Last week I started to make a website right in front of everyone on my forum. I am posting exactly what I am doing step by step and it is scary. I am amazed at how much I take for granted when I make a site. Sometimes I am leaving out steps without even thinking. I don’t know of any so-called Guru and I use that term loosely that has built a site and shows what they do.

You can follow the description on the forum.  http://www.nyfalcon.com/forum/general_discussion/just_registered_two_domains-t152.0.html

Affiliate Summit Pictures

Here are the pictures from affiliate summit. I am only in 3 or 4 which means I did a better job of hiding or I was off doing private meetings. It probably was a combination of both.

As you can see from the pictures there are plenty of affiliate managers that will show you all about their programs. I am still sorting through business cards and choosing which ones to work with.

A couple of affiliate managers have sent me a few products to try and see if I like them before I even join their program. One current program that I am already working with sent me something nice too, along with a personal note. This is the reason to go to Affiliate Summit to build relationships.

Shawn Collins has posted a ton of pictures in his Flicker account that were taken at Affiliate Summit. For those that could not make it here is a small reason on why you should make the next one.

It is not often that I am going to recommend a tool or anything that will not help you in your quest to build quality sites but I can’t help it here. One reason is the price and the other is because it actually works better than advertised if you spend 10 minutes learning the program.

Since I am all about building quality sites for the long term for making money online and the owner of this program is the same I have no doubts that this tool will help you. I am a big fan of Jason Potash and his program “Content Composer” which I use everyday but this new tool just blew me away. It is called Comment Kahuna and like I said it is free.

All you have to do is go here http://commentkahuna.com/ and watch the video and you can see what this thing does. You sign up for the email to get the unlock code and you install this in minutes. What the program does is find quality backlinks for your search term with their pagerank. You place a quality comment on these blogs and you will have people viewing your site from url where it list your name in the comment field. You have to watch the video as Jason explains the power of this free tool in detail.

I downloaded this tool only two days ago and tested it on one of my new blogs and after the two days the new blog was not only found by the search engines it also made me a few dollars already with contextual ads.

You need to have a direction for your pages and a “call to action”. You need to direct the end user where you want them to go. People need a nudge sometimes when they are sitting there with their credit card in hand as they are browsing the internet.

I have just discovered a site that explains it better than I ever could.

For years I have been harping on ways to get traffic to your site. I hate to use spammy methods but there is one that works better than any other method especially if you are just starting a website.

I use elance and other places to hire writers but I also use Craiglist. My buddies over at Portalfeeder have made a little video using the exact methods that I use. You can see it on the forum. How to Get Traffic video.

I have used this to hire about 15 writers so far and as you get better at it you will make better ads.

What a great source of information they have there for people that want to make money online. Brad Callen is a smart cookie and he knows how to get traffic to your website without going into black hat methods.

I suggest that you sign up and get a few ebooks on SEO from the good folks over there. If you have an ebook or a product that you want to sell this is also the place for you.

I get asked a lot of times about how I make my web pages that they get such good rankings. I never make a page just for the sake of the search engines, I make all my current pages for users. (Yes I was guilty of making pages for search engines only at one time.)

Making pages for a search engine to read is so dead now that it doesn’t make sense to waste your time doing it. Trust me I have a ton of pages out there that are duplicate content that it’s not funny. Guess what it also hurts your earnings to have these pages up, but thats for another post. See how I handle making my web pages so they work
