The time has come www.virtualaffiliatetrainer.com has been launched, there have been a few delays along the way but with such a sound idea with tons of potential, you expect the creator to be sure everything is up to standard and working properly before launching. The last outcome any new website needs is a bad start, that could cripple a website forever.
So what have I been doing since my last post? Well I have done quite a bit on my project, not as much as I wanted due to family life and work commitments but its definitely all taking shape now. Lets have a look at what I have achieved since my last post and I will explain the reasoning behind what I have done.
I have spent the majority of my time getting my review site of www.virtualaffiliatetrainer.com up and running. Its located at the main domain of this blog www.affiliateprogrammarketing.net. I am going to be using the review site for the SEO part of my project, where I’m using stompernet’s and Brad Callen’s SEO products. I have design the site to be search engine friendly by using the techniques outlined in their SEO products. I have designed the website by using tables in front page, I did this so the first part of the website the search engine spiders crawls is the information that is relevant to the keywords I am aiming to rank with the search engines. I have also wrote my website title and description around my keywords so the search engines will know exactly what keywords I want to rank for.
What I have done to my website so far is referred to as on-page SEO by the experts. What I am basically doing is making my website search engine spider friendly, so when the search engine’s spiders my site they will find it easier to locate the relevant information they need to index my site.
I have design the website to control how the page ranking is filtered out through the link on the site. What do I mean? First let me explain how page ranking is shared between websites. When you link to another website some of the ranking of the web page your linking from is passed through that link. The ranking of a web page is shared evenly between all of the links on the page. So for example if you have a ranking of 100 and have 4 links from the web page, each link would carry a ranking of 25.
Stompernet explained it best in my opinion. Image your web page is a bucket, the water going into the bucket is from your SEO effects. The outgoing links are little holes at the bottom of the bucket that the water runs out of into other buckets, which are pages on both your site and other people’s.
So when I say “control how the page ranking is filtered”, I am referring to blocking those holes in the bucket were I don’t want the water to go. See, not as hard to understand as most of the Gurus would make you think. In later posts I will cover the techniques I am using to control the ranking flow on my site and if those techniques actually work.
I have also submitted 4 articles to various article and ezine sites. I wrote these articles around the keywords from my list of 40 targeted keywords. I have shared the outgoing links from the articles between this blog, my review site and the site I am promoting. The reason I am linking to this blog and my review site is so that I can build some one-way links for SEO purposes. When I am fully up and running I will be concentrating on getting link partners for one-way links, which will give me most of my ranking for the search engine. “Every little helps” and those links from my articles could mean the difference between top ranking and 5th ranking.
Finally, I have completed the research for my ezine advertising and have identified 10 ezines that I would like to advertise with and contacted the owners to find out more information about them. I am making sure that the ezine owners have a good relationship with their subscribers as I do not want to waste my money with an ezine owner that will only try to sell to their list. If the ezine owner has a good relationship with their email list, my advert will have a better chance of being read. The key to ezine advertising is the more people reading my advert, the more people will click on my link meaning the more money I will make at the end of the day.
