SEOmoz Affiliate Program Launch – The SEO Software Affiliate Program

Today SEOmoz announced that they would launch affiliate program for their SEO software, you could make money by promoting SEOmoz software, the operation is same with any other affiliate program.

1. the minimum commission is $50
2. 60-day cookie
3. Affiliate platform is HasOffers
4. 30-day pay period
5. and others

SEOmoz's SEO software is most popular software in this area, it's good choice for affiliate to working with one famous brand, but it does not mean we could make big money from SEOmoz affiliate program now, can you sell murphy to farmer? mostly potential users of SEO software are marketer like you, why should we share commission of ourselves order with other guys? not ourselves.

PPC Search Arbitrage Come Back?

If you didn't know what's PPC Search Arbitrage, you could read Jake Baillie's post in 2006, in which you could even find out the history of PPC search arbitrage. In short PPC arbitrage means sending mass traffic in low price to your landing page placing AD from other advertiser with higher CTR, your profit comes from the  margin between outgoing ppc * revshare * CTR and source PPC.
Maybe you notice it's so profitable as for you can easy expand your input and get more revenue. But the most important is how to find the difference between different advertisers and the second are insuring the CTR of your landing page.
Some internet magnate, including Yahoo Shopping, CNet, Shopping.com, Verizon, Info.com, PriceGrabber, NextTag, eBay, etc. take part in PPC search arbitrage too. Off course that they have blotted out in their real business model.
But PPC search arbitrage infract Google's policy and profit, so Google forbid similar operation in 2006 and in this year many AdWords accounts were banned. For someone, PPC arbitrage is died in 2006.
Is it true?
Just after two years, Danny Sullivan find Ask.com Plays The Google AdWords Arbitrage Game in 2008, so PPC arbitrage still alive and Google just say no to smaller business owner.
Ask.com is not the only example, Info.com begin to follow it, let's review below Info.com's landing page.

How about? It's unassailable MFA site.
But I don't suggest you follow those operation, if you have ability that finding keyword with low cost and high conversion rate, why not try CPA? it's more profitable and safe.

Why I Did not Became a Millionaire Accidentally?

Last day, Jeremy Schoemaker post a funny post in his blog: The Accidental Millionaires, without talking about any affiliate tips or marketing skill and just make a simple review for last seven years. The emphases in post is saying thanks to Internet. It's right, INTERNET is a amazing opportunity for anyone and help someone like Jeremy turn to millionaire owning multi million dollar companies.
I never believe that it's accidentally, if it's true, why I did not became a millionaire accidentally? Don't forget that it's fair in internet between Jeremy and me.
The only reason is sloth, mostly work I plan or need to do was cancel after I convince myself with other various reason, but the true reason is that I'm lazy.
It's a terrible fact surely, expressly for affiliate marketing.
Affiliate Marketing needs testing ceaselessly and always absorb fresh material in swift internet age, all of that need more and more time, sloth means logjam and I just be common marketer after several years.
This year, I work more hard now and achieve more goal immediately, I'll turn to millionaire in next year in my working schedule, it's not accidentally at all.

Turn to Email Marketing

I will begin a Email marketing test in the next days after planing long time.

Always I have a misunderstanding that Email is needless capital in Web2.0, this opinion comes from habit of mostly of Chinese on internet. Although I need to check my two or three Email inbox several times daily, but I think it's requirement of business and mostly common people shouldn't log their Email one time in the whole month. I'm right for it's real in China and wrong because it is not fit for Occidental.

John Chow thought his biggest mistake while marketing is that he didn't build a Email list in the begin of blogging, after discovering the secret of list, he begin to build huge list immediately like other super affiliate marketer.

Perhaps people would not pay more time in sending or receiving Email, but their email address would be their username in Facebook. and they still need receive some notice from their service such as Paypal etc. after using so long time, Email address even become a special identity symbol in internet.

I'm wrong and underrate the effect of Email Marketing, it's time to put right. So I would begin a test to understand the real of Email Marketing.

Unexpected Commission

This morning I received a mail said that I earn one commission from some affiliate program, the amount is $134.04.
It's unexpected and great, because this commission came from one of my niche blogger, I just set up it and post one review in January. without any outside link and even without analysis code. So I don't where the commission comes from even.
And there are another unexpected revenue, typo domain.
How much do you paid for one click? I find a good method and got bulk traffic with the cost of domain register in last month.

Affiliate Age

I always think that affiliate marketer is difference with webmaster, although both of them make money online with blog or website, which is same between affiliate marketer and webmaster.

Before 2010, I'm a webmaster and now I'm trying more and more marketing method, the focus of my work is promote the business, not simple building website or blog.

The key of affiliate is that all sorts of method is not the purpose, which just help us achieve aim.

For example, link building help your website get more better position on Google's SERP, but how to get good exterior link is not important, and you must know that paid link is same to hard comment on famous blogger, you have more time to find next niche with a little invest on paid link.

In past half of year, I buy link weekly and outsource some program, so I could arrange more work and test more method. Maybe you need some money and there are some risk, but time is money also and losing time means more risk.
But I have not get any progress in English market, which would be my focus in next half of year.

With Think In Relaxed Day

Today is relaxed day and I put some time in web game and read post in Google reader, it's more important that no one disturb me, my son is be cared by his mother and grandfather.
This day I have time to think working plan of next year.
Although my online earning is steady, but I can see the crisis in 2010, how to elude and develop to next level? and the key problem is where is next hot point?
For some webmaster in China, more and more people would buy the foreign hosting to avoid domestic control. it's good idea that as a good bridge between webmaster and hosting affiliate.
Comparing with the other affiliate,  hosting company is generous and mostly commision is nearly $100.I like them.
Off course there are some competitor already, preliminary work plan is to set up a sub-domain of www.wosoho.com talking about foreign hosting and domain.
At the same time, domestic application like twitter is a good marketing place and I have start marketing in sina.
you can find some coupon code of domain and hosting in http://t.sina.com.cn/usidc.I'll promo it in next days and let more people buy foreign hosting via low price.

It's Difficult to find Niche

I can built a niche blogger easily in Chinese , but it's difficult while in English.

Last week, I create a blogger talking about girls smoking and don't know it's adult topics. Most people want to say naked girls picture via this keyword.

All misunderstand are coming from culture and lifestyle.

According to my first thinking , I guess the topics about quit smoking and electronic cigarettes is valuable. So I keep going on finding niche in related range.

It's lucky that I can try some niche via blogger.com.

VPN and Blogger

I have not update this blog for nearly three month, during the three months, my chinese blogger named wosoho run so good and it need more concerning.

Although it's not problem for me using proxy server such as ItsHidden, but there are some inconvenience that GFW blocked Blogger.com.

By the way, if you are coming from Chinese and want to using blogger.com, there are some suggest in how-to-do-while-blogger-be-blocked.

Today I would release new niche blogger named Girls Somking in blogger.com. in which you'll find some product for quiting somking.

At first, I'll spend three hours in optimization of this niche blogger, for example, it need new template and some modify in URL.

Do you need how to optimization your blogger? I write in Chinese and the post is blogger-optimization-for-make-money-online-free. I hope it's useful for you.

video of my son

Today I have time to collating some video in DV finally.

At first I want to share those video in Youtube, but it looks like China Block Youtube still going on. in the end I have to upload it on Tudou.com, which are largest video shared site in China.

But I couldnot find that the speed uploading video in Tudou.com in China mainland is better than Youtube oversea.

You can find the video of my son in this url:http://www.tudou.com/home/_45511006. And below object is newest video.

how to do without salary increase

Although I still in holiday for my baby, my collegue sent a message to me that the boss decide all staff's salary not to increase in the middle of year.

In accordance with the practice, everyone could get a chance to increase salary each year. I think the decivison is due to economic crisis.

How to do?

The first mind is make money online and soho, in fact I have the ability of make money at home. I could make money via website and blog. But the other fact is I could convince the family to understand my select, they hope I be stability and normal, it's clear that make money at home is not method they could accept.

I'm troubled by the same question, no one could make money online untill their website and blog in certain scale.

How to do?

soho or make money at home is my dream and I have enough time staying with my baby. I must work hard online for this target.

Before I leave this company, I still need hard work, it's my other duty.

How To Find Approving Hostting？

The title of this post just attract, I could not tell you how to find approving hostting, because I'm bother about my hostting.
I have try so many hostting service including Godaddy, but there still are a wide range of problem.
Maybe you think the Godaddy hostting is trustworthy, it's true, but it's not fitting for my acctually status, the viewers is Chinese and the language of my site is Chinese too, the slowly hostting could be forecasted. The more important is that Chinese net police deny my domain named Godaddy hostting IP, it's so terrible!
I recognise that the content in my site is fitting for everybody, but it's not adult site and useful for so many people life.
But the net police don't think so.it's why my site couldn't running on via mainland hostting and I select the oversea hostting.
Url of my site is www.xjkzx.cn .is it a adult site?
Don't give up and change myself to fitting the environment, so I decide that to change the site appearance and look for a service for a steady-going status.

www.wosoho.com start

I have posted the first post in www.wosoho.com , it means my Chinese blog life start. It's fresh regional that I should learn so much new knowledge.

For example I should learn how to build the relations between other blogger. It's so important that it would effect wosoho's future. Blog is a communication and the relation between blogger and viewers is the first.

Then the tool of blog is other important, you can find so many new tool in some successful blog, for example Twitter and facebook or other plug . Most of they be created in English and it's more useful in western blog.

But I wouldn't imporve wosoho in this month, I'm a newbie and I know there are double work following rash decide.the only work in next month is one post each day and test a variety of function plug.

About www.wosoho.com

It's a personal blog talking about how to begin your soho plan and how to enjoy your soho life.

Beijing ABC

After Beijing 2008 Olympic Games, there are so many people want to know oldest Beijing, in fact Beijing is a fasion city today.

And you couldn't know the truely Beijing from western media, the best way is coming to Beijing and view my new blog about Beijing: beijingabc.blogspot.com, in which my friend lived in Beijing would update the news and its history.

Two viewer give a feedback in beijingABC yesterday, it's good news for my friend, and I believe he would work hardly in next day. There are a question that why no one comment in my personal blog?

China Block YouTube

YouTube is most popular video sharing site in the world, and is production belong to Google inc as same as Blogger.com. From Monday of this week, the viewers in china mainland couldn't land on YouTube.com. The reason is China govement block Youtube.

It's not the first time that China block foreign site. In long period we couldn't use blogger.com.

There are a few guesswork about the reason, I think it's because Chinese govement don't want to be effected by limitless freedom from west. The different value and life style lead the warp and unfair over China.How many people know Tiben? Why did you reject Olympic?If you want to know China, please come here, don't believe the lie in the paper. Could you spend few minutes to read the hides behind a facade of non-violence?

Of course, I don't recognize we are right all time.I hope you could hear our voice.

In fact,YouTube isn't popular in Chinese internet users same with US, so China block Youtube isn't big effect for common person's life. Most people share video in Tudou or Youku.As a company focusing on make money,Google and YouTube should know how to keep the site runing normally, not to discussing the political thinking.

Wosoho.Com And Soho

March 23,I registered Wosoho.com.The domain mean I want to soho.And wo is I in Chinese.

It have been ten day after Wosoho.com's expiration date, And it's lucky that there are not other compete, I would haven't chance to get it if there are.

Soho is abbreviation of small office home office. Mostly people regard it as make money online.Actually soho include other factor, for example free lance and artist.its antonym is staff in office, The most difference between two is free schedule. and it's because that so many people want to be a soho. In Wosoho.com, I would talk about how to begin your soho plan. But you should know Chinese.

As one life style, there aren't any fixed rule fitting with soho. In my preliminary plan the categories are website,blogger,saler online and fun during soho, which are method of soho.

And the title would be:I soho by telling people how to soho.

It's Diffculty To Find Hot Keywords

Actually I know it's diffculty to find hot keywords early, so many competitors are pointing on google and Yahoo, and I just a new guy entering this field.

Now  I used to find hot keywords by google trend and Yahoo! Buzz Index, which be apply so universal that any little dynamic should bring huge content about related keywords. Even if my blogger appear in search result, the result just is blog search, how many are people using it?

On the other hand, I'm not live in US, I couldn't know what's the hotest and what would be hot in the first time. More serious is that I don't understand what's means of those words, for example shauna raisch , not any language tools could tell me the means.

Perhaps blogging passively and focusing one aspect is fitting for me. so I create a new blog in blogspot, talking about Resume Samples, I think it's useful and popular while so many people find jobs.

Domain is Brand

Essentiality of domain don't need any intro. And the sub-url as panbilin.blogspot.com just is a excess, no guy can develop their blog base on third party.

I don't care the related expense about domain and space, the key question is how to find a domain, which would be a brand belong to me.

In my blog construct plan, I should build two blog with Chinese and English, but they have the same problem:domain. I have thought out a domain fitting with Chinese content, which is ringing and short, just six letter.but it haven't released after expiration date and I find its status is pendingDelete, perhaps I could register after five days without any other competition.

As for English blog, I have not any idea. the www.panbilin.com maybe is a good choice, at least so many person blog's domain is their first name, as much as I know, the JohnChow dot com is the famous example. Even though I have read a post that JohnChow is regret.

In fact, I enjoy some originality domain, which is novelty and difficulty to forget. For example withink,it's good to understand it's complex with with and think.howhy is another example. But it's others' creation.

Maybe some online tools could give me a little clew.as I know the registrars can help suggest good domain name ideas.After I type in the domain name I want, the online tool tell will suggest a list of other domain that I might be interested in, which usually add words before of after your search term. by now I still have not get any valuable suggest from it.

From Chinese To English Website

Time has passed half a year after previous update, I still did not do anything for my English SEO process.

But there are a good news,my chinese website is back on track, near ten thousand let me have almost one hundred RMB income each day.And I get more idea about how to get more traffic, the near target is that the income reach two hundred RMB every day before July.

Of course, the process is more difficult than talk. At first I couldn't find trustworthy host, almost all IDC need check website content base on unconscionable standard, I transfer my site to Godaddy, the largest IDC in the world.


Although the host price is more cheap, there are still two hidden danger, first is the host speed and another is the IP. Due to the viewer is come from mainland, so the hosting in oversea could not service speedy as domestic IDC. it's lucky that the negative impact is less than expected.

The problem about IP is that the director department would limit netizen browse some site oversea sometimes. it's unpredictable.

My new hosting have 150GB space and 1500GB bandwidth every month, the current bandwidth usage is 3000M each day and the monthly usage is just 90G, which is a tiny fraction of all. So the plan of English site can restart.

In next day I need to decide blow question:
1st: the blogger or website using content management system?
2nd: the content focus on one field or chase hot topics from google trend?

If the culling base on my interest, the answer is blogging my life in English as this blog. On the other side, I can not refuse the satisfaction accompanied by huge IP and income. After all make money online is many people's target.

Google Chrome Browser

It almost has been one day after Google release their new Chrome Browser, I begin a trip with Google Chrome Browser. If you are interest in it,you could find download URL in homepage of Google.

Does the world really need another big Web browser? With three major players—Microsoft’s Internet Explorer, Mozilla’s Firefox and Apple’s Safari—fighting the latest iteration of the browser wars, Google is set to elbow its way into the game today with Chrome, the search giant’s new, open-source software for browsing the Web. 

The focus of most people is whether could Chrome beat down IE and how fast while browsering. All that is unimportant for me. I just want to get the answer that Chrome is a good alternatives for IE user or not.

Although it looks like so cool, I still couldn't accept completely. The first reason is that there are not narrow or larger button in the lower right corner like IE. I know I can get the same effect using Ctrl and mouse, it's more convenient than portfolio operation that design of shortcuts. It's fatal of Firefox that user have no time to find various powerful plug-ins. Although you can meet all needs using plug-ins, the key question is where and how to get plug-ins fitting for myself. So the products should show all useful button, the standards of "useful" need to meet most of user.

But there are a breakthrough as a new comer,Google Chrome Browser could meet all existing standards like CSS and html. At least using it I couldn't find any unmoral while browsering many sites. As a webmaster,I should adjust the codes of my site to fit all browser,in order to prevent different effect in Firefox and IE. For Google Chrome, the nightmare don't begin. And I even still could refresh page by F5, it's same with IE.

Iit's forward force that Google Chrome Browser respect the habits of IE user.

Cool Appearance of Google Chrome Browser
