About Me:
Hi, my name is William Eckard and I reside in the most beautiful country in the world, South Africa! If you don't know yet, our national rugby team, The Springboks, are the current rugby world cup champions, we thrashed the British Lions and we are also the current Tri-Nations champions (I am so sorry Mark Ling :-P)
I have been plodding along with Internet marketing for a few years now and then I decided to get serious some 3 months ago. I was fortunate enough to hear of Mark Ling through Mo Latif of Googlesnatch and that's how I landed on Affilorama. No regrets and probably the best support program available for anyone into Internet marketing.
Don't forget , we are also hosting the 2010 Soccer World Cup in South Africa and we are well on track with the preparation. Look forward to a very pleasant experience in South Africa! I decided to make this one of my mainstream Internet projects for the next couple of months and will be promoting accommodation for the world cup period (private properties, only quality properties owned by family, friends and close contacts - no surprises here for guests!). I know with the help of Affilorama it will be a huge success. The domain name has been registered as 20tenworldcupaccommodation.com but will only be live towards the end of January 2010. You are welcome to contact me or visit the site once live.
Here's to each and everyone of your's success. 2010 will be the year of abundance!

Need help with Google Analytics tracker HTML in Affilohost
Can someone please help me? I do not know much about HTML and that's why I elected to use the website builder within Affilohost (premium members) which does all the coding for me.
I am now trying to get Google Analytics working with my site and got the HTML code for the tracker from Google. They say:
"Copy the following code, then paste it onto every page you want to track immediately before the </body> tag."
I cannot find this in the website builder. Where do I look? I can see the </body> tag for some pages when I view the resource page live on the web.
When I edit pages within the website builder I do see some HTML but not closing the body of the page and I know it must be somewhere.
Any help appreciated - learning, learning, learning...

Re: Why such a difference between Yahoo! and Google?
Thanks Faradina. I understand about the algorithms, but just thought they'd be much closer in their measurement criteria. Thursday, March 11th, 2010
Why such a difference between Yahoo! and Google?
Have been slogging away with my website and basically the only real important SEO I've done was to build a relative Squidoo lens and submit my site to the search engines and a few directories. I haven't even done EZA and other article directories or serious back linking strategies, which I am ready to go for now.
I have used about 12 targeted keyword phrases and if I do a rank check (I use SEOBook's rank checker) all but one of my keywords are ranked with Yahoo!
It varies from # 115 to # 5 which I think is quite OK seeing I have not put in that much effort up to know.(7 in the top 20 - and the website has been live for only a month)
On the other hand I have, with Google, just 2 of the keywords ranked, one in position # 140 and the other 59.
This is my first experience with this and I thought there would be more of a similarity between the search engines ranking criteria? Also thought that Google loved Squidoo?
Any comments or help appreciated.

Re: How much can I trust Traffic Travis with volume?
I'd also like to see a reply to this. I have picked up the same issue even though I am using the free version. They also differ from the Google Adwords Keyword Tool. Thursday, March 11th, 2010
Re: Cannot watch Bonus Catch Up Webinar
Thanks - will try and uninstall flash player and download again. Hope that works. Friday, February 19th, 2010
Re: Cannot watch Bonus Catch Up Webinar
Thanks Faradina. Broadband in SA is not what it should be but never experienced such a lot of problems as I do now with videos. This one completely does not want to play. No buffering or streaming either.
Will download the latest version of Flash but I do not have much hope that that is indeed the problem. Thanks

Cannot watch Bonus Catch Up Webinar
Have been trying to watch the above in the Affiliate Blog Bootcamp area since it was placed. It doesn't seem to play. Is anyone having the same problem? Thursday, February 18th, 2010

PPV Traffic List Building Secrets
Nice article and to the point. Very important to build up a relationship of trust and integrity. I don't have a list yet, but I know that I only open emails/promotions from a handful of marketers. Why, because I trust their integrity and if I decide to buy, I'll buy from the one I trust the most. Commented on Thursday, March 11th, 2010
Writing for the Web, a Beginner's Guide
Interesting. Have never even heard of the "Wonder Wheel" - pretty much like the Google Keyword tool, just more focused. Thanks Mark. Commented on Monday, February 15th, 2010
10 Alternatives to Clickbank
Thanks Mark for the info. Let me try and be successful with one avenue first and then I'll tackle these avenues :-) Thanks.
Paul, you are going to feel overwhelmed because the info that Affilorama is giving us all is overwhelming!
If you are very new, I suggest you first forget about making money quickly and set yourself up to obtain all the knowledge you can possibly get. All that knowledge is contained in this Affilorama site. Work through the whole site step-by-step, even if it takes you a couple of weeks. The picture will soon become clearer and when you are ready to start the process and you still get stuck, use an appropriate forum to get help. Nobody will laugh at you.
Also consider signing up for Affiloblueprint or premium membership which will give you more guided and step-by-step instructions and plenty of tools to use. I can assure you it is worth every penny.
Good luck
William

Affiliate Summit Lessons Learned
Thanks for sharing. Interesting facts.
Two things come to mind. Firstly, like all business, start at the bottom with a low budget (natural ranking), make some money and plough back the money into your business. (PPC and more). I am willing to take a bet that these 8 figure earners' PPC expenses are all 6 or 7 figures, or am I wrong?
Secondly it makes sense that PPC gives them better results. Why would Google allow a natural ranker to make more money than one of their paying customers? Surely they have it sorted in their measurement and ranking criteria, or else PPC would have been long gone?
It will be interesting to see some feedback on your research and once again I got some insider information from Affilorama. Thanks Mark.
