Im not sure who to believe when it comes to the world of internet marketing. Everyone claims that youll make money fast, and there program provides a residual income our runs on auto-pilot. All these buzz words are enough to drive you crazy. Who do you believe? The more hype that surrounds a process the more likely youll be wasting you money. I prefer to go with programs that have a track record that really work. For that reason I promote affiliate programs like those offered by Amazon, ACE Hardware, Dell and other, what I call hard good affiliate programs. I offer information products from Clickbank, but I do not focus a lot of effort marketing them since so many of the products are poor quality or are out dated. I have nothing against people that market these products; I just prefer to focus my effort on products that have a tangible value. For each product line and sub-product niche I create low cost sites, both Blogs and regular content sites. I write a number of articles related to the product and optimize Adsense ad placement, look and feel, etc..... Every product and site has its own optimum configuration to attain the results I am looking for. Typically I am looking for a small return on investment for a large number of sites. I short, no one system works for all the products I promote. It is necessary to test and rework every site until I either find the successful combination or I give up. There is a lot of talk about linking, and general Search Engine Optimization. I have my theories on what works and does not. But all-in-all I do not worry much about my placement in Googles SERP. I focus on content, product offerings, keyword demand as related to anchor text and domain name. I find the domain name is probably the most important part of getting fast free Search Engine traffic. In the end Id rather have 100 sites making $10 per day than one site that makes $30,000 a month. People may think thats crazy, but I dont want all my eggs in one basket. So my answer to Who do you believe?..yourself. |
