Well that's cool, thanks for making a group about UFOs, I was thinking now if to make one or not, besides computers and others I also like to talk about UFOs.

Hello AJ,

Squidoo is great for affiliate marketing. As is HubPages dot com but they are very anal about affiliate articles. You are only allowed two outbound links.

I normally post to Squidoo, Blogger, HubPages, and a few of my blogs - all with the same long trailing keywords. For example, let's say I want to sell iPods. First thing to do is find those keywords. Check out freekeywords.wordtracker.com and enter iPods. You'll notice a little graph to the right of the keyword. Click that and you'll see some stats. You want to find a keyword that doesn't have so much competition, a good rule of thumb is any keyword that has under 100,000 search results is okay to use (the keyword). So you find a keyword, and let's say it is, "Buy Apple iPod Now". I see this keyword has under 100,000 results, so now I can start to promote it (making up those numbers). If you go to Google and type in your keyword with quotes, then you can see exactly how much competition you'll be facing. Because remember you want to be on the first or second page of Google. Believe it or not, being on the second page of Google will sometimes convert better than being on the first page. That is a different lesson :).

So now we have our keyword that doesn't have more than 100,000 search results - now we start writing our articles. Name the title, URL and keywords after your keyword. For example:

Please enter your title: Buy Apple iPod Now
Please enter your keywords: Buy Apple iPod Now,
Please enter a URL: http://hubpages.com/pages/Buy_Apple_iPod_Now

When you writing your article, you want to add your keyword atleast once or twice in your article. The exact keyword. You want to integrate it into your passage.

You might want to print this or save it somewhere and use it as a guide :).

Cheers

Greetings AJ,

Excuse me for my absence.

Would I suggest you buy traffic for 20 bucks? Hell no, keep your money. You might as well wipe your rear end with it. I could easily charge you 20 bucks and send you a million clicks. Have you ever gone to a website, click around/leave and you get these annoying pop-unders? How can you spot a pop-under? Basically it opens another browser window behind the current window. Most people immediately close the window without looking at it. So you are seeing visitors but I can promise you won't see a sale.

Don't get sucked into retards trying to scam or sell you stuff that doesn't work. I would recommend you not spend ANY money (only on domains/web hosting). You need to learn the art of bum marketing. Free traffic.

Sending traffic to your website will NOT boost your SEPR (search engine page rank). Grabbing traffic from QUALITY link-backs will boost your PR and Alexa rank.

If you would like to start PPC, don't! I would first make money with bum marketing than use that money to pour into a PPC campaign. 100% ROI is always nice to have. A lot of new marketers pour MASSIVE money into Google AdWords and ask me, "I have spent 500 dollars and haven't made a single sale." Listen - I would recommend you not send a single once of money on any product available on the internet. What works for another might not work for you. I want you to check out forums.nichechoppers.com.

Cool. I'm going to drop at your email addy, and visit your Squidoo page. Thanks a lot for your help. I really mean that.

Do you have some tips for the best way to get started learning about affiliate marketing through chat rooms, forums and groups? I figure an entrepreneur geek might have some advice for a newbie like me.

I would never play this song to my girlfriend (Whatever You'd Like) ... sorry not a big spender :).

You have a very interesting taste in music.

Hah, it's ok. It was pretty late at night when I wrote that, and I was a bit tipsy :P
