What are Affiliate Pay Per Click Programs
Copyright (c) 2008 Charles Boustany
There are basically two forms of affiliate pay per click programs. It comes down to what side of the fence you are on! In this article let’s take a look at the two types of affiliate pay per click programs.
1. First of all you can make money as an affiliate signing up advertisers for various pay per click programs. Bidvertiser is one of the most popular PPC affiliate programs online today.
The commissions you can earn are based on the dollar amount of promotions each time an advertiser enrolls and begin advertising just by placing a banner on your website.
Another way to make money as an affiliate with a pay per click program would be joining companies such as Google Adsense and Yahoo Marketing. You get paid every time a visitor clicks on one of their advertisers showing up on your website. This is what makes these affiliate programs great.
They make it easy for you by giving you a small code to place on your various web pages. Google and Yahoo are so smart that they can match the advertisers that they have with the type of website that you offer.
2. Another way to use an affiliate pay per click program is to become an advertiser yourself. This can be an excellent way to drive traffic to your website because of how quickly you begin to get traffic.
You can get traffic almost instantly once you have your campaign set up and running. Depending on your budget you can rank very high for quality keywords if you are willing to bid for them.
If your budget is little lower, you may need to bid on a higher number of key words and pay less for each click to drive the same amount of traffic.
We should note that pay per click advertising is not a form of advertising you want to jump into without doing some research. One way to ensure you do not overspend your budget is to understand how these programs work.
Both Google and Yahoo offer excellent training tutorials that are worth your time spending to learn the ropes. Obviously more advanced courses can be purchased. They’ll go into even more detail on how to most effectively create a profitable pay click advertising campaign.
These are a couple of ways you can utilize affiliate pay per click programs. There are many great opportunities online today whether you do it as an affiliate to create cash flow for your business, or whether you choose to become an advertiser yourself.

The New Ultimate Free Traffic Generator: Video Marketing – 6 and a Half Key Beginner Steps
If you were able to get a percentage of free traffic from 1 billion people to visit your site daily, would you do it now?
If there were 1 billion people visiting a mall daily, would it be a good idea to advertise your product/s there? What if these ads were free, how many ads would you put up?
According to Youtube, as of Oct 9th 2009, a shocking 1 Billion videos are watched daily on Youtube! Let me repeat that, 1 BILLION…DAILY! This makes Youtube the second most visited site in the world. Just Awesome!
In this article, I’m going to go through some simple steps on how to take advantage of this new, ultimate and free traffic generator called video marketing.
Let’s do it now.
Step 1: Content
You can find a topic to discuss in your video by doing some research on keywords the people in your niche are searching for in search engines. These are the problems your people are looking to get answers for. The keywords will be the main topic of discussion in your videos. Write a 400 – 700 words article that gives a solution to each of the problems the people in your niche are struggling with.
Tip: If you are already doing article marketing or blogging, you can simply use the same original articles as the one you created before. One article… three free traffic generation strategies. Nice.
Step 2: Equipment
Get your hands on a decent video camera, if you can get one that supports HD, even better. Video editing software can be gotten for free. If you have Windows installed in your PC, great, they have Windows movie maker. If you have a Mac, also great, they have iMovie HD preloaded.
Step 3: Audio
Next you will need decent audio. Using a camera’s built in microphone is fine, but not great. You will need to set it up so that you reduce echo at the place you are recording and ensure that your environment doesn’t disturb you with unwanted dogs barking in the background. If you want excellent sound, a little investment is needed for an external directional microphone (a.k.a. shotgun), or a lapel mic is good too.
Step 4: Action!
When recording, make sure you present yourself appropriately for your niche. Remember what your mom told you about first impressions. So look the part. Also, choose a background that is not distracting to the audience. Sitting at your desk or standing in front a wall is fine. If possible have something that represents your personal excellence portrayed in the back.
Try not to read off a piece of paper. This is your opportunity to connect with your people. So have it be conversational and full of energy. Starting out, have your video be no longer than 2 and a half minutes long because if its any longer, people do tend to get bored.
Step 5: Editing
Using your software to edit, be sure to create a brief intro and include your website address somewhere in the body of your video and also an extended shot of your website address (at least 6 seconds) at the end of your video.
Step 6: Posting Videos on Youtube
Go to Youtube and create your free account. Once done, you are able to now post a video for the world to see. Click the upload icon on the top right hand corner of your screen and follow the simple instructions. Remember, it is important to use titles and descriptions that are rich in the keywords that bring people to your site. Also, provide a link to your website in the description. This will give you some valuable backlinks to your site and also assist your viewers to get to your site easily.
Step 6.5: Video Marketing on Steroids
Think about it. If you can create just 2 videos a week for a year, you will end up with over one hundred videos a year. If one video can direct just one person a day on average to your website, that’s 36,500 free targeted traffic for you from Youtube.
Now, listen closely, what if you posted each video you created to 10 different sites similar to Youtube. You can potentially have 36,500 x 10 = 365,000 new and highly targeted prospects land on your website a year, for FREE. What if you can post it on 20, 30 or more sites! Now I think that’s Fantastic!
Results to Look Forward
Naturally, I have given you an overly simplified version of generating free traffic with videos, but it is enough to get you started. The most important part of using videos to generate free traffic to your site is consistency. People who watch your videos need to know that you can be trusted and you are in it for the long run.
Just let me tell you this, similar to article marketing and blogging, you will not see an instant rush of massive free traffic charging into your website immediately. However, what will happen is, just after a few short months of posting your videos, you will build considerable equity and trust with your viewers and position yourself as somewhat of an expert in your field.
In the long term, all your video posts will generate massive FREE traffic that never ends. Even if you stop creating videos after that, you will still continue to enjoy an awesome amount of FREE traffic from the few months’ of creating videos for many-many years to come. Work once, reap the benefits forever!

Optimize Websites To Attract Free Traffic
An absolute crucial part of website-building includes optimizing the website to attract free traffic. Optimizing your website can save you up to thousands of dollars in paid advertising. Even if you do not have high revenues, this can remain an asset to your website for a long time to come. If at some point in the future, you decide to sell, being able to show interested buyers your completely free search engine traffic will lift the perceived value of the website.
First of all you need to learn how to optimize your website to attract free traffic. I guess your first question should be, how do you go about optimizing your website to attract free traffic from search engines, such as Google?
One of the best ways in which to go about this is to setup link partners with other website owners in your particular niche. One way to do this is by joining a link exchange program, or you can search for willing web masters yourself. Be careful when choosing a link exchange program. Do a little research first or it could do more harm than good. You want a program that will get you links with partners in your niche and not too many too fast. Add them over time.
You can add link partners with low page rank in your niche but ultimately it will be in your best interest to set up links with high page rank websites that are related to your niche. It would also be a good idea to put your target keyword to optimize in the anchor text of your link that you give to link partners. Search engines will look at this when they are trying to determine what your site is about based on the link.
If you accumulate a larger amount of link partners, it will be good to vary your anchor text to several different keywords for your website, not just the one you want to optimize your website for the most. This will help you receive traffic for a number of keywords in your niche.
Another idea that will help you optimize your website for free search engine traffic is to run a complementary content-creation campaign. You can do this by creating new pages for your website based upon keywords that are receiving little traffic, but have no competition. This will help you to dominate all of the traffic for that given keyword and be ahead of the competition by being on top of the search engines.
That’s the basics of how to optimize your websites to attract free search engine traffic. Look for more of these articles to come.
To sum up, get inbound links to your website, create and optimize extra pages of your website for keywords that no one is competing for.

Internet Marketing the Secret
Have you ever been horrified and intimidated at the convoluted, jargon-reliant information about Internet marketing available on the Net?
Often it results in many companies becoming confused and therefore reluctant to put
into practice what would be a valuable and simple business resource when understood
and applied correctly.
Market Research consultant for Inteltab, Gordon Goodfellow, who is also an English
literature graduate, decided it was time for a change. Part of this desire to make
Internet marketing more accessible may be due to his past experience as a teacher.
"I was sick of all the gobbledegook that surrounds the Internet, even today," he
explains. "Marketing on the Net isn’t rocket science and should not be presented as such.
Everyone should have access to it. That’s the beauty of it."
Having spent four years researching and assessing the best way of getting an effective message across on the Internet, he began to design a basic introduction to Internet marketing. The result of this hard work is Applied Web Marketing. AWM is a comprehensive beginner’s guide to marketing on the Internet, covering everything from
domain names to e-commerce and merchant accounts, and written in plain English. This is designed for the small business user and the home business user who does not want to spend a fortune on outside "experts".
The key to most of Internet marketing is search engine optimisation. The key to good
search engine optimisation is keyword research. In other words, knowing which keywords or search terms people are using to find what they’re looking for on the Internet. If keyword research is done properly then there is no doubt that you will get highly targeted visitors to your website. This is obviously the professional way of going about things. It is the antithesis to the "spam" approach (unsolicited commercial emails) which achieves extremely poor results and simply annoys anyone unfortunate enough to be on the receiving end.
But which search engine should you optimise for? The search engine of choice at the
moment is Google. There are two good reasons for this. Firstly, Google is the most popular search engine on the Internet today. It is known for the quality and relevance of its search results, and so people trust it. Secondly, over the last couple of years Google has joined alliances with other search engines and directories. Yahoo, the world’s most popular directory, uses Google’s database, so if you have a first page listing on Google you are likely to have a first page listing on Yahoo as well.
AOL and Netscape also share Google’s search findings, so you’ll have similar search
results on the AOL and Netscape databases. Other lesser databases also rely on Google,
so that if you are well represented on Google, then you’ll be well represented on over sixty per cent of Internet search facilities.
You should also obtain a listing on the Open Directory Project (DMOZ.org) which is not much known about but very well respected in the search engine optimisation industry. The Open Directory does not use the normal search engine "spiders" or robot searchers; instead it uses over thirty thousand volunteer human editors who are ostensibly experts in their own fields. The theory behind this is that it ensures relevancy, accuracy and quality of all listings. A listing in DMOZ will therefore ensure a listing on Google and probably earn you an enhanced ranking there. Then all the others, like Yahoo, AOL, Netscape and the rest are bound to follow.
Optimisation is everything. The Applied Web Marketing website itself has the number
one position on Google out of 1.47 million search results for the search term "applied
web marketing".
After optimisation is the submission process. Perceived wisdom of the moment says it is best to submit manually. Manual submissions to dozens of search engines and
directories can be very time-consuming, however. There are some good automated and
semi-automated software packages available out there to do the submissions for you.
But for the major players do find the time for manual submissions. Some search
engines, for example Alta Vista, make it impossible for automated submission by
software programs, because of individualised text codes that must be entered by hand at the start of the submission process, so you have to submit to Alta Vista manually as well. But that just takes about three minutes.
Don’t bother with ads that say that they can "blast your web site to 500,000 search
engines". There aren’t that many search engines; there’s only a few hundred in total, and only about a dozen of any major importance. You’ll just pay your money and be very disappointed. Most of these so-called search engines are link farms, FFA or free-for-all sites, which nobody every looks at, and which are responsible chiefly for sending out spam. If you link to such web sites you risk being penalised by the bona fide search engines.
The next thing to have lots of is patience. A listing on Google should probably appear
within a couple of weeks if you have optimised your pages properly (incidentally, if you have multiple pages on your web site, as is mostly the case, it is important only to submit the index or home page, and let Google’s spider "Googlebot" to find and index the other pages itself using the links that you should have set up on your site.
The Applied Web Marketing guide has useful links to many resources, lots of them completely free, and to the submission pages of the major search engines and
directories, making it a perfect site to begin your journey into the world of Internet marketing.
