There’re a number of what I call SEO Snake’s Oil salesmen out there who will claim to help you rank for 1,000 keywords, but Wil has a caveat empor warning for those who might fall prey to these ruses:

I have been reading of instances in which some dubious SEOs will help you rank for terms like “divorce lawyer outrageous settlement los angeles”. But seriously, what’s the Continue reading →

Shawn Collins’ and Missy Ward’s Affiliate Summit East has wrapped up in Miami and it has provided some buzz, even from where I’m at halfway around the world.

If you didn’t make it down, Shawn has posted a listing of WebProNews’ video coverage of the event.

Jim Kukral seems to have been holed up in the Blogging Room the entire event and has posted quite a bit of content. Pity I wasn’t down there, else I’d have visited him once or twice (For real this time, Jim…)

He did post this marvel of a pic though:missy ward and stephanie internet girl geek

Forum Expert Launches Forum Secrets Revealed Guide

If you’ve recently invested in a copy of the recent CMS Infusion software or are planning to setup a membership site, or build a social networking/community site, you’d want to take a close at a forum product launched today by forum expert Ryan Chua.

When I was setting up my first forum, I approached fellow Internet Marketer Ryan Chua. Ryan’s one of the founders of BMW-Sg.com, one of the most profitable automotive-focused forums on the net.

ryan chuaHe helped set up my vBulletin-based forum and configured plugins to optimize its traffic visibility. Along the way, he’s also helped a number of other established Internet Marketers develop their forum and community strategies.

If you’ve plans to add a community elements to your site, you might want to check out the free installment of the forum guide that Ryan has released.

The 80-page forum guide gives you a breakdown of forum setup, factors in your planning process and compares various forum solutions. You likely already have this in your hosting account from the likes of Bluehost, but from what I’ve seen, the documentation thus far tends to be very technical or sketchy. Ryan’s guide brings it down a notch so it’s more easily accessible.

Here’s an extract from Ryan’s Forum Secrets Revealed contents page:

Building A Niche Community To Better Monetize Your Affiliate Marketing Efforts

1 Reply

Most PPC Marketers would probably send traffic direct to the Affiliate Marketing/CPA (cost per acquistion/action) offers landing page. But here’s an idea, build a niche community, like the folks at newly launched Boomj.com are doing.

You might’ve received a notification about the site targeting Baby Boomers and “Generation Joneses” last week.

It appears to be a fairly “mass” campaign, rather than a targeted one because I’m clearly a “Gen Xer” (born between 1965-79).

Although guys like Shoemoney, PepperJam’s Kris Jones, Gauher Chaudhry and Amit Mehta do really well with PPC traffic to CPA offers, I’m thinking that building a dedicated niche community helps you get better leverage out of your lead generation efforts.

With Gauher’s background in information marketing, I’m sure he’s one of the frontrunners in putting this process into action.

This requires a paradigm shift, from going beyond just a product-based focus to Continue reading →
