This is the first of many video tutorials that show you how to generate high
quality "one way" back links to your website". This is pretty much a basic
method as many of you probably have already heard of or used this
technique in the past. For those of you that don’t know this pretty neat tactic
you are about to learn the entire process. Over the coming months, I will post
more advanced video tutorials on how to create even more back-links to your
website.
The method is pretty simple. Say you wanted to generate some backlinks to your
site about dog training. Simply go to Google and search for something similar to
this:
"dog training" "submit a link". Then filter through all of the many results
and manually submit your link to all of the websites that allow you to submit a
link to their website. Generally, you will find literally thousands of sites
that have the option to submit a link to their site. When you submit your link
to all of these websites it is very important that you make your titles relavent
to your website because this is the anchor text the the text that Google gives
your website credit for. You can literally do this for any niche just by
replacing "dog training" with any other keywords or niche phrases such as "golf
swing tips" "submit a link" or "affiliate marketing" "submit a link".
Additionally, you can find even more sites that will allow you to submit a link
to their website just by replacing "submit a link" with "add a link" or "suggest
a link".
I have created a video tutorial on how this entire process works:

Today and tomorrow I will be performing a new test. I am going to place some Camtasia videos on a few of my Google PPC landing pages. What exactly will be on the Camtasia videos? Well, the whole point of the videos will be to give my visitors trust in the products I will be referring them to. A large percentage of visitors leave your landing page because they either don’t trust your review or they think you are referring them to some scam site. Some other visitors just may be confused by what the product is and how it works so this is what the videos are going to be about.
I am going to welcome them in the video and actually walk through the process of
how the product (that I am recommending) works. I am going to ease their mind by
actually purchasing the product myself (on video) and walking them through the
steps of how the product words. Of course, I am going to get permission from the
Vendor and I am also going to blur or hide any personal or confidential details
(such as URL’s and personal Identifiable information). Below the video there
will be my affiliate links on where the visitors can purchase the product and I
may add a bonus incentive as well (such as a rebate or free gift).
I will update this blog with my results within a few days. Wish me luck,
Yours Truly,

We all have been waiting for this day! We all now have the ability to set up membership sites with ClickBank. I just hope that those scam sites don’t use this the wrong way because it would create a huge liability for ClickBank and us fellow affiliates and vendors. There will be no additional costs to members and affiliates will still be able to maintain their normal commissions (e.g; 75% , 60%).
This is going to create a flood of new sites in the ClickBank marketplace
Look forward to a huge wave of new products in the marketplace. This is going to attract hundreds of new vendors and this is going to rattle up the marketplace pretty heavily. If you are a clickbank vendor - I would only add recurring commissions if you are going to update your product regularly. The majority of the “new wave” of sites will probably be mentoring sites and other sites that a membership related.
This is the best improvement ClickBank has every made so lets all use this feature properly and take it serious.

This is Andrew Heil - Signing out!
Cheers!

Earlier
this month I didn’t receive direct deposit for one of my accounts. I called up
ClickBank and spoke with Sommar (very nice girl) and we tried to figure out why
I hadn’t received the direct deposit. She investigated the issue and told me
that this problem has happened in the past and the problem is user-names with all
numbers in it (e.g; 0029938, 999328) sometimes encounter problems with their
automated direct deposit system. The system sometimes gets confused and ends up
printing out a check instead of sending you your direct deposit. She said this
problem only happens sometimes and then she told me that sometime in the near
future they may end up prohibiting users to register nicknames as all numbers.
Additionally, she told me that everyone who already has all numeric nicknames
would still be able to keep their nicknames but they may prevent only future
registrations of all numeric nicknames. If you have an all numeric nickname you
may want to consider changing your nickname so that you don’t encounter any
problems with receiving your direct deposit. I would advise everyone to start
registering regular nicknames and not numeric nicknames.
Just a little heads up to all you fellow ClickBankers. 
Cheers,

Cool
I’m launching a new PhpBB photography forum within the next couple of weeks. I’ve found some really cool PhpBB SEO mods and would like to share with you the concept of search engine optimizing your web forum.
Session ID’s
If you run PhpBB you already know that you always get those session id’s in your url and believe me… they are very, very nasty! Google hates those and you must remove them for at least the bots.
.php extensions
Everyone knows that static html pages get ranked much easier and higher than ordinary .php pages. You can easily use mod_rewrite to transform your php pages into static html. This is a must if you run a web forum! There is a mod (link below) that will transform your thread urls to include your thread title in the URL. Here is an example of a regular phpBB board thread URL:
—————-Regular phpBB board—————-
Joe makes a new thread titled “Adobe Photoshop Help”
The url will then look something like this:
http://www. yoursite.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=7736
—————————————————–
—————Optimized phpBB board————–
Joe makes a new thread titled “Adobe Photoshop Help”
The url will then look something like this:
http://www. yoursite.com/forum/adobe-photoshop-help-t5.html
—————————————————–
As you can see the optimized phpBB thread would rank higher than the unmodified phpBB threads because it has they keywords right in the URL (something that the serps love).
Duplicate Content
If you are running an unmodified version of PhpBB then chances are you getting duplicate content indexed in the serps. This is because when the robots crawl your forum they are not only crawling the actual threads but they are also crawling through posters names which eventually lead to the “find all post by this person” which looks like this: www.yourforum .com/forum/search.php?do=finduser&u=992929
This is just one of the many duplicate content flaws that PhpBB has with their default installation package.
Meta Tags
Regular PhpBB boards don’t have dynamic meta tag integration. You need to optimize your forum so it automatically adds targeted meta tags to each one of your forums topics. The modification automatically pulls keywords from the posts and places them in the meta tags.
Titles
Unmodified boards place useless words in your thread URL’s. An original phpBB board has titles that look like the following:
“YourWebsite.com - Forum :: View Topic - Your Threat Title”
As you can see the words “forum” and “view topic” are completely useless! You can easily remove these useless words and modify it so your titles will look like this:
“YourWebsite.com - Your Subforum Category - Your Topic Title”
I’ll give you another example of what this modification will do:
Joe makes a thread titled “Internet Marketing eBooks” inside the “Internet Marketing” category of your forum. The modded version of phpbb will create a title that looks this:
“YourWebsite.com - Internet Marketing - Internet Marketing eBooks” <—- much better!
There is a modification that you can download that will do all of this SEO for you! And it takes less than twenty minutes to install! And best of all.. its 100% free.
SEO your PhpBB forum at the following URL:
http://www.phpbb-seo.com
I am not sure if anyone has created a Vbulletin version of an SEO modification… if someone knows where one is please post inside a comment.
Example of a SEO’d PhpBB webforum
Soon I will be launching a forum related to the photography niche. I did all the basic SEO work on the site but I havn’t did any other seo yet (backlinks, etc.) - Since I havn’t launched the forum yet there are no members and no pagerank currently. I will update you guys over the next few months how the ranking go with Google. You can view this unlaunched photography forum below:
Photography Forum
I got the idea for the subforum names from GFY.com and eweath.com
BTW, if you havn’t already checked out ewealth.com go there now! I rank it as the number one Affiliate Marketing web forum on the internet. You can visit ewealth below:
http://www.ewealth.com … tell them CBniche referred you.
Alright, it’s almost midnight… im off to bed.
