Misspellings or keyphrases with a weird or nonintuitive wording can be very profitable. Like you said, sometimes they will outperform prettier looking phrases.
What I do to keep my sites looking coherent is have a tiny area somewhere that something like "more articles" or simply "more."...
Best of luck to you (from another Dan!)
Seriously, the hardest part is getting going with that first site. After that it does get easier, really.
Also I wouldn't take that advice about only doing what you're passionate about too literally....for instance, it's easy to waste a lot of time...
Well, for me it's not so much a matter of how many articles I write per product as it is how many do I write per keyword or keyphrase.
Sometimes I'll go after a bunch of keyphrases per product and write an article for each keyphrase. These could all be leading to just ONE landing page on my...
Wow, this is really cool! I've often looked for leads like that to run PPC in other countries, but again, if you're not good with the local language and culture, sometimes it's a bust.
As I read your case study I was wondering halfway through it if you'd accidentally written something like...
One reason I love selling in the "make money online" niche is that if you find good products that teach people real skills, you can empower people to take charge of their financial future in ways they weren't doing before.
We all know people who thought they'd be working for Corporation A for...
Actually, there are tons of non-Internet related products that sell well at Clickbank.
Personally I find Clickbank's search feature totally useless, so if you want to type in some keywords related to different niches you're interested in and see if there corresponding products at Clickbank...
Yes, I agree that Rosalind Gardner's book is wonderful for the beginner. Clean, clear, packed with links to free resources, and highly motivational. You can also check out her blog which has good info on it.

I'd like to add one thing that can be difficult to wrap your head around when you're just getting started. That is the importance of building backlinks to your site. And the way to look at this process, which sometimes people don't quite understand.
When you place a backlink to your site on a...
Mozilla's Firefox is a great Internet browser - more reliable than Internet Explorer. And if you download and install that for free it automatically gives you the page rank of any site you're looking at. You can have Explorer and Firefox installed on your computer and use either one or both at...
Well, I used to think about it that way - always avoid niches with big competition.
The problem is that there is huge money being spent in those niches. Huge traffic. Tons of buyers.
So what I tend to do is to focus on both a sub-niche within a large niche and the large niche itself - both...
Great points, Linda.
I do think thought that while you are writing about your passion and getting experience with online publishing that studying some of the copywriting teachers out there like Robert Bly or Joe Vitale could also be very helpful. Keep in mind that copywriting is almost 180...
I'm not sure if Squidoo is nofollow now but it is a great way to drive traffic.
I like to do a Squidoo lens in my niche before I bring out a new site, while I'm still working on the actual site. Give it about a week's lead time and post something on it every day to get it listed high in...
Thanks for this resource. I like to use Google Hot Trends for this.
About once a month I'll find some weird product or interesting niche I've never heard of getting tons of searches there and I'll throw up a simple landing page on one of my older sites, bookmark it a few places, and see sales...
I'm going to be the contrarian here and remind people that:
1) Some of the most profitable blogs have very little quality content in terms of "factual" material - they can be completely rants, personal essays, responses to news items and highly personal reactions and
2) You don't have to...
I agree with you Linda. Although it can be helpful getting some initial links from articles directories there are so many opportunities to lose visitors through the Adsense ads and other distractions that you also need to build content on your own sites where you have more control.
I do some...
If you have a shared hosting plan through your hosting provider you will be able to register an entirely new domain for the new blog you'd like to build and use your existing hosting plan. This can be a super inexpensive way to go. It sounds like if you're no longer interested in updating your...
Hello all,
I'm Dan, a professional musician and affiliate marketer. I just discovered this active forum and hope to participate a lot here. I'm a musician who uses affiliate marketing to help finance his "dream" job. Along the way I've become more and more passionate about Internet marketing...
