    Feedback on my plan would be appreciated :)

    Hi Keith, Sure I am helping to pitch in with a few answers. I agree with Victor's comments on backlinking. You mention that "Google raises, or drops, ranking based on consistency of posting new content, or lack thereof." This is true to a point. Google loves well researched well written...

    Is anyone actually making any money?

    I personally have been earning a full-time income from affiliate programs since 1999. It is very doable and I know dozens of other people who are also earning full-time incomes. One very popular proven strategy is to write a very honest credible review for a product that is already known to...

    Of Course You Learn From Failures, But...

    I learned about affiliate marketing back in 1999 when a friend wandered into my home office and said "let me show you what I am doing". It was the first time I had saw an affiliate based website. I asked him if "...he would mind showing me how to do the same?" He did. It was a great way to get...

    Do you guys spend more time backlinking or more time on-site?

    Great question. In my affiliate efforts I spend at least 60-70% of my time backlinking through guest writing on other sites. I found over the years that the real money is in the creation of high quality content on other people's sites with a couple great backlinks in each article back to my...

    How many backlinks per day?

    Focus On Quality, Not Quantity I have found that you can do amazingly well by forgetting about "the number of links", and instead, focus on the *quality* of those links. It's not really a numbers game as it was in the past. A simple little plan I follow that works extremely well. focus your...

    Adwords to Ban Affiliate CPA Free Trial/Rebill Offers and Fake Testimonials

    Hi Linda, This will definitely clean up a number of the nastier CPA offers. I would think all of this is the beginning for more and more regulation of the web, which is both good and bad. I was reading an article yesterday in the New York Times F.T.C. that shows the crack down is coming...

    Don?t Put All Your Eggs In 1 Basket - Bad Advice for Affiliates

    Keyword research

    Keyword Research Tools I have used Wordtracker for years. It's great service, but to get its full benefit you really want to invest in the paid version. The service I have been using most recently is Nichebot. It's a lot more robust than Wordtracker and also offers the same database of...
