As many of you know, I am a 16 year old affiliate marketer. A lot of people are more interested in talking to me about my age or how much money I make– than the techniques I use to do it. It’s true that I usually make a six figure net (not gross) income each month, primarily through PPC. But were I someone else wanting to get their start in affiliate marketing, I’d be more ...

Posted by randfishSEOmoz member Michael Janik wrote to me last week and asked about how to optimize for multiple word order search phrases. I think it's an excellent topic, and one that we haven't covered well in the past. The issue arises from keyword phrases that receive search queries in different formats, for example: Restaurant Reviews Seattle Reviews Seattle Restaurants Seattle Restaurant Reviews Looking at the search results, each of these queries produces different ordering ...

When Firefox 3.0 was officially launched last Tuesday, I updated my copy of Firefox and installed a few select browser add-ons. This included my normal batch of add-ons like Firebug, YSlow, Delicious Bookmarks, and a recently discovered Quartz inline PDF plugin (nifty!). Then I found out about Feedly. Feedly is described as “a more social and magazine-like start page.” Feedly taps into RSS aggregators like Bloglines and Google Reader and socially-oriented sites like Friendfeed and ...

If you scan through the television dial long enough you’ll likely find a program dedicated to flipping houses. In these shows you’ll be introduced to someone who finds a bargain on a run down house and envisions what the house could be like and what it might be worth on the open market. They spend many hours cleaning, fixing, painting and bringing in new products. In some cases the ‘flipper’ spends more time and money ...

Google Analytics may be free, but it is still based on proprietary technology - which means you only ever get reports on the things that Google thinks are necessary and some of those reports are aimed at people using Google's other services (managing campaigns on AdWords, for example). Further, using Google Analytics means that you're tied to Google's TOS. Enter Piwik, which aims to be an open source alternative to Google Analytics. It is closely ...

Here's a new curve for you: I'm calling it the passion/pop curve. That bell curve to the left represents acceptance by the focused/excited/tastemaking community. Those are the people who love microbeers and haute couture and Civil War memorabilia. Like all market curves, there's a sweet spot. Go too nutsy on us ($90,000 turntables, for example) and even the committed will flee. Go too pop, though, and we'll avoid you as well. Simple example: Jazz. If ...

Posted by Eric EngeOutbound links play a critical role in your overall linking strategy. This runs counter to the philosophy that used be popular in the industry, that of hoarding PageRank. You do read less about the notion of hoarding PageRank these days than you used to, but I still think that many publishers do not fully understand why outbound links are important.

This is a truth of the Internet: When traffic comes to your site without focused intent, it bounces. 75% of all unfocused visitors leave within three seconds. Any site, anywhere, anytime. 75% bounce rate within three seconds. By unfocused, I mean people who visit via Digg or Stumbleupon or even a typical Google search. If your site is spammy or clearly selling something, the number is certainly higher. If you’re getting traffic because you have ...

So here’s an interesting concept: Is Twitter more effective than RSS subscribers for your branding? We believe the answer is yes. Twitter is a quick and easy ‘hack’ to get your name out there. While you still get your opinion through to people, it doesn’t require the reader to go through a ton of posts on your blog, it’ll only take them 2 seconds to read your 140 characters on a twitter notification.
