Its been awhile since i last posted and i must say things are going very well. I picked up a local SEO job for a mortgage/real estate company and was able in a very short amount of time to get them on the front page of google for some very competitive terms and beat some of the large local companies in the process!!
So to my surprise i guess I do actually know something!:)
I also picked up a job to start a mortgage blog for a good friend of mine for $500. Should be about 5 hours work to get the blog and 15 SEO optimized posts up and bookmarked.Not bad money for the price!
As far as the clickbank earnings are concerned they have been doing well and I am averaging about 1-2 sales per day over the course of the month. for a amount fo $25 to $50 per day.
I have not been article marketing much or doing much of anything to promote my clickbank stuff and need to pick it up to increase my earnings a bit. My goal is a consistent $100 per day. I did just outsource my first batch of 10 articles and am waiting to see how that goes.

Gaining More Traffic From Your Articles at Ezinearticles.com
Recently like alot of people my click through ratio at ezinearticles has decreased meaning I have less traffic coming to my sites and offers then i use to. Alot of people including myself feel it is the new adsense ad layout that is underneath the article title. It is now 3 large ads smack dab under your title, i think alot of people see them and click away before they read your articles.
I figured there had to be a way to get people to notice my article instead of the ad boxes. I came up with a simple but so far effective way to get the readers eyes to my articles.To test this theory i started a new pan name account under my main account at ezinearticles.
What I tried was For every article i put a bold headline In bold italics right at start of the article. The headline was written like a question the reader my want to find the answer to.
For example for the weight loss niche the headline could be-
"Do You Want To Lose That Last Five Pounds Fast?"
I also did some resource box tweaking and with this new account I have 40 live articles since April 28th and have 2099 views and 520 click through for a CTR of 25%. This CTR is with a few articles not having my new resource box layout and dragging it down slightly. I actually have one article with a CTR of 65%!!!!
My next post will be on what I am doing to get those 25% CTRS on my new account as opposed to the 16% my main account with just under 600 articles has.

Make Money With Clickbank-My Bum Marketing Plan That Is Simple and Will Work For You!
How To Make Money With clickbank and Bum Marketing
Here is a simple plan that I have been working on that I will be implementing very soon for my clickbank niches.The goal of this plan is to dominate lower competition keywords. If done correctly you could literally own the first page of Google for some keywords!
This is not a million dollar campaign though and may generate a sale or two per day or more or less depending on lots of variables. But if you can pump one of these out a month you could easily be making $100 a day in a few months!
Where To Start
Start by finding a product you want t promote the best place to do this is at clickbank analytics here you can see products and locate products much easier then the clickbank search option lets you. I tend to stick to niches that rarely change and alot of people want. Weight loss is one, it never changes and people will always want it. Where something like the nintendo WII has a limited life. Choose you niches wisely so they last along time!
The very next thing you need to do is find 30 low competition keywords for your product that you think you can dominate easily. There are many ways to do this but i have found that googles keyword tool works the best.
The subject of keyword research can take up a whole book so i will leave it at that.If you want a few advanced keyword research techniques that are out of the box and very effective check out www.dseventures.com/diggingforgold
After You Have Your Keywords
Start out by starting a squidoo lense based around three low competition keywords in your niche. You can do more but i find that if written well and set up right three lenses work out well for me.
I try and setup my lenses around problem keywords instead of general ones. What i mean is set them up so they help people solve a problem. For example the keyword "How To Make My Belly Flatter" would probably peak more interest then "weight Loss"
To build a squidoo lense the right way I recommend One Week Marketing. It will walk you through a lens setup step by step and give you valuable tips that will help yo make money fast!
Once Your Lenses Are Built
Next by a domain name relative to your offer and use it to redirect to your clickbank offer. I use www.namecheap.com since they are reliable, priced well and let you redirect for free so no hosting is needed!
Try and get something that is related to your niche,if you are in the bowling niche a domain name like www.bowlingdomination.com would work!
Start Writing Articles!
Next I write 10 articles to link to each lense (30 articles total) and submit them to the best article directory on the internet www.ezinearticles.com first. Each article is roughly 250-300 words and will include an anchor text link to my squidoo lense and and regular old www.domainname.com with a redirect link to the offer i am promoting.
Once this is done I take these articles and rewrite each one 6 times. You can do this by hand or use a article spinner, i use Magic Article Rewriter its not free but it is very much worth it if you are serious about making money. Just remember to spin both the title and resource boxes to get maximum effect and google rankings!
When I have my spun article i submit them to the following article directories. Keep in mind you do not have to spin them all at once. I usually spin one or two a day due to time constraints!
www.hubpages.com
www.goarticles.com
www.articledashboard.com
www.amazines.com
I also will auto submit them to 100 other low PR directories once the articles are approved at the main directories. I use Article Post Robot to automate the mass submission. The great part is that you can load content in spinning syntax into APR and it will submit a unique article to each directory.
In Addition To The Article Directories
Next I start two FREE blogger blogger blogs and post one of the spun articles on each one. This gives me two free blogs with 30 posts each at the end. You can use wordpress as well but i prefer blogger and its ease of use. Plus i get less spam comments from blogger blogs
Bookmarking Your Blogs and Squidoo Lenses
I do not go social book marking crazy all i do is use the two most powerful social sites that i know of digg and propeller.I digg each blog post and squidoo lense also I submit each post to propeller. At propeller get about 25 friends and join relative groups and share each submission with the groups and your friends. They will prop your story and get it seen more and ranking better.
Just make sure your titles are the low competition keyword you are targeting and usually these will show up in Google within hours.
Your post will get propped and usually rank well in google and drive traffic to your blogs. Most article directories cannot be bookmarked so do not even try! Try and get as many friends as you can to help yo prop your articles. Submit some mainstream news stories every so often to avoid looking like a spammer
I also submit the RSS feeds from my blogger blog,article directories and squidoo lenses to the popular RSS directories
www.feedagg.com
www.feedage.com
www.feedest.com
www.zimbio.com (you can also start your own ezine here)
In addition I also submit both my blogs to www.blogcatalog.com this site alone brings in a few visitors a day so its worth , best part is it's.
Once this plan is complete I have 120 articles,two blogs with 30 pages each and three squidoo lenses,rss feed directories all getting traffic and making me money.
At this point I say move onto another niche and let this one run it course and see how the sales go.If researched correctly and using well written articles this plan should generate about50-100 hops per day. I will leave the campaign alone at this point but if the sales come in and If it looks good then write more articles and promote it more.
If it does not perform then all you have lost is time, and it should make a sale here and there so its not a total loss!
I will be posting some tricks i use for article marketing, blog set up and other things that help just a little bit!
Additional FREE Things you Can Do To Drive Traffic and Make Sales
place craigslist ads
free ads on www.backpage.com
comment on relative blogs and hubpages
participate in related forums and use your signature to promote your blogs.
use yahoo answers and answerbag and answerville.com answer relative questions and link to yor blogs and articles

Clickbank Article Marketing-April 2009 Earnings Update
Well its been awhile since i posted last on my progressbut i wanted to report my earnings for April. It was not a very good month. Total profit for the month was $296.88
I did get hammered with an unusual amount of returns in April. The returns amounted to $85.90 so the actual sales for the month were $382.78 but the returns just pulled me down.
I kind of took it real easy in April and did not write that many articles. I am starting again and the sales for the month of May so far are $202.92 with no returns so far this month. So it appears as long as the articles are flowing out the money comes in.
I did have my biggest day online in May as well $73 and change from clickbank and $24 from another affiliate sales through paypal.
I am starting to think that this method of redirecting my domain to the merchants sales page may only have so much potential unless you have thousands of articles out there.
With that said I may switch over to CPA or actual products and article market those and see what happens.
I started to mess with squidoo and try and promote a product ont here. Hopefully that will go well and i will report back on that in the future.
Sorry for the short post but its nice here in Wisconsin and i gotta run outside and play with my kids!

Effective Tip For Finding Article Marketing Topics
Just a quick and effective article market tip that i picked up from
digging for gold
Head over to yahoo answers and type in a keyword for your niche in to the Yahoo Answers search box.This will allow you to see what questions are being asked over there that relate to your niche.
Find a few questions that seem like people would commonly ask. Then using the yahoo answers search box put the question in the box and see how many people have looked for that question or related questions. If it seems fairly popular write and answer to that question.
Submit your answer in the form of an article to ezinearticles and other top article directories. Articles that have titles that include phrases like "How can I,How Do I,Will I,How To" Will do very well on the article directories and should drive you some decent traffic to your sites or blogs.
For example if some posts a question "How do I Lose Weight Cheaply" Your article title could be "Weight Loss Tips-How Can I Lose Weight Cheaply"
If you are writing for a new niche you are not quite familiar with You can even use the answers that were given to the question to help you write your own unique article,just make sure to rewrite it in your own words. This simple but effective strategy works well.

March 2009 Making Money WIth Clickbank Article Marketing Progress Update
Well march came to a close and i missed beating Februarys earnings by a few dollars. I was still able to pull out $460.99 in earnings. It would have been over $525 but i had a few returns.Still I have about 15 hours of work invested this month writing articles so that to me is a pretty good return on investment. I have 102 live articles for my second product live at ezinearticles with 7 more waiting for approval. All articles are 250-275 words.
This month something weird was going on with CB. I had 4-5 day streaks with no sales and this was getting me worried.
There were even others on some popular Internet marketing forums that were experiencing the same thing as me. These were people doing consistent hundred dollar days then having sudden runs of no sales. Anyways It seems to me to have disappeared and went back to normal, for me anyway.
Even in this weird month I had my 3 highest earning days ever. I had two days in the $60 rang and one day i made just under $75!! I just need to hit my first $100 day and i will be happy.
I really feel it is all going to start paying off soon and I am looking into outsourcing some tasks like article writing and possibly article submissions.
The bad news is my first product i started promoting has really fallen in sales. It is a hobby related item and i think that once the economy picks back up the sales will start again, after all it is getting 100-150 hops per day from 132 articles.
I am also in the process of setting up a sales page for my own product and am curious to see how that works out! It is non Internet marketing related!
Additional earnings were $4.32 from bidvertiser, $1.63 from ebay partner network and $60 for a 10 pack of articles I wrote for another marketer. So all in all i Did over $500 this month.

February clickbank article marketing update
my february sales were doing great then suddenly decreased. I still finished up the month with a total sales commisions of $463.42 it was $488.34 but i had one return.
So far that is the only return i have had so i must be picking good products!!
I am not sure why may sales decreased, i have the same amount of hops but the sales dropped off.I am thinking it is the economy and people are nervous about buying anything right now.
Additionally i had alot of my ads removed from craigslist and i think alot of my sales were coming from there.
I am re evaluating my craigslist plan and will report how that goes.
The first day of march looked good with $47.72 as of 3:30 pm CST so maybe that will be an indicator that things will turn around for me.
I have to do better then last month or i will be frustrated to say the least.
And again all the sales are either from craigslist ads or ezinearticles redirecting right to the merchants sales page and no website of my own.

Earnings With Clickbank Article Marketing
Since i have been reporting on my clickbank earnings i thought i would post some proof of what i am posting. Here is a screen shot i took at 8:50 CST on the 13th of February. As you can see i have good days and bad days for sales. But with consistent effort and work my earnigns and sales are starting to pick up more and more.I would never go back to adsense again after getting my clickbank efforts to start producing a profit for me.
I do not miss that feeling of wondering about being Adsense compliant of if i am getting click bombed or anything else that would jeopardize my account.
All of my efforts were done with free methods like article marketing, craigslist, blog comments and other popular free methods.
While these earnings are not huge by clickbank standards they are a decent side income for me and i feel good about going from zero clickbank sales to a few hundred a month in 2 and a half months.
As of February 12th i had earned $250.45 in sales that puts me at $20.87 a day. Since i was making between $25 and $30 a day with adsense I am thrilled with those numbers!!
February 1st-12th Clickbank Earnings Shot

Article Marketing Clickbank Products Update
Well the month of January was OK total sales for that month were $305.03 Not that great but much better then when i started out. February is starting out great. I started promoting a new product that pays out over $20 per sale and over $40 if they buy the up sell. I sold 4 a the end of January so that helped boost the earnings.
So far a few have bought the up sell and sales so far for February are $65.06 which makes me feel pretty good considering it is only the third day of the month so i feel i should easily pass last months $300 mark.
The new product i am promoting i have been using article marketing, and a few other free methods like blog comments and craigslist so it has really not cost me anything to increase my earnings accept time. I am averaging about a sale per 150 hops which to me is not to bad.
I did accomplish getting to #1 author in my first niche and having 11 out of 15 spots in the most viewed articles section at ezinearticles which i am sure is helping to fuel sales of the older product i promoted. I have 132 live articles for the product I am promoting.
My goal is to have at least 3-4 good campaigns up this year to help increase my income, i am going to stick to things people like and need. Weight loss, make money and maybe one more that i have yet to decide.

Clickbank Article Marketing Progress Update
January started off very very well. I made six sales in the first four days of the year for a total of $100.88. I also had a few days with
This may seem low for six sales but the initial product i was promoting only paid out just under $10. But i also sold a credit repair course and a copy of Instant Article Wizard for a combined commission of $55.41.
Then right after the 4th it slowed very badly, i had one sale on the 6th and another on the 8th and nothing since from clickbank. Alot of hops but no sales!!!
Although i did make a $47 commission from selling a copy of a cool article submission tool called article post robot on the 12th and also sold an old website i had for $75 on the same day.
I also made my first Ebay partner network commission of $4.57, just under the minimum payout of $5. This is from writing some simple hubpages and using their tools to display Ebay Ads.
So all in all January is not good but not bad, time will tell.
I now have 114 live articles at ezinearticles.com for this niche and another 4 waiting for review. I fell short of my writing goal over my vacation but had a great relaxing twelve days off work.

Article Marketing And Clickbank Progress
Well after my great week sales dropped off the face of the earth which i attribute to the Christmas holiday rush. I had no sales from December 20th-25th. But i did have two on the 26th and two more on the 28th. So i think that now that Christmas has passed people should be getting back to normal again and sales should pick up.
I wrote a few more articles and will be writing at least 30 this week but am shooting for 50 to have at last 130 live articles for this product. I have 80 live so far.
I did learn one valuable lesson recently. I had a sale that gave me about half of what i normally make for commission. I emailed the merchant directly and they told me they list the percentage of sale on clickbank based off the customer buying an up sell they offer not off the actual product price. They claim most people take the up sell so they feel OK about listing it this way.
Most of my sales took the up sell so its not that big a deal but something to be aware of and double check. Only two out of twenty four sales did not take it so at this point I am ok with it.

Clickbank Article Marketing Progress
This week i had a sale everyday of the week except for today, that's a pretty good accomplishment for me and it shows me that my work is paying off. I am still redirecting all my ezinearticles traffic directly to the affiliate sales page.
The sales i had this week were the result of 66 live articles at ezinearticles. I have 12 more waiting to get approved and that will take me to 78 live articles for this niche. Considering its the week before christmas and most people are not shopping for info products i fell pretty good about it!
What I Want to Do Next
I have a week off of work between Christmas and new years and i am going to try and write 50 articles in that time to get my live articles up to 125.
After i get to 125 I think i am going to try and put up some squidoo lenses and maybe examine building a list.
This week I also made some free landing pages at Blogger, i used a simple technique and the landing pages are actually now getting a few visitors a day free Google traffic and the exit links on the sales pages have a great click through ratio of almost 80%.
I am going to leave them up and see if the sales link still has a good CTR then send all my ezinearticle traffic there and try to build a list as well as a pre sell instead of just right to the merchants sales page.
I am not sure of a time frame for all of this but i will get it done as soon as i can!

I have a week off of work between Christmas and new years and i am going to try and write 50 articles in that time to get my live articles up to 125.
After i get to 125 I think i am going to try and put up some squidoo lenses and maybe examine building a list.
This week I also made some free landing pages at Blogger, i used a simple technique and the landing pages are actually now getting a few visitors a day free Google traffic and the exit links on the sales pages have a great click through ratio of almost 80%.
I am going to leave them up and see if the sales link still has a good CTR then send all my ezinearticle traffic there and try to build a list as well as a pre sell instead of just right to the merchants sales page.
I am not sure of a time frame for all of this but i will get it done as soon as i can!

Selling Clickbank Products Through Article Marketing
This week should wrap up with 5 sales. I have not done much all week because I had a bad cold, then my wife and kids got sick. Now my brother is getting married this weekend so everything is on hold.
I did however set up a small Google Adwords campaign to try and sell the product through. So far i have made one sale from 10 clicks. The only problem is my CTR for my ads really stinks!
I have to work on improving that and will go from there and see if i can make some more sales via PPC.
I currently have 51 live articles at ezinearticles in my niche and from what i have seen so far i will need at least 100-150 to make 1-2 sales per day which is my ultimate goal.
I do plan on hammering out about 10-15 articles next week, unless christmas shopping gets in the way!

Adsense Account Disabled-Try This Adsense Alternative And Make More Money
After two years with Google Adsense my adsense account got disabled. I am really not sure what violation i was guilty of because Google will never tell you but I pretty much have narrowed it down to using unaltered PLR on really basic looking sites. I guess that put me i the Made For Adsense category. I have no hard feelings because like any business Google has to do what it feels has to be done to remain profitable.
Looking For An Adsense Alternative When You Lose Your Account
I was very nervous when i got the Adsense account disabled email. I was making anywhere from $600 to over $1000 on a pretty consistent basis for the last two years. In fact i was so content making that much that i never thought about diversifying or having an Adsense alternative in place to earn more money or keep my earnings if my adsense account ever got disabled. I was depressed to say the least.
The day after the email i snapped out of my sulking mood and got to work. I researched many different methods of making money online and settled on promoting a clickbank product. I knew nothing about doing this and figured i would find a good source of information.
I purchased a book called called secret article profits it goes over affiliate article marketing and kind of opened my eyes how easy it is to make money without Adsense. The method involves using simple redirects to have people land on the affiliate sites salespage using article marketing and clickbank hoplinks. Since i was already article marketing for my adsense sites i knew i could blast out 30 articles in a few days and see what happens.
The product i picked does not have a high commission, its around $10 but it is in niche that i have been involved in for over ten years. I figured this was a good fit and i could write some articles quickly around this niche and hopefully get some cash rolling back in.
The results were nice, in 12 days i had made 4 sales for just under $40 from 26 articles submitted only to www.ezinearticles.com Total time writing the articles was 5 hours, and i did it on my lunch hour at work so it did not interfere in my family time at all. The product has a conversion rate of around 1.5% so far. So for every 100 people that get redirected to merchant sales page i make 1 and a half sales or about $15. What adsense niche are you going to make $15 from 100 visitors???
My goal is to get this niche up to two or three sales a day then move onto the next niche and create residual income that way. The best part is that there is nobody looking over your shoulder and no terms to violate, clickbank does have a few rules but nothing major like Google has.
Plus when i did the math i was making way more with clickbank even with my smaller commission then i would with adsense for the same amount of clicks.
So my advice to anyone involved in just Adsense and nothing else is to diversify your income sources, its easier then you think and may just find that you wind up making more money then you do now.
