    The Benefits of Affiliate Marketing
    Affiliate programs are designed to allow a person (or business) to earn a commission from the sale of another (usually related) product just by placing a link to the company’s affiliate code on their website. If a visitor to the site bearing the link makes a purchase, the affiliate makes the sale, and so does the person promoting that affiliate product, just for referring the buyer to that particular link.

    Big Guide Through On Page SEO Factors - Part 2
    Keywords in the titleTry to include the main keywords in the title. Keywords in title are extremely important so never underestimate this step! Title of every page should be unique, depending on the page topic. Place the title as high as possible in the website source, ideally as the first tag in the "head" section.Google shows about 60 first letters of the title in SERPs, Yahoo! and MSN a little more. So
    In my previous article I discussed how you can use a series of inter-linked lenses to increase your traffic and therefore sales potential. In this article I’m going to talk about the importance of building links and PR for your lenses and how to use Squidoo for maximum marketing impact.

    In my previous article I talked about building a series of interlinked ‘hobbyist’ and ‘sales’ lenses. In this way you can create a series of sub-niche pages that will drive traffic to either your ‘sales’ lenses or your website or blog. In effect, to create a mini-website in Squidoo. So, how can you further maximise the potential of your lenses?

    Social Bookmarking

    An important point to remember again here, is that your Squidoo ‘website’ should be treated as would any other site or blog in the Web 2.0 environment. So that means back links and PR are just as important.

    The best thing to do is visit any number of the popular social bookmarking sites, like Blogmemes, del.icio.us, Rawsugar, etc. (I use 10 -12) and add links there to your ‘hobbyist’ lenses. These one way incoming links, with their PR, will then filter throughout your lenses. If you keep your ‘hobbyist’ lens purely that. i.e. no selling on them at all, you could even consider adding a link to it from Wikipedia.

    In addition, if your lenses also link to your website or blog, that PR will eventually filter to those as well.

    Remember also to keep the distraction down on your lenses. You should not try to make money directly from your lenses, from a percentage of the adsense revenue, etc. Your purpose is to get visitors to your sales lenses or sales pages in your site. So steer clear of adding the Amazon, eBay link modules.

    BT Glows While the Royal Post Offices are Shut Down
    Within a six year period Sir Christopher Bland managed to turn around the fortunes of a then ailing BT into a possible global player in the telecoms arena. His applause during the presentation of the latest figures is well deserved. He truly took a dead government department and pushed it into a new age business.So what happened to the Post Office? Nothing, of course, but that is not the point. Of course BT was

    Google Spreads Out
    To test one of its search features that offers stock quote directly, I typed GOOG, Google’s NASDAQ code, in Google’s search box and pressed enter. In a jiffy, Google’s latest stock price came on view, which indicated a somewhat flattish trend in the preceding trading session. The stock closed at around 370 (March 27), trailing by nearly 22% from its all-time high reached not long back. Google is a fancied stock, its pr

    Capture Your Leads

    The most important point, and one that a surprising number of current lens users are missing, is capture your leads.

    The best way to do this is to give away a free bonus, a free report or tip sheet or a subscription to your newsletter if you have one.

    I’m surprised at how many marketers are not doing this directly from their lenses. Perhaps many are using their lenses to direct people to their sites or blogs and they assume they will capture the lead there. I think this is missing a huge opportunity. I know I have had many sign ups from my lenses who never go further than the lens.

    It is also technically tricky to get an opt-in form on a Squidoo lens. There’s a bit more to it than just cutting and pasting the code from your autoresponder service provider. It’s not the purpose of these articles to go into the technicals but you use what is called an iframe...which is simply putting a window of a size you specify inside of another website...so in essence it is almost like displaying a image in a blog post...you have to upload the image and place it between ‘img’ tags...

    It is similar but you have your opt-in form set up on a separate website...and use the iframe tags to place it on your lens...

    There is lens on it in Squidoo http://www.squidoo.com/iframes

    So to sum up, you should treat your Squidoo Lenses in the same way as a website… employ social bookmarking techniques for indexing and PR, keep the exits from your lenses to only those you want and, whatever you do, get you
