What does it take to become a successful Affiliate Marketer? What are the ingredients of an affiliate marketing success story? Is there a shortcut to Affiliate Marketing glory? All these questions play around in the minds of affiliate marketers who want to make it big in this business.
Although affiliate marketing is touted as one of the easiest and most effective ways to earn money online, it is not as easy as it sounds. The wise affiliate marketer plans every action and executes it the best way he can. He should also maximize the potential to earn by utilizing the right tools necessary for a successful Affiliate Marketing business. We have consulted some of the most successful affiliate marketers in the business and below are the top three necessary tools for a successful affiliate marketing business.

Important Tool #1: Your Own Website

The most important and indispensable tool in Affiliate Marketing is your own website. The first step in any successful affiliate marketing business is building a good, credible and professional looking website. Your website is the jump off point of all your marketing efforts. Thus, you must first build a user-friendly website, which will appeal to your prospects and encourage them to click on the links to the products and service you are promoting and make a purchase. Therefore, you must first concentrate your efforts in building a website that will cater to what your prospects need.

The most important thing you should consider is that almost all web users go online to look for information, not necessarily to go and buy something. Above all else, make your website full of original, relevant and useful content. People will love articles that are appealing and helpful. Keep in mind that, in the internet, content is still king and good quality content will not only build your credibility, it can also help you achieve a higher search engine ranking. By posting relevant and useful articles, you establish yourself as a credible expert in the field, making you a more trustworthy endorser of the product or service you promote. Establishing a good reputation is a good step in building up a loyal consumer base.

Important Tool #2: Incentives

Competition is extremely tight in the internet world. You must always be one-step ahead of your rivals to ensure that you capture a significant share of your target market. Therefore, you must use every possible means to encourage people not only to visit your site but also to click and proceed to the websites of the products and services you are promoting. Building an opt-in email list is one of the best ways to gather prospects. Offer a newsletter or an e-zine. Better yet, offer incentives to your prospects to encourage them to subscribe to your newsletters. You can present free softwares, access to exclusive services and other freebies that will be helpful to your prospects.

Important Tool #3: Link Popularity

The importance of driving highly targeted traffic to your website cannot be emphasized enough. The all-important web traffic is at the top of the list of the most important entities in the internet world. Attracting people to your site should be the first step you should carry out. Do everything to achieve a high search engine ranking. Link Popularity is one of the factors that search engines use to determine search engine rankings. Therefore, to enhance your link popularity, you must launch an aggressive reciprocal link campaign.

One of the best ways to do this – at no cost at all – is by submitting articles, with your website’s link at the resource box, to e-zines and free article sites. You will not only gain exposure, you will also have the opportunity to advertise for free, just include a link back to your site. The more sites you submit your articles to, the better your link popularity is. Make your articles original, relevant and useful so that more websites will pick it up and post it.

These are but three of the many tools that an affiliate marketer can use to maximize earning potential. The possibilities are endless and are limited only by your imagination, creativity, resourcefulness and determination. You can always explore other ideas and adapt other strategies, which you think might help you become a high rolling affiliate marketer.

Hmmm…..

Look at my Alexa rank (458,911) .
I think it is not very good but good . Don’t you th

ink like me ??

Well, now check Technorati rank (647,822) of this blog . Which is not good but not bad too .

But page rank ?? yeah that is 0 !! which is null And this why I can’t earn lots of money . Now let me focus main the

me of this post with some point .

1. If you have good pagerank (3 or up) . And lower alexa and technorati rank like 1,xxx,xxx . You can earn over $100 easily per month (I’m telling it from my experience) .
2. If you don’t have any pagerank and lower alexa and technorati rank like 1,xxx,xxx . You can’t earn money easily .
3. If you don’t have any pagerank but if you have higher alexa and technorati rank like xx,xxx . You can earn money easily.

I hope you understand my point . I want to say that google pagerank is the main key for newbie . Look at this picture , my thinking is just like this hierarchy.

To make money online at first you shold pay attention to build up your page rank then alexa rank and at last technorati rank . by the way you can increase google page rank and technorati at the same time because it is same quality. So next few days i will write about increasing google page rank .

Did you hear the name of Google Analytics ?? I tried to guess the answer of my question and I think most of you know what is it So may this post will go for them who owned a site but don’t know google analytics .

Ummmm…Thinking how I will start ?? Hmmm…..

By the way, if you ask me why I’m writing this article ? My answer is I see lots of people is afraid about google analytics . They think it is very critical to use .But i see it isn’t !! It is very easy

How To Start ?

• Do you have a account on google/gmail ? I know it is a question like foolish . But it is just for remembering . If you don’t have one please create a account right now and go to : http://www.google.com/analytics and sign up for a new account by using your google/gmail account .
• Login to your account . Then click on Add Website Profile » like this picture . On the next page fill all data and press continue .Then it will give you a code to place on the top of your web pages or site’s template . It is better to place the code in template file instead of web pages . If you are a wordpress user then go to “Theme Editor” > Header and place the code after <body> tag . If you think it is hard for you to manage these things may you can install Google Analyticator plugin .
• If you can complete 2nd step successfully then you will see a green signal from google in your analytics account just like this image :

You will see “transferring data from www.google-analytics.com” in status bar of your browser while loading your site . Look at this image :

I everything is same for you , Then you are almost done .

How To Use ?

Lol…. I think that is a question like a how to play games !! Isn’t it ?? I mean click on every link from your analytics dashboard then you will learn everything of analytics unless that will be hard to track/understand your traffic . After trying if you have any question in your mind don’t hesitate to ask me here . Okey ??

By the way, here I’m posting some images from inside of analytics .

Some Info :

• For those who think Google is missing out on some stats, I don’t know if this might be the reason, but give it some more time. E.g. when I checked my stats on Wednesday, Tuesday was already showing but with lower numbers than I expected (and lower numbers than Monday). And then, on Thursday, it’s showing with higher numbers than Monday. In other words, Google is often showing only partial data for a day, even though the day is already displayed. That might make some think the data of that day has been acquired completely, but that’s only one of the little oddities of Google Analytics…
• The geo map overlay graphic might not actually show precisely where your visitors come from. Certain proxies might fool you into thinking everybody’s from place X, when actually only the proxy is located at X.

Limitations

Many ad filtering programs and extensions (such as Adblock) can block the Urchin JavaScript. This potentially prevents some traffic and users from being tracked, and leads to holes in the statistical data. Also, privacy networks like Tor will mask the user’s actual location and present inaccurate geographical data.Some users do not have Javascript-enabled/capable browsers, which further limits the tracking ability of Urchin .

Do you have some points to say us ?? Please post a comment . But before ending i have a question to you which function of analytics do you like most ??

I will tell my one after hearing all of yours

StumbleUpon is a social bookmarking site where you can bookmark your favorite sites/pages by only 1 click !! Not only that while bookmarking you share that too That means other people can visit your favorite pages/site .

2. It’s the button you use to submit/share your sites/pages .

3. Use this button to write a review on your stumbled pages/sites .
Golden Tips & Tricks :

1 . Your StumbleUpon profile is important . So your first work is upload a cute picture to your profile . May you are male but i think it will be better if you use a cute girl’s picture . You know higher percent net user are male . So it is common girls will get more friend ;)So set your profile as single female and your age should be higher than 15, but lower than 30.

2 . Now start to make friend .Add as many “StumbleUpon” friends as possible. Make male friend from your female profile . Lol Normally they will make you friend too as a result you will get mutual friends which means more possibility of more traffic.I think you should make more than 10 mutual friend to get better result . You can make me friend here : murad12s.stumbleupon.com

3. Mind it your site must to be fast to load . Because visitor won’t wait for loading your slow site .

4. Submit and Tag your site/page to the related category so that the visitor can expect what they will find in your website. Build a good, unique, and informative content. Don’t lead stumblers to your blog or website main page! Link deep to individual posts or articles.

5. While submitting a page in

stumbleupon, write your topice name wisely . I mean don’t disclose your content material in your topic title . That means Use an ey

e-catching headline like “secret” or “shock” or “How”. The visitor will curious to kn

ow what is inside your website.

6 . Submit every page of your site to correct category . Mind it If you discover a page then recent 15 minute is gold time for that discover . I want to say if you can manage more 5-10 stumble for that page in 15 minute after your discover then that will ensure you 400+ unique visitor instantly . I think it is very easy if you can manage 5-10 online friend who use stumbleupon . And tell them to stumble your discovered page.

5. Suggest your reader to try StumbleUpon and install the toolbar to increase the number of your pages got “thumbs up”.

Content Writing Tips :

1 .Put your content above the scroll. Don’t expect your visitors will scroll up and down just to find out what’s interesting in your page!

2. Don’t make your font too tiny! I guarantee that if you do that, the stumblers just leave your site, they won’t give themselves a hard time by trying to read your little text.

3. Brighten up your articles with pictures. I mean make your article good looking . By which you visitor/reader will be interested on your topic from a glance .

SEO,THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS FOR WEBMASTER !!

Search Engine Optimization is a process of choosing the most appropriate targeted keyword phrases related to your site and ensuring that this ranks your site highly in search engines so that when someone searches for specific phrases it returns your site on tops.

It basically involves fine tuning the content of your site along with the HTML and Meta tags and also involves appropriate link building process. The most popular search engines are Google, Yahoo, MSN Search, AOL and Ask Jeeves. Search engines keep their methods and ranking algorithms secret, to get credit for finding the most valuable search-results and to deter spam pages from clogging those results. A search engine may use hundreds of factors while ranking the listings where the factors themselves and the weight each carries may change continually. Algorithms can differ so widely that a webpage that ranks #1 in a particular search engine could rank #200 in another search engine. New sites need not be “submitted” to search engines to be listed. A simple link from a well established site will get the search engines to visit the new site and begin to spider its contents. It can take a few days to even weeks from the referring of a link from such an established site for all the main search engine spiders to commence visiting and indexing the new site.

That means to indexed in the top list of search engine you need to optimize you site very well . For that you need good knowledge on seo .I don’t know seo too . But i will try to know about it more because without seo it is very hard to get targeted traffic for your site . Search engines are big source of targeted visitors .

I hope very soon i will be able to learn it slightly and i will share my little knowledge with you my friends

I think everyone should have at least one blog . Definitely one question arising in your mind , WHY ??

Well, It is not only one reason , their have lots of reason behind this why !! Before explaining i want to say that most of us have keen interest on writing may differ on topic . Such as i like to write on making money online , may someone like to write poem ,etc…

Now let me go to main point .

• We can pass our leisure time with it .
• We can share our thought with others/family/relatives .
• Blog is very easy to create and maintain beacuse we don’t need to learn any others things like html,php for it .
• It is search engine friendly
• It is fun and it makes you money to drink tea . Not only tea but also dinner .

I want to say that a kid can make money from blog too….

Confused about blog topic ?

Are you confused about your blog topic . I think it is the easiest part of blogging . Just ask yourself , About which are you interested ? Do you like music ? well pick that topic. Do you want to write about yourself ? Well, then why don’t you start a personal blog ??

I will suggest you to pick a topic you can write after hour an hour

Do you have Alexa rank and Technorati rank on your blog ??

Don’t think these are useless ranking !!  These are very important just like Google PR .

Because when you will go to submit your site to any money post network then they will pink your domain and will check these three ranking . So…..

In my previous post i wrote about Google PR .now let me explain Alexa and Technorati .

Technorati just count linkback from other blogs . That means how many bloggers link to your blog . Your link in more blog will insure your blog higher technorati rank . Check your Technorati Rank  here : http://technorati.com/search/your domain name

On the other hand , Alexa Rank depends on your blog/site traffic . More traffic will insure you more Alexa Rank .Check your domain Alexa rank here : http://www.alexa.com/data/details/main?url=http:// your domain name

But How To Increase These Rankings ?? Yes, I will explain that very soon with brief explaination because now I’m out of my time .

Sorry for inconvenience .

In my previous post mentioned that, I will make a article which is most important thing to earn more and more money from blog.

Yes,it is the time to write something about Google PageRank that means PR . Actually it should be GPR instead of PR . hahaha…ok no more fun, Let me start .

PR is a is a numeric digit into 1 to 10 out of ten which represents how important a page is on the web. Google figures that when one page links to another page, it is effectively casting a vote for the other page. The more votes that are cast for a page, the more important the page must be.

PageRank is given by Google thats why it called Google PageRank . It is a way of google to decide a page’s importance. It matters because whene someone search a thing in google search engine then pages with higher pr get priority to achieve top place on the search result .

Why PR Is Important To Earn More Money ?

It is because when advertiser looks for publisher then they give priority to these sites which have higher PR . If you have good PR as a example 3 or more than 3 then you can much more with your site . You can sell text link on your site too with higher price .

Smorty follow PR to make a higher offer for your blog . So keep it mind you need higher PR to earn more money .

Now let me start to setup a blog :

Hosting setup : You know at first you need to choose a hosting service . If you are a new blogger i mean if you are newbie in Webmaster world, i will suggest you to use free hosting . And finally if you can promote your blog then you can move to a paid hosting .

You can find a suitable free hosting from : Here

Or i can suggest you to go for Free Hostia and FreeWeb7 . As far i know really they are cool,reliable,without any ad . One more tips , Always go for cPanel because that is very easy to use and lots of features.
