What kind of tips do you what and what do you already know about it and affiliate marketing on a whole?

Well.LOL.I have been at it since Oct..The most I was making was 300.00-340.00...every 2 weeks but that all came to a halt.Now I almost cannot get a sale a week..I am not sure what details I can post here about it,but I have a feeling I am doing ALOT wrong!..And I am finding it next to impossible to get any advice from others since it is so competative.....

I stickied you just now with some tip's but, for all else interrested, the bottom line is to do what the "top 10" sites in your KW's do (linking, number of sites, type of domain names an the likes). It takes time but, if you are really tring to make some good $$$ then you need to do like the others(who are making big$$$) do, it that simple. Out.

About the only tips you'll receive in a competitive industry are those that are pretty well known such as " go for 3-4 word keyphrases" "do a lot of keyword reseach with various keyword tools" etc. As far as I know, there are no hidden tricks/secrets, just a lot of hard work to be done.

"The most I was making was 300.00-340.00...every 2 weeks but that all came to a halt"

If thats what you were making off of "1" site then you were not doing to bad so don't feel bad about that, just make 10 more(somewhat) like it and that will be $3k a week:).

Let "thee" among who is without fault cast the first stone:). If everyone here never did anything wrong then there would be no need for this "GREAT" form. Now bring on the dance.

What happened? Did you get banned or did competition eat you up?

Sean, about when was it you got hit with the BIG PR0? Was there anything unusual you can think of that could have caused that?

Well Sean658 here's a tip that could've saved you some grief. Maybe not.

Diversify.

You need to prevent single mode failure. Use different sponsors, hosts, promote different types of products etc.
If you have enough sites don't link them all together. Maybe create groups of 5 sites. Each group should be themed together but don't link between groups. This way if you're "pushing it" a bit you're whole load of sites won't get taken down.

Where possible try to use includes or other time saving methods in case you change affiliates. Imagine changing 100's of pages if an affiliate goes out of business or you find one that pays much more.

Make really "dumb web pages". Simple, clean validated html.
No need for dhtml or Flash.

Just my 2cents.

Hi All,

I'm new to this niche as well. I appreciate your posts Teeco, etc. and would certainly appreciate any advice as well.

I noticed Google has very high-priced minimum bids even though some key words only have 5 or 6 bidders. Is it because they see a money-making opportunity and are just jacking up the minimum bid?
