Google Woes For Some Affiliates

Good Morning and a happy Monday to you, on this the last day of July. Well it's good as long as you’re not one of the affiliates hit by the latest Google changes. Yes, the big “G” has been at it again. Some affiliates using Google AdWords have been hit with huge price increases and only partly because of Google’s distrust and borderline prejudice towards affiliate marketers.

With Google it seems we have to go the second mile to prove we’re on the up-and-up. We’re sort of guilty until we are able to prove ourselves innocent.

So for those hit by the latest rate hikes, take another look at your landing pages and see if the content is worthy. If you have what is referred to as a squeeze page, (there for the purpose of gleaning e-mail addresses) before sending your viewer to the sales page they're interested in, don’t be surprised if the cost of your clicks spiral up.

As they say, “Content is King”. If your content is drivel, it will cost you; which is actually good for affiliate marketers who are in it for the long haul and bad for those who have thrown up a site to grab a fast buck. Look at it from Google's point of view. Their users want relevant, substantive responses to their searches; and Google wants their users to get what they want. And so we want Google to get what it wants.

Back Up

Oh the joys of making your living via a computer . . . Okay, sometimes not so joyous. This week I was reminded why I should always back up my files.

Yes, you guessed it, my computer crashed. And I’m not talking about some minor crash here; I’m talking the big crash. The kind computers don’t recover from.

I’m now the proud but less financially heeled owner of a new Toshiba laptop computer. And I don’t care how well you backed up your files and how careful you were when you loaded them back in, gremlins will attack during this process.

What a mess. But we’re back . . . and while we may not be better then ever yet – we’re getting there. As Martha would say, “It’s a good thing.” It will force me to relearn a few things and re-enforces the need to ‘BACK UP EVERYTHING’.

And so I leave you this fine Saturday, with this reminder . . . ‘Back Up’.

All the best,

Earn profits online with your own blog

It’s another beautiful day here in Missouri. And I wanted to spend a few moments jotting down some thoughts I had while I was taking my morning walk.

If you're like I was when I first started out you’re interested in earning on your computer, but confused and leery of all the home based business information out there. If that’s the case, here is a quick, simple and inexpensive way to get your feet wet, so to speak, without getting soaked. Start your own blog!

It’s easy to do and you can write what you know. As you get more comfortable with the process, you can begin to branch out and perhaps get your own website. You can sign up as an affiliate marketer with companies who sell products relevant to your blogs’ subject and market products as well as display Google Adsense ads to earn extra income.

Though it may sound a bit overwhelming at first you can take it a step at a time. For free information on starting your own blog business and ways to earn on your computer, go to Blogging for Profit.

All the best,

Maiden Post

There are those who theorize that the average blog has approximately 10 other bloggers who read and link to that blog. And those blogger's blogs have approximately 10 bloggers who read and link to them and so on and so on. With that in mind, the average blogger has quite a sphere of influence.

And don’t forget the 6 degrees of separation. You know the theory that anyone on earth can be connected to any other person on the planet through a chain of acquaintances with no more than five intermediaries. Your influence doesn’t stop with the bloggers who visit your blog, it continues through the bloggers who visit their blogs and visitors to their blogs and so on and so on.

So even though this is my maiden post, I feel as though I'm on the world stage . . . for just a moment . . . ah, get over it! Of course they did say the average blogger . . . it's pretty bad when you have to work up to average. Oh well, one step at a time. :-)
