    One broad website or several smaller ones?

    mistrel is spot on, but alternatively you can try categories as folders as well with more or less the same SEO impact as long as you have an independent category page. I mean dogs.com/leashes as category independent page, and you can build dogs.com/leashes/training-leashes.html to host the...

    Time on site % effecting ranking?

    Turn clocks back to '09 I when I ran some before/after tests enabling and disabling Google Analytics on a page -> on a website with low visits, low bounce rate, no visible impact on rankings. On a website with high visits, high bounce rate -> drop in rankings with GA code on the page. Did it a...

    Which superpower would you choose?

    I am not picky about imaginary powers - proved in a debate years ago that anything you can do better than anyone else is a super-power in itself. Balancing a ball on the top of your head longer than anyone else still qualifies - so I guess my answer is - I'd like to be better than anyone else at...

    Feedback on my plan would be appreciated :)

    My 2c - get your competitors assessed for the respective keywords. Sometimes you don't need the "perfect" onpage SEO from day one, but you must know where you stand and get a clear view on their backlinks footprint.

    Be so kind and help a newb?

    did anyone mention social bookmarking? do the common sense bookmarking, and don't forget Stumbleupon in case you have strong visuals. patience is key :-)

    Had my first idea for site but scared of jumping in?

    ...who's doing what on AdWords (the full service is subscription-based). These should get you started. As promised, here is an idea on testing *real* search volumes on Google. You will need a second AdWords account, that you are prepared to sacrifice if required (careful, they do not grow in...

    First post: A couple questions

    Welcome to the forum, it is great you took time to do your research and ask yourself these questions - I think you have already found some of your own answers. To get the other side of things on e-books, I found this thread very informative

    I remember Ellen Degeneres also claimed on stage that G was a "she"... Linda is right

    Is your WordPress blog not being indexed by Google?

    Yes, this is actually true, Google changed their ways some times ago. Not sure if it affects the SEs, though - unless they started using canonicalization as well. So no reason to beat yourself. Yet this is something I have never looked into seriously - is WP adding the canonical parameter...

    Had my first idea for site but scared of jumping in?

    do your market research first. traffic volumes, industry conversion rates, competition - they all matter. might be the most wonderful niche ever and still have insufficient volumes to make it viable. on the other hand, the players you mentioned have behind a trail of affiliates left without a...

    Do you join any paid survey program?

    I would recommend being very careful around these. In order to get paid, you need to fill in your real details, otherwise is fraud. Sometimes what starts as a survey (in fact a plain zip-submit) ends as a trial offer and credit card details are requested. If you end up enrolled in a couple of...

    Affiliate Newbie?s Guide To Finding Niches

    @JackieLee... in brief, that he acknowledges content quality has nothing to do with writing and Search Engines are still too dumb to make the difference.

    Newbies: A Sure-Fire Method For Choosing Affiliate Products to Promote

    hi, JackieLee - thank you for the observation, I think you are right. guess my post was talking more to David, I wasn't contributing much newbie information there. yet you made me think of something about starting an Internet Marketing "career" - there are newcomers that know nothing of...

    Response to scammers

    Thank you for the follow-up. I see your point, please allow me to explain mine. What you suggested was setting up a website to inform potential buyers that a certain product/service was a scam. So far, the OP said he could not avail of the risk-free option (get his money back). The...

    Response to scammers

    hm... so blackmail is the solution. how long until we hire a botnet to DDOS the website? escalating an incident is easy, the reverse - a lot more complicated. PS. *** Are those affiliate links in your sig?

    Response to scammers

    I think that paying through Paypal from credit card funds is good enough - just be careful and don't overdo it, PP does not enjoy the process either, nor does your CC company. Linda is right, although I remember taking part in a podcast last year where the host was suggesting setting up...

    Building backlinks - long term strategy?

    Hi, ParetoMitch, and welcome to the conversation. I agree with most of your points, except maybe for the oversimplification of your comparison example. My 2c: - 5000 backlinks from various domains will not be indexed overnight (but yes, they would look spammy on a new domain). - realtime search...

    Can An Ethical Affiliate Make It?

    Nice topic, indeed. I am doing "traditional" Affiliate Marketing for some years now (what Linda called retail). It's a well-established model and there are plenty of spins on it (I for one have ACTIVE participation in some 2500 affiliate programs over the reputable networks mentioned above...

    Can I submit review articles to Squidoo or HubPages?

    apologies if I came too hard on that aspect - I personally do not care if a review is fake or not (since reviews are subjective, even an honest review can be misleading). what I am trying to tell you is to be true to yourself about your motivation - as an affiliate you are out for the sales...
