Super Affiliate Marketing – Step It Up
When I started this post, 4 hours ago, things where really quiet in my house as my grand kids where asleep. The youngest, Christian, was under a ton of blankets and my oldest, Michael was sprawled out on the floor. That gave me a few minutes on this lazy Sunday morning to reflect on my years online, my successes and failures, my expectations and where I want to be next. Now my grand kids are up, fed and watching Spongebob while playing Wii…
It IS a kids life after all! 
I didn’t get my post live this morning but I did get it written almost before the grand kids got up. Well folks here it is:
I’ve been concentrating my efforts more on affiliate marketing lately, affiliate ‘niche’ marketing to be exact. I have a bunch of niche blogs and websites that earn a few hundred dollars per month, and I couldn’t be more thrilled with that! But, just a few years ago I was a major player as an affiliate. I had a lot more time to work the Internet and now I am wondering what happened to my life that has changed that so?
I believe 2011 will be my year to ‘step it up’

Work At Home Mom Scam Hits Facebook
I wish affiliates would look into these so called get rich overnight CPA offers a little closer. This morning after logging onto FaceBook I found a link to one of these Work At Home Scams - Mom Makes $8,795 Month Part-Time. I knew what it was the moment I saw the spam comment. I looked for the person who had posted the ’comment’ but couldn’t find it again. If someone can find this information please let me know.
This is the same sort of Work At Home Google Scam that hit the online advertising space last year.
Blog Post May 25th 2009 Is Working Online At Home A Goldrush Scam?
Here is the link to the newest fake news site advertised by a facebook user, you will have to copy and paste since I am not given this website the courtesy of any link juice.
Hot Linkers Suck Are Your Links Being HiJacked?
Yes! Hot linkers suck. They copy your links to your download pages, zip files and eBooks and give them away as a courtesy to their visitors. One of my oldest domains had been dedicated to giveaway information and download-able files, software, zip files, eBooks and the like for many years now. And it has been a hot bed for hot linking thieves.
Hot linking is when a domain owner offers free or paid products but doesn’t host the aucual files themselves. To save web space or time and energy they link directly to your download page or directly to the zip files on your site. It saves them a purchase and makes them look cool to be offering all these free downloads.
There are others out there that like to share your download page or zip files with their buddies. There are special forums and member sites online created just to share and pass links to other peoples products, especially paid products. They share log-ins and passwords also.
The Value of Anchor Text
SEO and traffic building are some of the most important concepts of creating a good website today. Anyone serious about improving search engine rankings should focus on anchor text they are using while building links back to the website. Anchor text is the keyword phrase you use when linking from some other site to yours, and gives the reader a description about the link destination.
Or simply put, it is the hyperlinked text that is visible to your readers.
Let’s say I wanted to link to Free Spongebob Videos (a site I put up for my grandkids)
I could use - Free Songebob Videos click here
Or I could use… I created a free video site for my grandkids so that they could watch spongebob anytime they wanted to. When you hover over the click here link what do you see? And when you hover over the link “I created a free video site for my grandkids” what do you see?
This is the value of using anchor text, the hyperlinked text that is visible to your readers.
