September 2007 Newsletter

Hi Everybody,

Well, something’s been eating my chickens.  I’m down from about 30 to just 4.

What’s this got to do with search marketing, you might ask?  Well… nothing, I guess.  I just miss my chickens. 

At least it gave me an excuse to drive up to my ranch last week and spend a few days with my brother building a chicken coop to keep the remaining chickens safe (they’d been roosting in an open barn where the fox – or whatever it was – could get them pretty easily).  It was nice to do a little real work again, but I’ll tell you, I’m glad I don’t have to work that hard everyday. 

Thank God my day job is a breeze! 

But, forget about my success.  Let’s talk for a minute about your’s.  

For a couple months now, I’ve been promising those of you who’ve written to me about your own successes that I would set up a forum in which you could share your stories with everyone.  This week, I added a new category to the Affiliate Millions Discussion Board.  The category is Success Stories, and I’d like to encourage those of you who would like to share your stories to do so by posting them to this new category.  Remember, you have to login to the Discussion Site to see the “Write a Post” option on your account dashboard.  If you don’t know how to choose a category, don’t worry, I’ll make sure it winds up in the right one.

Now, on to the tips.

Website Design & Marketing Tips


Website Promotion


One thing to keep in mind when you are promoting a website of your own is that there are many different options, some of which are not available when using search marketing just to promote affiliate programs.  Search engine optimization (SEO) is a good example.  With a site of your own, you should focus some of your efforts toward getting your site to appear in the natural search engine results.  If you can successfully climb near to the top of a few key searches, you will begin getting the best kind of traffic…  FREE!  Add to that the relevancy of the traffic you get from appearing at or near the top of a few relevant search phrases, and you will likely have established a significant revenue stream.

A great book about promoting your own website that I read in preparation for launching the Affiliate Millions website is Insider Seo & Ppc: Get Your Website to the Top of the Search Engines, available now on Amazon.

Website Tools


I recently came across a great new company named Mpire that creates widgets for eBay and Amazon (among others).  These widgets are a great blend of content and revenue generation.  I have an example on my own site at www.AffiliateMillions.com/web-design.html that dynamically compares current prices for the same product on both Amazon and eBay.

Website Templates


As I have mentioned before, one of the services we are providing that I am most proud of is our FREE website templates.  These templates are professionally designed, and include simple instructions for incorporating your own affiliate advertisements into the html code.  Simply download the files from my site and unzip them to your root directory on your web server.  Don’t have a web server?  Don’t worry, just skip down a few paragraphs and you’ll find affordable and reliable web hosting services you can use to publish your new website.

Presently, as Affiliate Millions is only just getting started, we have only one template available.  It is a template for an online college degree selection site, and it is available at www.AffiliateMillions.com/web-design.html.  You can view a working example of the website at www.Great-Colleges.com.

I strongly suggest Affiliate Fuel for your source of education offers to list on this site, as they have a large number of high paying, high converting college degree offers.


Good Luck, Affiliate Millionaires in training!

  1. I just re-read this newsletter and thought some of you (or perhaps none of you) might be interested to know what turned out to be the culprit eating my chickens.

    The surprise villian turned out to be my own beloved hound dog, Chief, who was caught red-handed (or red-pawed, I guess) devouring the last of my chickens.

    Preventative measures have been taken (chicken coop, chicken wire, electric shock dog collar) and chickens have been successfully reintroduced to captivity on the farm.
