Avoid The Google "Slap"

So Im sure by now you are well aware of what we in the internet marketing business refer to as the "google slap". In short, it is the crackdown of Google on poor affiliate marketing. I am about to give you some great tips on how to avoid this.

First though I want to cover this short topic.

What is Google Slapping and Why?
As I said in short it is a crackdown on affiliate marketing. Mainly. But it is really just the change in their search results and ranking algorithm. They have dramatically changed the way they view sites and rank them. It has hurt many affiliates as well as other company sites.
In the old days of marketing, you could get online, start a website and just stuff your articles and content with keywords. So they changed it and started looking more torwards backlinks. Well then they did a survey and found out that their results were really annoying people using their search engine. People were telling them that the results were either not related very well or they were all just the same content, on different sites.
So here they changed again, and really put a hurt on people this time. Now its hard to even get a PPC campaign to run with them in AdWords due to some very strict changes in their policies.

So how do they rank sites as relevant now?
Well now I have to tell you the truth. You may not like it if your accustomed to the old way, or if youre lazy lol. So here it is.
Your quality score with google is now based on a combination of the following.
1: Quality Content - So what now. Post quality content to your site. This means post content that offers something that isnt offered somewhere else. Sound hard? Not really. If youre doing a review of a product, dont duplicate someone elses. Just read 5-10 reviews, and learn. Now use what you have learned to write your own review. IN YOUR OWN WORDS. Or if youre an amazon associate, dont make a mini site like you used to. Dont make a site on one product. Make it on multiple products, comparing the prices of each, reviews of each, pros and cons and your personal opinion. More work but it is the only way so deal with it or get out of the Internet Business.
2: Keywords - Yes they still count, just not as much. Put a density of keywords at average 1-3%. so 1-3 keywords per every 100 words you right. Other than that JUST WRITE NATURALLY. Google is now smarter than you think. So write quality, and write natural, combined with a light density of keywords. No Stuffing. Also dont use hidden words!!!
3: Social - Huh? Yep thats right, your sociality now counts as well. Get your site on twitter and facebook for backlinks. Let me put it to you simple. The way google sees it, how better to tell what would be relevant than people "liking" your site via fbook or "retweeting" it on twitter. Yes thats it, if they retweet or like then it must be somewhat relevant and enjoyable site. Get it? Got it? Good!
4: Time - Now let me put it to you like this, the good old days of putting up a website in 5 minutes and never putting anything else on it is GONE. Well you can do that if you want, but you won't monetize from it. So here is key, and a very important key at that. Come back to your site every day or two and post something else to your blog or whatever. The more content you post, the more active and legit you look and the more that google will trust you

So now hopefully you have a better understanding and this will help you move forward towards your success. This is only intended to be a short list of the basic guidelines that you should go by. This is not all they look at, by far. But it IS however what is hurting most of us that are acustomed to the old days. Enjoy and Good Luck!

Make Money Online Blogging - A Different Take

Today I want to share with you a different take on how to make money online with blogging. Now I know, this is a very popular topic and you are used to getting scammed. Well again I am not here to sell you anything so you have nothing to worry about
I will be short and to the point today. As best as I can that is while still getting the point across.
Today I am talking to those of you who already know what a blog is. You may already have one, or you may be getting ready to start one. Now I want to tell you how to monetize that blog with minimal effort.
Have you ever heard of CPM, or cost per thousand impressions. This is a means of advertising in which an advertiser pays someone for every thousand times their ad is present on a given website.
So alot of you are looking at this the wrong way. I dont want you to go and start paying people to come to your website. No. I want you to put other peoples ads on your site so that you get paid for every impression.
This is alot better than using things such as AdSense because noone has to actually click on the ad for you to get paid. You will just sign up with a company (google CPM networks) as a publisher and get their code to put into your site. Every time that an ad is seen on your site it counts torwards that thousand.
So what is the catch you might ask? The only downside to this is the payout is much much lower. Usually you will only get maybe 3-4 bucks per thousand impressions. That sucks huh?
Well yes but it would be a nice thing to go ahead and add for a little extra. And I want to tell you as well the most simple way to get that traffic flowing in so that you can actually start making money from this.
Simple actually. No magic to it. All I am asking you to do is post one new article to your blog EVERY day. Doesnt have to be huge, just 300-500 words per day. Can you do this? If you can you will be seeing a nice little income by this time next year, I can promise you that. Just post new content every single day. Search Engines love sites that are being updated with unique content daily.
And of course you can help yourself with backlinks. And yes I know youve heard that same bs before as well. But here it is simple as well the way I will tell you. Go sign up with an article site, StreetArticles is my favorite. And just simply post a new article there every day. I like to post 2 per day but one will do. Within that article put TWO textlinks back to your blog. Thats it.
Now you have unique content on your site, and quality backlinks growing daily. Love it.
Well thats it for today, but before I go I want to list some CPM networks below for you to help you get started. Enjoy, and dont forget to subscribe to my daily updates using the D2R Subscription box to the --> right of this post.

Internet/Affiliate Marketing - Scam Or Real?

 Today I am just writing regarding so called affiliate marketing scams. It is funny that all everyone is so skeptical now about any chance of online income. All you can think when you see a chance to make money from home is "SCAM, SCAM, SCAM!".
Not 100% true. Think about it for a second. Lets say you have come across an oppurtunity recently that has told you that you can make money from home for the low price of 29.95. They say you can "quit your job and be your own boss as an affiliate marketer". First thing you think is that it is just another rip off. But if you were expecting to start a McDonalds franchise, and they asked you for thousands of dollars for start up cost, thats legit. What I am getting at is if you want to be your own boss, you will eventually have to spend money. Point blank period. So just because it costs doesnt mean it is a scam.
Now that I have put that into your head the right way, lets get to something a little more informative. I want to tell you some things to look for to avoid getting caught up with the guru bs and getting ripped off. After all, chances are that if you are wanting to make money as an internet/affiliate marketer then you dont have alot of money to be throwing around on useless so called "push button" software.
So let me give you a few hints on what to look for in bs programs that dont work.
If it claims to make thousands of dollars overnight: Scam
If it claims you only push 2 buttons and never look again: Scam
If it has all thes pics of clickbank accounts and all that: Maybe legit but not something done overnight
If it claims to be the only of its kind: Dont Trust
Autopilot: Dont Trust
Okay, now that I have told you a few of the dead give aways let me explain a little deeper here. First, if you are completely new to making money online, the chances of you getting rich overnight are less than those of you hitting the lottery for a billion dollars. Affiliate Marketing is NOT learned over night, it is something that takes time, practice and dedication.
Also I would like to state that there is no software that you can push 2 buttons and get rich in an hour. Dont fall for these programs you will regret it I promise. I fell for plenty of them when I first started out. To make money you will have to put in time. Yes, even in internet marketing.
Now some people say that all the pics of these clickbank accounts with $100,000 are fake. Most probably are, but some are legit. The catch is is that they are usually selling their own products and have others selling their product to get that kind of money. And they have been doing it a while and know what they are doing. Also they are probably spending a good bit of that on advertising as well. (Told you that you will have to spend money eventually :D)
If it claims to be one of a kind underground software never revealed...use common since and google it. there will be many other programs of the same kind. And if they are lying to you about this, then they are probably lying about what kind of income you can expect and how hard it will be using their software.
No autopilot, as I stated earlier you will have to do something to make money, otherwise everyone would be rich.
All that being said, their are some legit ways to make money online. I have actually achieved this and I have as well a blog that is going to be revealing many of the free ways to be a successful affiliate marketer.
You can make money blogging, selling other affiliate products via sites like clickbank, commission junctions etc. You can make money with CPA. There are many good effective techniques to do this, as well as more profitable paid ways to do this. Some of the free ways to make money with internet marketing are as follows:
1: Blogger Blog (adsense monetized)
2: Social media marketing (twitter, myspace, fbook, youtube, etc think outside the box :D)
3: Article Marketing (ezine,streetarticles etc)
Now a few paid ways:
1: PPC (pay-per-click)
2: PPV (pay-per-view)
3: CPM (cost-per-milli aka cost per thousand impressions)
And many more of course. My favorite to date is PPV for the paid way, and Social media marketing for the free. Now I would like to tell you however that you can get tools to help you with social media marketing. They are by far NOT required at all, but I actually tried one recently, and it helped save me much of my time by giving me a virtual assistant to outsource my work to as well as it had a tool called Social Genius which saved alot of time by searching multiple social networks at once for my social marketing.
Well that is enough rant for today. By the way, if you guys see any FREE internet marketing information, you should look at it. It cant hurt. Some people are just honest and want to help other people. Dont just doubt it because it says "Make Money Online". Ok till next time.

Affiliate Marketing With CPA

Okay, so in my last post I was telling you about a quick and easy way to make money with clickbankC via social marketing. I know you enjoyed that article and technique, and I am positive that you have seen some profits with it. Amazing what the right free information can do for you huh? :) Thats why Im here.

But today I want to veer away from the traditional affiliate marketing plan (clickbank, commission junction etc) and talk about another type of program called CPA.

CPA stands for cost-per-action, or cost-per-lead. As a member of a CPA program, you will be promoting these "offers" in many different ways (similar to any other promotional techniques for internet marketing), but you wont necessarily have to SELL ANYTHING! This is the great part :D

Instead of having to make a sell to get paid, you could be getting paid for simply getting someone as a "lead" for the company. By lead I mean just get them to enter some basic information, often times all they have to do is submit an email address or zipcode. Isnt this amazing?! I mean think of the options I just opened up for you. After all it is a heck of a lot easier to convince someone to submit their email or zipcode than it is to get them to buy something, dont you agree?

Okay so now you know why CPA advertising online is becoming alot more popular. Now dont get me wrong, these things dont pay like selling products. I mean you could easily get $40 from selling a product with clickbank, or more. And with CPA you will only be making $1-2 per lead. But the idea is you can generate 100 times the leads alot easier than you could get one sell. So it can be very profitable. Especially if you are looking for the "quick money".

Here is a downside that many people run into, and I will inform you of the alternative that you may or may not have heard of that will counter this downside :D. (Remember, I always tell you an answer to your internet marketing problems) The downside is that you cant use PPC for email submits unless you are an ADWORDS PRO! You will find yourself paying at least 50 cents per click if not more and only with at most a 20% conversion rate.

Let me break that down for you. If you spend 50 cents for every click with 20% conversion rate you will be spending $2.50 for each lead and only making 1-2 bucks from the lead. That would mean you just wasted a dollar or more AT LEAST just to get the submit. Like I said, unless you are VERY VERY good at keyword research.

Now that being said here is how you do it. First, allow me to remind you of the social media promotions I went over in my last post. You can always use twitter, fbook, myspace, youtube, linkdin, digg and all those types of sites for free. So you get your offers in front of people for free. Read my article Make Money With Clickbank for details on how to do social marketing. It will walk you through a very effective technique of using twitter.

Now tho lets offer an alternative to PPC (pay-per-click). I assume this if you are still reading this, then you have at least 20 bucks that you are willing to spend on this method to maximize profits with minimal effort vs. social marketing. I am now going to introduce you to my little friend....PPV.

PPV stands for pay-per-view. Unlike PPC you are paying companies for everytime they actually VIEW your page and you get these views for between 1-5 cents easily. If thats not the best part, then try this on for size. IT IS ALSO TARGETED VIEWS. :D

So if you used a PPV campaign and paid 3 cents per click with 20% conversions, you would spend 15 cents for every 1-2 bucks made. Now that is pure amazing. Especially if you are promoting 50-100 products per day as I normally do. Scale it up and scale up the income ;)

So how is this achieved? How is it possible you may ask? Easy, PPV companies have toolbars and such for download all over the internet. When people download these programs or toolbars, it installs what is called adware onto their computer. Everytime they type in a word on a search engine, the adwware detects it, and pops up one of the advetisers ads up according to the keyword relevancy and bid that you have placed. Less people use this, and it is less known about, and it has a lower conversion rate is why it is so cheap. But I promise you I have always come out with a high ROI using PPV.

Now you want to know some good CPA companies to sign up with, as well as how to get started with PPV. Below are some links.

CPA NETWORKS:
Peerfly
Maxbounty

PPV:
TrafficVance
MediaTraffic
Clicksor
LeadImpact

So sign up with a cpa network as a PUBLISHER, go join a PPV network, and PROFIT. Enjoy till next time. :D

Making Money With Clickbank - Can You?

To See The Software That Enables Me To Make 5 Figures a Month CLICK HERE NOW.

So the answer is yes you can make alot of money online. Just as I have. It will require work. It isnt get rich quick I garauntee you that. But you WILL make money this week if you follow my tutorial below. Or BUY THIS and jumpstart your success.


Okay, so yesterday I told you guys to create an affiliate acount with Clickbank. Now I want to jump start your learning curve with clickbank and how to effectively use it to your own financial benefit. I want to be able to provide you all with a quite simple and fairly quick (compared to other techniques) income.


What I will be talking about today is using the power of social media (twitter,fbook,myspace,youtube etc..) to see income as quickly as possible as an affiliate marketer.


So lets get right to the point. First I want to outline the steps so that you know what I will be telling you to do so that you dont feel like you are wasting your time reading this. Also I would like to let you know that this will require you to spend no money whatsoever and can be achieve with a minimum of 20 or so minutes per day, of course more time = more oppurtunities = more money :)


Steps:
1: Choose a product to promote.
2: Shorten your affiliate link (make it more appealing)
3: Promote the product with social media.
4: Earn commissions
5: Rinse and Repeat.


Okay, so now that you know what the steps are in general lets go more into depth.


Step 1: Login to your Clickbank account. Click on the "Marketplace" tab. Now you use the search bar to find a product to promote. Just type something in, maybe you want to promote a product about weightloss, so type in "lose weight".


This will show alot of different products. I would choose a product with a gravity of at LEAST 100. The higher the gravity, the better it is selling. Once you find a product you want to promote, you will click on the green "Promote" button. Type in an abbreviation for the product and click "Create". Copy the top link (this is your affiliate link)


Step 2: Make your affiliate link shorter and more attractive. There are two ways to do this; buy your own link and redirect OR THE FREE WAY. So we will talk about the free option here. Thats all I'm interested in telling you guys.


So head on over to TinyUrl.com . Paste your affiliate link into the "Long-Link" text-box. Click shorten link and they will give you another shorter link. Test that link to make sure it still goes to your affiliate site. If so you are now done with this step.


Step 3: Promote it via social media. I am going to cover Twitter only here because I have seen the most success with it. But you can as well do it with youtube, facebook etc etc.


So now go to search.twitter.com . Type in "-http [yourkeywordhere]" So if your selling a weightloss product type in something like this "-http i need to lose weight". Click on Search button. This will show you a list of all the tweets in the past few days that have that in the tweet.


Click on "Reply" to one of the tweets and reply to them with something like this "If you still need to lose x amount of lbs, try this it worked amazing for me [tinyurllinkhere]" and click reply. Do this for as many keywords to as many people as you can. Just say spend an hour a day doing this. It will allow several thousand people to see your product with you only replying just a few times to people per day.


Step 4: You will soon be earning commissions from people buying your products. Remember, you already chose good selling products by selecting high gravity to promote, so you know that theyre sales page is good at converting :D


Step 5: Rinse and Repeat. I would say you should do this with about 3-4 products per day. Spending only an hour or so per day with these 4 products will allow you to start seeing some income pretty soon. Just stay persistent and success will form. Trust me.


So that is the best, fastest, most effective way to earn an income online with no money for you to have to spend. Of course I will tell you that I do like to use a tool that is available by buying FastCashCommissions. You can get it here. It has lots of video tutorials and it has copy/paste campaigns. As well as they offer you a virtual assisstant to do some of this for you. Also they have a tool to search twitter, fbook, myspace, youtube and many more social sites to reply to in the way i told you in the above steps; EXCEPT THEIR TOOL ENABLES YOU TO BE ABLE TO DO ALL THIS AT ONCE. Go check it out if you want the jump on you competition and you want to make the labor part for you easier and faster. I use it every day and is very effective software. No bs guru stuff here only the real deal.

Affiliate Marketing - What Is It Exactly?

Affiliate Marketing is the practice in which a business offers to pay someone from outside of their company to promote their product. Of course we are talking about the art of internet affiliate marketing on this site :) No interest in the real world affiliates. We want to be affiliate marketers from home right? More time with the family is the reasoning. Right.
So lets get to it. Internet marketing is nothing really new. Just something that is growing more and more popular over the past few years with the unemployment rate skyrocketing. It is made out as "easy money". It has as well become a way for many so called online "gurus" to rip us all off and take what little money we DO have left, often times selling scam products like push button systems.
Well that is the purpose of my site of course, to KEEP YOU FROM BEING SCAMMED...AND...HELP YOU SUCCEED!
So here is the blunt truth. There are no push button systems. You wont make a million dollars in your first night as an affiliate. Dont fall for it. It can be easy, but it will be hard at first to master your own way of doing it
But dont worry, Dream to Reality is here to help you with that "learning curve".
Basicly what you will be doing to earn money is one of the following:
1: Selling/Promoting another's product
2: Blogging: earning money from adsense and amazon and such
3: Getting Big-Name companies leads to market to (my personal favorite)
How will you do that? Through techniques we will be discussing such as ppc, ppv, social bookmarking, social media, article marketing etc. etc. Dont worry about all that yet, we will discuss that later on.
So how do you get started you say? Easy. Google affiliate marketing sites. But here I will give you one to sign up with for free. CLICKBANK. Go sign up. You will need it to succeed in some of the easier money-making tutorials that we will provide here. Go sign up as an affiliate, come back tomorrow for some more updates. You wont regret it, plus what do you have to lose, time? Better than wasting your money on the other rip off programs that will tell you exactly what I am going to tell you for free, for a charge. So come get it from me for free. Duh! Later guys
