How to Create a Link to a Specific Page With Share-a-Sale

I am sure you know that when adding links/images to your affiliate sites, deep linking is by far the most profitable to link. Just think about it: let’s say I am writing a post about marketing with door hangers, and I want to offer some resources to my readers. So, I go to SAS and find a program that is doing great!

They do offer door hangers, but they don’t offer an easy way to link to them. That’s not going to stop me from linking to that specific page. At the top of your SAS Dashboard you’ll see “Create a Custom Link to a Page” (see image below):

Click on that, and it will take you to a page where you need to enter some information (see below):

I picked the company I am creating the link for from the drop down menu, I added specific tracking for this link (I added the initials of this blog and the date), and then entered my destination URL. Make sure you remove http:// from the form, as it’s automatically added for you, and your link will be broken if you leave it there.

Once you filled out all the fields on the form, click on Create Custom Link , and you’ll be taken to another page where you can copy your link from. Here is what it looks like:

All you have to do now it copy and paste your link into your post.

Check out this link to door hangers to see where it will take you.

How A Keyword Generator Tool Can Help Build A Good Website

When you start an Internet business there is a lot to consider. The first and most obvious is learning how to build a website. Today that is easier than ever because there are so many inexpensive tools at your disposal. The real trick is getting those tools to work for you literally. One of these tools is your keyword generator.

Keywords are really more than just simple words. You aren’t going to get much traffic from a single word search as a matter of fact its pretty safe to say that you wont get any traffic from a single word search because they are too broad. Search engines like phrases that are keyword rich.

Keywords are actually key phrases. Keyword phrases are those phrases that directly relate to your business. If you are an internet marketer, then your keyword phrases will include any phrase that would be used and searched for in the world of internet marketing. Think about how you would search for something. What are the various phrases that you use to narrow your search to find what you are looking for?

How does one choose the right keywords? This is where a keyword generator tool comes in. When you are thinking about your content, this tool takes the guesswork out of the equation for you. You give it your information and it comes back with the keywords and phrases that are most associated with your business.

Because a keyword generator works with known information based on recent web searches, you can be assured that the information it gives you is accurate. Some keyword tools will even show you seasonal statistics, allowing you to change your content during those times when people are most likely to be searching using particular phrases. Many of these tools are free, but if you want to pay a small fee, you can get even more from keyword generator software.

Once you have a list of keywords and phrases, its time to turn them into good web content. Good web content is a big part of drawing the right traffic to your site. While it may seem obvious, the number one mistake that people when optimizing their site is lack of targeted keywords and phrases!

Keywords should be used all throughout your website, not only on the homepage. Remember that people can enter your site from any page, so be sure that you have your keywords on every page.

We have said once before, but we are going to say again for emphasis: write good content. If you don’t feel comfortable writing the content for yourself, hire a professional to do it for you. It will be well-worth the money you spend.

Don’t use Black Hat techniques to try and get better rankings. Black Hat techniques include keyword stuffing, inserting invisible text, and creating fake doorway pages. While using these techniques may get you higher rankings in the beginning, over time you may be penalized for it.

Keyword Analysis for Your New Niche

A few days ago, I talked about how to effectively research a niche market and then suggested a few places you could go to start getting the ideas flowing.

Today let’s see how you can do keyword analysis for the new niche you found during your market research.

What is keyword analysis? – It’s basically a “big picture” of your market through thorough keyword research.

To do this, you need a good research tool: Google keyword tool and WordTracker are free, or you can use one of the paid ones. I like and use Market Samurai (BTW, Market Samurai has a free version of their software, which you can get right now at this link).  A good tool can potentially save you a lot of time and money. So it’s worth paying for this service rather than simply using the free tools. Free tools can be a good starting point but can’t really replace proper keyword analysis.

Fire up your keyword tool and type in your niche topic. Your keyword tool should then give you other keyword ideas and include profitability ratings for each keyword phrase.

Most tools let you keep digging even further to find even more profitable keywords. Dig as much as you need to until you come up with a good substantial list of keywords.

Armed with your keyword list, you should now have a good idea for whether or not your market is a viable one.

You can then use these keywords to structure your website, your products, your content, your advertisement, and to help you connect with your target market. Keywords mean so much to your business which is why it’s important to take the time to do this step as properly as possible.

Niche Market Research

Do you have trouble researching new niche markets? It doesn’t have to be difficult: you just need to apply a little common sense and a few practical tips.

Here are some good places to start your online niche market research:

Forums and Discussion Boards – These are great sources for finding out what people want and need. Read through a forum related to your topic and see what people are discussing. Look particularly at what problems and issues they may be having.

You can even join in and ask questions to learn more about your market. It’s important that you read the rules of each individual forum and apply proper forum etiquette to avoid being banned. If in doubt, just remember the basic rules of etiquette: don’t take more than you give, be polite and courteous to all members, don’t use someone else’s space as your advertising medium, and just be nice.

Amazon.com – I highly recommend this website as a good starting point for research. Take a look at all the different categories on Amazon – do you see your potential niche listed? Look through the books and products for each niche and take a few minutes to read the customer feedback and reviews.

Amazon is a fantastic source of knowledge and spending just a few minutes there can provide many answers about your potential niche market.

Ezinearticles.com – This is another great website for getting to grips with different niche markets. You’ll find a number of niche markets to choose from. Take time to look through the different author websites to get an idea of what products or services they’re promoting.

Magazines – Magazines are great for market research. If a magazine is on the stand it means it’s being funded by advertisers. And we all know businesses don’t continually advertise unless they’re making money.

Take a look through the advertising section in your niche magazines. What products are on offer? How are they being promoted. This will give you a good idea for the viability of your potential niche.

Take a poll – If you already have a website and/or subscriber base you’re one step ahead of the game because you can directly ask your readers and visitors what it is they want to see. People are always happy to provide feedback so don’t miss this opportunity for tapping into potential further products and services for your market.
