Best Affiliate Niche Blog

You may have already received messages about this new keyword generator tool, but maybe not. I’m on the list of almost every big name guru marketer out there and only received ONE email about this. My guess is that you’ll start to get their marketing emails in about a month, after they’ve taken all of the good Niche Keywords and used them to make massive profits, leaving you with the leftovers.

However, as I am still sort of a small fry in this business, I want to see others succeed, not just those who are already rich! So that’s why I think the fact that they are hiding the best keyword tool availble from us is a great disappointment in putting my trust in them.

So, what are they hiding? Only one of the best keyword research tools to hit the market today! I use Keyword Elite, and KeywordSpy, and Keyword Discovery, and the Google Keyword tool, and they basically all do the same thing. You have to know what Niche you are going to market, and then you do research to find the long-tail keywords in that Niche.

But this keyword generator tool is amazing in that it brings the niche to you! It’s not really a keyword generator tool, it’s more like a Profitable Niche Finding Tool!

It’s different because you don’t need to start with a root keyword. This means you don’t need to worry about identifying any niche to start with. You simply enter the search criteria. For example, if you want to find something with ‘monthly searches’ to a minimum of 40,000 AND ‘competing pages’ to a maximum of 20,000, simply enter the criteria and the server-based software will search all keywords in their ever-expanding database that fit your criteria, usually in seconds. It would show keywords every niche, that you can pick and choose from.

In other words, you enter your search criteria, and let the KEYWORDS (and the Niches) FIND YOU!

If you’ve read any of the books like George Browns Google Sniper, which I love, you already know what criteria to look for that will make sure your website is a profit maker. Now, this unmatched intelligent keyword generator tool can be used for Adsense, Niche Marketing, Affiliate Marketing, PPC, CPA, Blogging, and most importantly, identifying sources of untapped traffic! The possibilities are endless!

I’m just so excited that I was finally introduced to this! I’ve been struggling with the other keyword research tools to find the best keyword tool, but now I’ve found it. Now I can finally quickly build an instantly profitable web site around a practically proven keyword. This is definitely changing the game!

Here’s the only keyword research tool you will ever need!

NOTE: I have been told the tool has maximum capacity of people who can use it, so hopefully they don’t shut it down before you have a chance to get it.

You might wonder what the difference is between Private Label Rights eBooks and basic product resell rights. With product resell rights, a person obtains the right to resell the product AS IS, without changing its form, design or name. On the other hand, if you have a Private Label Rights eBook, you gain the right to modify or change an original product, create your own specifications and apply modifications then claim it as your own original product. But one better option is Brandable Private Label rights eBooks.

E-books, software, articles and other written, raw materials are just some examples of products where you can obtain Private Label Rights.

There are also Brandable PLR eBooks. And, while you can’t change the content in these eBooks, the author usually allows you to brand the eBook with your company name, and also brand the affiliate links inside the eBook with YOUR affiliate links. The branding tool is given to you along with the Brandable Private Label Rights eBook, and it’s a very easy process to get your links and website name branded into the book. You can find Brandable PLR eBooks for some of the most popular niche products at www.BrandablePLR.com .

Along with the Brandable PLR ebooks, you’ll also find a huge collection of PLR eBooks with Resale rights and/or Master resale rights.

These PLR eBooks are very inexpensive, so it’s worth taking a look to see if there’s one available in your niche. It’s often good to use a Brandable resell eBooks because YOU are the one making the money from the first sale, as well as future affiliate profits! Give your branded resell ebooks away, and soon you may find that you have a viral eBook that’s making profits for you daily! Find Brandable Private Label Rights eBooks here!

When deciding what to concentrate on in their affiliate marketing endeavors, some affiliates decide that it’s best to concentrate on two tier affiliate marketing. But there are a few reasons that this isn’t the best path to follow.

Two tier affiliate marketing basically means that you find Merchants who offer commissions not only on your sales, but on the sales of everyone who signs up under you. Then you can either concentrate on:

1) selling the merchant’s products for full commission, OR

2) finding other affiliates to sell the merchants products and collecting a small referral fee from those affiliates.

In my opinion, it’s not wise to JUST concentrate on finding other affiliates to market the product. Why? Because the commission is much smaller, and a lot of the affiliates you find may never make a sale.

It’s a better option to market the PRODUCT for a merchant that has a two-tier affiliate marketing program, and then if someone is interested in the product, they will click on your link.

They will also click on it if they are thinking about selling that product, and find your information while they’re doing their research. They will end up on the merchant’s site through your link, and look for the Affiliate link. You still get credit for the referral, and the 2nd tier commissions.

It’s really up to you, and what you want to concentrate your efforts on. The one thing I can do though, is tell you about two of the best two tier affiliate marketing merchants that I have found. They are:

=> MarketHealth (Health & Fitness niche)
=> MyHelpHub (Self-Help niche)

Whatever you decide, there IS money to be made – so test both ways with your niche. Most likely you will find whatever works best in just a short time.

I’m starting to get tired of paying Google for every sale I make. It seems like I work my butt off to make a few sales, and for every two I make, Google gets the income from one in the form of their Advertising Expense.

But unfortunately, search engines rule the Internet and have a lot of control over how well or how poorly an affiliate promotion does. You either pay Google, or you learn how to overtake them.

Millions of people are surfing the Internet and using the search engines to find the ‘stuff’ they want or need. And as an affiliate, you need to be where they are looking.

Some affiliate marketers recommend using MSN or Yahoo! instead.  I have tried this, but the traffic just isn’t there in some cases.  After all, have you ever heard someone say “Yahoo! it?  Nope, if people are looking for something, they always Google it!

That’s why Search engine optimization (SEO) is key to our very survival; if they don’t find our recommended products in their search results, we don’t have a prayer of making them into our customers.

The key to search engine optimization is the use of key words and phrases in the content on your websites. If you use them wisely and to your best advantage you get listed in the results when people use your key words in their searches. If you use them poorly, you won’t be found.

Another key in affiliate marketing is to select keywords with LOWER searches per month, and LOWER competition.  If you’re a beginner and you go after a niche like Dog Training, you don’t have a chance (sorry).

Also, make sure your key words and phrases are in the title of your home page, and more than just once. They need to be included in our Meta tags, as well.

The density (how many times you use the keyword) needs to be between five and seven percent. If you use less, you won’t be listed and if you use more, you will be seen by the search engines as spamming.

It really is a fine line and the rules are always changing.  Basically, in any article I write for my site, or for article marketing, I make sure the keyword is in the title (for sure!), and in the opening paragraph.  Then a few more times sprinkled throughout the text, and again, for sure in the closing paragraph.

Use variations of your keywords on every page of a website for best results, and do some internal linking by using footers and side bar categories.

Get used to doing this when you are first starting, and as it becomes a natural way to build a site, you will also find yourself in the natural SEO results.

The very best book I’ve read, and use – on how to get to the first page SEO Google listings is Google Sniper.
“Voted The Simplest Way To Make $10,000+ A Month Online:

Oops, one more thing – If you need Banners and/or Graphics for your site, there’s a REALLY GOOD Deal going on by the makers of XSite Pro. $37 for 5,000 Headers is an insane deal. Much better than paying a freelancer $25 per banner.

I just had a great thought the other day as I was reading through a training manual on PPC marketing. It seems like every guru suggests that you start with ClickBank when looking for affiliate products to sell. ClickBank is great because they offer mostly downloadable products, and when you sell them you get paid almost immediately (well, actually once a week). But there’s more to ClickBank than JUST finding Affiliate Marketing products to sell. . .

The trainer went on to say that ClickBank products are very competitive because there are a lot of affiliate marketers looking to market new items.

Hum, ClickBank products are competitive – and there’s where I started thinking. . .

If so many people are marketing the products that are on ClickBank, then why wouldn’t you get busy and put a book out there so all those affiliate marketers have something to sell? They are all gravitating to CB – looking for things in their niche. If you were to put a book on CB, you probably wouldn’t even have to contact any JV partners – they are ALREADY looking there!

If you need book writing help, check out the 10 Day EBook Writing Plan.

And remember, you can also sell your book yourself – and keep ALL the profits. Or, do a little more work and find those JV partners – affiliate marketers are always looking for something new to sell.

I’ve actually decided to write a book on Flower Gardening. I have a LOT of PLR in my computer on gardening, so I’m compiling it all into a 100 page book, and will have it on CB very soon.

Do you have any PLR in your computer that’s just sitting there – NOT making you any money? If you need some cheap PLR, click here for Brandable PLR EBooks.

I just had to share my thought(s) on this subject. I’ll let you know how it goes with the Flower Gardening book. Maybe I’ll make it into a Case Study and show you exactly how a small book can make lots of money.

There’s a new web site analysis tool available at:
http://www.woorank.com/  and best of all, it’s FREE! It scans your site and gives you a report on what you’re doing right and wrong.  It also gives you a score.  I’ve been trying my hardest to properly code things up on this affiliate marketing site, but found out that I very seldom use:

H1 headings! I guess I”ll have to research more about where those come from on a WordPress Blog. 

I’ll also have to install the “All in one SEO Pack”  plugin for WordPress because it looks like I’ve missed putting in a few Meta Descriptions and keywords tags.  Imagine that!  I’ve been in Affiliate Marketing for over three years and don’t have my meta description filled in? YIKKES!

Find out what you might be missing.  It’s free right now in the Beta stage, but you never know.  It seems like it might become a popular affiliate marketing SEO tool quickly, so check out the woorank at the link above.

I’m reading affiliate marketing news all the time. But there are some things I can’t believe I miss – until some Guru comes out selling a big secret to making ads appear in Gmail that he’s just discovered and will share it with everyone else for a small fee ($97.00).  So this one’s on me – don’t stop reading, and keep your $97.00.

It’s easy to make your google content ad appear in Gmail. These are the ads that you see in your gmail in-box. It’s called the Google CONTENT Network!  Big secret huh!

Google released this information on July 1, 2009

“Get on Top of Gmail with Placement Targeting

“Your clients can target the Gmail Top of Inbox with text ads. This is the small section above the inbox which displays ads, news stories and other relevant links. To do so, simply create an ad group using placements and find “mail.google.com, Inbox Top Center” in the placement tool.
Note:  Gmail will continue to only support text ads and you will only be able to target the inbox view and not the conversation views. Conversation views will still only be available through contextual targeting.”

Like I said, I can’t believe I missed that big “secret” to making ads appear in gmail.

In the past, I haven’t targeted the content network because I thought it might be too expensive.  But then again, like I said, I never really thought about how to make ads appear in gmail accounts.  If you write a VERY targeted ad, taking into consideration what people might be talking about – or complaining about, etc. You just might find your ad in the box right beside their conversation, or better yet, at the top of their inbox.

For example, maybe two guys are discussing the fact that they want to make Hip Hop Music at home.  They discuss how neat it would be to have music production software that they could use at home while drinking beer and eating popcorn.

Meanwhile, behind the scenes you already have a web site targeting people who want to – you guessed it – Make Hip Hop Music at home, and you’ve got some ads running on the Google content network.  By adding the mail.google.com target to your campaign, your ads might now display when they mention your keywords!

They are having a relevant conversation, and because you are using the Content Network and either targeting 1) make hip hop music at home, or 2) music production software, your ad is displayed. If they haven’t been drinking for too long, maybe they’ll click on it and buy this cool product – and just maybe – you’ll be the one who gets the commission for a change!

I’ve been looking for some good Niche Marketing predictions for 2010 -and will keep looking for what specific niches will be popular in the coming year.  However, I did find this post by Perry Marshall and it has some good insight on what could be going on in the  Affiliate Marketing industry in 2010. Here’s my favorite:

I’ve been reading a lot of Affiliate Marketing products lately and the emphasis of most of them has been on getting backlinks. Currently I write and submit articles to Ezine articles, and a few other article directories, so I figured that was enough to get a backlinks from high PR sites. But I guess not.

On a recent holiday promotion I was doing I got a little ticked off.  I was using PPC and it seemed like I spent $110.00 to make $100 in sales.  If you do the math on that one, I definitely was NOT making any money.  I would be up in sales, but the next day, no sales, and Google got all my money (notice how they always get paid!)

So I decided to use one of the backlinking methods mentioned in a recent Affiliate Marketing training book. I built a Squidoo site that was based on my original site name.  I made a nice site, added my affiliate links – and a link back to my original site.

Than I paused my PPC campaign.

And the next day I made sales that equaled about $100 in profits – and guess what, I got to keep it!  And I continue to get to keep my affiliate profits!

Making a Squidoo site is really easy to do – and it’s free!  I actually think its fun.  I’ve made them before, and in this case it took me about an hour to get my site set up (mostly because I had to re-write four product reviews).  If you’re not familiar (or scared) of trying to set up a site on your own, there’s an excellent  training resource available on how to Squidoo at a reasonable price.

But Squidoo has a lot of information available on their site and basically walks you through the process when you sign up.  So if you’re not afraid to test things out (you really can’t break anything there), just go to their site and start building! 

And remember, if you build a site based on a niche that you’re already marketing in, add that web link to your Squidoo site, or add your RSS feed there and you’ll get a good backlink.

I highly recommend this as one more step in a high-quality campaign.  It may not work like it did for me every time, but if you have a good product; you definitely should be doing some Squidoo Marketing. Find out more by checking out Squidoo today!

Sometimes at the end of the year I go into information mode.  I’m not really sure what it is. Perhaps it’s just to get closer to my goals, or maybe I need a few more business write offs, or maybe I’m just plain sick of Google Adwords taking three fourths of my money and/or leaving me high and dry!   Whatever the reason, probably the latter, this month I purchased two programs that had nothing to do with PPC with the hope that I could make/keep a little more money next year.

The first product was Aggressive Wealth Secrets.  I have to say they have one of the best sales letters I’ve read; I was salivating at the end of it.  And then I found out that it was only $7.00 – I’m in!  Then came the upsell, the downsell, neither of which I bought.  Well, after all that, I wasn’t really in.  You see, the $7.00 only bought me the organization software – which would be good if I was unorganized, I’m VERY organized.  It was actually the UPSELL that was referenced in the sales letter! 

This is a sales tactic that I have not seen before.  An entire sales letter mostly devoted (underhandly) to the upsell? I was very confused and disappointed as I entered the Membership area only to find I had purchased a monthly subscription to some software, and those wealth secrets were nowhere to be found.

I had almost sworn off purchasing anything else this year when I read the Google Sniper sales letter.  Again, I was salivating.  It was all about Web 2.0 and other ways to get your site noticed by the search engines.  Again, no mention of the dreaded PPC.  So, I almost timidly pressed the order now button, and this time I WAS IN!

There was a giant manual, a work flow tree, videos, everything there should be!  And it’s all easy to do. In fact, I’m doing most of it now, but there are a few things I’m leaving out, or doing backwards.  It pays to have the correct information from the Guru. 

So if you’re looking for that ONE product that will tell you everything you need to know about affiliate marketing – without it being all about expensive PPC Ads, then Google Sniper is your key!
