Get A Better ROI On Your Flogs...

Here's what I don't understand:

Someone comes on here and says "hey guys, I did this and it is making me a bit more cash". , and admittedly it's certainly a small token of information that anyone worth their weight in salt would already know/have tested, but that doesn't mean the guy deserves to be flamed to shit and back.

Maybe someone who's just starting to make bank had never tried it, and does because of this thread. Hell, even if QualityContent helps make someone an extra $1/day, who the fuck cares? Anyone helping out is a decent person in my books.

Some of you guys are just downright fucked.

Thanks, I didn't get the instant flame either.

Your right though - my aim wasn't to help those who make ten times more than I do. It was simply to help those at my level, or around, make a few more dollars from their work.

I'm not saying that I'm annoyed by all of the following, but this may help you understand better :

- He said he DOUBLED his ROI by adding two words to anchor text.
- Some people are annoyed by the term "flog", even more so when people use it as if it is the only type of page. His tip could apply to most pages on the internet that have text link ads.
- Some don't like the mention of specific products.
- Starting with "Hey guys," doesn't tend to go over well here.
 
It is true. This was a very basic tip and I gave it a bad response. It probably will help someone make a little more money. It was good of the OP to contribute it. It should be in the newbies section, because those are the folks who this will benefit.

I thought of that at first but than my thinking was that the newbie section was so newbie-ish that using a flog, due the traffic sources involved and legal shit, might be above what they were looking at doing ATM.

...And yeah I didn't expect a ton of thanks, nor a complete flaming lol, but I figured a tip's a tip and as long as it could bring you in more monies it's worth knowing. (Or being reminded of...)

Thanks,

Eric

Doubled the click throughs and thus roughly doubled the income. Probably because the link is longer, so it stands out more, and is maybe more interesting.

Of course my numbers don't matter, though. I shouldn't have even included any. It's really about split testing and seeing what numbers you get.

I used flog because I did this on a flog. Of course it could apply to any webpage promoting a product with a free trial.
- Some don't like the mention of specific products.

Haha yeah, bad habit.
 
Quality Content - the tip was meant to help others, regardless how obvious it may have been for 90% of the crowd... I think your heart was in the right place.

Now if you really want to impress these people, tell them how you have index2 pointing to index3 pointing to index4 redirecting to tinyurl redirecting to index5 with a link at the bottom where monies are made ;-)

looks like the only way to learn anything around here is by one-on-one phone/IM relationships. Everything and everyone gets slammed for letting some tid-bits go.

We should create levels to where if youre worth your salt, you get passed on to the next level. All approved by the moderator, then approved by the group. So like the top-ballers get to see the top action, while noobs need to prove themseves to reach the next level.

That be sick
 
^^^^ granted theres a ton of decent tid-bits around here, and many deserve to get slammed/reamed.

Just wish we could have layers, instead of reading beyond the lines.
 
There is a system although it is not formal. If you prove you aren't a shithead by making meaningful contributions (unique shit, not outing what everyone else is doing on the sly) then you build trust and reputation.

If you're a low post count newb who spends all his time in STS arguing over Obama or posting bad boob pics, no one is going to think you're worth anything.

Business is all about knowledge and relationships. You have to build one to get the other, and vice versa.

The people who are not smart enough to figure out the simple system of paying it forward never advance. The best thing any newbie can do is read and read. Figure out who is who, who has a blog, what the inside jokes are, what questions and ideas are frowned upon, what sort of behavior is ostracized, what sort of behavior is rewarded, etc and adapt accordingly.

This sums it up beautifully. Every person who signs up should have to read this paragraph.
 
Nothing groundbreaking but I found it useful, maybe split test it with $1.95 Free Trial - Acai Force Max ?.

Sometime we forget about the simple things like this one or AIDA steps in copywriting.
We should get a checklist for Landing Pages and when creating the LP to look what other things we missed to split-test.

You are right - however, look at so many threads that actually have decent information - there are enough morons here who litter everything with their stupid comments - probably trying to impress the more successful guys here. Any newbie will lose interest to read and search due to sifting through 300 shitty comments like above before finding more information. That time could rather be spent on actual testing things, building landing pages, etc.
