If you want to give it a go on your own keep reading -
Just do this. (Search Engine Optimization) SEO begins with proper keyword selection – which means you will build a website or webpage, or simply an article ALL revolving around a keyword (or phrase) that has commercial value (people looking to spend money), low competition, a high
number of searches, and hopefully one that will last a while - although you can also make a pretty penny on fads and products that will only be around for a limited time. But generally, longevity is a good thing. I'll touch on this more later. There are dozens of tools & services out there for keyword research. I use 2 tools, both of which are free for keyword research. When I'm crunched for time, I use the Google Keyword Tool. Here's how I use it: First things first, I always select exact match:
Here I'm looking for a keyword with at least 1,000 exact match searches per month. And I mean local, not global. You can click on “local monthly searches� to sort properly by highest number of searches.
The only issue with doing this, is that Google is somewhat limited on the number of results it will show, or the keywords it will “reveal” that you may not have thought of. For example, let’s say I use it to look up the keyword “legos”. I will either get a lot of general keywords, or those that contain the word “legos”. But MANY will be left out, so we need to think more vertically or horizontally. By vertically, I mean we need to think of additional words typically associated with legos that didn't show up in the findings. For example, in my use of the Google Keyword Tool for “legos”, nothing came up about video games. Yet I know there are a lot of video games with lego characters. So I need to change my original (seed) keyword from “legos” to “lego video games”, and boom: 2900 exact match results, and a bunch of other suggestions not offered on the previous search.
By horizontally, I mean something similar to legos, but perhaps not using the term “legos”. Like a knock off toy, such as “mega blocks” - which I found by simply doing a search for “toys like legos” on Google. Now I have another new seed keyword for a different product. When I want to dig deeper, I use Market Samurai: Basically Market Samurai gathers a lot of data from Google and shows it all to you in one place. Instead of doing all of the manual stuff above with the Google Keyword Tool, it helps automate the process a bit. Here is a walkthrough of how I use Market Samurai:
After you’ve downloaded it and opened it, you are asked to pick a keyword as the basis for your niche. You can use the keyword you found above, from using the Google Keyword Tool. Or you can start over and pick a general keyword related to a Clickbank product, or an Amazon product. Check the fast start videos for how to choose niches/products. Let's say I used the keyword from above, “mega blocks”. Market Samurai will create a project for called "mega blocks". On the next page, click on the keyword research tab. On the next page, you should put a checkmark next to “Google Keyword Tool” and add your Google login info. If you don't enter this info, you will get less results. You can signup for a free account at http://adwords.google.com. I typically change the “phrase length” option to a minimum of 2. That is because I
don't want to try to compete for a one word keyword.
After the above, click “generate keywords”. A captcha will popup to fill out. Next click “analyze keywords” at the bottom right of the page. Following that you will see something like this:
The only variables I really care about in Market Samurai are:
1) Total Searches – I personally set the minimum to 1000. This is the number of times the keyword/phrase is searched for monthly.
2) AWCPC – This is the average amount of money that advertisers are paying on Google for each person that clicks on their ad specifically for the related keyword. The higher, the better. I like to see 30 cents or more here. If it’s more like $1.00, that’s a very good sign that this keyword has a lot of commercial value. 3) SEOTC – I would set this to 100,000 if you are just starting out. This is the number of competing website for the keyword phrase. Obviously the lower the better. Keep in mind that there is a big difference between 100,000 and 30,000.
If you find a keyword with fewer than 30,000 I can almost guarantee you will get
the # 1 spot, especially if you use the backlink techniques described below. IMPORTANT – Even though there may be very little competition, it is worthwhile to check the “SEO Competition” module in Market Samurai to make sure that the top 10 isn't currently stocked with 10 sites that could be insurmountable.
For example, if every site in the top 10 is 6 years old, has 20,000+ backlinks, is a PR6, and has all of their meta tags done correctly, (The 4 Y's are highlighted), you may have a tough time surpassing them. In that case, perhaps you should move on.
Below is an example of BTF methods in action. This website is the # 2 ranked site below for the keyword “chexsystems”.
As you can see, it’s a PR0, the domain age is less than a year, and there's only 240 backlinks, BUT I got the 4 Y's right, as well as all of the stuff you'll learn a bit later, so this is beating sites It shouldn't necessarily be beating, because the owner worked SMARTER.
(the above picture is from the SEO module of Market Samurai which allows you to check the competition – this is one of the best parts of the software) The 4 Y's: (you'll learn more about these later) Title: Is the keyword in the title of the page? URL: Is the keyword in the URL? Desc: Is the keyword in the meta description? Head: Is the keyword used in heading tags on the page? Most site owners do not do all 4 Y's, so there is opportunity there for you to beat them. 4) AWC: This represents the amount of advertisers as compared to all other keywords. I simply use this to identify if there is a low number of advertisers and a high AWCPC, because that would indicate it could be a nice market to jump into in general.
5) SEOV – I would set the minimum to anywhere from $50 to $100 – this is a calculation of the maximum number of visitors you would receive if you were # 1, multiplied by the highest CPC (cost per click) an advertiser is currently paying on Google.
The higher this is, the better. It means that there are advertisers bidding on this keyword, which means it is likely commercially viable. In other words, the people searching for this phrase spend money or are worth money. There are exceptions to the rule however. For example, I have a keyword that gets 49,000 exact match searches, and the SEOV is only $34. But I'm still going after this keyword because the search volume is so high. 6) Match Type – I set this to “exact”. This shows you the real picture of how many people are typing in the exact keyword phrase. Make sure you set the search period to “monthly” instead of daily, so you don't get confused. Also, once you have your favorite presets, you can save them so that every time you add a keyword in the future, you'll already have all of your preferences setup. Just click the little save button next to where it says “golden rules”. Also, use common sense. If you find a phrase that is reported to get tons of searches, but makes absolutely no sense, there is a chance that Market Samurai is getting inaccurate data from the Google keyword tool.
*Tip* - No matter what, not ALL of your keywords/sites will be winners! Don't get ONE-itus and continue plugging away on a site or keyword that just isn't working. Sometimes, you need to cut your losses and move on!
UPDATE: The title and URL Competition came back within Market Samurai's functionality. You can use SEOTC and SEOUC to help you in your keyword research efforts.
Unfortunately the data doesn't just update automatically when you're doing your research. You have to “check” for that data for each individual keyword. It doesn't allow you to fetch the data for the entire batch all at once. SEOTC is a function that tells you the amount of competing websites that have the keyword in the “title” of their page, which is a much better indicator of competition than SEOC. SEOUC will show you how many search results have the keyword in the URL. These are important ranking factors as you already know. You can also do a search in Google like this: allintitle:”keyword” (where “keyword” would be the keyword you are doing research on)
OCI is a function that doesn't work. This info was pulled from MSN AdLabs and gave you the percentage chance that the searcher for a particular keyword was a “buyer” or not. It was a nice feature, but after the merger of MSN & Yahoo, they stopped offering it. That is why we rely on SEOV + common sense instead. I will share one tip though: OCI was always very high for “product names”. OK, so now that you understand the functions, let's review the remaining keywords. Look for the one with the most searches, combined with the least competition,
combined with the highest SEOV.
You can click on the “searches” column to sort highest to lowest, and you can also do the same with SEOV and SEOTC.
Say you’ve decided to target the keyphrase “kidney diet”. At the time of this writing it has 1,000 exact match searches per month, 31,000 competition (SEOC), 8,000 title competition (SEOTC) and a $12 SEOV. The SEOV is low, which means there aren't many advertisers bidding on the keyword. But I happen to know of an ebook that I could sell about “kidney diet secrets”, so I'm willing to give it a shot. (***UPDATE*** - most of my websites earn on average around $550/mo per site, so you can see that SEOV is not always accurate. Again, use your own best judgment.)

Another keyword software I use which I highly recommend is Affiliate X. It’s much easier than Market Samurai and the review page tells you everything you need to know -Check it out here. Next you'd go over to namecheap.com or godaddy.com and see if the domain name http://kindeydiet.net/ or .com or .org are available. Any of the 3 are great choices. If none of those 3 are available, you have a few choices. You can forget this keyword and choose another. Or you can add a word like “info” or “review”, or something similar e.g. http://bringthefreshreviews.co.uk
It’s very important for (easy) SEO purposes to have the keyword/keyphrase in your domain name, and it should only be .com, .net. or .org. I’ve tested other extensions, and none have worked as well for me. If the desired domains are not available, pick a different keyword from Market Samurai that looks good and keep doing so until you find one that has a suitable domain available. Don’t bother with hyphens either. NOTE: Sometimes it can be difficult to find an available domain for a good keyword. If you find yourself frustrated, you can always add an additional word to the domain. However, it will then require much stronger and better backlinks to get your site ranked high.
If you have bought Affiliate X – Use this to the MAX it’s a brilliant piece of software that really helps increase your sales with step by step instructions and a full guarantee!
So you have to decide which is the better solution for you... keep looking for an easy to rank, exact matching domain, or put in the legwork to get a domain ranked with an extra word. For example, if you are determined to go after the keyword “blue widgets”, and bluewidgets.com, .net, or .org are not available, you can try for bluewidgetsreview.com, .net or .org, or something like that. Just be prepared to work a little harder to get it ranked.
You can also develop an “authority” site that doesn't have the keyword in the domain at all. However, you should only consider doing so if you are prepared to put a LOT of time, effort and focus into this site. For authority sites, you will need MANY strong
backlinks, especially if you are going for tough keywords. What you would do in this case is create a site such as “authority.com” (any name) with pages such as authority.com/my-keyword.html, authority.com/my-keyword2.html and so on.
I only recommend authority sites for people who have already gotten several easier sites ranked, and have a very good grasp on how SEO works. Now back to the easy way to do things... Using a general word such as “health” as your base keyword, Market Samurai will return 800 potential keyword results. Sometimes none of the 800 will work for you. Either they don't match the criteria above, or the desired domain isn't available. So what you would do is take note of one of the highest searched keywords with decent SEOV out of the group. Then on the left menu click “new keyword”, and start again with the new keyword, which will return a new group of 800. Repeat this until you find a suitable keyword and domain. Now you can go over to Name cheap or GoDaddy.com Once you've selected a domain, you can get a hosting plan at Host Gator from $3.00/month. This account will allow you to host “unlimited” sites. It will be the only hosting account you really need, unless you plan on getting 50+ domains. At that point you may consider additional hosting. Once you’ve purchased your hosting plan, you will be given an email with login info to your “cpanel”. It will be like this: http://yoursite.com/cpanel This is where you control the hosting for your domains. Now login it and go down to the bottom left and it will show you the “nameservers” for your account. Usually something like NS1.DNSACE.COM and NS2.DNSACE.COM. Write these down. You can also find these in the welcome email from BrainHost. Now go back to godaddy and login. Go to “my account”, and select “my domains” and click on the domain you just bought. Now click on the link in the toolbar above it called “name servers”. This is where you will change the nameservers to those you copied from your BrainHost account, and save the changes. In about 20 minutes your domain will be linked to your hosting account. Now you don’t have to deal with godaddy anymore for this domain.
IMPORTANT: If at any time the following instructions seem complicated to you, especially if you've never setup a website or blog before, I highly recommend you let my website team create your website for you, completely set up exactly outlined above. Click here for more details.
OK, back to manually setting up your blog yourself: Once you've waited at least 20 minutes, login to the hosting cpanel (yoursite.com/cpanel), and there will be a section called “Software/Services”. Click on “Fantastico Delux” Now on the next page on the left click “Wordpress”. Next choose “new installation”. Now choose your domain to install to in the drop down menu. (Note: For any future sites, in order for them to appear in this drop down menu, you will first need to go to the cpanel “home” screen and go down to the domains section and click “adddomain”. Then you can add the domain to your cpanel.)
Leave the directory field blank. Choose your username and password, email address, etc. Then click “install wordpress”. You now can go to your site and you will see that you have a basic wordpress blog installed on your site. Now go to yoursite.com/wp-admin or for example bringthefreshreviews.co.uk/wpadmin Log in using the username and password you selected a minute ago. Now you are in your site’s wordpress admin area. Scroll down and on the bottom left under the “settings” tab, click general. Edit your general settings to something like: Title: Bring the fresh reviews(your main keyword) Secrets Tagline: Bring The Fresh Reviews – A real review by a real user Compelling text is optimal here. Notice how my tagline entices Google searchers to click on my listing instead of others because it is more interesting/different. Do not simply have a title that says: “Welcome to My Site”. That is boring, it doesn't use your keyword, and no one will click on it. Save the changes. Now under the “settings” tab again on the bottom left, click on permalinks. Go to “custom structure” and enter the following: /%postname%/ This makes your future blog posts appear as: www. bringthefreshreviews.co.uk / bring-the-fresh-reviews Instead of the default which is bringthefreshreviews.co.uk /p=12345 Save changes. Next go to the “pages” tab on the left side of your wordpress admin. Here you can edit the “About” page and delete it. Next, go to the “settings” tab in your wordpress admin and click “privacy”. Make sure there is a checkmark next to “I would like my blog to be visible to everyone, including search engines (like Google, Sphere, Technorati) and archivers”. (I’ve forgotten this one a few times, and if you forget it, you’re screwed) Next go to the “appearance” tab on the left side of the wordpress admin. Click “add new themes”. Now you can search for any kind of theme you want, for a much better looking blog. Once you find one that looks good to you, click download/install. Search for "Cool Green" or "Comment Central" – these are a couple examples of themes I use frequently.
I can't stress enough how important is is for your site to look “clean”. People do not like messy sites, or those with a lot of links and banners. My current favourite theme is “Socrates”. It costs $35 to use on one site, or $77 to use on unlimited sites. Click the link above to check it out. It has lots of cool features that make it easier to setup than a free theme, and it was built with affiliate marketing in mind, so you can have ad banners that rotate, custom graphics/headers, and lots of other nice features that free themes don't have.
(Important note: In Socrates, I go to “widgets”, and replace the current widgets such as “Pages” with the following: “Recent Posts” (which I change to “Keyword Recent Posts”), Categories and Archives. I don't use the default “Pages” because I don't want linkjuice
leaving my homepage to inner pages. This is up to your preference though. If you are targeting a lot of keywords, using individual pages, you may want to leave the default. ----------------If you would rather use a free Wordpress theme, follow these instructions instead: Once you've chosen a theme, go back to the “appearance” tab and click “themes”. You will now see your current theme, and below it will say “available themes”. This is where the one you just picked will be located. Under it, click activate. Now go to your site (http:// bringthefreshreviews.co.uk ) and you will see it has the new theme installed and viewable to the public. Now click the back button to go back to your wordpress admin. Go the left menu and click on “Links”. Select Edit. Now place a check mark next to every one of the links listed here (except one) and click the drop down menu to select delete. With the one link you didn't delete, hover over it and select edit. Here you will change the name of the link to your keyword (bring the fresh reviews). And you will change the location of the URL to your affiliate link (selected later). For now, just make the URL your own homepage – http:// bringthefreshreviews.co.uk / Save/update changes.
Next we're going to add a “plug-in” to your site. It’s called the “Platinum SEO Plugin”. To get it, click on “Plugins” on your left navigation menu. Then click “Add new”. Now in the Search bar it says “Search for plugins by keyword, author, or tag.” Type in “Platinum SEO” and click “search plugins”. On the next page you will see it, and a link on the right that says “install”. Click it. On the next page click “Install Now”. Now back in your wordpress admin go to the left menu again and click “plugins”. You will see Platinum SEO listed. Beneath it, click “Activate”. Now on the left menu bar go all the way to the bottom and click the down arrow next to “settings”. You will see Platinum SEO listed there at the bottom. Click it. On the next page...
For “Home Title”, enter your main keyword. Here I entered “Bring the fresh Reviews”. For “Home Description”, enter a short description like “Bring the Fresh Review info”. For “Home Keywords”, enter your main keyword again. Mine again is “bring the fresh reviews”. Next make sure there is a checkmark next to “Canonical URLs”. Now scroll down and there are 7 options that begin with the word “nofollow”. I put a check mark next to all 7. I recommend making this change because we don't want the link juice being spread to other pages on your site, or to any external sites you link to. We want it all on your homepage, for SEO purposes. (link juice basically means the weight given to your site by getting links from other sites – I will show you how to get these backlinks in a minute) Now click “update options”.
Your site is now optimized with the correct “meta tags”. If you don't know what that
means, it's okay. This is what Google wants. Now back in Wordpress, go to the left navigation menu and click on “posts”. Hover your mouse over the “hello world” post and select edit. Now we are going to change a few things: Delete “Hello World” and enter the text “Welcome to bring the fresh reviews dot co dot uk” (your keyword and the dot com, net, or org spelled out) Now click edit next to the “permalink” below it and change it from “hello-world” to your keyword. Next for the post itself, you will need to put something like: “Kidney Diet information coming soon!” If you’ve had enough and want to by a readymade blog with FULL SEO I’m here to help Click Here Now on the right, where it says tags, add a tag of your keyword (ex: bring the fresh reviews). A little below tags you will see a section called categories. Uncheck “uncategorized”, and below that click “add new category”. Type in your keyword plus the word information. (ex: Bring the fresh reviews Information). Click “add”. Then on the top right of the page, click update. You now have your first post – its like bread crumbs for Google. Next go to the left menu and click “comments”. You will see a default comment there. Hover over it and click edit. Now change the name to your keyword plus guy or gal (ex: Bring the fresh reviews Information Guy). Make sure email and URL are blank. In the comment section, put something like: “Looking forward to your information on a Bring the fresh reviews (your keyword). Click save. Now let's add a compensation disclosure link to your site, so we're FTC compliant. Go to http://disclosurepolicy.org/generator/generate_policy Answer the 5 questions it asks you regarding how you will use your blog. When you're done, it will give you a policy you need to copy and paste on your site. So go ahead and highlight the policy it generates for you after you're done answering the questions. Next, right-click and select copy.
Go back to your wordpress admin and on the left menu, click on the down arrow next to “pages” and select “add new”. Here you will type in “Compensation Disclosure” as the title for the page in the top empty space, and in the main area below it, you will now right click and select “paste”. This will put your previously generated policy in place. Now go over to the right and click “publish”. You now have an FTC compliant compensation policy on your site.
IMPORTANT: If at any time the following instructions seem complicated to you, especially if you've never setup a website or blog before, I highly recommend you let my website team create your website for you, completely set up exactly outlined above. Click here for more details.
Now you should add 3 new posts to your blog over the next week or 2 and then you won't likely have to ever do anymore, unless you are going after really competitive keywords (in which case, new content is always a plus, as often as possible). You can either write the articles/posts yourself or pay someone to do it at Articlez, which has good American writers for $6-$8 per article. What I like to do for the first 2 articles/posts is write general info related to the keyword, about 400-500 words or so. For example if your keyword is “brother typewriters”, I would probably write one post about the history of brother typewriters, and then a second post with interesting facts or tips about brother typewriters. Maybe even a “top 10 list”.
TIP: Did you know that a good way to get backlinks to your site quickly is by writing a “top 10” list? For example, you could write a post about the “Top 10 things you never knew about brother typewriters”. Then refer people to it on Twitter, Facebook, etc. If it's interesting, people will naturally pass it around to each other, or retweet it. Anyway, so now for the 3rd post, which will be the one appearing at the top of your page. This will be our “money” post. The one that makes you money! Here I like to write a review of a product, such as a specific brother typewriter. However, with the new FTC laws in effect, instead of reviewing or pre-selling a product I’ve never used, what I like to do is write a “review of reviews”. What I mean is, I’ll look at 5 other good reviews about the product somewhere else (Amazon, Google, etc), and simply sum them up into my own words, along the lines of something like: “4 out of 5 customers stated that they absolutely loved this TV, but 2 of them were not so thrilled about the remote because it eats up batteries like crazy, blah blah blah”. Then expand on exactly what the customers said.
I like to create reviews of reviews that include pros and cons, with cons that aren’t really that bad. Something that’s not necessarily a deal-breaker, but makes the reader feel like you aren’t trying to “sell” them, and you are being honest in your review. People are smarter now when they read product reviews, so treat them as such, and respect them. I can’t stress enough how important this is. If you don’t want to write the review yourself, simply copy and paste the above paragraph to your writer at Articlez, and have them do it. They take instructions well. Once you have your articles, go to the posts section of your blog, and click on new. Add them as new posts, with your affiliate link at the end, making sure you put a
check mark next to the new category you created earlier, and then click “publish”. TIP: Give people EXACTLY what they are looking for IMMEDIATELY when they arrive at your page. Keep this in mind when you write your articles/posts. You only have about 5-10 seconds to capture their attention before they leave your page, uninterested. Put yourself in their shoes. If you were them, and you found your page, what would YOU want to see? What would you want to read? You want your visitors to know immediately that they have found the solution they have been looking for. Don't be a used car salesman and over-sell them either. Give them interesting information right away, gain a bit of trust, show them why you are an authority on the subject (perhaps you have insider info?) and then ease them into the product you want them to buy.
Your job is to be a matchmaker. You need to connect the person with the product they need. A great example from our friend Travis Sago is this: If you had a friend who was single, and you knew someone who would be a pretty good match for them, you wouldn't run up to them and say “Oh my gosh, go buy a wedding ring right now! Have I found the person for you!” Instead, you would ease them into it, and describe all of the reasons why you think they might be a good match, such as things they have in common, wants, needs, desires, etc. And you would suggest they go out on a date. Similarly, you can do the same with people visiting your website. You can describe the reasons why you think they would like blue widgets, and simply ask them to go see for themselves, and perhaps give it a try. After all what's the worst that could happen? If they aren't thrilled, they simply get a refund and move on... ----------------------OK, so here are an extra couple of tips regarding your affiliate links – which you will need to put into your posts in order to make money. The way you can enter an affiliate link into your post is by getting it from Amazon or Clickbank or whatever affiliate network you joined, like we spoke about earlier. In your post you can type something like “Check out Bring the fresh reviews here”. Then highlight that text with your mouse. Then you would click on the icon above the post section that looks like a chain link. A window will pop up and you can enter your affiliate link where it says url, then click insert. Your affiliate link is now somewhat cleverly disguised in your post. But here's the thing. When someone hovers over that link with their mouse, at the bottom left of the screen, the browser is going to show your ugly affiliate link. People don't like clicking on weird looking links. So let's fix that. Go to http://gopages.jvpress.com/
Here you will download the GoPages plugin. Once you've downloaded it, go to the “Plugins” section of your admin back in Wordpress, and click “add new”. Next you will select “upload”, and upload the same zip file you downloaded a moment ago. Now, back in your wordpress admin, go to the left menu again and click “plugins”. You will see the GoPages plugin listed. Beneath it, click “Activate”. Now look on the left hand menu and you will see a sub-menu for “JVPress GoPages”. Click “add new”. On the next page choose a title, such as “solution”. This will make the page you are
generating called yoursite.com/go/solution After you enter the title, go down to the section called “target url”, and enter in your affiliate link here. You can enter your keywords and description below that as well. Next click publish (on the top right). Now you can go back into your posts on your blog and change the affiliate link to yoursite.com/go/solution This makes the link look much better, and much more click-friendly. So what you would do is go to edit your post, but this time click the tab to the top right of your post that says HTML. Now above the text area, highlight the text that you want to convert into your nice new looking link. Then click the the blue word “link” in the menu just above the text area. In the window that pops up, enter your gopages url such as http://www.yoursite.net/go/solution and click ok. That's it. Your nice looking affiliate link is now in place.
Important: In your posts it is advantageous to use the proper “html tags”. What this means is, when you are in wordpress, switch to html view. Now if the title of your post is “My review of Blue widgets”, and blue widgets is the main keyword you are targeting, it would be advantageous to put the following “tags” around your title, like this: <H1>My Review of Blue Widgets</H1> H1 tells Google that this is your main title and contains the word MOST relevant to your post. Later in your post, you can also use h2 and h3 tags for subtitles or subsections of your article. For example, if you wanted to tell people how you use blue widgets, in the middle of the article you could put: <H2>I Use Blue Widgets For Many Reasons:</H2> And then you would list the reasons. Don't keyword spam! Google does not like it when you use your keyword too many times, or use lots of H1's and H2's with your keyword. Your keyword should only represent 1-4% of the total text of your article. Amazon:
If you are not an Amazon affiliate, go to https://affiliate-program.amazon.com to sign up (when applying just give them the url of your best looking site as your primary domain – and don't apply until your site is set up and has a few posts on it). Amazon is great for selling physical items such as electronics, clothing, furniture, etc. Once you're approved, you can log into your Amazon account and get links to any product you want to promote. Log in and click on the tab at the top that says “links & banners”. Now on the left, select “product links”.
As an example let's say we are promoting the DVD “Toy Story 2”. On the next page, in the search bar we would type “toy story 2 dvd” and click “go”. You will now see the DVD with a button to the right that says “get link”. Click it.
On the next page, in section 1 select “text only”. Ignore section 2. In section 3, you will see a piece of code like this: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0030IIYYS? ie=UTF8&tag=hdtvreco20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B0030IIYYS">Toy Story 2: Special Edition - DVD</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir? t=hdtvreco-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B0030IIYYS" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" /> Click the button that says “highlight HTML”. Now right click on the highlighted text and select “copy”. Now you would go back into your wordpress admin, and edit the posts you added previously, and you would paste this code where you want the link to appear. Now you have an affiliate link on your site. If anyone clicks it and buys the DVD, you will get a commission.
Clickbank If you are not a Clickbank affiiliate, to sign up go to: http://www.clickbank.com/promote_products.html – Clickbank is great for selling digital products, such as ebooks or memberships. Once you've signed up as an affiliate, you can go to http://www.clickbank.com/marketplace.htm and browse their catalogue of products. Once you find one you'd like to promote, you will click the link next to it that says “promote”. On the next page, enter your account nickname (that you signed up with) and click “create”. Clickbank will then display your affiliate link, which you can add to your site just like the instructions above for Amazon. Adsense If you're not a Google Adsense Affiliate, go to http://adsense.google.com (again, the same rules apply as above). Adsense lets you have ads on your site that you get paid for if anyone clicks on them. They give you a paragraph of code that you can copy and paste in between paragraphs of your blog posts – at least that's what I do.
Backlinks:
Now it’s time to get a few backlinks back to your site. Backlinks are any link from any website that links back to yours. It is optimal to have the text of the link contain your main keyword or a version of it. For example, if my site was about blue widgets, I would prefer most sites linking back to me to use the phrase “blue widgets” in the link. However, it is also advantageous to not have ALL of your backlinks saying “blue widgets”, as this could look spammy at some point. Things would look more natural if some of your backlinks had variations such as “best blue widgets”, or the name of your site. But the majority should use your main keyword. The backlinking process below has worked for authority sites of mine, as well as simple 2 page wordpress sites. I use and recommend the following tools for backlinks (some cost money): 1.
