More On Avoiding (Or Overcoming) Google Slaps In 2012

30 Comments
By admin

There are few things more frustrating than working hard on your affiliate site for a couple of months only to see it suddenly disappear in the search engines seemingly overnight. Maybe telemarketing calls during dinner are more frustrating. But it’s up for debate.

I wrote a post last year trying to educate people on what exactly is going on when your site gets (or seemingly gets) a penalty in the search engines and what you can do about it. But with changes in the search engines even since then, and new results coming to light, it’s become necessary for me to expand on that.

I’m going to touch on how to avoid ever getting such a penalty in the first place (stuff we ALL need to know) and then how to come back from a slapping if you’ve had one.

But first we need to be reminded of the basics… Read More

Ok, friend, here it is. This is how I think anyone reading, can go from $0 to $100 a day in affiliate/ad income with almost no work and but a minor investment in 2012.

Is this a plan for income overnight? No. This is a 12 month plan. It’s a plan for anyone who can put their entrepreneurial ADD on hold long enough to focus on one thing for an entire year (you know… the way real business people do). This is a plan to generate a lasting income from a solid business; A plan to reach $100 a day initially, and push from there to $1000 a day and beyond.

This is not a “new” concept either. It’s just a smart one. You ready? Here goes…

(Note: If you were able to buy one of our Unstoppable Authority Sites last week, you can implement this on them. If you didn’t, you can build a new site for them, no worries at all.) Read More

Big Sites Vs Little Sites & The Future Of Search Affiliate Marketing

In Unstoppable Affiliate we taught two strategies for two kinds of sites: Single product sites (exact match domain style) and multi product sites (that promote various offers in one niche in one domain name). We talked about the pros and cons of each style of site and discussed why it’s good to have both type of site in your affiliate arsenal.

In this post I’m going to give you some additional points to consider on this matter, and tell you about one of the ways we’re going to be changing our own spread of sites in the coming year.

To distill our discussion on the two types of sites (for anyone who didn’t get UA) we basically said that smaller sites on exact match domains carry the advantage of being able to rank faster, for better short term income prospects, while bigger sites had greater long term profit potential, with the advantage that you can keep expanding by promoting new products from a base (a domain name) that’s growing in authority with each new product promoted.

But with the way the search engines have changed this year – even since we released UA – this picture keeps getting more and more complicated.

Basically, while right now, and for a long time, we’ve had a portfolio of sites fairly mixed between these two, both us, and a number of other SEO affiliate experts I know are gradually (and quietly) leaning slightly more from one type of site to the other: That is, toward bigger sites. Read More

Case Study: How “New” Factors Effect Your Rankings

57 Comments
By admin

Ever since Panda, most good SEOs have been drawing people’s attention to a few factors that according to the new algorithm changes, have greater importance as ranking factors now. Two of those are bounce rates, and time on site.

If you missed all that talk, we’ve basically said that now, Google is looking more and more at how people interact with your website in order to determine it’s quality or lack thereof. So Google wants to see how long visitors are spending on your site (longer indicating greater quality than shorter) and at what rate people “bounce” from your site, leaving it for an outbound link or hitting *back* on their browser to return to the search results.

Google cares more about that stuff now. But how much do they really care? An accidental case study we did recently gave us an insight… Read More
