Yahoo Drops Google…How To Flood Your Site With Traffic In The Next 48 Hours – Site

Yahoo Drops Google...How To Flood Your Site With Traffic In The Next 48 Hours
Rodney Boettger

It official Yahoo has dropped Google and will be using Inktomis results to power their directory.
Previously when you did a search at Yahoo the top sponsor ads are from Overture and the bulk "free listing" ads were supplied by Google.
A few months back Yahoo purchased Inktomi as well as Overture and the online community was just waiting for the day that Yahoo would power all its results in house.
That day is here...
Inktomi is a paid inclusion service. What this means is that you pay for each page you want included in the search engines.
Currently Inktomi powers MSN, About.com, HotBot, numerous other search engines and now Yahoo.
The submission charges are $39US for the first page and $25US for each additional page. This price covers your pages for a full year. This is a huge savings over going direct to Yahoo for $199 to $399 with no guarantee of any type of inclusion in their directory.
Your pages are guaranteed to be refreshed every 48 hours and included in all the engines powered by Inktomi.
Please keep in mind that this does not guarantee a certain rank within the search engines. This is why you only submit your best optimized pages.
To take advantage of this golden opportunity do the following:
1. Choose your best keyword optimized page or pages.
2. Go to http://www.All-Paid-Inclusions.com and set up your paid inclusion account.
3. Choose to submit to Inktomi and follow the step by step instructions.
4. Within the next 2 days log back into your paid inclusion account and verify that your pages are marked as "refreshed"
5. Check your rank in the various search engines for your optimized keywords
6. Tweak pages every 48 hours to get your desired results.
You now can cash in on the explosion of traffic from Yahoo within the next 48 hours.
No one knows how long this window of opportunity will last.
The opinion among search engine experts and those in the know is that Yahoo will raise the prices of Inktomi inclusions drastically and without warning.
If you use pay per clicks you may remember when Overture did this. At the time clicks were .05 minimum and they sent a notice stating effective immediately the minimum bid is .10 per click.
So dont wait around get your pages in now at the lower price. You can tweak them later.

How To Profit From 2 Tier Affiliate Programs And Build A Sub-Affiliate Army In The Next 24 Hours!
Cory Threlfall

Before I get into depth with this article I first want you to have a good understanding of what a 2 Tier affiliate program is and there advantages. Then from there Ill go on to explain how you can start recruiting Sub-Affiliates by simply locating the Super-Affiliates within your Niche market.

First... lets define what a 2 Tier affiliate program is.

A 2 Tier affiliate program is simply a program that is designed to work on a 2 tier payment structure. And what I mean by that is that youll get paid on both the 1st tieryou and 2nd tieryour sub-affiliates of the program you choose to promote.

Now, with that said, lets go a little deeper into what the advantages of a 2 Tier affiliate program are so that youll be able to visualize in your head why these programs are being considered the most Powerful programs on the Net and more importantly... how they can put Profits in your hand, on Auto-Pilot, 24/7/365 with little effort on your part.

Lets first talk about the advantages and for the purpose of this article Im going to give you three of the main ones:

you get paid Higher commissions on your 1st tier usually between 25% - 65% depending on the vendor

you have the ability to Recruit sub-affiliatesyour 2nd tier to promote the program for you

and you can form Joint Ventures with other website and/or list owners within your specified Niche market

Is the Light-Bulb starting to flicker inside your head

Are you starting to see WHY these programs are so Powerful and Versatile

I certainly hope so.

Now that you see the main advantages to these programs your probably asking yourself... "well, where can I find a complete listing of these programs so I dont have to spend alot of time looking for them on the web"

Well... it just so happens that I know of a few top affiliate directories that have a complete searchable database full of 2 Tier affiliate programs in whatever category you are looking for.

I will list two of the of Top affiliate directories for the purposes of this article that I use to locate these programs:

2 Tier Affiliate Directory

http://www.2-tier.com

Associate Affiliate Directory

http://www.associateprograms.com

I think these two directories alone will keep you busy.

There are many affiliate directories out there on the WWW, but these two I find are the most popular and have the best selection.

Now that you have an idea of what 2 Tier affiliate programs are, there advantages and where to locate these programs on the web lets talk about How you can start recruiting some Sub-Affiliates within the next 24 hours by simply locating the Super-Affiliates within your Niche market via the search engines.

In order to do this exercise properly youre going to need two Very important webmaster tools. These tools are Free so you dont have to worry about paying anything up front or any monthly subscription fees for there use.

The 1st tool you need to get is the Google Toolbar. This toolbar is used to gauge a websites PRLink Popularity within the search engines. Generally, a website with a PR of 5 or higher are the types of websites you want to find and are where the Super-Affiliates usually reside.

Click the link Ive provided below and install the toolbar.

- http://toolbar.google.com/

And the 2nd tool you need to get is the Alexa Toolbar. This toolbar is used to gauge a websites overall Traffic Ranking. Youll want to find websites with a traffic ranking of 50,000 or lower. This is where youll find the Super-Affiliates.

Click the link Ive provided below and install the toolbar.

- http://download.alexa.com/

Now that you have those two tools installed on your computer you Now have the ability to find Super-Affiliates through gauging their websites overall Traffic Ranking and Link Popularity which brings use to the next step... "Locating the Super-Affiliates".

A Super-Affiliate, just so you know, is simply a webmaster who has a high traffic website and/or a large targeted mailing list and has the ability to sell more in a day then you could in a month.

Generally, and this is just a guideline I use when contacting these webmasters, I look for websites with at least a PR of 5 and a Traffic Ranking of 50,000 or less. This way, if they dont have a large mailing list they at least have a high traffic website or Visa-Versa.

This next step is where the fun begins because well be using search engines to locate the Super-Affiliates and for this exercise lets go to the all famous Google search engine at -- http://www.google.com

Now... once the page loads simply type in the Keyword or Keywords or Keyword Phrase that targets your particular Niche market you are targeting within the search form Google provides.

For the purpose of this exercise lets use the keywords internet marketing.

By now you should be looking at a page full of listings under the Keywords or Keyword Phrase you targeted, which in this case was internet marketing.

Now, simply start clicking on the links that you think might make a good Sub-Affiliate to the program you are recruiting for.

By using the two toolbars you installed earlier youll now be able to identify if this website is a Super-Affiliate by the websites overall Link Popularity and Traffic Ranking by using the guidelines I stated earlier.

If you like the web stats you see and you think they would make a suitable sub-affiliate to your program all you have to do from this point is look for the webmasters contact details listed on their website and send them a proposition to join your program.

If you cant find there contact details on there website you can usually find them by using the Alexa toolbar. Just click on the Alexa button in the upper left corner of your browser. This will bring you to there main page. Youll usually find there contact details listed mid-way down.

And if youre worried about being accused of Spamming, well... you dont have too simply because your not sending them an Unsolicited Advertisement, your sending them a Business Proposition.

Theres a BIG difference.

Now, with that said, lets move on to the Final segment of this article... Joint Ventures.

Joint Ventures are simply an collaboration or partnership undertaken by two or more entitieswebmasters for a mutual gain, usually profit sharing.

Who make the best JV partners and Why

Ezine/Newsletter owners make the best JV partners simply because they have already done all the work and have built highly targeted mailing lists. Some have Large lists and some have Small lists. Point being... theyre highly targeted to whatever Niche market youre targeting.

How do 2 Tier affiliate programs work in this kind of arrangement

They work just the same as recruiting website owners, but instead youre strictly contacting list owners with highly targeted lists and propositioning them to join your program for a share of the profits.

Where can you find these Ezine/Newsletter owners

You can find thousands of them on the WWW through Ezine/Newsletter directories, but Ill only list just a few top resources to save you the hassle.

These directories have large searchable databases full of thousands of Ezine/Newsletters that target any category you are looking for to promote your programs. And these are only a few of whats available to you on the Net.

Well... there you have it in a nut shell.

I just revealed to you some of the most Powerful marketing techniques being used online today by many of the Top internet marketers and how they are able to build there Sub-Affiliate armys and generate loads of Free targeted traffic to there websites without spending a penny on advertising.
