Mind the Keyword-in-Anchor-Text Factor in Breadcrumbs

We have already discussed why adding breadcrumbs is beneficial for both user experience and SEO: they help users to  understand where they are in relation to the rest of the site and provide better interlinking and thus easier crawling.

However what also should be mentioned is that usng your keywords in each and every level of the breadcrumb path may look like you are stuffing your internal anchor tet with keywords.

There is a good thread at WebmasterWorld offering an example of how to mind the usage of your primary keyword in the breadcrumbs.

Thus, using the word “widget” in every link of the breadcrumb, like here:

[Widget] > [Blue Widgets] > fluffy blue fast widge

you repeat the word “widget(s) too often throughout the site and thus risk “cranking the keyword-in-anchor text factor up to a high level.”

To avoid this situation (that may seem suspicious to Google), it may be wise to use synonyms and other relevant words:

[Widget] – [Blue Internet-tools] – fluffy and fast

Make Money Online With Five Types Of Affiliate Marketing

Recently, I talked about using affiliate marketing to make money online. So, today I’m going to discuss five of the best types of affiliate marketing for making big money online.

Pay Per Click (PPC) – Google Adsense

With PPC marketing the merchant pays affiliates whenever a visitor clicks on a merchant’s banner or text ad. The affiliate gets paid for every click even if the visitor he referred does not purchase anything from the merchant’s site.

Pay per click marketing is most closely associated with Google Adsense. Google Adsense is THE biggest money makers on my pure content sites. Adsense is a truly great way to make money with content sites and blogs.

The advantages of PPC systems like Adsense are:

1. Very easy to add to your site.
2. You don’t have to sell anything to make money with PPC.
3. You don’t have to choose programs to promote, the PPC system does that for you.

These advantages make PPC systems like Adsense very appealing to small websites and beginners. I, and many others that I know, have made a lot of money with Adsense.

Pay Per Sale (PPS)

PPS affiliate marketing is the most popular type used by merchants. In this type of affiliate program, the merchant only pays the affiliate whenever his referral buys a product. Affiliates are often paid on a commission basis (percentage of the sale), although some merchants pay a fixed fee. Commissions in PPS affiliate marketing can range from 1% to 100% of the sales.

Pay Per Lead (PPL)

Pay-per-lead (sometimes called Pay Per Action) is a type of affiliate marketing that is often used by insurance companies and other companies who rely on leads for their profits. The Death of Adsense ebook was a good example of Pay Per Lead in the Internet marketing industry. In this type of affiliate marketing, the affiliate is paid whenever the visitor he/she referred to the merchant’s site fills in an application form or takes an action that the merchant wants them to take. For example, a car insurance affiliate program will often want a person’s zip code to help find the best car insurance for them. Compensation for this type of affiliate marketing is a fixed fee and is often very lucrative for affiliates. In fact, one of my friends and mentors makes a nice income from pay per lead affiliate marketing.

In addition to the above types of affiliate marketing, there are other affiliate marketing types that enhance the earnings an affiliate can make.

Multi-Tier Affiliate Marketing

Some affiliate programs offer multiple tiers or levels that the affiliate can make money from. Single-tier affiliate marketing is the much more common than multi-tier, but multi-tier affiliate programs can be much more profitable. In a single-tier affiliate marketing program, the affiliates are paid based on the direct sales or traffic referred to the merchant.

In two-tier affiliate marketing programs, the affiliate is paid for for both the direct traffic or sales that he refers to the merchant’s site, AND all the clicks (PPC) or sales (PPS) or leads (PPL) referred by various other affiliates who joined the affiliate program through his affiliate link. Multi-tier affiliate marketing (3-tier, 4-tier, 5 tier, etc.) creates additional commission for the affiliates from the different tiers in the affiliate network. A good example of a multi-tier affiliate program is SiteSell which has 5 tiers.

Residual Income Affiliate Marketing

In residual income affiliate marketing, the affiliate gets paid whenever the customer he/she has referred returns to the site and purchase another product or renews a membership, etc. Compensation for such type of affiliate marketing is usually based on a sales percentage or a fixed fee. Residual income affiliate marketing is most commonly used by membership sites. I personally love getting paid every month from affiliate programs that offer residual income and look for opportunities to join affiliate programs that offer residual income in the areas I promote.

This is a basic summary of these five types of affiliate marketing. The important thing, as with all other kinds of marketing, is to find what works for you and your business. Experiment with different programs and different types of affiliate marketing and find out what works best for you and your visitors. As with everything else in making money online, it’s all about the numbers. If a particular method isn’t making money for you, by all means try something else.

Making Money from Home Facts Today

To make money doing nothing in first days of internet was an easy task. There was no competition, search engines ranked on different way than today, everything was easier. Today try to search in Google “make money online” or similar query and You will be amazed how much results You will find. There is a lot of sites fighting for first page or first place.

On the other side, money that You can make is still good. To be honest it is actually better than ever. Advertisers pays a lot for make money online related therms, since they market, consumers of those services raised too. So where are You in this jungle? You want to make money online but You don’t know how? maybe You tried but nothing? Well simpliest way, believe me, is to focus on one thing. On one technique and to be patient ,to work and to be patient. And again to work and to be patient, until you see first results. Must people loose enthusiasm if after first few or even more than few month don’t see any results. But actually, that is totally normal. That is naturally result of big competition as I already said. There is a lot of money makers there who want to learn making some money from home and start making money, but unfortunately or lucky that will not going so easy to everyone.

By the way think what situation,what would be if everyone who today decide to make money from home, tomorrow start earning, where from that all money can come from? Anyway lets back to our subject: making money from home with no or little work. Like I said find one experienced blogger who write about making money at internet, and instead jumping from one to another way, just concentrate on one way that looks most familiar to You. So for example if You decided to start blogging or make money in affiliate marketing, just be focused for six months, and don’t give up jumping on another technique when first doesn’t give any results in first months. That is greatest mistake. Peoples loose years jumping from another to another technique of making money from home. Point is that You need only one but to be focused when You start earning few thousands daily from one money making technique then you can go to next one. There is no about techniques, it is about peoples, or in other words every technique that You find on Internet , really can make money, but not everyone just to those who are patient and don’t give up.

I heard a lot of time comments like: there is no way that is possible to make anything from home, and I said that it is! Not something, you can make what ever you want, it is not just phrase that money is around us. So please believe me, be focused on one way to make money from home and money will came!
