog. Think of the time you would save, having this content delivered to your inbox every day. How much would a robot like that be worth?

Would free work for you?

Feed Your Blog with Google Alerts
With Google Alerts, you can enter a key phrase related to your blog and then be notified whenever Google "sees" a new Web document that includes your phrase. In other words, when Google indexes a new page related to your topic, Google Alerts will email you. You can set up the notifications daily, weekly or "as it happens."

As of this writing, Google Alerts is still in beta stage. But take it from me -- it works wonderfully.

A lot of the alerts you get will come from press releases and other developments within your chosen area. That makes them the perfect supplement to your blog. All you have do is summarize the information in your own words.

There you have it, your very own research robot to help with your blogging efforts. Give it a try. Just visit Google's website and click on the "more" link. Then click on "Alerts" and fill in the blanks. Now you've got your own, customized Web crawler!
