I do affiliate marketing and I’ve spent an embarrassingly large amount of money on this must have affiliate marketing guide and that must have affiliate marketing guide only to find…. the only people making money are the “gurus” who get together and tout each other’s products.

There is no magic formula and it IS work but it’s not hard work and you can do affiliate marketing in your jammies eating a scone and enjoying coffee while Maury is saying, “You are not the father!” on your television in the background – how many jobs can you do that on?

I have found through years of trying this technique and that technique – good old informative article marketing works the very best. The only drawback is that articles don’t draw traffic for very long so you have to keep writing.

Don’t you hate it when you’re looking for information on a subject and you keep running into the same spun and respun article over and over. I had a very specific niche I was researching for a client that wanted a lot of web content written and I kid you not,  I think only one set of articles was written on this particular subject -EVER. I kept running into the same articles on different sites and they were only slightly changed and they were obviously not written by someone that had English as a first language because the structure of some of the sentences was just psychotically bad.

Basically what I’m saying is, don’t put crap on the web. Don’t get me wrong,  PLR (Private Label Rights) articles are cool – I sell them too but a lot of the sets being sold are OLD like 6+ years old and when you spin articles that are that old plus have already been sold and spun a ton of times – you’re just going to get sandboxed anyway by the search engines because you’re not offering anything new. If you’re going to use PLR, buy quality stuff that has limits on amounts of sets sold because you won’t get sandboxed for it.

Anyway – that’s my two cents and for free heh….
