DPR Affiliate Marketing Blog

A while ago, I wrote a post about 111 ways to promote your blog. A few of the comments I received suggested that I flesh out each item into a full post. I thought that was a brilliant idea that would give me at least a few months worth of posts, but thinking and doing are two different things. I wanted a new blog to promote, so I could start from scratch and test the results of each method and write as I went along. As well as updating my link lists as I go. It would kill a few birds with one stone. And I could see firsthand the results of each method as I went along.

First, let me tell you that there are many reasons to use Entrecard and I am leaving it on this blog for the time being, but here is what happened when I removed Entrecard from StephanMiller.com.

The results of this surprised me, to say the least. In the same time, traffic dropped only 4% while bounce rate went from the mid 70% to less than 40%.

This is the graph of my bounce rate, the amount of visitors that click the back button after they land on my site:

If I can stay on one server long enough, I will continue this thing. But I have had issues with that lately. And after doing all the tech stuff, writing becomes harder. But back on track. You have chosen a few products to promote on your blog and written some content. Promotion must start from day one, although some tactics and method will only work after your blog has more of a presence.

Got the update notice from Fast Blog Finder today. It looks like they added features:

I don’t know if you have ever heard about Hamlet Batista. If you haven’t, you are not alone. We, as bloggers, tend to like visibility. But some of the biggest money makers online are not visible. They don’t need to be. They build sites, optimize them for search engines and remain invisible. They don’t have to worry about posting every day, their Technorati rank or whether they have a lot of subscribers. They don’t have to. But they do make lots of money. I used to do this. Not the “lots of money part”. I have made decent money on the internet for over four years now, more than I would from any job a person without a degree can get, but definitely not lots.
