We are all looking for a GOOD article spinner.
Unfortunately, most of the time, we end up paying too much for a software that was made by a good designer, but a bad technician.

What does this mean ?
We often get nice looking piece of software that are not worth crap.

But there ARE a few good article spinners out there..

The only issue is that they are VERY time consuming.

And since the only purpose of having an article spinner is to save time in the end, we end up never using the tool anymore.

But I’ve recently came accross a surprisingly good software.

I am part of 4 different affiliate marketing or Internet marketing communities should I say.

And I have seen a thread going from only a few post to being a “sticky” with A LOT of action within only a few days.
A thread about article spinners.
A thread about a specific article spinner that would change the “game”.

…A thread about the BEST article spinner ever made !


Is there really such thing as a UNIQUE article spinner ?

Well, actually, there is !
And even though it does not make sense, it is really less expensive than most other similar tools !

I found the Best Article Spinner.

Here is a screenshot of how it works. Click the image for a video :

It is a multi user platform that allow each user to share what synonyms he would have used. Which makes the database posibility endless !!

Within less than10 minutes you can generate 50 completely unique and perfectly readable articles… all of this by spinning one article found on the web.

Combined with any article submitter, it really is the tool of choice to generate easy articles and therefore, generate tons of easy backlinks.

Let me know how you like the software if you are using it, or what you think about that video you just saw if it’s your first time seeing it !

As an affiliate, you have a website or a blog.
You are sending traffic to this site, in order to make a sale or a subscriber.
Traffic comes from dozens if not hundreds of different sources.
You might even have over a thousand articles linking to your site or blog.

But are you using any web site analytics tool ?
Are you using Google Analytics ?

If not, you are missing on a very important aspect of Internet marketing called “tracking”.

With so many different links pointing to your site, it is essential that you track your clicks and your visitors.
This is letting you know where the visitor came from, where he went once onto your site, which page he ahs visited and what links were appealing enough for him to click it ?!

And the good thing is that you don’t have to pay hundreds of dollars to have access to a good web site analytics tool.

In fact, you don’t have to pay at all.

Google is offering one of the best, if not THA best analytics tool there is !

http://www.google.com/analytics/

Once you are registered, all you have to do is Add New Account, which is in fact a new website you want to track.

You input the requested information, follow the steps (which are clearly explained) and you will end up receiving a coding to input into your website.

Simply apply the code to your site and you are all set.

It takes effect within only a few minutes.

You will be able to see how long people were on your site, what is the bounce rate, (bounce rate is when someone comes onto your web site for only a few seconds and leaves) where the traffic comes from, which keywords were typed and much more.

Once you get started with a web site analytics tool, you usually get addicted !

Here is a screenshot of one of the analytics report section :

Now that you know it exists, if it’s not already done, go register and input a code onto your web site !

And by the way, don’t get discouraged if you are using WordPress and are not familiar with coding.

There are a few plugins that can be downloaded that will allow you add your web site analytics for your wordpress blog too.

Enjoy !

At some point or another, we are all facing harder times.

And those moments are not always easy to overcome.

And I am not talking only about affiliate marketing or into our online businesses, but I mean in life in general. Sometimes, it would feel comforting to have someone holding our hand.. Someone letting us know that everything will be alright.

But more often than not, we are alone in those moments.

And we have to find the strenght to get back on our feet and keep moving forward.

So today, I’ve decided to write a quick post about motivation, because…


Motivation is the key to success.

It is the key to internet marketing success.

It is the key for living an happy life.

It is the key for achieving our goals.

Without motivation, there would be no hope… and without hope, no reason to move forward.

I don’t want to sound drepressing today, but I came accross one of those videos… You know, those few sequence that will always be stamped into your mind for the rest of your life.

Well I accidentally came accross one of those stamps today, and even though many of you have probably already seen it, I wanted to share this video with you.

Many people are looking for the key success factors, while in fact, all it takes is motivation.

And when I need a little bit of a hype, or motivation, I watch those two video.
It’s 10 minutes for both.

But it’s the best 10 minutes investment I can do in a day, because I know I work at my best after seeing this.

Watch the 2 videos, and you’re batteries should be fully charged after this.

Your internet marketing success only depends on one things; yourself !

Enjoy

And if you liked those videos, I’d like you to post a comment explaining how you use what you saw to get motivated.

One of the best ways to start as an affiliate online is by writing articles and blogs, also know as the good ole’ bum marketing method.

The reason why I suggest to start with articles and blogs is because they are 100% free, they only require time investment, they rank REALLY FAST on Google and the search engines, and they are also a very good way to generate a STEADY income in the long term.

But that being said, where the heck should you start submiting your articles ? Or what kind of articles should you write ? Marketing articles or SEO articles ? Does it have to be related to money making, in order to end up making money by writing it ? Do you need to be perfectly bilingual to get started with this ? Can this be done from anywhere on the planet ?

Those are all questions I had in mind when I first started..

But don’t worry, I am covering this all right now.


First things first :

Q: Can this be done from anywhere by anyone ?

A: Absolutely ! It really does not change a tiny little bit of things, no matter how old you are, where you are from, and what your first language is. I suggest to get used writing articles in english, because you are going to be addressing to a much wider market than if you use any other languages.


Q: What should you write about ? Marketing articles or any kind of articles ?

A: Anything you like. Everything that exists can become a niche. And if you are wondering, a niche by definition is a very targeted market; a group of people looking to invest into a very specific product, service or solution! …By niche I didn’t mean a “dog house”, hehe.

If you want to find a good place with products to promote as an affiliate, with various reliable niches to choose from, I suggest you get started at www.Clickbank.com.

It is free to register, their affiliate link system is very simple, and you can found some high quality products to promote within hundreds of different niches in there.


Q: Where should you submit those articles ?

A: I suggest 4 different places to get started with. If you are looking for the best article directories, there are two that comes up in my mind.

The first one has to be www.EzineArticles.com. They are without a doubt the best and most viable place to submit your articles to. It does take a little bit more time to get them posted, because they need to be verified and approved by their team, but this is where you should get the most traffic from.

There is also www.ArticleBase.com that I really like to use. If you want to find more places to submit your articles too, just write down “article directories” into Google and here you go…

I also suggest to submit your texts to two different Web 2.0 sites, that have became icons and cult places for affiliate ober the last three years.

They are www.Squidoo.com and www.HubPages.com.

Those two websites are some of Google’s favourites, as they are getting ranked very fast, but they are a good place to get visibility and also a GOOD place to put your AFFILIATE links !

Because if you try to put any affiliate links on ezinearticles, chances are that you are never going to publish anything at all…

So it might seem like only four ordinary websites at first, but once you start submitting your articles on a regular basis, may it be marketing articles, SEO articles, but also how to train your dog articles or how to meet the girl of your dream articles, those four directories should become one of the most precious resource you get to use to generate your revenu online.. For free by the way.

And remember, if you know how to get there but you don’t take action, we are both wasting our time.

Now get to work !

As an affiliate marketer, you should know how important backlinks are for your website or blog.

Backlinks are what makes you site visible to the millions  of the Internet community.

A great website, with perfect content, but with NO backlinks is absolutely useless.

But beyond this, backlinks is what gives you “importance”. Google loves to see backlinks pointing to their indexed sites. In fact, it is one of the most important factor to rank on the first page of the search engines.

And this should be your first goal. Ranking on the first page of Google. Because once you are there, the organic traffic starts to pour in, and this is what every affiliate marketer should be looking for.

But how can you build backlinks rapidly, without having to pay for a backlink tool ?


Let me introduce to you : SocialPoster.com

Social Poster is a free website that will help you save a LOT of time, but it will mostly help you generate dozens if not hundreds of links within a matter of a few minutes.

The first time you will be using SocialPoster, it will be a little bit longer to get started, because you will have to register to the social bookmarking websites that you want to be posted at.

I suggest to select only the Dofollow ones (which can be done by clicking the Dofollow link on the right) because they are the backlinks that are having weight for your website.

A DoFollow link is a way to say that you are allowing the link to give a little bit of YOUR own website’s PR to the other website you are linking at.

If you have a NoFollow link, then it means that the link will only direct to the other website, but you WON’T be losing any PR to that specific website.

In other words, when building backlinks to YOUR site, you want  DoFollow links, and when you are linking to another website, you want to insert a NOfollow link.

So, once you have registered to the desired social bookmarking sites on SocialPoster, you are ready to go.

Every articles or pages that you create should be poster to all of those directories, resulting into free backlinks for you.

Looking for a way to build backlinks but with a FREE backlink tool ?

While affiliates are wondering how to improve their CTR (click through ratio) by adding different visual elements and by split testing different sqeeze page and all of that..

Many marketers are missing on a very powereful system, or tool, should I say, that allows you to figure out WHAT IS WRONG in a matter of a few seconds per day only.

Have you ever heard about the different website heat map softwares available online ?

Do you even know what a website heat map is ?

Basically, when an affiliate marketer, for exemple, has a heat map on their website, they can track, visually, EXACTLY where people clicked and dragged their computer’s mouse, on your website.

Let me give you a visual of this :

Isn’t this absolutely WONDERFUL ???

How would you like to know exactly where people went on your website SPECIFICALLY ?

Well, this is the exact purpose of these website heat map softwares.

It shows you what is catching your visitors attention, and also what visual elements that are being ignored by your visitors. Instead of split testing before you even know what worked or not, you can just tweak and change your hyperlinks for example, or a background color of a sidebar menu.

I am not saying you should stop split testing though, because having a website heat map helps with your CTR, but split testing will help to improve your convertion ratio, which is important.. So keep split testing !

And how much does these cost ?

I found different places charging up to 300$ per month, and some are even worst, but the place I suggest is called Clickdensity.com.

They are offering a free trial for only ONE page, but at least you get the feel of it.

After this you have two interesting bundles at 2.50£ and 10£ per month for a full website or 10 website heat maps.

I am not putting in any affiliate links, as I am not trying to sell anything, but you will have to agree that this is one pritty nifty tool to have into your arsenal, right ?

And stay tuned here, because within the next few weeks, I’ll try to post a very simple way to actually BUILD your OWN system to create a website heat map software or plugin for your affiliate website, for your own product website or even for your cooking blog ?!  But knowing what is going on on your site can only be good.

Talk to you later,

As you probably already know, in order for an affiliate business to be successful online, you MUST have traffic. And you can get traffic either by PPC (pay-per-click) advertising, or by ranking naturally on the search engines, by using SEO (search engine optimization).

Recent studies have shown a very important trend in terms of efficiency if we compare PPC rankings and SEO rankings on Google.

Unlike many marketers are thinking, the paid results from Google AdWords are not giving such a good CTR (click through ratio).

If anyone had to choose between the first PAID ranking or the first ORGANIC ranking, you should not even bother wondering for a second which one to choose.

Here is a display that shows the latest click trends from people using a “click heat map”.. I’ll show you what it is later.

Google’s CTR as of summer 2010 :

As you can see, the top and side PAID advertising are only getting between 2 and 3% of the millions of clicks on Google everyday.

On the other hand, the top 3 organic results are getting on average between 7% and 45% or all clicks on the first page in a day…

And by the way, results 4 to 9 are also getting 2-3% clicks, while #10 is getting 3-4% clicks. You just need to rank on the first page and you get as much clicks as if you were paying for those.. But for FREE.

Hold on.

Let me ask you this… how much have you paid into PPC in the last week, or month ? How about within the last year ? How about investing the same amount into outsourcing to build backlinks from social bookmarks and articles to your site ?

But the big question is..


Can you really rank #1 on Google ? And how to do it ?

Well, Good news !

Google is just in the middle of one of their big changes !

Every 2 to 5 years, the famous  Google algorithms are taking a spin and are focussing on a new different aspect of marketing to make sure that the top results reflects what the NORMAL PERSON would be likely to look for !

So using the Google toolbar, Google chrome and FeedBurner, they are able to notice the trend. And whenever they feel appropriate, they change their “winning formula” let’s say.

Let’s take a look at the different changes that Google went through within the last few years.

Google from 1998 to 2003 – The Link Revolution

Google’s first algorithm was simple but effective.

The more quality backlinks pointing to your site, the better you would rank. Every website has a page rank (PR) from 0 to 9, 9 being the ultimate reference online.

The more links you had coming from higher PR websites, the better you could rank.

Google from 2003 to 2006 – The Content Revolution

June 18, 2003, Google launched their Adsense program.

What they were looking for at this point, was to make sure good content was promoted on the listed websites, so they launched AdSense, a program that pays the affiliates for every click you get on those ads.

The only problem with that formula was that link and quality did not have anymore importance.

DUMB or DUMBER!

Because when something is too easy, there is always someone there to abuse of the system.

So the infamous spammers appeared.

If you were connected at that time, you can remember seeing TONS of websites that were just literally filled with AdSense ads and almost no real content, and yet they were ranking very well.

Because of this, Google’s results became GARBAGE basically, so they freaked out.

What to do then ?

Spin the wheel again, but since they knew what had been successful, why not going back to the linking importance, but with a bigger focus on QUALITY?

Google from 2006 to early 2010 – The Link Revolution AGAIN

This is the formula that was used up until only a few weeks or months.

Basically, to rank on the first page, you needed some quality content, but most of all some highly relevant backlinks, in a certain quantity.

It did make sense, but it didn’t take too long before the SEO freaks created softwares to generate fake automated posts on blogs, and automatically generated garbage articles that were copied and posted back online by thousands.

Which made the real quality websites harder to appear on the first page.

But here comes the NEW Google Rules

And just recently, with the incredible BOOM generated by the social media, Google just changed the rules once again…

And you might like this one, because it is relying on a system that milions of people are using on a daily basis.

Of course, you will always need quality content.

Obviously, you will also need some quality backlinks coming from related websites.

But they have added the HUMAN part to their algorithms.

You !

The third new but very important aspect to consider to rank high on the search engines is

ACTIVITY !

You are going to need :

• Some blog post comments
• RSS subscription
• Clicks leading to social medias as Facebook, Digg, StumbleUpon and etc…
• Active forums
• Opt-in subscriptions

In other words, the people on your website are going to need to INTERACT !

And it does make sense !

Because if the visitors on your website are coming in and out in a second, it clearly shows you have no good content.

But if someone sticks to your website and wants to share it with their friends and want to participate to your website, it is probably because you are doing something right !

And how many people do you know are using Facebook. Maybe we should ask the other way around, how many people do you know who are NOT registered to Facebook ?

Here you go ! Everybody is using social medias now ! So as an affiliate marketer, if you want to start ranking on the first page of Google and generate your affiliate sales, get SOCIAL !

And for this very reason, I invite you to comment about this new change in Google’s algorithms.

No autogenerated comments, no BS, just you sharing your point of view!

No back to my new SEO formula…
