What’s The Product Review Sites Method?
The Product Review Sites Approach To Affiliate Marketing
Affiliate marketing is among the best way to earn online owing to the less risk involved and minimal start-up costs. You basically, sell other peoples’ products for a percentage of the sale price.
The big players like EBay, Amazon etc. may pay out a tiny 5% but other companies pay a huge 75%+. These products include software, scripts, eBooks or even medicines.
Do they say, “They’re many ways to skin a cow?” Well, that same principle applies here. Affiliate marketing can be done in many ways i.e. the methods one needs to apply to get people to see their offering and be satisfied from what they’ve seen to hit that buy button there and then.
It is a fact that many affiliates never make as much money as they dream or as was promised by the recent eBook they read. This depends on many factors that we may cover later on but the list may seem endless.
The main point you need to grasp here is that you MUST target people who are looking to buy or interested in your product or service otherwise, all you’ll get are site hits counter values to show for your marketing efforts and little by way of real monetary earnings.
So, How Do Your Target Buyers?
- The best approach that I can think of is via good keyword research – cough, cough
Yeah, there’s some element of research involved but this is never as complicated as many make out and once you know the workings of the research, you simply apply the same principle to any niche you enter.
We’ve actually gone a head and did it all for you here
- Okay, you have your keywords now you find the product that you can market in line with those niche keywords you just found.
- Do some basic research into the product and read up on what others are saying about it and the seller of the said product.
- Setup a review site for that product and drive traffic to it.
If you did your keyword research correctly, you’ll be getting some free rankings and traffic from the search engines like Google, Yahoo, Bing etc Try and work with a product name keyword for your domain name and the review site’s content pages. Dedicate a page to each related keyword you found. Oh, be careful about the copy rights as some companies may ask you to take down your site though rare.
Build links via blog comments, trackbacks, bookmarking sites, social sites, your other online properties, article directories etc and link to all pages not just the home page – but you knew that already
People are most likely to buy from review sites than stand alone sites based on the fact that at that very moment they’ve been sold by the positive feedback they’ve seen on that site. Avoid having more than 3 products on the same site. Just compare 3 products as a maximum per site though you may have other affiliated links for visitors to follow should they chose to.
The idea is that you setup your review site to attract site visitors and urge them to taking that credit card action, after informing them about the product they already know they want to buy – Pre-selling.
You can use many platforms out there for your sites but we personally use WordPress customised blog sites which are great for driving traffic to the corresponding product review sites. You can see our sample Complete Niche Blog & Review Sites here.
Online business is a numbers game most times. So having several sites with each bringing in a little $ here and there does amount to a lot of $s by the end of the month. So, keep building your portfolio until you hit the figure you need. Don’t do it blindly, if something in not working, test, tweak and get back to it BUT that doesn’t mean you should hop from opportunity to another either.

Affiliate Marketing – Still Struggling To Make Money Online?
This Affiliate System Has Already Been Set-up & Is Ready To Rock For You!
People always ask, “How can I make money online?” My answer based on the fact that I realise this is a new person coming into online marketing includes about 5 points.
- Knowledge – Learn from those doing what you want to do and swipe it. Educate yourself basically.
- Set Goals – Be realistic. Don’t I was to be a millionaire. Say I’d like to earn $50 every month in a months time. Of course this is not retirement money buy a great learning experience and focal point.
- Stop Buying Stuff – Okay every week there are product launches and great sales copies to go with them. I can’t even tell you how many emails I get daily in my mailing list email address but I cant keep up. They all promise gold and riches and yet more great stuff DAILY! Put the stuff you already have to use and give it time to work before jumping onto the next new widget of the week.
- Take Action – This is a biggy. Its easy to visualize what you want then as soon as you start you start procrastinating because of TV, Forum browsing or Partying. Stay focused and push on until you meet your target goal. I am not saying don’t have time out to play because you should always allow for that to prevent burn out.
- The Quickest Way To $s – Affiliate Marketing. If I want to get $100 I look for a hot product for those still buying and stick it in their red smiley faces. Thanks guys
Okay so, why am I writing this post?
This guy emailed me the other day with an offer. I delete a lot of these and almost never bother to promote most either. I’ve seen most offers at one time or another though may be in a diffrent package.
Any way, I read the text in the message and curious I checked out the offer. I personally feel this guy’s product has a lot of substance for those who get involved to make some quick money online quickly and leave it running on auto pilot. Some people are saying its Incredible News or crazy offer but I wont bother with all those shock words. You don’t need them to make up your own mind. In fact I won’t even disclose the Affiliate Ready Made Cash offer as it’s too little its embarassing. You check it out and make up your mind or understand the points mentioned above as the ones needed to get started right.
Its a time limited deal as many gone before from this marketer but I think its one you should try out if you want to finally get your feet wet and get some Affiliate Marketing Cash like many are doing. We have got a set of these and going to fire them up pronto for those smiley guys mentioned above
See this 100% Commission product that dumps money in your paypal account INSTANTLY. This is great BUT to be honest, I feel it’s the ongoing income potential and abbility for you to set up these “bad boys” as and when you want in any niche that makes this Affiliate Income offer amazing.
I advise you get in early – You’ll know why when you get to the offer site.

Get More Buyers – Michael Rasmussen Helps You Stop Trying To Flog Meat To Vegetarians
Get More Buyers launching on Tuesday 28th October 2008 9am PST helps you get effective with your email marketing – Get More Buyers Review
Let’s explore a little more about wasted energy and how you can stop spending all your precious time trying to get blood out of a stone, when you could just as well go straight to the main jugular and let it pour.
Okay, okay that’s a bit gruesome BUT I hope you see where I am going with this.
The fact is, as you know, time is money – literally. If you’re wasting your time trying to sell products to an email list of subscribers that don’t give a damn about what you have to say, or worse still don’t ever intend to buy anything now or in the future, then you need to STOP!
There comes a point when all your hard work and planning becomes too much to throw down the pan by letting your email promos fly over people’s uninterested heads.
There comes a time when you have to stand up to this time and energy wasting madness and shout “ENOUGH NO MORE!”.
If you’re trying to sell to people who are not buying and will never buy, no matter how good your mail shots and no matter how good the product is, then you might as well be trying to sell some meat to a vegetarian.
You and I know they’ll never buy it, no matter how fresh the meat and no matter how well they know Joe the butcher.
So my advice is instead of switching over to fruit and vegetables, just let the vegetarians go and settle somewhere else, whilst you attract a huge audience of hungry meat eaters who are self confessed “meataholics”. Well, a little like me
Okay, I think that’s enough chat of the meat and blood metaphors for one day.
What I am trying to say here is quite simple.
If you want an easier time selling to a whole bunch of people via email, then you need to build a list full of people who:
1. Want the types of products you are selling
2. Are proven to actually buy similar products in the past
3. Are responsive to such offers
When your mailing list subscribers have these qualities, you know it’s going be a whole lot easier to get them to buy your products for years to come.
That’s what email marketing guru, Michael Rasmussen, knows all too well. Michael knows the difference between selling via email and trying to flog meat to vegetarians. He also knows exactly how to find the rabit meat eaters at little to no cost, with no upfront advertising costsin most cases.
He has 10 video strategies that will show you exactly how to find tons of people that have the three qualities above, and will allow you to make seriously easy conversions from your email list members simply by offering them what they actually WANT.
So, no more wasting your energy selling to the wrong crowd.
Check out Michael Rasmussen’s new course that shows you the inside strategies to email marketing success.
We’ve had the opportunity to look at what’s on offer and prepared a review of Michael Rasmussen’s Get More Buyers for you here.
Commission Blueprint – Profitable Campaigns For Unstoppable Affiliate Commissions
Hi, It’s William again and this time I am asking you a question:
Do you get tired of trying to find traffic for your affiliate offers or products?
Because I am a smart guy, I know your answer is “YES”
Actually I’m just guessing the answer was “yes”, because that seems to be the #1 problem marketers face, especially those of us who only promote other people’s products as affiliates.
The thing is, traffic is all around us and can be tapped into within a heartbeat.
You can either write articles (which takes a good dose of finger crunching and constant maintenance) or you can just cut straight to the gravy train of Google Adwords.
Now, you’re probably thinking:
“But Adwords is expensive” or “I don’t have a clue how to…”
And I hear you.
I really do and we’ve all responded like that in the past and I know exactly where you’re coming from.
- However, what if it truly didn’t have to be that way?
- What if you COULD get cheaper clicks and make more sales?
- Would you at least agree that traffic is no longer going to be a problem for you?
If you can’t wait any longer, click over to Commission Blueprint Review to see why I know for a fact that Commission Blueprint can solve your problems…
Let me put it this way; If you can see the light, then you’ve probably jumped right past one of the biggest hurdles online: Getting traffic.
And let me tell you, it gets a lot easier once you build momentum and start making money from one rofitable campaign…
Why?
Because you can literally take all of your profits from one campaign and start putting that into the next niche you want to test, so it’s as good as free money to test the waters any time you want
I’d like to tell you more about using PPC and promoting the right products from the outset I figure you’ve had enough reading for one day. Okay the honest answer is I am tired of typing
Look out for my next post which will put you on the right track and allow you to do all of this wonderful “set yourself f.ree” internet marketing stuff the easy way…

Site Traffic – How You Can Generate Traffic To Your Site
Posted by William & Susan on April 11, 2009 · 7 Comments
Free Site Traffic Generation
Site traffic generation is difficult to discuss with out talking about Search Engine Optimization (SEO) so, I may rant about SEO through this post but will try to keep it to a minimum as that’s another topic in its own right. But you can read more about on-page search engine optimisation in our other post here
Warning!
This might end up being a very long post but I am just typing stuff as they come to me based on what we tend to do when we decide to generate traffic to our sites. We may not use all the methods on every site we promote every time but we’ve used and use them as and when we snap out of procrastination
Also, note that there may be other methods not covered here but these should be good enough to see you genereting that much needed site traffic.
Most of these can be done for you through out sourcing or you can get the “paid for traffic” as many do but although I may hint on that kind of traffic, our main traffic generation is free andbased on SEO as well as positioning. By positioning I mean presenting our offers in front of those that may be interested.
Oh!
Feel free to point out any typos you see in this post because I’ll sure not review it for correct tense or sentence construction – Its my Easter break. There’s a good excuse
Word Of Mouth – Referals:
Use your contacts to spread word about your online business whenever possible. Your friends have their own contacts and most might even do a bit of blogging too so it helps for them to know about your venture.
This of course for when you’re out at a party or any other social gathering. Talk about your internet marketing to people you never know who may be interested in any way eother to promote, to joint venture or even spread the word for you.
Article Marketing:
Publish articles in article directories and ezines about your niche. Always have a great descriptive resource box with a keyword rich anchor text to your niche offering. Not all article directories perform the same but they most likely all help you build more links to your site (off-page seo) whic is a good thing. It helps to track where your traffic is coming from so you can best assess what promotional method, resource box, headline, article length & content etc is more responsive. You can use google analytics or and detailed results site-hits-counter both free.
You can also use ezine marketing by submiting classified ads (paid for adverts) The response tends to be good as the ezine is usually only ever gets distributed to those interested in its niche. So, you’ll be tartgeting prospects who have already shown as interest in your market offering.
Clasified ads can also be placed in Craigslist, US Free Ads, The Yellow Pages and MySpace Classifieds among others.
Video Marketing:
The quality, topic, lenght (10mins max for youtube) title and location of your video are important factors in how much traffic it’ll generate to your site. It all starts with a good quality video camera in a nicely lit place if recording yourself and not a screen capture. Be normal in your message delivery unless you’re acting of course – I once saw a clown video that was really funny actually. Don’t hype what you’re talking about just state the facts as best as you can to inform those viewing the video. Be human and offer value in your message or promise value with your recommendation – fill a need or build desire. Say what you’d like the viewer to do at the end of the video. You can mention it at the start and the end or just at the end. This should also be stated in the text by the video – your video description which should contain a keyword rich link to your site.
The title of the video should relate to what the video contains and the category in which its been placed or submitted. Nothing puts off a person who has read one title only to find that what’s being offered are online drugs
Use your well researched keywords as your video tags and insert one or two in your video title. Have your site’s URL in the video. Some put this at the end of the video but we some times put it in the video as a watermark so its visible through out. Don’t hide the control buttons if you have that ability. Many gurus are doing that these days on their promotional videos but because I am time bad most times, if I give that video 5 minutes and it’s still rolling, I just close the browser. Its just frustrating to make me feel forced to watch it to the end with out having any control – but that’s just me
You can use MetaCafe, MySpace, YouTube but there are many more online video sites. The more you spread the word the better for your sites both in backlinks and eye balls. Community sites are great too so go out and test those too but don’t try mmore than one as you might not be able to keep up or dedicate enough time to the community you’ve buit.
Content Publishing Formats:
We’ve talked about a few above but to get more eye balls (and links), you need to further your reach.
Publish your content on or as Articles, Audios, Videos, PDFs, Blogs, Standard pages, Squidoo, Hub Pages, Facebook, software, seminar, webinar, rss etc.
The more forms you make your content available, the wider the audiance you’ll reach hence more traffic. With Google now reading the words in your pod casts, this will help confirm your site’s specific niche. This will also guarantee very fast indenxing. This post is going to be in the Google index in about 10 minutes max and that happens with all the posts here. That’s key to product launches or affiliate marketing because then searchers can find you right away instead of waiting for days to get indexed.
Organic Search Engine Traffic:
This one is mainly based on your SEO which includes all the above (off page seo) and the good old onpage search engine optimization.
Dont spend eternity looking for the perfect keywords for your niche just get the best 20 keywords you have, group them into 4 and target those 4 individually in your articles. As you find more seemingly profitable keywords, build content around them and in time, you’ll rank for most of those keywords. With site hits tracking, you’ll know which ones the search engines believe to be more relevant to your site and you should continue to build more content around those ones.
Remember not to keyword spam but use these keywords in a more human and natural way through out your site. Place them in the title of your webpage(s), meta-description, meta-keywords, name of your article, body of your article, the resource box of your article and these should also be used in as the anchor text to your article. Link directly to the article and also to the home page with different but related keywords. You remember we said to pick 4 – right?
Okay, those 4 would only give you 5 articles but then you can mix them again and generate another 4 articels. You could no doubt start adding other keywords taken from your site hits counter logs.
Blog Commenting:
Comments on other blogs helps generate you free traffic and a backlink or trackback too. The best blogs to comment on are obviously the ones with a high page rank and have a DOFOLLOW tag so you get as much link juice as possible. These pass pagerank basically – A good thing
The best approach is to comment on blogs within your niche and use your keyword as your name with your site URL of course so your name (keyword now) will link back to your site with your preffered on topic anchor text. Note that some blogs dont allow this so look at previous commentors’ names to verify its okay or your comment will be deleted – Oops!
Please, please help yourself by not appearing like a useless comment spammer. Comment sense. It’s really frustrating for one to write a post they feel is fit to publish only to find that someone has come along and commented “Nice post!” with a nicely themed backlink to their site
That comment offers nothing of value to the blog and its visitors hence will only server to waste the blog owners’ time and frustrate them that much more. Needless to say, it’ll be deleted and show you in bad light to the blog owner – Phew!
Okay, blog comments should add value or at least look to build on what has already been said. You can also ask a question relating to the topic being discussed. If it makes sense, your posts will be accepted every time and you might even form a good relationship with the blog owner.
There have been cases where blog owners have guest bloggers, review your blog and comment about it, or even joint venture with you on your product or theirs as you’re both in the same market.
To ease your search for relevant blogs with good page rank and the dofollow tag, you can use our free blogsearch tool.
If you find a blog that fits your niche, then sign up for their feed so you can get updates when they publish a post. The point is for you to be first to comment. When you do this, most of the other commenters after you will see and read your comment. If it makes sense and you seem like one who has something to say, they’ll visit your site to sniff around.
Video Commenting:
Comment on videos posted by others on video sites. Again, dont forget that link and offer value and relevance. Same principle as blog commenting.
Google Images:
This is one area that very few utilize but comments to these and also submiting your own nicely categorised and tagged images generates good backlinks and traffic.
Affiliate Marketing or Joint Venutres:
If you have a product, you can leverage the power of affiliates and JVs to promote for you for a commision. Yes, its some sort of paid for traffic but in the end you’re building your list of customers and subscribers who you know are happy to spend.
This is powerful but only works if you have your own product.
Product Give-Aways & Competetions:
Agian you must have a product to give away to take part. This will build your list and that list will form your traffic pool and future affiliates or JVs.
Create widgets and distribute them, although we hear traffic exchanges work, we’ve never used them so you can test them out and advise us here.
I know of many more ways but as I said before, these should be good starters.
Okay, I have to be honest with you now. I am tired and people want to party as its Easter so I’ll continue on this only as a way of answering any questions you may have via the comments feature below
We’ll be releasing an A-Z video series of doing this whole online marketing stuff for you once we finallize some work we’re currently doing. Multi-tasking is not the best approach here. Those who comment on this blog, will be contacted first for beta testing when we go live with that. We’re thinking some time in May 2009.
It’ll cover the tools we use and other sneaky methods to beat the competetion in no time.
Keep your eyes peeled for that.
Do you have any Site Traffic Generation question or comment?
Have a nice Easter
