Note: Despite I am using BlueHost, there are other host out there that uses the Fantasticobutton, then, if you prefer to use another host that uses Fantastico, then these instructions willstill work for you. 18 19. 1. CPanelCPanel is the best hosting software out there and the best hosting companies use it. Theversion of the cPanel that comes with Bluehost is 11. The management is highly user friendlyand any novice user can easily work with it.This is what I see when I log into my BlueHost account. That cpanel 11 is telling me that theyrun version 11 of the CPanel software(image above). 2. Click The Fantastico ButtonClick on the Fantastico De Luxe button. This will take you to the Fantastico navigationscreen. Dont worry if you dont understand what all of that means Ill walk you through theinstallation step by step in the following pages. Fantastico is not just for WordPress, it also hassupport for forums, polls, surveys, wikis and loads more. But for now what we want is WordPress which you can see on the next picture. So, click on'Fantastico De Luxe' button. 19 20. Once clicked on the WordPress button, you'll should see the following screen(image below).Dont worry, if anything goes wrong you can just delete it from this screen through the "Removelink" and start again. As you can see WordPress is at the top of the list, click the WordPressicon.On the next page you will get a short overview of the script and then an icon on the bottom toInstall Now. 20 21. 21 22. 3. Fill in the Required Information Ok, now you've access to several options. You can choose between several Wordpressversion, I recommend the latest stable version. 22 23.

That it! 24 25. Now you will have the latest version of WordPress installed. You will still need to use FTP clientto install your theme and all your plugins and then learn how to optimize it.

All you have to do is to go to the Bluehost web site,click on the Live Chat icon, enter the required details and your question. Usually, they repliedquickly. Instead, If you present an email ticket through the Bluehost Help Center, they replied to inapproximately 48 hours. There is also a Phone Support, this is also an excellent way to contact directly Bluehost andget a answer quickly. Generally, the Bluehost support is great, more better then other web hosting services out there,thus I will have no hesitation in recommending Bluehost to my friends and colleagues. 25 26. 7. Basic WordPress Administration The very first thing you should do is test the site out and see it live! Once log into yourdashboard at the top left, next to your site name there is a View Site link:Click on that to see what the site looks like. It will probably look something like this:Pretty ugly huh? Never mind, well get to that. 26 27. 8. Change Your Permalink Structure A permalink is a short word for permanent link. Every blog post and every static page andmany other items within WordPress all have a permanent link on your website. By default,WordPress uses a dynamic structure that simply allocates a page a number. In order to maximise search engine traffic you will want to ensure that the permalinks on yoursite have your keywords in them. Heres an example of a permalink: http://www.yoursite.com/article/ How to change your permanent link: From the Dashboard, click on Setting and then from thelower layer of the menu, click Permalinks: There are three main choices, none of which are suitable! Thankfully, you can also specify acustom setting which I have indicated in the above screenshot. In case you cannot see thatclearly, here is it: /%postname%/ What that means is that it will simply use the name of your page(title of your post) as the url. Now when I refresh the page I was looking at, my address bar has changed:Ahh, more search engine friendly. 27 28. 9. How To Choose A Website Template As Affiliate marketers, Ive tried several of free website templates a while back, but recentlyIve decided to buy a premium Wordpress theme that support more widget and allows me tosimplify time and works. Of course, free web site templates is all ok, Id admit that some are really well made, but mostof them are not adapt to working with affiliate marketing, at least not for me. They are notflexible as they should be, and do not allows you to modifying layout parts or change existingparts in several ways. For example, you can not do any of the following: change background colors, the type of fontand so on, in a few click as a professional theme does. Also, they do not offer any type ofsupport. Free is great, but have its limitations. However, to getting a professional web templates, the beautiful designs is not everything. Thisis a minor concern. There are other factors that you are need to consider and that affect yourwebsite success, such as, search engine optimization, readability, and functionality. Theme should reflect your topic and idee that you want share to your readers. So, if you arestill confused, about the professional theme you should use, you need to consider some points,first: A professional website template havent too many colors, but the colors are arranged todifferentiate the importance of your website content. On the other hand, the colors of the images inside your website should match the topic of yourwebsite. For instance, if you talk about money, the prevalent colors could be the green, while ifyour topic is about cabin rentals you could choose the brown as main color. As many of you know, for my three sites, the3dtechnologies.com, cabinrentalsideas.com, andnickdeiana.com, I make use of three different Wordpress themes, respectively Frugal, Thesisand Arthemia. One of the main reasons I use these professional templates is why they allows me to changemy layout look, change background colors, sidebar colors and so on, with a few click directlyfrom my Wordpress dashboard, and without have css or php knowledges. Another important point that a professional web template take in consideration is the searchengine optimization. Many of professional theme allows you to make your search page seo-friendly. In a few step you are able to add from your dashboard, meta tag keyword, meta-tagdescription and so on, in a simple and fast way. Remember, web visitors will run away from your website if your website has lesser chances toappear in search engine results because the web pages arent optimized. 28 29. Last but not least, a website template must be simple as possible. Choose simplicity overcomplexity. Your web visitors should be able to identify the topics of your website theme quicklyand then easily find what he is looking for at the second. Also, more simple your site is, morewebpages will load, quickly. In these case, I highly reccomend you to use Frugal theme. 29 30. 10.

Chapter 5: Make Money With Adsense1.Using AdSense And Make Money OnlineCan Adsense actually help your money grow, or is it a complete waste of my valuable time?Well, after my two year Adsense experiment, I can attest that, Google Adsense is one of thebetter, if not the better programs to making money online. There are many niches that always pull in the mega bucks than others, but in general no matterif you have a website about marketing, technology, sport, if you write every day and have a lotof patience, you'll be sure to get successful with this program. In a nutshell, Adsense works like this: An advertiser signs up for Google AdWords system, andcreates one or more advertisements that they want to display on Google's search result pagesor on "content pages". Each website or blog created by individuals or company, are able todisplay banner ads on their content pages. This system is also known as "pay per click" or PPCbecause advertisers pay when the ads are clicked by readers. 34 35. Websites get a percentage of the amount that the company pays Google for displaying the ad.For instance, if advertisers through Adwords pays $1.00 for each click visitors do, Google willpay a percentage of that amount to you, in this case, about $0.20. With Adsense you'll be sure to get a nice little check every month. Of course, you need to havehundred visitors a week, if you want make $30-$50 each week. Remember, increasingexposure to your website is the best way to increase click-though-rate, and your incomes, aswell. 2.Getting Started With Google Adsense Simple as pie. All you have to do is to sign up for a free account on google adsense homepage. Once done, you'll need to wait a few days before your site is approved(To start withAdsense you need to create a website or blog, but not every site is approved).Once approved, log into your Adsense account, click on "Adsense Setup", then "Adsense forcontent"(see image below) and you can start create your ad. Once gone on the "Adsense forcontent" tab, you can choose between different size and format options. Adsense give youmore control allowing you to choose the color, size, and fold you want that appear on your siteor blog. 35 36. As you can see on my blog, usually I use a med rectangle (300x250) on the top and sidebar ofmy home page and single pages. (Note: You are allowed to put up to three different ad unitwithin every pages). Alternate ads - The great thing about alternate ads is that when Adsense no display ads forcertain keywords, instead to displays public service ads, you can set to display advertising ofanother site or blog you want.Channels - If you want organize your AdSense results by Web site or by areas of your site,channels allows you to compare each format you are using, and see which work better. Ok, now you've done all the necessary to setting your ads, you can generate the HTML codeand copy it on your own site!3. Adsense Tips You Cannot Do Without If you've done a good job of building your blog, pulling your readers with magnetic contents,then you've a great chance to make money from Adsense. 36 37. It take time and efford to make a 4-figure income, but for those want to make additional incomefrom their blog, there's nothing more easier than add a piece of code on your blog and gettingsome nice income from it. Of course, as each thing, you do need to know some key strategies to optimize your ad bannerand boost your conversion. So, below I listed some useful tricks to add to your Adsenseesperience. They each have their advocates, and they can all work. 1. Colors and font - When you choosing the Adsense ad background, match them to the exactcolor of your page background. For instance, if your web site background is yellow, then yourad background is yellow, and so on. As you'll notice, in my site, I've choose #ffffff asbackground color, as my ad background color, as well. Also make sure to choose the colour of your banner headlines the same of your pageheadlines. Latest but not least, use the same ad text font of your pages. 2. Keywords - Create a list of the most popular keyword through keyword research tool suchas Keyword spy and put them inside your web pages. Adwords advertisers will pay high forhigh keyword. 3. Ad unit - Uses 5 link ad units wherever possible. They could increase your Click ThroughRate (CTR) than regular ad styles. If you want to check all the AdSense ad formats, then clickhere. 4. Integrate, integrate, integrate - Make sure that the Adsense banner be integrated into thepage of your site. You can see an example directly on my site. As you can see my 300x250Adsense banner put inside this article, it look like a regular part of my article. 5. Channel - Google Adsense offers two great ways that allows you to know how your Adsenseads works within your site, called "Custom Ad Channel and Google URL Channel". In particular, by creating a custom ad channel or an URL ad channel you are able to checkwhich URL page or Ad Unit perform better and where you need to make a few change, orwhether you should add ads inside the content on your right/left sidebar, header, and so on. Also, through Google Custom Ad Channel you make know to your Adsense advertisers whereyour ad will be place and more people will bid for your ad placement.

Increase your keyword density - Improve the quality of your content and contemporarlyincreasing your keyword density. So you increase your site's visibility in the search engineresults while is simple for Adsense to decide which are the ads to display on your web site. Forexample, if you want ads about mobile phone displayed, then make sure you repeat the wordmobile phone as many times as possible. 8. Choose Your best Ads colors - Adsense gives a panel control to change text colours,border colors and environment colors. I use: Border: #FFFFFF Title: #0000CC Background: #FFFFFF Text: #000000 URL: #008000 38 39. If the background of your site has a white colors, then the background banners must be white.Someone also use same color for the adsense text and url. I will experiment soon. 9.

In these years I tried a couple of different formats,and I came to the conclusion that an adsense banner(300x250) inside the content performsbetter. Making some little change in your Adsense layout could double your blogs revenue, do youknow?... and the result could be drastic. When I've started with The3dtechnologies I had nottotally understood how to add my banner Adsense within my site, and which Adsense formatand color will convert best for me. Adsense Theory Before to setting you banner Adsense you need to know two simple things that can be easilyimplemented into any Adsense monetized website or blog. The two theories are the follows: First, we all know that the ad with the highest paying ispositioned at the top of your banner and your purpose is that to putting it in the best possibleposition. Secondary, more Adsense units you use more competing you have for a click through. So, if you limit the number of Adsense unit then youve low number of ads served and increasethe chance that one of those ads will get clicked. Therefore, the theory is that an advertiser willbe willing to pay a higher rate for less competition. Using this two simple ideas, recently I'vemade some little change on my site. Put 360 x 280 Large Rectangle Below The Headline The first time I read the Adsense guidelines I've found that the 336 x 280 Large Rectangle or300 x 180 Medium Rectangle is the most effective Adsense unit. These banner are the most visibles and offers four ads related to the topic based. As you can see on my site I'vepositioned a 300 x 180 Medium Rectangle within the post content. I've placed my Adsense unit inside the content. The reason why I think that is the most effectivestrategy is because the majority of my site traffic come from search engines. Every day people 40 41. come to my site from search engines to looking for something. So when they land on my pageand see that its not the content they were looking for, so I want that Adsense becomes analternative where they land. Recently I've made another little change on my banner Adsense, here what I made: My old banner Adsense: 1. 336 x 280 Large Rectangle between the headline and content on the single page. 2. 336 x 280 Large Rectangle after the body of the post on the single page. My new banner Adsense after the change: 1. I left the 300 x 180 Medium Rectangle on the home page. 2. I removed the 336 x 280 Large Rectangle from any single pages within the content andpositioned it between the title and the body content. (See, images below) 3. I removed the 336 x 280 Large Rectangle after the body of the post on any single pagesToday, I checked my Adsense stats, but I have not noticed any improvement, yet. There's needseveral days before see if my income grow, its likely that Adsense take some time before toupdated the new ad format in order to be served on my site. I reccomend you to experiment and find out what works for you. In general keep your page lookcleaner and its likely to improve your revenue immediately. Another suggestions is that tomake your banner adsense blended with the site by using the color and fonts of your site. 41 42. 5. How To Boost Adsense CTR, My Experiment "Click-through rate or CTR is a way of measuring the success of an online advertisingcampaign. A CTR is obtained by dividing the number of users who clicked on an ad on a webpage by the number of times the ad was delivered (impressions). For example, if a banner adwas delivered 100 times (impressions delivered) and one person clicked on it (clicks recorded),then the resulting CTR would be 1 percent." Source Wikipedia Adsense within new sites can drop down the CTR value? If you have more then one site thatarent working well or however havent enough traffic, then it might be best to take Adsense offaltogether and a couple of weeks ago I did just that. I have two sites and one are just on hold for later use, that are getting enough traffic to makethis experiment. The two sites are both in the same niche. My strategy so far has been to useAdSense on the sites as soon as I start actively working on them. I always thought that if a site was well designed, and well optimized, then it should start gettingAdSense clicks as soon as any traffic comes in at all. In my view, it's not always true. That isfine as long as the site is converting well but as I have discovered, most of them are not. One thing I've noticed is that my first site I've created three years ago performing better thenmy new sites I've launched one years ago. So, my strategy was been to trying to removing Adsense from my recent site. Usually, I try toimplement only one change at a time, before make any evaluation. The decision to remove Adsense from my new site is matured as I saw that despite any attemptto increase my CTR(I've wrote an interesting article where I explain what you need to do toincrease your CTR value). in my site, I always got low values. The Result After a couple weeks, the result has been enough clear, the site that are performing poorly arestill performing poorly and my CTR dragging down, yet. The only positive thing I've noticed wasbeen an improve of my click-through rate, at least of 12% than first. That's it! However, I will try to make new changes. For instance, I want try using Mark Masons nicheAdSense themes as these are specifically designed for AdSense and dont have dates andother blog-related clutter. Conclusion In summary, I can say that the change had some effect. However, I think that these result alsodepend if you have sites with the same niche, and the same topic. What works with one won'tnecessarily work for another. Looking forward to hearing from you about if is better enable Adsense on the sites as soon asyou start new sites or not. 42 43. 6.

How To Use Prepop Offers To Build A Big Mailing List At this point probably you are asking how do you to built a list. I'm sure some affiliate marketersare going to get irritate at me for posting this for free. First, you need to make three things: 1. Create a Wordpress blog with Squeeze Theme. What is the Squeeze theme ofBlOGDESIGNS? Is a theme that simplify the process of making any type of change to yoursqueeze page(s). With a built in color-picker and the ability to change pretty much everythingabout the look, modifying your design can be done with only a few clicks. 2. Open an account with Aweber. What is Aweber? is an email marketing software to help smallbusinesses automate email follow up and email newsletter delivery. 3. Join to affiliate networks that offers prepop. I reccomends Shareasale, advaliant andMarkleverage.How Do Work A Squeeze Page? A Landing Page ExamplesFor this example, Ill be using the new Shoemoney system landing page. However, this ruleworth for every pay per lead affiliate offers. Usually, the prepop offers goes from $1.00 to $1.30per lead and is open to both email and search traffic. Look the image above of the Shoemoneysystem landing page. When Shoemoney created his landing page for his new system, he made the name and emailfield pre-popable. For example, once I send the page to mysubscribed(I already know his name, Nick and his email, email [email protected]), I would send him the following link: http://shoemoneysystem.com/?c=ttznet&name=Nick&[email protected] 55 56. At this point Nick clicks the link, hell be taken to the Shoemoney system landing page with hisname and email already filled in. Once Nick clicks on "Go", you will get your affiliatecommission. Affiliate marketers earn commission through offers similar this by sending traffic to the landingpage using Google AdWords. For instance, if the cost per click is $0.10, and the cost per lead$1.30, then you need one person enter his name and email address, in order to get thecommission. The more person enter their name and email the more money you make. That it! Thanks to Aweber you are able to automatically add user data to a landing page. After a visitorenters his email address and click submit on your squeeze page, you'll get the commission. Aweber and Squeeze Theme help you to create one strong mail list, and make 100% pureprofit! 6.

You can onlyuploading 2 column template logo(780 x 180 pixels) and a logo of the 3 column templatelogo(968 x 180 pixels). 74 75. 16. How To Add Some Content To Your eBay Affiliate StoreThis paragraph want be much about something of more important and go beyond mereinstallation and looks.One of the things that make your store different from others out there, is to create content foreach product you want to sell. You need to add unique content, titles and H1 tags to each andevery page. The way you want to do things is that to offer something to your visitors.At this point you could ask: visitors can always go to eBay instead your Niche Store. Its true,but in my view, if you add titles, H1 tags and a couple of paragraphs of content, you giveunique information that they can really use. Usually, this is one of the most overlooked thingswhen people opens a BANS store.In this example Im going to start with the first store page on the site entitled Apple Componentsand modify the title(Apple Components For Sale), meta keywords(Apple Components for sale,Cheap Apple Components For Sale, Components for sale) and description(buy AppleComponents) and add a couple paragraphs of content.You have already title, keywords, and a brief description put in place for you but you canchange this to fit your products more closely.75 76. Once you add your meta tags, you can add some unique contents to the bans store. If initiallyyou are unsure what to put in the title, keywords and description you can leave the default tagsand start being indexed with that value. I set any info about products in order to help visitor findtheir type of products.I start with an H1 tag at the top of content as the title of my contents. Usually, when I dont havecertain words in my vocabulary, then I use Wikipedia page as help in order I can put down afew bit of information on a specific product and write some short paragraphs. Thats it!17. Choose the templateThe Template area of the admin panel is where you can upload and modify your templates andthen select the one which you actually want to use for your new site. You can upload yourselected template or one of your available templates. 76 77. 18.

If gives you complete control over how the products that your store contains are displayedto both visitors and search engines. 78 79. 20. Case StudyThe site development uses one of the BANS templates, and covers all of the different gameimprovement irons available on the market. Our developed site thus "matched" our targetmarket providing insightful reviews about the different clubs available and the ability to view andcompare prices for these clubs currently listed for sale on eBay.com. 79 80.

Remember, increase exposure to your business is the best way toincrease sales.There are many ways to getting incoming links to your site. The better way is to use articlesmarketing in order to be indexed by Google. Article marketing is one of the fastest ways youcan use to getting traffic coming from major search engines almost immediately.In my experience, an article marketing should never be written to sell your site. Think aboutyour subject, and give your reader some unique information on a subject. This is the right wayto do article marketing and one of the most important things to follow.There are other countless opportunities out there to get link-back. Here, Ive listed someone.1. Backlinkspot.com allows you to search for blogs that have do follow comment. Once you findblogs in your niche, you can make relevant comments on a post.2.

Promotionof your site is considered bad from search engines.3. Directory are also a great way to get back links. One of the better list of free directories Ivefound is onewaytextlink.com. It includes more than 2000 directories in this list with a pagerankof 1 or above and with no reciprocal link required as well as paid web directories that do thesame. Dont worry for Google. Google will penalize only the site that borrows from the articledirectory.4. In the end, I also reccomend you to read Collin Lahays Link Building CookBook, a guide thatincludes a comprensive list of post about how to get free link-back. In brief, It help you toquickly find hundreds of places to get to link to you. 83 84. 24. How To Using USFreeAds.com For Get Traffic And LinksTo build traffic you can use a resource online called "USFreeAds.com", but also to get a fewmore incoming links to each and every BANS store you create. USFreeAds is a classified sitethat allows anyone that signed up for a premium account($9.95 per month) to putting as manyads as you want on his site.USFreeAds dont bring the traffic like Craiglist, but it allows you to get your links coming intoyour niche stores, and get indexed by Google for some key terms used in your ads.As I said before, with USFreeAds you can put any ads as you want. The only downside is thatits a slow process. You need to wait a couple of week before Google index your pages, while ifyou want immediate result Craiglist provide almost instantaneous benefits.How To Write An Ad On UsFreeAds That WorksBelow, Ill share my advices on how write an ad on USFreeAds that seems to work pretty well.In these month, Ive tried different format of ad and I can said that an H1 tagged headline at thetop that includes some keyword in it, works best then other. All you have to do is to write from2 to 3 paragraphs including a brief description of your product and add several link overdifferent pages on the Bans Store. Usually, I also add a picture of the product Im promoting inorder to getting readers attention. I have to warn you it takes at least a month to get your firstads indexed by Google, so anything you get before that is gravy.84 85. UsFreeAds, It WorthI dont see many bloggers or affiliate marketers talking about making money with USFreeAds.As I said before USFreeAds is a slow process, but $9.95 per month help me to bring me trafficto my Bans store.Chapter 9: Promotion Ideas1.
