Shiny objects.

Always with the shiny objects.

You read an article about building a niche blog and you start. It takes work. But you are moving forward. You have yet to make a sale, but your traffic is picking up. You are getting into it.

Then you happen upon an ebook about bum marketing. Well, you are started on the right direction. Let’s just try this instead and put the other one on hold. But of course, this is also a lot of work.

I just have to admit this to myself. Currently, I have no time to write posts for this blog, no matter how much I want to. So I am looking for help from you, my readers.

I am looking for guest bloggers. The topic matter could be anything I cover on this blog, anything that somehow relates to affiliate marketing. Any of the following will be accepted: basics of affiliate marketing, seo, link building, niche blogging, article marketing, pay per click and the list goes on.

Yesterday, in the middle of the day, I logged into Clickbank and was freaked out at first. Everything was red instead of blue. I double checked the domain, just in case I happened to type in the wrong url and had just entered my login details into a phishing site. Nope, the url was correct.

So it seems that Clickbank changed colors a bit but that is not all. Now you can build and encoded affiliate url using Hoplink Shield. You can also paste and encoded url in and get it decoded. The point is to stop commission loss my masking your affiliate link.

  Okay, I will start off with this post, which explains more features of Diigo, the bookmarking site I used to write this post. They have a "Post to Blog" function that will allow me to post a selection of my clips to my blog. So I have set up a special tag for posts to this blog and tags for each of my other blogs. That way I can collect bookmarks for post like these as I go. Diigo allows you to annotate your bookmark with up to 2000 characters. That’s about 4 times the size of an average blog post, so there is plenty of room for unique content in the form of commentary. Well, here goes nothing. Going to test Diigo’s posting to my blog.

For the most part, I have been a loose cannon commenter in the past, jumping from blog to blog, adding comments where I can. Since there is thousands of blogs out there, I only commented on the same blog twice by chance. But there is something to be said about building a circuit of blogs to comment on, especially if your blog is in a specific niche.

Am I going to talk about DoFollow in the this post. Only a bit. DoFollow helps, as does Top Commenters, Recent Comments, KeywordLuv and CommentLuv. And one of my favorite tools is Fast Blog Finder. But you can focus too much on that. And everybody and his brother is.
