Evaluating the Forex Niche
By Deb | Aug 18, 2009 Wow! What an education! My last post was when I had decided to enter the forex niche. Seemed like it would be no big deal and the adsense payouts would be high. Not so simple! I built a site with adsense and a clickbank product for monetization. I have posted new content almost daily. I have identified some long tail keywords that I should be able to rank for — they get a reasonable number of searches and are lower competition. And I’ve gone about bu... Read Full Story

Why I Recommend XSitePro
The first websites I ever built were created with XSitePro web design software v1.0. I purchased the software on the recommendation of many other marketers, most of whom said it was super easy to use right out of the box. Well, I found I had a little longer learning curve than that, but for the most part had little trouble getting a website up and running. Read Full Story
Web Hosting Merry-Go-Round
By Deb | Apr 22, 2009 Wow, web hosting is something else!  I’ve been going around in circles this week. Because I’m creating a lot of niche affiliate sites, I have hosting with a number of different companies.  I prefer to spread the sites around a little bit for the sake of inter-linking and in the event a server goes down for awhile.  That way, just some of my sites will be offline but not all of them. Just after the winter holidays, Dreamhost came out with a great promotio... Read Full Story
Promoting Niche Affiliate Sites
I published my first press release this week.  That feels good. I wrote it to promote one of my niche affiliate sites.  I’ll be interested to watch for results in traffic and search engine placement, but it’s probably a good idea to get another press release going while I watch. Read Full Story

Download Any Video - Video Catcher Pro
By Deb | Mar 24, 2009 You know how you watch a video online and decide you’d like a copy of it on your hard drive so you can watch again in the future?  And you know how some folks make their videos available for download and others don’t? I’m not talking about YouTube videos here.  Membership sites often have tons of video training but only allow streaming online.  I also find there is a treasure of information provided in videos used in the big time product launches o...

Focusing on Niche Affiliate Sites
There is a lot of activity in my internet marketing world these days.  My primary focus is on building niche affiliate sites.  I mentioned last week that my goal is 50 sites by June.  I’m still not getting a sense of urgency, though, that compels me to put in the necessary effort and focus to accomplish that big of a goal.  What could that be about?  My back just isn’t to the wall — yet?

Keyword Research — Here’s What I Learned
I have been doing a ton of keyword research lately. Clearly every marketer has a preferred method. I’ll admit, it took me a long time to catch on to how to do keyword research effectively. When I first built some of my websites, I did not know much about targeting keywords. Now I’m going back and doing some of the research I wish I’d done then, to optimize better and improve my rankings. By following along with Ed Dale’s 30 Day Challenge, I was introduced to Market...
