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.

============================================
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



All the best
