    Value of backlinks . . .

    Thanks - that all makes sense. While reading current SEO chatter I am understanding there's a feeling that backlinks that don't carry traffic are being (or will be) downgraded in value. So - for example - an artificially created backlink from a site with a PR of 6 which most folk would...

    Value of backlinks . . .

    I'm fairly new - but making money - and just starting to create quality backlinks to raise the value and position of pages/posts on my own Wordpress sites. May be a dumb question but - is it best to create individual backlinks for specific pages and posts that are individually keyworded on my...

    Does the 'Dash' make a difference ?

    Thanks everyone - appreciate all the thoughts . . .

    Does the 'Dash' make a difference ?

    I have the idea in my head that without dashes is stronger and with dashes is weaker - but not sure whether I dreamed this or whether it's reality or folklore.

    Does the 'Dash' make a difference ?

    When choosing a domain name based on a keyword phrase - does it make any difference to SEs whether you use dashes or not ? For example - you check 'hotbananaicecream' and find it's not available in a .com. However hotbanana-icecream.com and hot-banana-icecream.com are both available. As...

    Great Business - But Could It All Be Lost?

    Yes - there are many pitfalls here and I guess the younger folk are probably not giving this too much thought. I can remember being invincible too! It seems the real problem is the complexity of the business model. If you buy property and rent it out it's pretty easy to pass on as a going...

    Great Business - But Could It All Be Lost?

    I'm 61 - so I guess this is the sort of thing people my age think about. When I started learning about affiliate marketing 4 months ago - I put everything in my own name. Presumably I can go back and change names and details. I think the idea of putting everything in a company name or a trust...

    Great Business - But Could It All Be Lost?

    Over a number of years you build an Internet business that generates good money and supports a comfortable life style for you and your family. Your business has multiple income streams. You get payments directly into your personal bank account - by check to your home address - some cash goes...

    Starting's easy - but when do you stop?

    All good advice Linda - and thanks for that. The real reason that I do article marketing is to point links to my own website. It's a kind of clumsy SEO procedure. And it's clumsy because the conversion rates from my articles to my website are much much lower than from the merchant's website to...

    Starting's easy - but when do you stop?

    Hi Linda - thanks for your thoughts and links. Apologies for the time delay - but I'm in London in a different time zone. Now that you're challenging me to show you my work to date I suddenly feel nervous! Distant memories of handing in sub-standard school homework flash alarmingly before my...

    Starting's easy - but when do you stop?

    Hi Linda - many thanks for your speedy response. To answer your marketing questions - my campaign is not ppc. I read Perry Marshall but decided that was a great way to hemorrhage money for a beginner. I then decided to follow the Travis Sago method of Bum Marketing. I read some Squidoo stuff...

    Starting's easy - but when do you stop?

    As a relatively new entrant to affiliate marketing I seem to have reached a space that other folk must have also reached. So I'm curious to know what to do next. Like many people (I suppose) I have stumbled into aff mktg - made heaps of mistakes - bought a few carefully selected how-to ebooks...
