If you’re new to Blogger, you’ll be happy to know there are some simple blogger tricks and tips you can use today for free while using Blogger and WordPress.
Getting traffic is one of the biggest challenges for making money in affiliate marketing. One of the best ways to increase your search engine rankings and drive traffic to your affiliate sales sites is to create a web or funnel of areas within your market.
Let’s look at using Google’s Blogger to create a free blog that helps us create our sales funnel. If you have a Google Email account, you can go to Blogger.com and set up a new blog in just a few moments. If you don’t already have a Google Account, it will take you a few more minutes to create one, but you will still have a new blog up and running in less than 10 minutes.
Even though Blogger allows you to “Monetize” your site, I usually avoid this. The monetized portion of Blogger places AdSense ads on your blog, and for an affiliate marketer, that detracts from moving people through our funnel to the offer we want to promote. I use Blogger to host a few articles related to my niche, usually choosing topics with lower search results and low competition for my posts. I keep the highest quality content and phrases for my money-making sites. I create links to my primary affiliate sales sites from my Blogger sites, using my targeted keywords as the link’s text. You should social bookmark your blogger posts to ensure the search engines locate the positions. Since I’m working on shallow competition phrases, these pages sometimes rank well, passing more relevance on my main sites.
Don’t worry too much about your Blogger site; we primarily use it to pass people and search engine ranking onto our affiliate marketing sites.
It would help if you also took the time to create a free WordPress blog at WordPress.com. I use it almost the same way as Blogger. One of the big differences between Blogger and WordPress.com is the monetize feature. You will not find a monetize feature on WordPress.com, but they may display their ads to your visitors unless you pay for a Premium account. Again, this is not a big thing to worry about. We are using the WordPress.com blog to increase the number of backlinks to our main sites and to be able to target phrases we may not want to use on our main money-making sites.
If you use WordPress for your affiliate marketing websites, you’ll be very familiar with the WordPress.com interface. Your free blog will have fewer features, but they are not features we need for creating links to our affiliate sales pages.
Adding free WordPress and Blogger pages to your website will bring traffic into your sales funnel and increase your ranking on your affiliate marketing sites. WordPress and Blogger are regularly crawled by Google, which helps your main money site be found and crawled periodically.
Using the power of Blogger and WordPress free blogs can help you produce more traffic in your sales funnel, which creates more opportunities to make higher profits in your affiliate business. These blogger tricks and WordPress tips are easy to implement and a great way to start.
