Just a quick Q: Do you build links to each page/article of your sites?

I assume you only have anchor texts to the main domain from Ezinearticles unless you submit a lot of articles there and each article has a different anchor text in bio box.

Focus can be hard. What kept me going when I first started was all the success stories and the clickbank screen shots I saw over at Affilorama. I actually set up this blog to help answer the questions that I had when I was first getting started like “how long will it take for me to earn $x?” or “how long before I can rank for x keyword?” I also wanted to help inspire people as well, like some of the successes at Affilorama did for me. Unfortunately, my recent clickbank screen shots aren’t really very inspirational…

I always thought you needed a separate set of articles for Ezine and AMA purposes. I thought Ezine would have check your %uniqueness(for duplicate content) before approving them but I must be wrong then.

Yes, keeping focus seems to be a problem for me and now I’ll just purely focus on building affiliate sites for the next few months with no distraction.

Just to add to Clayton’s advice – I use HumanRewriter.com for spinning articles for AMA. Again, I have to find and replace one of the delimiters but it’s no problem.

I can recommend offshoreally.com for link building. I’ve had a part time link builder for 2 weeks now and she does soooooo much more than I could ever do.

I tried social bookmarking, but I’m hoping that I don’t need to do this. It is incredibly boring and time consuming.

Right now, I’m just doing what I said above and I’m also submitting articles to about 150 other article directories using an automated software called Article Submission Helper (free). Then I’m using Free Traffic System to build backlinks to the Ezine page and a few other article pages that seem to rank well. I have to reformat my spun articles for Article Submission Helper and Free Traffic System, but it’s pretty easy. Just a simple find/replace command to change all the spinning syntax. I just started using ASH and FTS a few weeks ago, so I haven’t seen any results yet. Maybe next month…?

Keep at it and don’t give up!

Nice to see you progressing again! I really need to focus on just one thing and get going as I got sidetracked again. Oh well….

Just a quick question to ask if I may:

Did you use the same articles that you submitted to Ezine and spin them then use AMA? And do you submit to Ezine first before you trying to spin them and use AMA?

BTW, apart from AMA and Ezine, are you using any other methods like social bookmarking and stuff?

If you can, take advantage of your student status and build a student page on your school’s domain and link to your sites. This will earn you a few coveted .edu backlinks which can help a lot with your SERP’s. Also, try to find ways of taking parts of your life and turning them into affiliate opportunities. For example, you have a dog. You could probably make a dog training site pretty easily with what you already know. I just started taking Japanese classes and I’m using that as a great opportunity to get content and build a “learn Japanese” site. Why not get paid for something you’re going to do anyway?

I don’t have a whole lot of experience with outsourcing. I just tried it for the first time and have had pretty good results. If you want, contact my guy: jamesbryan2009 (at) gmail.com. He’s an affilorama member, so he knows all about everything and can format spun articles for AMA without you having to explain it all. Some of the articles I got from him are flat-out amazing. Much better than I could ever dream of writing.
