Review Sites, Squidoo and Hubpages Are Everywhere

It’s scary to know that Review Sites, Squidoo and Hubpages are all over the Search Engine Results…

If you do not know what are Review Sites, Squidoo Lens and Hubpages all about - they are simply the commonly used marketing methods now to promote personally reviewed affiliate products. Review Sites can exist in the form of a blog, just like this, whereas Squidoo Lens and Hubpages are normally one page recommendations.

To put that in acutal context, are you currently keeping yourself updated with all the latest releases of online marketing resources?

If you are, you should have noted that there are a few current big releases like Commission Blueprint, Secret Affiliate Code 2 and the Continuity Blueprint.

When products of such are released, affiliate marketers are very busy and the owners are getting happier. Affiliate Marketers are busy with creating Review Sites, Squidoo Lens and Hubpages and planting them with all their personal bonuses, hoping to get as much commission as possible. The owners will be laughing to the bank because of the efforts of these hardworking marketers.

Do you want proof of these pages in the Search Engine? See this when I did a search for Secret Affiliate Code 2:

Is Your WordPress A Sensitive Little Girl As Well?

Do you know that your WordPress, even at current version 2.6.2, it’s sensitive to what you are typing?

Why is that so?

My last post: My Journey To Getting Affilicore Into The Ad Age Power 150 has actually taken me 1.5 days just to be able to post it online.

The issue here is that, there are some words (which I do not know which are the words) contained within the post that WordPress is sensitive and deemed unfit to be posted. Therefore the auto-save mode is jammed up and preventing you from posting.

I have to save my original copy and post into the visual editor paragraph by paragraph, wait for the auto-save mode or else there’s some words within the paragraph that’s “too sensitive” to WordPress which will prevent me from saving and posting!

Talk about the agony! My initial post is supposed to be much more lengthy but because of this issue, I have to cut down words. If time equates to money, and with such issues affecting you, do you think your affiliate marketing business could be affected if you are running it in full force?

The Agony! Can You Feel It Too?

This case is still not resolved as yet as of for me even with some of the advice provided online. Some of the advice being provided:

• http://tamaspiros.co.uk/2007/11/28/wordpress-error-404-postphp-was-not-found-on-this-server/ (the solution provided is to create another .htaccess file with additional code so as to override the security of WordPress)
• http://www.homewithandrew.com/index.php/wordpress-21-403-forbidden-error-aka-its-driving-me-mad-error/ (this guy is apparently having the same issue as me)

Meanwhile, I will still be doing my own research so as to find a solution out of this sensitiveness or if you have faced similar issues, how about posting your link under the comment to share with the others?

My Journey To Getting Affilicore Into The Ad Age Power 150

Are you already in the list of the Power 150? If you do, a big congratulations! *envious*

And if not, and you are wondering what the heck is Power 150 all about, you may want to explore what it is and consider if you would like to get into that list with your blog.

What Is The Power 150?

Better known as The Ad Age Power 150 and it’s a ranking site for the top English-language media and marketing blogs in the world, created by a marketing executive and blogger, Todd Andrlik.

Are You In This List Yet?

With the number of blogs increasing and the keenness to get exposure in the online community, the Power 150 is one of the many sites that many bloggers will want their blogs to be listed. Already featured in that list are popular guys like Seth Godin, Problogger, and ShoeMoney. These guys are in the top 50 of the list.

How To Get Started?

If you have a blog as well and will like to be listed after your read this post, I will definitely ask you to hold your horses till you know what is expected of your site. I have submitted my site two days ago and my Todd Score (which you will know later) is so low, a mere 10, that I am ashamed!

Whenever You Are Ready…

If you do have a power blog that is ready to be submitted, these are the list of expectations that will be needed from your blog:

How To Turn Adversity Into Opportunity In Your Online Business

I attended a short inspirational talk by a entrepreneur running a successful business in the area of personal development, who is also beginning to make his mark in the online marketing arena.

What is good to learn from him, in this short talk, is that in every adversity, there’s always an opportunity, even in an online business.

Like how? Simply by changing the way you present your information to others in any of your online materials to help them perceive that your products or services are always a solution in any adversity.

A simple illustration could be like this, which is shared by this entrepreneur:

If your area of business is selling an educational package of how to make money by becoming an investor in stocks and shares, and in your website, your email promotions and your education materials are just on:

• Picking good stocks
• Know when the price of the stock is going down
• Know when to let go of the stock and then make a fortune

all in a short time frame…

But in reality, the actual current stock market trend is like this:

Seven Little Ways To Give Values Back In Affiliate Marketing

The whole economy is in turmoil, stock markets don’t seem to have the energy to climb up and more people are keeping their money under the pillow than with banks.

When I first started knowing how to do business as a 19 years old kiddo and playing my part serving the nation, the first business model that I came across was the Network Marketing model or known to many as Multi-Level Marketing. To many, they still prefer to call it Pyramid Scheme Selling.

My few encounters with the model are that this business model will withstand the ups and downs of the market. Nonetheless, after so many years (8 years and counting…) of not getting involved in it, my former companies are still doing very much well and better than before even in this current times of financial turmoil.

The one reason that I can think of of being sustainable in that business is that - the business gives value back to the clients. Once the clients appreciate the value they have received, they return and the repeat business starts.

So if I based it in a Formula, it will be Value => Repeated Business => Money => Sustainability.

Now if we focus on the topic of value that an affiliate marketing or internet marketing business can offer, do you think this business model is sustainable as well, in any market situations?

The blog income report for the month of September for both John Chow and Alvin Phang are out, and their results (income) are amazing. I am glad to mention that both individuals are successful bloggers and internet marketers who give true value back, every time, to their readers. Am I also one of those individuals that give back value to you? You are my best judge!

So How Can We Give Value In Affiliate Marketing?
