Am I missing something here, how come so many people are arriving on these fair shores interested in a PeerFly scam? Just for the record I haven’t seen anything that would suggest that they scrub excessively nor that they don’t pay. PeerFly paid me absolutely fine and on time without any problems whatsoever.
So what am I missing here, how are PeerFly scamming people?
I’ve been buying expired domains with back links for quite a while, a little over a year if my memory serves me right. In that time my approach has been to buy the domain and then 301 redirect it to one of my existing domains. The results have been OK if not spectacular. Sure those links can give an improvement in search rankings but it’s not the magic bullet I was hoping it may be. There had to be a better way of profiting from these expired domains, well last week I discovered it.
One of the most important things with running any business is keeping your costs under control. If you consider your attempts at making money online to be a business then one of the very first costs you’re going to encounter is hosting. If you’re in anyway serious about making money from the internet then you really need your own website, free services like WordPress hosted and Blogger just aren’t worth it. When it comes to choosing hosting there are 2 factors that tend to influence people the most 1. How reliable is the service? 2. How much traffic will my hosting account handle?
As you know I’ve been playing around with Twitter for a couple of months now. As a communication tool I still don’t get it, sorry if that offends but I just don’t. On the other hand however I have found some very good uses for Twitter and I’m going to share one of them with you now. It’s how I’m using Twitter to funnel long tail keyword traffic straight to my websites.
I’m going to keep this short and sweet. Go and read this post about an easy way to start making a profit with affiliate marketing. Does that make sense, good!
Now at step 4 instead of using your current favourite keyword research tool go and get yourself a ShoeMoney Tools account (it’s only $3.95 for the 9 day trial). Use the keyword research tool from within ShoeMoney Tools to generate your list of keywords. Now the thing is 7Search will strip out a LOT of the longer long tail keywords because they’ve had no searches, that’s fine. However you’ll still be left with a much longer list of long tail keywords that you can bid really low on (2 cents is my standard). On my offers I’ve gone from having between 20-40 keywords to over 100 good ones. For me to date a lot more targeted keywords = a lot more profit. Simples.
The technique I mentioned about using RevTwt to make money from Social Spark was a dud. I just got fired this e-mail:-
“Thank you for your interest in our CPC program. We truly appreciate your enthusiasm! However, we have noted that you obtained many clicks for your CPC Opportunities from an outside marketing platform, http://revtwt.com which is in violation of our Terms Of Service sect. 3.8.
It’s not very often I do a post looking back over the week but there have been a couple of stories around this niche of ours that have stood out this week.
How often do you check your stats? If you’re anything like me then the answer is probably more often than you should! But it gets worse, for anybody making money online the 1 stat that interests us more than any other is “how much money have I made today”. We’re not even really checking anything meaningful, all we want to know is how much money have we made!
When I relied on Adsense for a large part of my income I wrote a utility called Adsense Alert that allowed me to forget about checking my earnings. I still do use it from time to time but Adsense now accounts for such a small amount that it’s become irrelevant to me. My latest obsession is affiliate marketing and once again the bad habits have developed, I probably sign in to various accounts 20-30 times a day – just to “check”. You can probably guess what is coming here:-
A simple little windows application that goes of every hour and checks your daily affiliate earnings for you. Your earnings are presented via a popup window, spread over the hour. So say for example you have 4 accounts setup then you’ll get a popup every 15 minutes. At the end of the hour your earning amounts are updated again and the process repeats. There is no limit to the number of accounts that can be monitored.
To start of with in the publically available version I’ve included support for the following networks – Market Leverage, PeerFly, ClickBank and NeverBlueAds. However because of the way the system has been written it’s very easy to add new networks as and when.
The Current List Of Supported Networks Is As Follows:-
Market Leverage
PeerFly
NeverBlueAds
ClickBank
TV Processing
If there’s a network not in the list that you want supporting then just leave a comment. If there’s enough demand for a particular network then I’ll add it in (depending on if I can get an account approved or not I may need some credentials in order to do this).
Version: 1.01 (Minor Update)
Last Updated: 15/02/2010
You’ll also need the .net framework version 2 or higher to run Affiliate Alert. This should come installed on most modern PCs (or at worst be part of windows automatic updates) but if not you can install version 2 of the framework from this link.
Because this has been written for personal use and it’s something I’m using every day there will be ongoing development.
