linkshare affilate marketing

Linkshare is a good affiliate network that is free to join. This, along with quite a few other things I wish I knew about over two years ago. If you blog and want to make money you have to think about more than what you find fun to write about. You also must think about what you can sell! Link share gives you the many affiliates who want you to blog about them. Each affiliate program has it's own affiliate terms and conditions. Later I'm going to talk about what can stop your blog from becoming part of an affiliate program. For now I will tell you that if you are not accepted to an affiliate program contact the company and ask why! There may be a misunderstanding. According to linkshare each affiliate program is willing to work with you to make your blog work for both them and you. I have one message now asking a corporate office what's wrong with mine, so I will find out if this is true. Making online income is a struggle for anyone. Perseverance is the winner every time. Meanwhile I'm getting ready for Memorial Day weekend. My brain needs the rest.

Blogging principles done right from the beginning

This is the stuff I wish I had known months ago

When you set up your blog always but always label your url starting with www. If you don’t when people look for it by name and start the search with www they will not pull up your blog. If you do the search engine will pull up your blog whether they start the search with www or not! That’s just the way search engines are. It doesn’t have a big impact on your rank but better safe than sorry.

Labels are so important to a search engine they are a must have in every blog you start. Get the label gadget in there right away when you set your blog up. After writing your posts make sure to label them! This is where your knowledge of good key word use is of utmost importance! You have to make sure those labels are directly related to what your website is about as well as the preceding post. The more labels you have the better. For example: a blog about cooking would have labels referring to the cooking technique used, the food cooked, etc. My goal for my diabetic smoke house blog is to present recipes for the family with a diabetic in it without preaching about what is good or bad for us diabetics. There are few labels that direct to a post about diabetes. Cooking and eating should be fun and enjoyable and not centered around the fact that someone is diabetic.

I told you that story to tell you this story: Back links are essential to a high website ranking. Anytime you find a website that relates to yours in any way, refer to it! Refer to your other blogs if they relate to each other.  Redundancy is a positive term when writing your blog. Unlike general use of language, redundancy in a blog makes it rank higher!
