About Me:
I am 33 and new to affiliate marketing
been taken by a few scams, wish i had found this site first
Since joining Affilorama, I have started to see some success online. I have even taken to starting a blog in the IM niche, using my experience in customer service to help people with building better relationships online. I have found that although you do not see your visitors, you still need to apply the same principles online as you do offline.
Check out IMRelations and let me know what you think. Make sure you leave any questions you have. We are all here to help each other be better at our marketing.

Re: Articles for article directories
yes, every article, whether for your site, or for linking, needs to be keyword optimized the same. good luck. Thursday, January 14th, 2010
Re: Question about review article
I agree with Frack. One thing I do is once I choose a merchant, I send them an email introducing myself and THANKING them for the opportunity. I provide the url to my site, using apage where I am promoting their product.
YOu would not believe how much they appreciate someone doing that. Often, I dont even have to ask for a review copy. They offer it to me.
Take the time to build a relationship with the affiliate managers, and they will help you. They will appreciate someone taking the time to get to know them and not just asking for something for free.
Now, this does not ALWAYS work. Everyone is different. However, the more you give, the more you will recieve.
Look in the lesson notes for AB. Mark included a letter that you can use to model your own for requesting a review copy. I believe it is in week 3 notes.

Re: Why follow the blueprint?
Great info Mack thank you for sharing. The Affiloblueprint is a great action plan to success. it will show you how to start without all the confusion many other programs cause.
However, if you do not follow it, you will struggle. Focus and get one site working. learn not only how to do everything, but why as well. once you understand why things work, you can discover new tactics that will work as times change.

Re: Minimum keyword search volumes?
that will depend upon your niche, and what you are writing. For my 30 page sites, I stick with 1000 or more, for blogs I go as low as 400/month, since I will be posting regularly and will eventually have loads of pages.
Just make sure that you choose keywords that are specific, and targeting people who want to buy something. Product names are a good example. you may only get 500 searches/ month but if someone is looking for the product, they probably want to buy it.

Re: Other ways to see if a keyword is profitable
for specific keywords, check the google search like you said. Honestly, it is the easiest way to see if others are making money. You can also check this with TT under PPC analysis Sunday, January 10th, 2010
Re: Help! I am stuck
1 yes sign up for their affiliate program on their site. most merchants have tools on their affiliate page that you can use to promote them. Use the hoplink generator at clickbank to create cloaked links.
2 it is great to promote multiple products from one site.
On my relationships site I have several products from Meet Your Sweet.com ( one of Mark's sites, great products) It is a great way to build a relationship with a merchant. If their products are worth promoting, use them.
That being said, I do recommend you promote products from at least 2 different merchants. that will keep you from looking biased to one company.

10 Alternatives to Clickbank
Thanks a lot Mark. I am always looking for some diversity to get promotions going. Although I like Clickbank, some of their products are just not worth it to me, and this gives more options to find good products to promote. Commented on Friday, February 12th, 2010
Relevance – the seemingly obvious but often forgotten rule of marketing
it all comes down to knowing your market and what they would be interested in. Look at everything from the visitors point of view.
Recently saw a site targeted to men with adds for designer handbags. Most of the guys I know who would be interested, would never be on that sight.
