The heart of any website is the content it contains. It’s what draws visitors, keeps them coming back and influences how the search engines (particularly Google) value your site.

A site that’s all bells and whistles with little or no real content will always be outperformed by a more plainly designed site that has content.

If you don’t have an affiliate program, then you are missing out on thousands of dollars in profits. Affiliate Programs can bring in 4 to 5 to 6 and even more figures than a product without an affiliate program.

Now I realize that you may not be adding an affiliate program to your product because you don’t know where to start.…

Just a reminder that GVO is being opened to the public later today (Sept. 15th). This is your last chance to secure a spot above all those who join after the official launch. Get in here.…

In the last post, I looked at options for getting traffic to your sites that don’t cost any money, but cost some time and effort. This time, I’ll look at some methods that do cost money but don’t cost much time or effort.

Kiosk are rebranding themselves and are launching a new all-in-one service that includes Kiosk Hosting, an Autoresponder, an Easy Video Producer Video service, and Hot Conference. If you’re familiar with these heavy-hitter internet marketing names – Mike Filsaime, Michael Cheney, Frank Bauer – it’s the hosting company they (and most of the other big boys) use.…

If you bought my SiteBuilder Elite website authoring package, you’ll know that I recommend Hostgator as a webhost. Why them and not GoDaddy who are a huge brand in the web hosting business?

Well, first off, I have used both hosting platforms so I have good experience of both. For me, however, GoDaddy is all about making people aware of their brand and not providing an end product that’s good enough. It’s a classic example of style over substance.

Welcome!

My name is Gary Nugent and welcome to my blog. I have been an internet and affiliate marketer since 2004 and I now make a full time living online.

It’s been a hard slog to get where I am today, with a steady income each month. I’ve tried many things over the years, most of which didn’t work out for me personally. And I’ve spent tons of money on courses (physical products with CDs and DVDs), online courses, e-books and …
