Anyway, recently I had the opportunity to review a product called One Month Affiliate.

“One Month Affiliate” is an info product that teaches people how to make money from affiliate marketing. So how does it fare? Is it worth the money? Does it provide great value? READ ON!

But first … the proof that I actually have the product:

And another one …:

Ok, with that over, One Month Affiliate is basically a video tutorial series that shows you just what you need to do to make steady income month after month in affiliate marketing. For the complete beginner, the learning curve might be a little steep but it’s still pretty good overall.

For those who have got a bit of affiliate marketing experience under their belt but are struggling to make and break the US$1000++/month target, this could very well be the perfect product for you to double, triple or even QUADRUPLE your income and I ain’t exaggerating here.

Overall, it’s definitely worth the price you’re paying for although I felt that Alex (the creator of the course) could have put in a little more effort and value by making sure his videos were loud enough (they were a little too soft) and that the videos on keyword research by done more thoroughly.

Pros: Videos were easy to understand, Methods are ethical and legal, Techniques can be easily followed and implemented, Support is great, Course is extremely affordable

Cons: Volume a little too soft (I’m sure Alex is working on this right now), Not designed for advanced/expert affiliate marketers, Could have spent a little more time on some videos (No biggie)

Summary: 2 Thumbs up for a great value course! I’d say get it right NOW … !

Generally speaking, there are 3 main criteria I look for in choosing and deciding my domain names.

My Criteria:

The domain name should on some degree be …

1) SEO-able

2) Brand-able

3) Memor-able

On the first point of the name being SEO-able, a name like “sdfkjwelk” is not SEO-able (per se). If you intend to have a site on fishing, you should have related keyword/s in your domain name (if you want it to be SEO-able that is).

2nd point on being brand-able are names like eBay, FaceBook and so on and so forth.

When we talk about memor-able as the 3rd point, we meant that the name should be catchy if possible.

Ok, till we meet again! God Bless!

Some time ago (was just 3 weeks ago in fact), I made a post titled ClickBank Commissions. Well, I just want to take this time to:

1) Update you on how I’m doing with affiliate marketing on ClickBank and

2) ClickBank with Adwords … and whether that’s profitable (in my case at least).

To start off, take a look at this screenshot:

I’ve been doing ok so far in my 1st month of ClickBank affiliate marketing (i’ve done aff marketing before … just not with CB) with the highest on any single day being $70. Not much but decent to say the least. *I know that’s snigger-able for some of you big fishes out that*

Anyways, today was an absolute breakthrough. I got back from church with a friend mid afternoon and when I logged in to my account, I nearly fell off the chair. God be my witness!

Not because I did not think it was possible to achieve that much in a day, heck … some people hit $5000++ in a day. But because it was more than twice I’ve ever achieved on a single day over the last 3 weeks.

I’m definitely on track to hit at least $1k within my first 30 days with Clickbank so that has to be good. But it certainly can get better.

For those that are starting out or have started out for some time and have not seen much for your results so far, I hereby encourage you to stay the course and keep your eyes on the prize. Whatever you’re doing (be it article marketing, craigslist, videos, pay per click, yakety yakety), keep at it for at least a little while longer.

Hope this little post has been interesting for you all. For those using Adwords, I strongly suggest that you check this software out. It’s a power tool I promise ya. (For what it’s worth, I think non PPC guys could use this out as well because it helps you look for little and untapped niches).

Tell ya what … for those that actually do get the tool via the link above, contact me and I’ll give you a little hand at starting out.

Thanks be to God for my decent results so far. Cheers all! =)

P.S Many of my sales (not all) are coming via Adwords and my ROI is approximately 3 to 1 so far. As I’ve said earlier, the tool I’m using is an awesome help.

An Update on 21st Feb (my local time):

*Drum roll please*

1) URL / Domain – Make sure the keywords you’re targeting are somewhere in your domain or url.

E.g If my site is broadly about fishing, then I want to preferably have the word “fishing” in my domain name like fishingresource or fishingfreaks or whatever. And taking it one step further, if I wanted to target fishing baits for a page on my domain, I would do something like fishingresource.com/fishing-baits.htm … Got it?

2) Title Tag

Be sure to have your target keywords somewhere in your <Title> tag. Especially near the front. It’s a science! *wink*

3) Meta Keywords

Again … be sure to have your keywords in your meta keywords tag. Oh and have related terms there as well.

Tip: Head over to my Gearbox page and look for the link to Quintura. It will help you identify related keywords (technically, it’s called LSI)

4) Meta Description

Write this in a natural language and just like the <Title> tag, have your keywords in there and near the front. Keep it short and succint otherwise there will be keyword dilution.

5) H1 and H2 Tags

Need I say more? This is to help the search engine crawlers confirm what your page is all about. So using “fishing baits” again, you would have something like “fishing baits” as your H1 tag and “types of fishing baits” as your H2 tag. Make sense?

6) Onpage Relevancy

This stems down to your actual content and keyword density. If you want to get your page about fishing baits ranked well, the SE (search engine) would expect to see related terms (refer to tip #3) on the page. Also, be sure to have your keyword/keyphrase repeated a couple of times (but to the stage of keyword spamming) as well.

7) BACKLINKS, BACKLINKS, BACKLINKS

Ok … enough of onsite optimization (tips #1-6).

Now this step is literally the MOST IMPORTANT (say that again pls) of all. You must get lots of backlinks to the page you want to be ranked for. Like anything else, there’s a right and wrong way of doing things.

With backlinks, you want to be sure to have your keywords as your anchor text. Not sure what I’m talking about?

Take a look at this:

<a href=http://fishingresource.com/fishing-baits.htm title=”fishing baits”>Fishing Baits</a>

So basically it’s like this:

<a href=”the page you want to be ranked for” title=”your keywords”>”Your Keywords”</a>

Tip: Btw, make sure the backlinks you get are from pages without the “nofollow”. Google it to find out more.

Phew … Took me about 30 minutes to write all these just for you. But hey, I wanna help you guys out.

P.S Don’t look down on this short little writeup. These tips are easily worth $49++ (thank yourself for checking these out) … Just because you got them free doesn’t mean …

P.P.S Check back shortly for my next post which will give you some good niches that are vastly untapped and can be easily dominated!

P.P.P.S If you really want to get good at SEO (search engine optimization), I suggest you take a look at this product. Sure it cost a bit of money but if you apply what is taught here and there, you’ll go far and your pages will be right up there.

Hope you guys enjoyed this! =)

Summary:

Out of the 10 sites, 2 are blogspot hosted and oddly enough, they hold the 1st and 10th spots.

2 sites opted not to use any of the meta keyword/description tags. Of the remaining 8, 5 did utilize both the keyword and description tags. 2 sites decided to use ONLY the meta description tag while leaving the meta keyword tag only.

With regards to the title tag, every site except for Bidvertiser had the words “make money online” as their 1st 3 words in the title tag. Most of the sites also have “make money online” somewhere on their page as their <H1> tag.

Keyword density for “make money online” ranged from 0.67% to 3.76%.

Every body wants to earn money online while sitting at home. For this many people started making their own web site design and uploaded it. At first people don’t know how to select domain names but now people are aware of them and people know that they should match with the keywords so that more visitors can find and visit their site. The website should follow search engine optimizing rules to attract more visitors. Some people pay for cpc marketing so that one can see their ad on the search engine. There are many other ways for advertising the products that one is selling online. One can also take advertising services from webhost providers or one can hire marketers but internet marketers charges really high as compared to web host providers.

The problem is … it makes you lazy and trust me, it won’t force you to be innovative when thinking about your next domain name.

Good news is … somewhere along the lines, I’ve already gotten rid of that belief. Fact is there are still plenty of good (if not excellent) domain names that are waiting for you to be registered for either your own new website’s purposes and even for speculation.

Just 2 days ago, I was able to register yet another domain name which in my opinion was an awesome domain name. I registered internet-marketing-affiliate.com!

Some weeks ago, i had done my research and had a shortlist of names which I felt were pretty good. One of them was weight-loss-cure.net. I had ideas as to what I would do with the domain name if it was mine. For some reason or other, I did not register it. Only reason I can think of was because of INACTION (or what we would normally term as PROCRASTINATION) . Indeed, procrastination is one of the biggest causes of failure (i’ll be the first to admit that I’m a victim of it).

Anyway, back to the topic. Some days past (since I checked weight-loss-cure) and sure enough, one morning as I got up to check on my shortlist of names, lo and behold, someone had already registered it while I was in “another world”. It was the classic case of “you snooze, you lose“. I was slightly pissed.

So here’s what I suggest, if you’ve been wanting to register a domain name for some time now and have not done so, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? And if you’ve been giving yourself excuses such as “there are no more good domain names left“, start wearing your thinking cap and get to work. There are LOTS of excellent domain names (as there are lots of pretty single ladies) that remain unregistered till today.

Remember … you snooze, you lose!

P.S I’m going to put up the 1st of keyword studies some time next week so look out for that! 

To give you an idea of what these some of these hot keywords are, they are:

• Weight Loss (this phrase is more popular than “how to lose weight”)
• Make money online (or make money from adsense)
• Internet Marketing / Internet Marketing Blog
• Coffee Maker
• etc, etc

Factors which will go into the report:

• <Title> tag
• <Meta> tags
• <Header> tags
• Domain/URL (Do .com/.net/.org matter?)
• Order of Keywords
• Keyword Density
• Google PR (this has been a topic lately)
• Age of Webpage
• Do singular/plural forms of words matter?
• etc, etc

Meantime, if you want to be the first ones to get these precious reports, just fill in your name and email on the right hand side of this page (and in the process, get a free audio + 7 tips ebook).

P.S If there are any hot keywords you like me to do a case study on, just let me know via the comments! =)
