Best WordPress Theme for Landing Pages and Affiliate Sites
Filed under: General Marketing, Make Money Online, Niche Marketing
If you’re involved with affiliate marketing or niche marketing, you know that setting up a website is key to maximizing your profits (as opposed to just sending people to the affiliate offer directly.) Here are a few of the reasons why creating your own site is important:
- SEO – You can’t optimize the advertisers website or landing pages for the search engines using your affiliate link. However, if you create your own site using your own domain name you can optimize it and benefit from the free traffic the search engines provide.
- Testing – You can’t change anything on the affiliate offer site, so you aren’t able to see what conversion rate works best. Continually testing and optimizing your landing pages and affiliate sites appearance allows you to maximize your earnings.
- Ownership – If you spend a bunch of time bringing traffic directly to an affiliate offer and the advertiser ends the promotion… you’re screwed. Now if you spend your time bringing traffic to YOUR site or landing page instead of directly to the advertiser you’ll be able to replace the old affiliate offer with a new offer provided by the same advertiser or a new advertiser.
Example: Replace “Free Apple iPod Nano” with “Free Apple iPod Touch” or “Free Macbook Pro”
It’s obvious that having your own site or landing page to promote an offer and convert traffic (ie: entering their e-mail address or zip code) will not only increase your conversion rate but help you create an asset as an affiliate. Setting up and creating your own affiliate sites is time consuming and even though it’s cliche… “Time = Money.” If you’re spending too much time setting up your site or landing page you’re really only burning extra time you could be using to market your site, build links and generate traffic.
What if there was a way to easily setup affiliate sites and landing pages? No matter the offer or the layout you’re looking for, being able to easily setup an affiliate site or landing page can help any of us save time and increase our profits.
Say “Hello” to The Affiliate Theme
Unique Blog Designs just released a new theme… the theme to end all other themes. The Affiliate Theme is a beautiful looking theme for WordPress. Then best part is that it can be modified and personalized at an extreme level – WITHOUT HAVING TO TOUCH A SINGLE LINE OF CODE! A unique feature in the Affiliate Theme is that the “theme options” page has been created to allow you to change pretty much every aspect of the theme in a nice, slick, easy-to-understand user interface. (See the Theme Options Panel)
UPDATE: In response to a question posed by a Twitter fan (@websitewriters) the Affiliate Theme is indeed an SEO friendly WordPress theme! When creating affiliate sites and hoping to get search engine traffic, having your WordPress theme work against you is the last thing you need! Just another reason to get the Affiliate Theme!
Check out the following sites created with the Affiliate Theme (take notice of how different they look):
They’re all created using the same exact theme! Amazing! So whether you just need a 1-page landing page site, or a full blown affiliate product review site, The Affiliate Theme has exactly what you need. I love this theme, and can’t wait to start using it for my future niche sites (and even replacing the theme on some under-performing niche sites I already own.)

How to Get More Twitter Followers: Using Twitter Search
Now in order to get more followers on Twitter you need to provide people with a reason to follow you. This can’t be done by following every single person you can find on twitter and hoping they follow you back but you can still get more followers this way. That is not only really time consuming but you’re really not building relationships with any of your followers if all you’re doing is adding them at random.
Instead of only aiming for more twitter followers you can build a relationship with your followers and gain their trust. You can do this by just getting to know them by telling them what fruit is in season or maybe linking them to an upgrade for internet explorer. When you’re able to gain the trust of your twitter followers it won’t be difficult to convert them in to customers.
Watch this video on how to Use Twitter Search and build a relationship with your followers on Twitter.

Real Estate SEO and Niche Marketing Tips
Filed under: General Marketing, Niche Marketing, Search Engine Optimization
When I create niche sites, they are about very random topics. For some, their niche is real estate because that is their job. They’ve realized that the internet can be a fantastic resource for getting new customers. But, many don’t know much about seo in general, let alone real estate seo. They also don’t know basic internet marketing principles, let alone real estate internet marketing hot spots.
I have worked to gather a list of resources for real estate agents, brokers, and others involved in this niche to increase their web presence in both the search engines and other social media resources. Hope these help! (also, if you can read between the lines, you can find some great seo and internet marketing tips in general… just apply them to your niche)
