SBI (Site Build It) is much more than just another website creation tool. Behind it lie some really valuable tools that make it easy to identify what content you should be adding to your site, along with tools for getting your site noticed by both the search engines and real visitors.

SBI is about building a viable online business. Other website builders leave you high and dry once your website is built. How do you drive traffic? Engage visitors through social media? Promote your site? These are where SBI goes above and beyond (check out the tools you get here).

No, it’s not the cheapest website builder tool …

Top 8 Affiliate Marketing Courses

April 11, 2016
6 Comments

I’ve been thinking about all the affiliate and internet marketing courses I’ve done over the years. Hoi many just languish on my digital shelves and how many I actually used and still use. Many had short lifetimes because they exploited a loophole or trick to achieve their aim and, once that was plugged, whatever the course taught didn’t work any more.

Then there’s the simple reality that the internet is an incredibly dynamic entity. Google changes the rules on a what – daily, weekly, monthly basis? We get to hear about the big changes like Panda and Penguin but the knock-on effect of these changes has a direct bearing on how our …

Forever Affiliate – 6 Weeks On…

It’s now been 6 weeks since Andrew Hansen launched his Forever Affiliate affiliate marketing blueprint, so I thought it was time to provide a progress report on how I’ve been doing with it.


Andrew Hansen’s Forever Affiliate Course Members Area

Getting Started

The first couple of weeks I spent just going through the course materials, familiarizing myself with Hansen’s approach to product research, site structure and layout, competition analysis and promotional techniques. There are quite a few videos in the course (about 60) so it takes time to go through them.

If you’ve been reading my recent posts you’ll know that I was humming and hawing about whether to sign up …

A Review of Andrew Hansen’s “Forever Affiliate” Affiliate Marketing Course

February 23, 2013
2 Comments

I got a few email queries about what I thought of Andrew Hansen’s new Forever Affiliate course. As I mentioned in my previous post, I didn’t know anything about it apart from the fact that he’d just released a new course.

The course I consistently rely on is Mike Johnson’s Profit Marketer as it’s detailed, gets updated constantly and provides members with pre-configured blogs, top-notch plugins and themes and great support (there’s more on it here). I still dip back into the Bring The Fresh course as it takes a different approach to building blogs (it too is a comprehensive course) but Profit Marketer fits my needs better. …

With More Google Updates On The Way, What’s The Best Blogging Solution For 2013?

February 4, 2013

2012 saw two major updates to Google’s search engine known as the Panda and Penguin updates. These changed the landscape by introducing new criteria by which websites are ranked. It’s fair to say that while Google intended to scrub thin, spammy sites from its index and boost quality sites to the top of the rankings, the exact opposite happened.

There are plenty of stories about legitimate online businesses (not internet or affiliate marketers) who saw their sites (and earnings) tank overnight as a result of the Google updates (particularly Penguin). Despite the hue and cry that was raised at the time, Google remained uncharacteristically quiet in the aftermath. Perhaps they were too …

An Opinion On SENukeXcr

September 20, 2012
3 Comments

In early 2011, I started using a software tool which was way ahead of its time. I didn’t know this, but my Blogs sure did appreciate it. It allowed me to boost my positions in the search engines by submitting articles to Article Directories, Social Network and Social Bookmarking site, Web 2.0 properties, RSS aggregators and forums and, rather than it submitting in a shotgun effect, it used specific link building strategies to build tiered links that would provide more link juice to the blog or money site I was promoting. It was called SEnukeX and was a major upgrade to its previous incarnation – SENuke.

But, even with automation, there is …

Continuing Fallout For Affliate Marketers From Google Penguin Update

May 10, 2012
Leave a comment

Well, Google has thrown the cat among the pigeons again with its recent Google Penguin Update.

Many affiliate marketers have seen their traffic plummet in the last couple of weeks and site rankings have been affected as well. What’s more, searches for keyword phrases are tending to show sites with poor content above those with useful content, in the search results.

So What’s Going On?

Well, first of all, the Google Penguin update has proven to be very unsettling for those who do SEO and, let’s face it – that’s anyone who is making, or trying to make a living online. Even SEO professionals have been confounded by how their sites, …

I’m going to be talking about some changes that are required to your link building strategy today, thanks to a new little update at Google.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve probably heard by now that Google has been on a rampage this last month, testing out some new spam prevention features, and leaving devastated webmasters (and many affiliates) in their wake.

Unlike most algorithm updates, this is one that you really need to pay attention to if you’re an affiliate marketer looking for free traffic. This one has real and immediate implications.

Basically there are some changes you need to make to your link building strategy, starting today, and …
