Better read the affiliate agreement and take note of what you are given non-exclusive copyright license to use. Usually specified are 'official affiliate' creatives like banners or their images for affiliate use.

The fact that you want to take their images and put your watermark on them with your domain name is most certainly a breech of contract.

Most of these affiliate contracts call for termination and forfeiture of payment. Don't get caught!

 

[FlickLPs]

Good luck! Are you reposting your pages using social networks? Even if you don't have big profiles it shows Google that you're not just posting like zombie and maybe mighty hidden SEO can kick in! Following your journey.

[Graybeard]

its so funny with images
cos my competitors steal eachothers images
try to watermark all over them
to stop other competitors stealing their stolen images
but all forget to optimize for SEO

I read that wrong
There is fair use in good faith but it is still a breech of contract and you can be terminated at will.

 

[Honeybadger]

Being honest with you guys
started going backwards again
my SEO/publisher affiliate journey into its 3rd year
& I should be a fulltimer now
easily should be earning $5,000 commission monthly
travel the world meet hot women & do cool thinks
but still bumming around doing deadbeat jobs
still struggling to pay bills
every affiliate site I start gets organic traffic & commission clicks
I set em up & keep em fresh = traffic/clicks/commission
whenever it starts working then I lose motivation
whats that all about?
got the plan & templates & tech tools & traffic
why cant I stay motivated?
sometimes feel like Im expert player of level 1 game
but cant hack it at level 2

Must be genetically wired to end up a bum hobo with no teeth

I don't believe this at all.

In my lifetime I have had some real bone head failures and in prosperous times in prosperous endeavors, but I kept pushing and sometimes through such perilous financially poor struggles. Eventually I managed to hit gushers a few times. You just need to keep pushing until you hit your gushing successes!

[Honeybadger]

Outside affiliate marketing
Ive been on hustle mode all month
you just gotta watch peoples habits
& see where you can save em dollar
nearly went bust good few times
managed to cling onto the cliff
still dangling over the edge

 

[Honeybadger]

my focus is on evergreen products
items people will definately buy
then I build my funnel
between Google and Amazon
customer proceeds thru these 5 steps
Google search ( > /Google image search) > my affiliate site > my product page or my banner click/tap > Amazon product page > purchase (commission)
my calculations are based upon trickle down from Google to purchase
thinking about it more simply now
but should be far ahead my current level
all bs aside I really feel like a loser sometimes
got everything I need and cant stay focused
not b!tching just saying how it is

 

[Graybeard]

must find a good freelance Wordpress expert but not a clown?

Lots of those on the internet

Finding an 'expert' in WordPress? Software for what?

 

[T J Tutor]

It is the actual work you do! Do the work !! Plan along the way!! A good strategy can help you reach your goals faster. The strategy I will recommend ... is to place a LINK to your offer on your "Thank You" page. People are opting in and raising their hand at THAT MOMENT! So I've learned to "strike while the iron is hot", especially if your giving away a loss leader to freebie seekers with low convertion rates. Good luck reaching your goals and keep learning!

[Honeybadger]

Another quick update

google has downranked my main affiliate site
traffic is like 50% down across the whole gdam thing
--> but weird not 4 google images
all my image ranking are the same
anyway when your doing seo
cant let a weeks blip get you down
gotta keep throwing out them hooks
& keep watching boring videos
stay strong & always ATTACK!

 

[Graybeard]

want to ask customers how they like and dont like my website so I could improve it?

easier would be find the highest bounce pages & lowest time on page pages & list how to improve the UX

Google Analytics

which are the top 10 highest bounce pages? which are the lowest time on page pages?

That's deceiving. The best pages are the ones that generate actual sales conversions.

You have to identify them by the links they use.

Add a tracking code to your link >> &(linkcode|subid|UTM_)=12345

That way they will be reported back with your sales statistics.

Whats better?

100 page views over 1.4 minutes and 1 sales conversion; or,
45 page views of 0.56 sec and and 1 sales conversion?

Which is the money page?

money pages often turn out to be closely linked to a topic in the headlines

That often appears as the description in the SERPs. Click-bait If the content is relevant --That works

I hope you can achieve your goal!

50% of my YouTube channel subscriptions are gone
I have ruthlessly slashed 90+ channels
Only interested in 3 things from subs

1. Technical updates for software I use
2. Actionable marketing and sales tips
3. Consumer buying trends

I have put out new red flags
channels get 3 chances and then I unsub forever
the main red flags are

1. Dumb click bait titles --> Neil Patel is clickbait but high quality so stays on my list
2. Lack of focus keywords in video title --> Guys come on use your focus keywords and front load them its common sense in 2022
3. Stupid faces in video image cover --> YouTube Creator Insider is clickbait but high quality so stays on my list
4. Off topic videos --> Yup I dont care about your pet videos or Merry Christmas
5. Any channel that doesnt help me increase traffic & commission
6. Fake presenters who irritate me --> just be yourself
7. Non English videos mixed with English videos --> Russian and Ukranian is worst for this
8. No videos for past 6 months --> @zeropark doesnt post videos often but when they do its extremely high quality so they stay on my list
9. Overkill about diversity and rabbits rights --> you are boring us to death
10. Most SEO guru or SEO newspaper channels --> are clickbait and get unsubbed
11. Mention Google Sandbox myth once --> and your channel gets blocked permanently except for @shaunm which is very high quality content so stays on the list

You have to really earn my subscription now
setting a very high bar for subscribing
You need to publish consistently high quality optimized and relevant videos
This is about work not entertainment

HE'S BACK!
And we are happy to see you here my friend Honeybadger!

 

[T J Tutor]

10%+ commission offers that are on the uptrend. Not easy to find, I know all to well.

This is where affiliate programs come in. Always higher earnings than on network offers.

We have loads of affiliate offers that provide 10% commissions and many offer far more than that. Sometimes I JV with others in the industry launching products or services and most of them are providing big commissions.

The thing with affiliate programs is that SEO stuff is irrelevant for the most part, except for the content sites one may have. . Throw paid traffic at them and you'll find them very lucrative. Solos work really good for some if you can get them sent to verified niche specific lists.
