Five essential steps to success

Today we will discuss some quick and very qualitative techniques for a very, very fairly good commission. Myself and my partners have used these techniques and continue to use them successfully, as they show high-quality results. Keep in mind, it is not long-term business, but an excellent method for obtaining rapid commission on sales. I would add that the conversation is primarily about working a business strategy. So, what do they mean? Let’s jump in!

All the technology can be divided into five steps:

1. Find a niche.

Particular attention is paid to niches, which have some problems that need solving. It is necessary as this is not Internet marketing.

2. Select products to promote.

For this step, usually choose something with your own preferences, programs like ClickBank, CJ, ShareASale, or whatever affiliate program you preffer. Of course, it is necessary to hold the standard in such cases the verification – how attractive and how popular is a product, if it gets a large amount of SE traffic, etc. All standard.

3.Create an attractive and informative landing website.

You must have a nice presentation website where a user can obtain informations about your marketed product. The website doesn’t have to be very complicated if you market a single product. Just a couple of pages with relevant information such that a visitor can red and make up his mind to buy the advertised product.

4. Sending traffic to your website

The most interesting part. We do not use Google and other SE to get traffic at first. There is a period of time that has to pass until your website will rank in SE`s. To start everything you have to do is find and use the places where people come together and discuss your chosen niche and its problems. Don’t limit yourself only on forums. You will make a big mistake.

5. Repeat all the above steps

You can start from scratch in a completely different niche, or continue to repeat the fourth paragraph for the already established website. You can do this by adding similar items to your website, or do some research such that you can include the most popular purchased products with the product you are advertising.

This is all for now. I’ll elaborate more on these steps in my future posts.

SEO: Capital Letters in URLs

Many people are surprised when they find out that the URL is case sensitive (in contrast with the domain name). There is no difference how you write your domain name, meaning that DomainName.com = DOMAINNAME.COM = DOMAINname.com = domainname.com and so on. All the possible combinations are equal and will return the same result. The difference is huge when it comes to addresses like domainname.com/page and domainname.com/Page. This depends thought on the OS that you have installed on your server. Linux is Case Sensitive while Windows not.

Suppose you have decided to promote the version with a capital letter (domainname.com / Page).You think it looks better and its easier to remember.

So what is there to be done to solve these problems? Here are our solutions and recommendations that you can use in order to skip penalties:

# Most will recommend you to keep a single version. We recommend that you always stick with the lowercase version.

# If for some reason the address with capital letters have already been indexed by google or other search engines (someone put a link to your site or you have changed the CMS, and it made some changes), use 301 redirects to redirect users and search robots to the correct address.
