Affiliate Marketing and the Recent Google Slap

If you\’re using pay per click marketing and if you\’ve been doing so for any length of time you know that Google Adwords is really, the only game in town if you want fast, significant traffic. You\’ll also know that setting up a Google campaign is quite complicated due to the fact that Google has a number of rules that you\’re supposed to play by but they don\’t really make those rules obvious anywhere. As a result it is a challenging game to play.

Google also has a bit of a history for changing the rules of the game without any heads-up to their advertisers. This is often called the Google Slap. Back in the day you could just build a simple lead capture page and drive traffic to it using Adwords. Not anymore. Now Google wants to see some significant content on those sites so those site provide \”value\” to their visitors. This makes things especially tough for affiliate marketers.

It seems that Google has taken out the ruler and is slapping affiliates again. This time the targets are review-type affiliate sites. It is common practice for a site that is promoting an affiliate offer to write a review about the product they are promoting and then lead the visitor on to (hopefully) buy the product through what we call an affiliate link. This is simply a code that tells the vendor where the sale came from so he or she knows where to send the commission.

That was the deal but recently Google decided that they no longer like such sites. Actually to be more accurate they no longer like advertisers that use Adwords to drive traffic to landing pages or sites promoting affiliate products. It seems a strange decision by Google when one considers that most of the sales on the web are driven by affiliates and Google itself owns an affiliate network.

Nonetheless, what is done is done. What affiliate marketers must ask themselves now is how they can adapt to this new environment.

I can\’t speak for everyone but what I\’m doing seems to be working very well. To discover what that is please visit the link below.

How to Make Money Selling Products from Amazon.com

If you, like me, have been trying to make money online with no success – I can hear you. I have been there. I have made MFA websites, recycled PRL articles – whatever you can think of – I have done it. However, no matter how hard I tried I never made enough money to justify the time and efforts spent.

I was so desperate and on the verge of giving up when I read an article. It had no hype just simple logic that made a lot of sense. For that reason I decided to give it a try. It was an article on how to make money with Amazon.com. I rolled my sleeves up and worked hard for a month or so and I started to see results from my work.

In this article I want to share my experience with you selling products from Amazon.com. Hopefully, I will be able to motivate and help a few people out there who are yet to make money online. Last but not least – what you are gong to read below requires you to buy nothing. You won’t have to spend a dime but you will be able to make money online.

The very first thing we need to do if we want to sell Amazon.com products is to become their partners. Go to Google, type in Amazon Affiliate Program and click the first result. You will be taken to the sign up page where during the registration you will be asked to provide an address of a website that you own. If you don’t have a website you can use the address of any good looking website with valuable info on it.<br />
<br />
Next we need to choose products to promote. Amazon is the largest online retailer in the world with sales of 5.5 billion dollars in 2008. Whatever you can think of – Amazon offers it. With that vast number of products it is really hard to decide which ones to promote, isn’t it? Luckily Amazon provides us with lists of their bestselling products by category.

To see them you need to click on any of the categories on the left side at Amazon.com. You will instantly see the top 10 best selling products in that category. Click on See All Bestsellers at the bottom of the list and you will see the top 100 best selling items in that category. In my opinion this is pure gold. It is Amazon itself giving us access to such valuable info. we have to nothing else but to promote them and make money. You might ask how to promote them.

It is really easy to promote items from the vast Amazon.com catalog. It is a well known fact that Google loves certain websites more than others. It basically means that whatever you put on them it hits the first pages of the search engine in a matter of days. One of those websites is Squidoo.com. It is completely free to post on it – all you need to do is to create an account with them and start posting.

I can hear you asking – What to post?. In general we want to post reviews of the products we want to promote. Amazon.com allows it customers to review items they have bought. All you need to do is read the first page of reviews and come up with a 300 word review of your own. It will be hard in the beginning but you will soon become better. Right now I need about 15 minutes to craft one.

The next thing is to upload the review to Squidoo.com and in a matter of days it should hit the first page. Of course one review won’t cut it. However – having a 100 or so will make a difference in your bottom line.
