Re: One way links
Renato,
Cheers for the heads up on the technique.
I personally haven't tested it - but I'm going to have a play for sure. Looks interesting and with good potential at least until it gets exploited in big numbers and the roof caves in.
Regarding the question on on way links: ditto Mark.
Cheers!
Jeremy.

Re: How to Check if an Article is Written Well
Hi kenlui,
Three articles is a good start, but you're going to be needing a few more to crack the renewable energy niche in a significant way.
To check if an article is well written, get yourself in a readers mind-set and critique it, or better yet, ask someone to critique it for you. Rule of thumb is that if its not supplying the reader with the information they're looking for, then its not going to be doing a lot for your affiliate marketing strategy either.
Does the content of your article directly reflect the title?
Does it present new, interesting, controversial, exciting or evocative ideas or news? If not, does it present referenced facts and other information?
Is it as near to grammatically correct as you can get it? Have you eliminated all spelling mistakes? Punctuation?
Regarding your note about “not being able to write more” - Soldier on! Many users have reported that around the 7 to 10 article mark writing starts to become a lot “free'r”
paulinefojas's suggestion of buying and reading up books on "Renewable Energy Sources" is an excellent recommendation.
Keep your head up and good luck!

Re: Another Getting Indexed Question....
My personal view is that article spinning should be implemented as part of an "overall" strategy. You shouldn't get banned for using a quality spinner but I, personally, would never use it as a sole source of content supply. The less you use spun content the better, but as always its a balance between quantity, quality, attractiveness to visitors and the ability to sell your affiliated product. Take all these things into account when having that final read. But as for being banned - if your content was original to start with - no it is very unlikely.

Re: Information About Redirects
Unfortunately time can be a factor as well
The more quality links you have coming in from independent sources (different ip blocks, servers, domain names, owners, countries... etc) the more "authoritative" google will see your site, and you should find that your listings appear faster. I would recommend building up your link numbers from other websites. Try some of the techniques i posted in this thread seo/another-getting-indexed-question-t3248.html.

Re: Another Getting Indexed Question....
"I'm so sick of writing about flippin' hemorrhoids!"
Forgive me, I had to laugh.
Keep your head up! Be persistent!
Google is always shifting its position toward quality.. always quality. Article spinning definitely has its place but consider this in the early stages of your campaign: You want to attract links. You want your content to be linked to. You want google to see your site as "authoritative". Just to throw a slightly different angle on things here, but put yourself genuinely, honestly in the shoes of the person who is looking for the product you are promoting...
For arguments sake, lets say i have hemorrhoids. (I don't)
I'm going to go to google and type in "get rid of hemorrhoids". (and many different people would type many different things)
It's googles job to present me with a list of resources that it believes would BEST give me the information i'm looking for. I weighs up things like the page title, headings and content, page age, amount of people linking to it, how authoritative the people linking to it are on this subject and many more. Its your job to show google that you are BEST suited to being presented in these results.
I see a website that promises that it can "get rid of hemorrhoids". I click on that link.
On the site I am presented with a brief, but informative article about how to "get rid of hemorrhoids" written in a professional way - recommending a tried and tested product (your affiliate product).. etc etc.
Producing a professional, authoritative website is an excellent start.. Traffic will come by being persistent.
Have you tried any of these techniques?
Frequently posting (a few a night) on relevant health forums (that allow non-nofollow links in your signature)
Offering to write guest blog posts on relevant health blogs.
Starting a hemorrhoids help group on facebook
to name a few.
Be patient and whenever promoting always weigh up whether what you're doing is likely to appear before the eyes of your target market. Always try to establish links from related sources. Make your marketing strategies from a point of view that they will be genuinely beneficial for your target market.
Hope this put some fuel on your fire!

Re: Looking for Link Exchange Websites
Here are a few rules I always weigh up when judging a potential link partner:
Quality over quantity.
Relevance and, but not over, pagerank.
One way in-bound links over reciprocal links.
Relevant anchor text in the link.
Stay away from "bad neighborhoods" (sites that utilize unethical practices)
Literally any website that ticks the above boxes is a good potential link exchange, or even better, just link, partner. As for suggesting good link exchange partners, it all depends on the content of your site. The benefits of 7 good inbound links will far outweigh a thousand bad ones. Use google to identify potential partners and submit your site, or email the website owner.

Re: Domain Name Coventions
To throw my two cents in.
Just to jump back to basics for a second: .com = commercial, .net = network, .org = organisation
Where does your site fall under? Probably commercial. Therefore a .com is the most appropriate, and in my opinion and experience, likely to serve you in the most beneficial way ;)
Do you need your visitors to remember your domain name? (Is your website a company site?) If so, pick something that will be easy to remember - dashes can cause complications.
If you're using your website for the purposes of obtaining online traffic - find a short domain that includes your website name, and if possible includes your primary keyword. Keep it as short as possible. If you're launching a new site that is trying to target a specific keyphrase then brand your website under that name and obtain the related domain, with or without dashes depending on whats available.
There are much more important factors to dwell on other than obtaining a keyword stuffed domain name if we're looking at it from a purely SEO perspective.
