Newbie Affiliate Marketing

Archive for the ‘Main Content’ Category

A couple of days ago, I was surfing Google to find some online sample providing service. There are several such service providers who are operating globally.  But the company that drew all my attention was United Sample. It is an online provider of sample solutions for the market research industry.

Sometimes it happen that among a pool of service providers, some appeal you more than the rest. This is the case when I entered the website of United Sample. I have always been passionate about design and art. So the first thing that I noticed in the website is a simple yet appealing logo with a cleanly designed website layout. It is the website’s no-nonsense approach in totality that attracts a visitor here. This sample survey site has four clear tabs that navigate to the separate web pages. The home page holds it all together. Here you can know about their global panel access, view the United Sample network, customize your sample targeting, get the quick contact number, read the latest news about the company and know about the global offices of the company.

Matt Dusig and Gregg Lavin founded this company in March, 2008. Prior to United Sample, the duo owned a brand named goZing since 1999 until it was sold to a public competitor in 2005. What I found most interesting about them is they use world class, best of breed technology to deliver top-notch service and streamlined data for wide range of online survey projects. It seems from their detailed approach to the service they provide that prior to the foundation of the company; their research team must have evaluated all aspects of this sample industry as they implemented a fresh approach to the recruitment and maintenance of online panelists. While reading the recent news section, I came to know about the increasing dependence of their clients which is proved with the company’s record triple‐digit sales increase over the previous year.

The company ensures quality data to their customers. The market research panels of the company cover automotive, B2B, Employment, Entertainment, Financial, Food and Drinks, Healthcare, IT, Telecom and Travel industry. The company can target panelists based on Geographic Criteria, Demographic Criteria, Past-Participation and Scheduling Start and Stop Times Rules. There area of operation includes North America, South America, Europe, Africa, Asia Pacific and Central America. It seems to me that the company aims to deliver excellent service to their clients while maintaining the best data quality available.

If you’re a local business owner looking for ways to realize more profits in today’s challenging business environment, then we have good news for you today. The business you are seeking may be right around the corner, literally! Utilizing local marketing online is a terrific way to garner new customers who may be already looking for you online. Marketing locally online can be a great way to find new customers, at very little or no cost.

Studies are showing that people search online first now, as opposed to the old way of picking up the telephone book to scour the yellow pages, or looking in the newspaper. Indeed, because of the costs of those types of advertising, most companies no longer consider them as an option. This is the major reason why newspapers and local yellow pages are dying across the country, as advertisers seeking to get the most for their advertising dollar look online and do the same thing better, only mostly for free!

This should be something you consider as well. If more than half of the people looking for local services are doing it online, that’s where you need to be. This figure is doubling every year at the moment.

Creating an online presence for your business is as simple as putting up a web page, but that’s not where it ends. There are some things you can do to make sure that your business is among the first ones found when one of your neighbors search for a business like yours. Optimizing your website for the specific keywords you’d like to be found for is the first step. If you have a local plumbing business in Tulsa, one of the words that your potential customers may be searching for is “Tulsa plumber”, or “unclog my pipes Tulsa”. Think like your customers when figuring this out and you’ll strike gold.

Also available are tools like Google Maps, which can, in certain markets, put your business on the first page of a search for your local service. You can also use some highly targeted local pay per click advertising. This means that you use a program like Google Adwords that serves up ads next to the search results. You bid on ad positions, and when a searcher clicks on your ad, you pay a certain amount. This can be an almost instant way to drive traffic to your website, and if you highly targeted keywords, can be done at minimal cost as well.

Getting your site listed on any local directories, Chamber of Commerce webpages, and local online newspapers is a great way to get noticed. Beyond that continuing to build your local online presence by targeting more keywords, putting more and useful content on your website, and in general talking it up will get more local business than you thought possible.

Syndicate Kahuna is a tool for bloggers that allows you to ‘syndicate’ your content (as the name suggests!). This means that if you have some sort of post to advertise, whether it is a press release, a promotional video or some sort of advert, you simply submit it once to SyndicateKahuna.com and it will appear on over 4,000 blogs worldwide and the number of blogs featured is growing all the time. This also works the other way – you can receive content off other members and have it posted straight to your blog to give it consistently fresh content so that your readers are always coming back for more. All you need to do is upload a small file onto your blog to make it happen, and you can leave your blog on without having to do anything! Once your blog is monetized this means you can make serious amounts of cash without actually lifting a finger – it’s perfect!

The part that will interest marketers is the way to submit your content to thousands of websites. The blogs accepted have to meet strict guidelines so that you are sure that you are advertising to blogs that won’t damage your reputation or, perhaps more importantly, your search engine rankings. When you submit your content it doesn’t always go to the same blogs each time so that it looks completely organic to search engines and gives you much better exposure, and various pieces of article-spinning software are included when you sign up so that the content distributed to each blog doesn’t look duplicated so can’t harm your search engine rankings. Staff are employed and highly trained to keep moderating all the blogs in the network to check they are all of the right quality, and ones that aren’t get removed very quickly to ensure you are getting the best product available. Furthermore your content isn’t just released to all the blogs at once giving them all identical timestamps, it’s actually released in short blasts to give you a ‘trickle’ effect.

The other site of Syndicate Kahuna is signing up to having articles placed on your site – this is also a great way to drive traffic to your site and hopefully generate a good amount of cash in affiliate sales. The best part of this idea is that it is 100% free, unlike the other side of Syndicate Kahuna where you have to pay to post your articles on blogs. Just sign up and after you’ve passed the quality checks you just upload a tiny file to your blog and away you go – but you must have a WordPress blog to work (don’t worry, it’s very easy to set up!). You’ll instantly have thousands of high quality articles flowing to your blog that are targeted to your visitors. This will increase your search engine rankings thus bringing more traffic to your website which will lead to more affiliate sales and more cash for you! On the site there are testimonials where people have been earning thousands of dollars every month with Syndicate Kahuna.

Good bye Patrick you will be greatly missed….
