There’s something that’s been bugging me lately. So much of the net community seems to embrace without question Google Law and allow Google to decide who, what, where and how we link to other websites.
So much of Google’s algo depends on links. Who is linking to a website, what the anchor text of those links [...]
I’ve uploaded a good read for you:
Viral Copy - Trading Words For Traffic
Quick recap: it outlines various techniques to gain inbound links, the importance of links, some net back stories and blogging info.
It’s not enough anymore to just get people talking…they need to be linking. It’s more important these days that they spell your URL [...]
I’ve been hard at work on a few things lately and one was updating a straight-up, 100% thin affiliate website to WordPress. Why?
I have the ability now to offer my affiliate pages on rss (too complicated for me to do otherwise).
Easy search feature (if I want to provide it).
Easier design capabilities (no more fussing with [...]
I read an article in yesterday’s newspaper and I’m so unnerved by it that I just have to give a heads up by writing about it here.
We know that our children are big targets online, not only from perverts approaching them in chat rooms, myspace, etc., but also from some in the porn industry trying [...]
After spending *hours* trying to find that perfect php image resize script, and not having any luck at all btw, I stumbled across a blog post by Mike Lopez: PHP Image Resize Script.
Here’s what it does:
Resize by specified height or width OR by percentage
Works with both external and onsite images
Works with JPG, PNG and GIF* [...]
I noticed some new activity in the wordpress support forum for the thread: SEO Your Wordpress Blog (some good info linked to in there).
A new plugin was announced:
Count inbound links: backlinks wordpress plugin
Backlinks draws a nice graph that shows how your number of inbound links develop over time using the MSN Search API together with [...]
When someone contacts me and starts off by saying: “Great Blog”, they get my attention. Sometimes flattery does get you everywhere lol.
Here’s a note I received from Eric B. using my contact form:
Hi Terry,
Great blog. Just found it. Not sure if you can help, but I’m trying to do some research to understand a problem [...]
First off a happy blog anniversary mention:
FreeCashSpace
I’ve been following Wil’s blog for several months and grabbed his feed for my squidoo lens: Get Paid. FreeCashSpace is off the beaten track for affiliate marketing, but I find some freebies, apps and neat money/savings/deals stuff through Wil’s blog–so I enjoy it :). If I get that free [...]
Have a sizzling hot blog topic?
Secured a quiet niche for yourself?
Some pages and topics drawing more traffic than others?
Good Adsense clicks happening in a blog category?
Want to keep that info for yourself and safely tucked away?
Keep third party blog stat programs off your blog. By third party I mean anything that tracks your stats somewhere [...]
Would you like to be a keyboard shortcut master? Print these off, put them in a clear plastic sleeve back to back, tuck under your keyboard (or beside it) and voila! you’ll have these tackled in no time.
Keyboard Shortcuts (pdf files):
Internet Explorer Keyboard Shortcuts
Firefox Keyboard Shortcuts
I created the shortcut sheets awhile ago as an attempt [...]
Just a quick note that I added the video of Seth Godin’s presentation at Google to the list of his free ebooks:
The Master List Of Seth Godin’s Free eBooks
I know the video isn’t an ebook, but I thought it was a good place to add the link. The link is toward the bottom of [...]
Normally when setting up a custom 404 page you just need to create your page, save it as 404.shtml, plop it in your main directory and voila! It’s all good.
Or do the redirect in your .htaccess file:
ErrorDocument 404 http://superaff.com/your-custom-page.html
But no matter what I tried, or how much hair I pulled - I could not get [...]
When you have 2 gigs of ebooks sitting on your computer that you don’t want to lose - what do you do?
Or gigs and gigs of software programs - and their backups.
Websites, databases, script programs - and their backups.
I was really at a loss as to what the best, most workable method for me would [...]
I’ve been using Banner Maker Pro* for a few years now and I think it’s just the trick for webmasters like me who don’t have the know-how or the budget to use those high priced graphics programs (ie. several hundred $).
Although my version is outdated, I find it does the job well enough for what [...]
IMO Todd Crawford had one heck of a rough job. Part of what Todd dealt with was frontline for CJ. Dealing with cranky, angry affiliates…who wanted clear answers from Commission Junction. I’d say 99.9% of the affiliate concerns were justified.
Rock…Hard Place
But I think he did a fine job most of the time. He did a [...]
Each month I make enough in PayPal to cover hosting costs and a little extra. I’d like to bump up my PayPal income so that I have a lot extra :grin:.
Do you have any recommendations or suggestions of affiliate programs that pay commissions by PayPal?
So far I have:
seobook
RoboForm
eMax Hosting
You can either submit them as a [...]
Submitting websites to free directories may be a dying method of link building, but I still do it. And I operate a few directories myself. Does it help with Google? Who knows. Who cares. Not only are there are other search engines that drive traffic, some directories actually provide traffic themselves.
I’m struggling to keep the [...]
Yesterday I wrote about the poor results one of my affiliate websites achieves in the search engines result pages: Check Out My Google Stats.
Here are more stats for that same site:
Commissions Earned This Month: $191.25
Amount of Sales: 32
Avg Commission/Sale: $5.97
This is a straight affiliate product site - no contextual advertising of any kind.
Simple, low [...]

My brain’s always pumping out ideas. Pop pop pop. Unfortunately - I have a harder time being creative and coming up with good ideas for areas and projects when and where I actually need them most.
Being stuck and ‘paralyzed by inaction’ is frustrating - so what’s a girl to do?
I bought a book :lol:.
Technique for [...]
This is new to me. Yesterday I received a note through my contact form here on SuperAff that I’ve been accepted to the Sprint Ambassador Program.
Hi Terry,

The Sprint Ambassador Program is all about exploring our latest products and [...]
Earlier I posted about the technique of boosting the strength of your incoming links by finding ways to link to those sites that link to you: Do You Boost The Juice To Sites That Link To You?.
Mouthful isn’t it :lol:.
It occurred to me after writing that post that companies and marketers who offer products and [...]
There’s a site I’ve been taking my time building over the past year that has very little traffic atm. A site that some would call: Well Below The Radar :lol:.
I’ve been noticing something interesting though. Aside from the standard scraper sites linking to this little known and tucked away gem, there are a few links [...]
A little while ago I did a google search for - Find web pages that contain the term “superaff.com” - and came across some strange stuff towards the last few pages of results.
There are several websites that are doing something weird:
“SuperAff.com” serps - Starting Page 5
Beginning halfway down the page (page 5 of serps), [...]
