Affilorama Review

Affilorama Is The No.1 Site On The Internet To Get Started As A Newbie Affiliate Marketer

 

affilorama review - the best affiliate training centerA friend o f mine wanted to start making money online and decided that affiliate programs were the way to go. She asked me about the best way to get started and which was the best site for affiliate marketing newbies. I replied: That's Affilorama. Ok wait a minute..... I pointed her to Affilorama and I suddenly realized that although I think that this site is great for newbies, I have actually never talked about it on my blog.... So this is the reason why I am writing an Affilorama review today. It's definitely a great program that is the best way for anyone who wants to get started making money online.

What Is Affilorama?

Basically Affilorama is much more than a marketing course. It is a complete affiliate training center. The best part is that you can join absolutely free and you will instantly get access to tons of resources. Once you join Affilorama for free you will get immediate access to information on e.g.: how to do market research, everything you need to know about PPC, marketing ideas, content creation and site building. You will also get access to great tools and software for FREE.

Ok... did I mention it is FREE? Right, Affilorama will give you FREE affiliate training and access to all of the tools and software above.There is no credit card required or any other strings attached. The free affiliate training alone is one of the many reasons why I think Affilorama is the best source online for any newbie marketer. Ah.. and I forgot to mention: there is also a busy forum where you exchange ideas, meet others, and get help - Join Free HERE

But it does not stop here. You can upgrade and become a Premium member any time.... Ok you might say that I just mentioned that there are no strings attached? Becoming a premium member is absolutely NOT REQUIRED. Even if you decide to stay a free member forever, you will still get access to all of the training and software I mentioned.

What I Really Like About Affilorama Is That It Is Completely Transparent! They Are Not There To Take Your Money and Run Away! Basic Membership is FREE And All Premium Memberships Cost $1 For A 1 Week Trial! If You Do Not Think That You Can Benefit From It.. JUST CANCEL!

 

Becoming an Affilorama Premium member is like opening Pandora's Box :-) - There are several types of Affilorama premium memberships:

Free WordPress Themes Might Spell Disaster After Google Penguin

Find Out Why Free WordPress Themes Might Get You Into Trouble!

Yes, right: free WordPress themes might spell disaster, especially after the latest Google Penguin update. The reason is simple: Google webmaster guidelines for websites clearly state that it is against Google terms to have invisible links on your website. In the latest Google update websites with hidden links were penalized radically.

Did You Lose Rankings During The Latest Google Algo Update? Here Is Why Free WordPress Templates Might Get You Into Trouble!

So you might be a "vicitm" of Google Penguin and so far you had no idea what's wrong with your site, because you neither participated in any linking schemes nor did you create 1000s of spam links. May be the reason for your website getting penalized is your WordPress theme. Millions of webmasters use free WordPress themes. They can conveniently be downloaded from inside the WordPress admin panel, they often look beautiful and professional, they can be activated within seconds and the are FREE.

Have you ever thought about why those templates are free? Do you believe that they are free, because there are 1000s of creative webdesigners out there who want to share their creative work with the world?

Stay Away From Free WordPress Themes Or At Least Be Very Careful!

Ok, so now it is time to open your eyes! 99.9% of those creative webdesigners are not nice guys who are proud of their creative work and want to share it with you for free. Those free WordPress themes are created for a purpose: to make money. In most cases not to make money directly, but to get backlinks. Almost all free WordPress templates contain links back to the creator. And don't get me wrong: that's absolutely fine, they should be credited for their work! The problem is that TONS of free WordPress themes contain hidden links. Right, you won't see those links, because they are embeded in the HTML Code. However, the search engines will see those links and PENALIZE your site for breaking Google's rules. Even worse: some templates might even point to website's hosting malicious code or porn sites. I am sure you don't want to link to xxx sites! That's bad neighborhood and another reason for Google to dump your site.

Free Worpdress Themes Are in Most Cases NOT Optimized For Search Engines

And there is another big problem with free wordpress themes: most of them are not optimized for search engines at all. Why should the creator care about SEO optimization? The main goal of those free templates is to get as many backlinks as possible. In addition, most designer's are just designer's and have no idea about optimizing websites for search engines. So these are two reasons why free WordPress themes might get you into trouble and because of the lack of Seo optimization you might either get penalized or rank lower, because of poor onpage SEO.

Check Your WordPress Blog For Hidden Links With TAC

There is a great free WordPress plug-in that will check your website for hidden links (of course that does not help if your theme offers poor onpage SEO). The plugin is called TAC and will scan your blog within seconds and alert you in case hidden links are found. And by the way: not only may templates add hidden links to your Blog, it is the same with Worpdress plug-ins. You can read an interesting thread on hidden links in WordPress Blogs here.

Scanning your blog with TAC is a great thing to do, however, it won't help optimizing your blog for search engines. If you are serious you might want to think about getting a paid WordPress theme. Those themes are optimized and free of hidden links, because those templates are not created for the sake of getting backlinks, but to make money selling them.

Below you can find a list of WordPress themes I recommend:

Ahrefs Review

Ahrefs Is The Ultimate Search Engine Analysis Tool

ahrefs reviewChecking your rankings is essential. You need to know which strategies actually work and which ones are a waste of time. In one of my last posts I recommended Simple Seo Rank Check. This tool is indeed great if you are on a low budget and can't afford monthly costs.(It is just $28 one time).

If You Are Serious Join Ahrefs.com

However, if you are serious you need to know ALL about your backlinks. You do not only have to find out about your competitors links, you also need to know exactly who is linking to you and which anchor texts are being used. Checking the anchors of your backlinks has NEVER been so important than now after Google Penguin. In case you have too many of the same anchors you will run into a Google penalty!

November 2011 - The End Of Yahoo Siteexplorer - However, Ahrefs Gives Access To Even More Data

Until November 2011 Yahoo Site Explorer was available to anyone free of charge and one was free to check backlinks pointing to any domain. But Yahoo Site Explorer has been discontinued and now there is no free tool that offers a backlink check. The only tool that comes with this option and also offering tons of other functions to check your website's ranks and backlinks, linkloss, link gain anchors and so much more is Ahrefs.

The only downside: It is not free. The cheapest option is getting a basic membership for $49. But well... it is definitely worth the cost and it is one of those essential tools you should not be without. So if there is any way you can afford $49... do it! I can assure you that you will be glad you joined this site and you will profit SO MUCH from the detailed reports.

Ahrefs Main Features

1.New And Lost Link Check By Date

One of the most important features is the ability to check for new and lost backlinks by date. This option will allow you to determine which links actually helped your rankings increase or the opposite. You can also use it to learn about your competitors link practices. Which link helped them to increase rankings? This information is really valuable.

2. Details On Anchor Text Used

Anchor text. Now this feature is now more important than ever before after the latest Penguin update. To determine "unnatural links" Google now uses anchor text data to evaluate whether links are unnatural or not. You need a good mixture of links like brandname, plain url, variations of keywords etc. to avoid any penalties and to gain rankings. Hrefs.com anchor text tool will exactly show you which anchor texts are used on sites linking back to you. By getting access to this data you will be able to determine which anchor texts should be used in your future campaigns.

Examples of anchor text used for one of my domains. There are over 100 referring anchor texts found. It is obvious that anchor text 1. and 2. are used pretty often, so guess it is time to vary my anchor text a little more! (Click on image to enlarge!)

3. Overview of Rankings Including Gain And Loss

Get an instant overview of all keywords your domain ranks for in Google. Plus you will also see whether you rankings improved or declined. To my surprise I noticed several keywords ranking good in Google and I never built any backlinks to them. With the help of this information I was able to increase rankings for those particular keywords even more and increase website traffic.

An overview of rankings for one of my current domains. It only shows ranks for seven keywords. I only copied the first 7 because of image size. Of course ahrefs.com offers a list of ALL keywords your domain ranks for on Google. (Click on image to enlarge)

These are just the main benefits you get from ahrefs. There are many more features and functions e.g. you can export all data to .csv. In this way you can hand out professional reports to your clients. There are several membership pricing models. However, the average user will do fine choosing a basic membership. It gives you enough credits to check details for various domains.
