80. 30DCIII Day 17

I created a Clickbank hoplink and put the link into some of my posts on my tumblr page. I am only putting my affiliate link into every other post, as I think it will look too spammy if it is in every single post. I am also putting links to other sites too, offering free quality information, so I think visitors will be pleased.

Ed said we should ask ourselves will our visitors be happy or annoyed with our content, and as I’ve given them what they are looking for for free, I think they’ll be happy. I’m just hoping they will buy the product too, but no-one’s forcing them.

I watched Ed’s video this morning and he said lots of people on the forum are getting indexed in Google in only a few hours, so I checked my phrase, and I’m nowhere! But then, these other peole are probably a day ahead of me, and been social bookmarking like mad.

After work, I spent every minute writing more short articles and a larger one for Ezine Articles, but that’s not finished yet. Then I signed up with more social bookmarking sites, so I can ‘give love’ to my sites, and ask friends to do the same.

It’s possible that this method of getting ranked by search engines may not last long, especially if spammers are going to abuse it, but there’ll be some other method by then.

Sadly, I kept getting distracted on a lot of the social bookmarking sites, because I kept finding sites that were related to my niches, so I naturally wanted to check them out.

Still haven’t looked at today’s work, and may have to re-watch some videos from the last few days, to make sure I haven’t missed any part of the process. Still haven’t signed up as an Amazon affiliate, which I should have done years ago!

I’m hoping I can get lots of work done over the weekend, as I think it’s product creation next week, and that will involve technical stuff, so I must catch up for that.

I’ve found several other sites and tumblr blogs on different topics, whilst social bookmarking that are following the format of the Thirty Day Challenge, and one I found had an affiliate link that went to a sales page, but the affiliate name was not on the order page, so I found the owner on Facebook and let him know, or he won’t be getting his commissions.
