I dont think my question was clear,i mean when i am an affiliate and i promote other peoples product, not *that* bad by the way,just telling them how its not a scam,by making some story.
One more question since i could not get it answered else where,If i create more than one page at blogger,squidoo,hubpages, and other pages like that linking to my own landing page,will it help improve my SEO? or is just one at every site is enough?
Hmm, never thought about that, but I guess it would help. You usually don't need that though... One thing you could do, is if you follow the article marketing in my course and gather long tail sub keywords for your articles... then you could have a squidoo lens, and link to three articles with this keyword as the anchor text. And no, don't link to the SAME article with different anchor's from the same hub page. Three different articles... So for example if you have 3 articles with 3 sub keywords and one main keyword in each, that would require a total of 12 links from hub sites (or other sites). With 3 links in each hub, that's 4 hubs. And then you'd bookmark the article with onlywire with the main keyword as the title (which becomes the anchor).
I really don't think you want to trick people into buying a product. Be completely honest and pick a decent product, and you will be rewarded with a low return rate. My main product has had less than a 1.5% return rate for me.
A lot of affiliates are like this, but its easier to convert something thats quality and it will end up with fewer refunds.
Yeah i agree with "wowhaxor" there... as most affiliates hardly buy what they promote anyway. But it helps to pick a decent product where the buyer will definitely take home something reasonable enough and you in turn will receive a low refund rate and you all live happily ever after
Yes, the more quality links pointing to your website you have the better, however, google and other search engines will count only a few links from each domain. For example if you have 1000 squidoo lenses and each links to your website, google will count only 2 links.
everything to do with sales is one big lie. we lie as a hobby, or for some - lie as a profession. On the other hand, if you give your visitors a fake description, buy the product, and see how it's exactly the opposite as you described - its almost a %100 refund, don't you think?
I have seen a lot of people promote several products on adwords using the call to action- ABCD product is a SCAM...Must read. I am not sure how many sales they make but they sure are using this technique.
I read somewhere recently that the average person lies 3-4 times per 10 minutes of casual conversation *@ryan - 'product x is a scam' campaigns are horrible from my point of view as a publisher. I HATE when affiliates do this to my product lines, even if it does work - so do 101 other graceful and positive campaigning styles. Some publishers like/allow it, some don't, over all bringing value to the product instead of uncertainty or negative curiosity is more favorable for me. EDIT: You should honor the product and endorse it properly without the need to be an ass, it just calls on more asses and sometimes you look up product x and all you see is SCAMSCAM BEWARE READ ME FIRST - It's just a bad buzz. EDIT 2: Why did you raise this thread from the grave? N.
I totally agree...I wouldn't allow it either. It can spread a bad vibe real quick. But it's really hard to track each and every affiliate. Some of them use strange means of promotion and often the publisher gets to pay for it.
