#573 APn: How my rankings bounced back

Associate Programs Newsletter #573 - May 30th, 2014.


I've just spent the last 3 days at Search Marketing Expo
(SMX) in Sydney.

They put on a good event with some of the best SEO minds
in the world attending.

Over the next few weeks I'll share what I
learned so you can apply it to your business too.

In the meantime, I've got some news on the ranking
debacle, a 24 hour offer and a post on how to increase
your email opt-ins.

I hope you like it.

1) How my rankings bounced back
=========================================================

I created a bit of a stir last week when I showed how one new
affiliate link that I added to my site killed my rankings.

Well I've got an update for you.

A couple of guys gave some sound advice in the comments on that
post and it turned out to be true.

Read all about it here:

2) A 24 hour offer - be quick!
=========================================================

You might have noticed that I've been testing a few different
bonuses on products. I like to see what resonates with people.

This week is a doozy.

If you have been thinking about trying out bizXpress (or SBI!)
then now is the time to pull the trigger.

Both are amazing business building tools that will help you
navigate the noise and provide structure for you to
build an online business that produces income.

When you sign up with either of them on an annual plan before
the 1st of June through my affiliate link, I'll set you up
with the following bonuses.

a) A 12 month SpeedPPC subscription (worth $924).
b) A 30 minute phone call with me where you can ask anything
about starting and growing a successful online business.
(worth $300)

Total Bonus Value: $1224.

That's pretty awesome when you consider that bizXpress is only
$149!

For SBI!:

If you want to talk to someone on the phone about either of
those products, give them a call here:

Once you've purchased, just email me back and I'll set you
up with your bonuses and organise a time to jump on a call.

Remember, this is just for the next 24 hours or so.


=========================================================
3) How to increase your email opt-ins
=========================================================

Email marketing can be the backbone for any online business.

It's that dependable friend (if you treat it right) that
you know you can count on. Forget about algorithm updates,
that list is yours and how it reacts is up to you.

But how do you grow that list?

I've learned a lot over the years about how to grow your email
list and I'm sharing the exact strategy I'm rolling out on the
new AssociatePrograms site.

It uses a 3 prong attack focusing on:

- Getting more attention to the opt-in offer.
- Increasing the conversion rate for opt-in once we have
attention.
- Leveraging the opt-ins we're getting to get more opt-ins.

See if the advice I've written helps you build your own email
list faster.

#571 APn: How one affiliate link killed my rankings

Associate Programs Newsletter #571 - May 14th, 2014.


This is important stuff for affiliates.

If you rely on organic search traffic and you promote
affiliate programs on your site, check this out.

I have a simple site that I left untouched for 12 years and
it consistently ranked well over that time.

Then I made one simple change.

I added an affiliate link and the rankings tanked.

Could it happen to you?

Find all about it here:

I would love to get your thoughts.

Thought for today: Know your enemy
============================================

"If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear
the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not
the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a
defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will
succumb in every battle.".

- Sun Tzu

#570 APn: Phew! I've finally finished it. What do you think?

Associate Programs Newsletter #570 - April 8th, 2014.


Today marks a milestone for us.

AssociatePrograms.com has been around for a really long time in
"web" years.

If "web" years were as long as "dog" years, it would be 112 years
old.

Thankfully, unlike humans or dogs you can make a website look
brand new with a bit of work.

OK, well maybe you can do that with humans to a certain
extent. :)

Anyway, over the past few months we've been burning the midnight
oil to take tens of thousands of pages of content and migrate
them to a brand new site and platform.

Instead of using a mishmash of different software to run the
site, we've finally combined it into one unified platform.

Plus it works beautifully on mobile devices as well.

So we now have a true affiliate community site where you can post
comments, add affiliate programs, participate in discussions and
connect with other people no matter what device they are using.

I'd love you to come over and check out the new site and let me
know what you think.

It has just launched here:

http://www.AssociatePrograms.com

You can see how it has evolved over the years and leave a comment
