Advertisements Websites For Backlinks
I’ve talked about Craigslist and USFreeAds previously, but in that case, I was analyzing these two advertising websites in terms of rankings in search engine results pages. Well, it wasn’t really long time ago, and nothing changed since then. If you still thinking about where’s the best place to put your content to hit the top of SERPs, then you should go for Ezine or Squidoo, rather than Craigslist or USFreeAds.
However, did you know how powerful are these websites in terms of backlinks? I’m not actually talking about just Craigslist and USFreeAds here. There are literally thousands of advertisements websites out there on the Internet, and you can use them to your advantage. Of course, you are not going to sell anything, because you don’t own any products, unless you are a publisher, but you are going to get visitors from those sites to your landing pages, or where ever you want them to go.
Don’t make spammy ads, which will probably get flagged and deleted just in few hours, but try to be more realistic, when creating ads. I know, it might be a bit difficult, because you don’t have anything to sell, but you can always make your ads to provide some value. You may even want to write some really short articles, where at the end you would put the link to your site. In this case, you shouldn’t expect tons of visitors, eventhough that you will get some traffic, but the key point here is to gain backlinks.
Make sure that you post your ads in relevant categories, so you don’t confuse Google, because it is looking at who’s linking to you. So if you have a website about weight loss, don’t go randomly to cars category, and start promoting your fat loss programs there. I know it’s obvious thing to say, but I just want to make sure, that you are going the right way. Also make catchy titles, if you want to get extra visitors, but as I said, don’t rely too much on traffic from these sites, because usually it doesn’t convert.
Another important factor here is that you have to do this in as many advertisements websites as possible. This will give you maximum advantage over competitors. I do see sometimes, people using Craigslist or USFreeAds for backlinks, but they forget about smaller sites, such as 5StarAds or Kijiji and many others. So what you can do is try to use quite a few, not just the 2 biggies.
This technique can be especially useful for blogs. If you still haven’t started your first blog, or you have one, but it’s making you nothing, then you definitely should check out Rob Benwell’s Blogging To The Bank 3.0 guide. Click here for my review.
Why You Need To Diversify & Promote Many Products
Diversification is one of the most important things you have to do, when promoting products online. As an affiliate you need to focus on varies markets, and push different products. The reason for that, is because when something happens and one product stops making you sales, the rest will still make you money. You should never “put all your eggs in one basket”.
Now don’t get me wrong here. I’m not trying to say that you need to pick 20 products and start promoting them all at once. No way, you should never do that, and you won’t get anywhere. What you need to do at the beginning, is select about 2-3 products and work on them. Once you establish your websites for those products, start ranking in Google at top spots, getting traffic and making money, then you can expand further.
This is exactly what I’m doing right now, and you should be doing the same. You need to understand that this is a quite long process, and don’t try to rush, because you might make silly mistakes. The key thing here is not to promote hundreds of products, but to promote few of them, which are making you money. Don’t start new projects, unless you have finished the old ones. Also make sure that you still take care of older products, when you move on to new ones. When you expand, you may need to start outsourcing some of your work, because it becomes quite complicated to manage everything.
The good about all this, is that once you develop your own system of promoting products, then it becomes like a daily routine to add more products to your list. The most difficult part is the start, when you need to figure what to actually do, and how to push your stuff. Once you got that, then it’s just the matter of replicating your success.

Rat Race Annihilation Review - 15 Internet Millionaires Revealing Their Secrets
I have to warn you right now, that Rat Race Annihilation is not a new, revolutionary system to making six figures yearly. It doesn’t have step-by-step instructions to get you started, neither it explains the basics of affiliate marketing. I would say that Rat Race Annihilation is a collection of interviews with 15 online gurus, who are making a living online, working from home. They all are experts in different sections of Internet marketing, such as PPC, product publishing, SEO, etc. The golden part of this guide is that these people are sharing with you their route to success.
The authors of Rat Race Annihilation are Rob Benwell and Michael Nicholas. You may know Rob Benwell from his Blogging To The Bank series, and Michael Nicholas is pretty famous as well, eventhough I’m not a big fan of his products. Anyway, so the whole ebook is full of question and answers. I am 100% sure that newbies will find this guide very confusing, because it’s a mixture of lots things, without any instructions on how to use them.
However, I think experienced marketers will find there some useful tips and tricks, which they can apply to their everyday routine. Basically, the questions asked to the gurus are pretty much the same through out the guide. They involve things, such as how they got started, what they did at first, what’s the biggest mistake they’ve made, what’s their advice to beginners, etc. Obviously, each guru from different expertise will give different directions. So let me quickly tell you a little bit about people, who are being interviewed.
The people in Rat Race Annihilation are well-known to Internet marketing world, because they have launched variety of amazing products with tremendous success. These guys include, Jacobo Benitez, who went from being a cheap web designer to Adwords expert making 5 figures monthly, Dave Gale - the window cleaner, who now is making a living online using PPC, Dylan Loh - the guy, who makes hundreds daily using articles without spending a dime, Chris McNeeney - the author of Clickbank record-breaking Day Job Killer and many other online gurus.
Rat Race Annihilation has interviewed almost every person on Internet marketing arena. If you always wondered, who are those “big boys” or how they are making millions online, then these interviews will be very interesting to you. Normally these guys wouldn’t tell you anything 1on1, would they? However, in this guide they do.
In the conclusion, I would like to tell you 1 reason, why I loved Rat Race Annihilation, and 1 reason why I hated it. Well, I have to say that it was nice to find out literally everything about those gurus and how they are making money. It’s like sitting in one room, and having conversion with them, which is great, isn’t it? However, the downside of this product is that sales page is too hyped up. It simply promises too much, saying you will “quit the rat race in 30 days”, get “six figure blueprints”, etc. The truth is that you don’t get anything like that, and I would be surprised if someone would quit their job and start working from home, after reading this guide.
I don’t want to say that Rat Race Annihilation is useless, but it contains very little information for beginners and it’s NOT a step-by-step blueprint to making money online. All you get are interviews from online gurus, sharing their success. That’s what this is all about. So if you want to know how these guys have started out, and went from making $1k a month to $200k+ a year, then click here to check out RRA.
Clickbank Tracking & Cloaking Hoplinks
In the past few weeks I had really weird sales fluctuations, and I thought maybe the problem was in Clickbank’s TID or in cloaking hoplinks. I am sure you have also experienced recent sales drops. So instead of wondering, what was the problem, and I decided to do a little test for few days.
Basically, I removed all the Clickbank tracking ID’s from my hoplinks, and also I decloaked them, meaning no HTML or PHP redirect. Just a simple hoplink. I know it’s quite stupid, because your links look really ugly, and you are not tracking anything, but I thought that I really needed to do this to find out, whether this causes any problems or not.
To be honest, I wasn’t expecting that Clickbank tracking or the cloaking hoplinks would cause any trouble, and my expectation were true. In 3-4 days time, I received the same amount of targeted traffic and hops as I usually do, but there was no difference in my sales. It could be just a bad period, I guess.
The reason why I’m writing this is to let affiliates and publishers know, that there is nothing wrong with Clickbank tracking or cloaking hoplinks. You can use ID as usual, and cloak your links, if you want. I personally think, that if you are having unusual sales fluctuations, when getting the same amount of traffic, but not making sales, when you normally do, then I’m pretty sure, it’s either Clickbank payment processing issues or it’s lower profit period for your market.
Clickbank is constantly having some problems, that’s the reason why a lot of people have decided to cut their efforts towards this network. If you are one of them, then you might be interested in starting to blog. Blogging is one of the best ways to make money online, and famous Internet marketer, Rob Benwell, has made a step-by-step blueprint for anyone to learn how to start blogging. It’s called Blogging To The Bank 3.0. Check out my review here.
