Just a making a post today on some random thoughts I’m having. I’m always wondering if there are any secrets to making it in this business – or any business for that matter. If you dig enough in the forums you can usually find a few gold nuggets of information. There really are no secrets.
I skim the forums constantly, sometimes at the expense of doing real work. Once in a while I’ll read a great tip that will hit on something I never thought of. Like in my last post about doing a youtube. Not revolutionary, but I never gave it much thought until I saw someone else doing it.
This blog is full of little things I do all the time, and hopefully some of you get inspired and take my little ideas and make something big out of it. Nothing would make me happier than to see everyone making lots of money.
Some argue that it’s not a good idea to feed your competition with “trade secrets”, that you would only be hurting yourself. Maybe so, but it doesn’t matter to me. If you happen to take something from this blog and make ten times more money than me, even dominate on something I started then push me out completely – that’s life.
Trust me, there is very little if anything I’m doing that you probably haven’t thought of or aren’t already doing better. I enjoy working this business and that’s enough for me. Hopefully the money will follow and we can all have a drink together.
There are so many things I haven’t shared yet, not because I don’t want to, but because I don’t want to just spit out every random thing I’m doing or get excited about. I like to test things out for a little while and see some results first. Like my post on keyword research. I could have just spit out a quick blurb on it and some of you may have been able to take it from there. But I wanted to make a decent post with real life examples, screen shots, and my results. Even if the results were minimal, there was enough information there for anyone to get started and expand on it.
Basically all I’m saying is my motivation for this blog is sincere. I want you to do well. Everything I write – I’m writing for you. I want you to know I’m talking to you – not the masses.
Sure, I have all my affiliate links spread out all over this blog. But I like to lead by example. And this brings me to today’s lesson:
Anchor Text
Notice how I use anchor text? See how some of my affiliate links lead to pages within this blog? Like fling.com and virtuagirl. I have a plugin that automatically inserts the hyperlinks for me on those keywords and any keywords I choose. The plugin is called – no surprise – automatic seo links.
Guess what? This blog ranks on page one of google for “fling affiliate” and “virtuagirl affiliate”.
Check it out (as of this writing):
http://www.google.com/search?q=fling+affiliate
http://www.google.com/search?q=virtuagirl+affiliate
So when making anchor text for your affiliate links, point them to your own site first – a “landing page” if you will.
Well that’s it for now. Need to make a gallery and submit tonight. Hope you are making lots of money!

Hi Rob,
I read your blog a lot. Anyway last time I posted I was miserable that night 4 sales :-O
So, to keep the trend
–
I really don’t think this business will work, conversions stick and it’s been a long time between sales. I will give it a month or so but at this point it seems saturated.

Ok, for an update, I now have 10 blogs, 5 are getting decent SE traffic in fact one is getting over 100 a day the past few days. 2 Are virtually dead; my Flino ne is really dead despite submitting 6 galleries focused on back links and direct links to it. No sales on the blogs yet but at least I am seeing SE traffic.
Here is my latest one, I don’t know how to anchor text on these I tied and the URL did not resolve last time :-/

Thanks as usual for you candid posts, they are helpful.

Sorry for the spam, I got my cam blog up – took about 2 hours. I got to refine it a bit, may get rid of live feeds and post stills with links as for me the iniital load is choppy. ill see how SE traffic goes before spending too much time.

Thanks for reading my blog. I don’t mind the spam. In fact, I need to setup a directory so people can properly post there stuff here if they want.
Looks like you really got the hang of picking up keyword domains. Did you learn that from my earlier post or did you learn it from somewhere else?
I’ve only got one blog getting 100+ hits per day on se traffic, and I just got lucky.
I’ve had some good sales already this month – 4 sales on fling and 2 on virtuagirl for a total of $198. On the flip side, I got a few chargebacks that puts me behind for now. I’ll write about it later. I’m just too tired right now. Long days at the day job this week wearing me out.
