Google AdWords shakeup - How to beat those minimum-bid blues

Google AdWords shakeup - How to beat those minimum-bid blues

I'd like to take the opportunity to revist the Google AdWords shakeup of mid-July. Many of you will remember the roasting I received back then for my blog post "What determines quality score?" — definitely not my finest moment! This time I've done my homework, conducted my research, consulted with experts, and now I'm ready to put my ideas out there again.

First let's do a quick recap: Google recently made changes to its Quality Score assessment algorithm. The quality score is determined by...

Viral e-books

Viral e-books

Hi guys,

One thing I talk about in my Affilorama lessons is creating viral ebooks. "Viral" sounds a bit dodgy, but all it means is that you create an ebook that people will pass around (like a virus, but a nice virus!) and use it to either drive traffic to your site, or generate affiliate commissions by embedding your affiliate link into the book.

"Whadda wha?" -- you say?

How about we demonstrate with an example. Check out this example of a viral ebook:

Full 6 part e-course

Full 6 part e-course

Hi Everyone,

Thanks for all your emails, regarding the shift to monthly membership.

One common email I have been getting from people is that they don’t know whether or not they want to sign up for a lifetime affilorama membership yet because they haven’t finished the 6 part e-course.

As a result of this, I've decided to make the full 6 part e-course available from the following link:

https://www.affilorama.com/6part

In order to give people time to have a look at the 6 part e-course, I'll...

Lifetime ending in 2 days!

Lifetime ending in 2 days!

Hi Everyone,

In 2 days time Affilorama lifetime memberships will no longer be available.

Due to the enormous amount of work that is involved in constantly adding new lessons, interviews, and doing website critiques for members, etc, it was inevitable that Affilorama would have to revert to being a monthly membership site.

It will still be excellent value as a monthly membership, and it will be $29.95 to begin with (probably $39.95 in future, depending on how much support time is required,...

Free seo transcript!

Free seo transcript!

Hi Everyone,

I've been very sick these last few days so I apologize for not updating my blog sooner.

I'll keep this short as I'm still not that well yet.

Here is the video transcript of the beginners SEO video (which has been recently added to the members area of Affilorama, along with advanced videos and a step by step workbook is about to be added).

This is for those of you who can't afford Affilorama, it's not as easy to digest as having the video lessons plus workbook etc, and the other...

Free alternatives to expensive software

Free alternatives to expensive software

Hey Everyone!

Some people have been asking me if I know any free alternatives to the software products that every internet marketer REALLY NEEDS, but that also happen to be REALLY EXPENSIVE. (Funny that!)

I've made a short list of a few that I use, have used in the past, or have been recommended to me. This is by no means an exhaustive list... just a good start.

A lot of the software I'm about to mention is open-source. Open source software is usually pretty high quality, and it is free...

More controversy

More controversy

Hey guys,

I just found a rather nasty post on a blog about me:

Link Expired

It's old news regarding one of my previous posts. Apparently I'm not a super affiliate because I don't know everything. Well if that's what a super affiliate is all about, then she's right.

Personally I believe being a super affiliate is about getting results and being able to help other people achieve success too. - Even if I am a bad speller!

If she was such a good affiliate, you'd think that she'd know how to run...
