Affiliate Classroom Magazine - July 2006

The July edition of Affiliate Classroom Magazine is now available online - free, as always.

I was delighted to see that this issue focuses on article marketing, with a number of expert writers and working marketers offering helpful tips on:

• Article marketing best practices: what works and what doesn’t.
• How to develop hot article titles and content, even if you think you’re a “non-writer.”
• How to make PLR articles unique, with before and after examples.
• PLUS white hat “tag and ping” social bookmarking tactics.

Here is an excerpt:

“Fresh, original content is one of the most efficient and long-lasting methods for generating
traffic. Search engines in essence provide free advertising in organic results. Spiders seek out and rank URLs not only by the number of links referencing a page, but according to many factors appearing on the page itself.

Good content helps generate those results in two reinforcing ways. Good content gets linked to more often, helping to raise page rank. Original content also helps avoid being penalized — since engines check to ensure that a site is not merely duplicating content seen a thousand times over elsewhere. “

Amen!

Here is another…

“One mistake newbies getting into article marketing sometimes make is to acquire all the latest auto-generation software. Admittedly, some have and do make money by pumping out thousands of pages on thousands of sites using tools of that kind. They figure, reasonably enough, that if you only make a few cents per site per day, that’s okay because multiplying that by thousands of sites adds up to big bucks.

But that’s a losing proposition for most, and more so every day. Search engine technology has a long way to go yet, but it’s getting more savvy all the time. The risk of getting de-listed — if you get ranked on the first few pages at all — is very high and getting higher.”

Exactly! Thank you so much for making that point!!!
