    No geographical ties.. where would you live?

    Might make some moves and try internet marketing from abroad. I'm an American citizen. I don't make a ton from IM yet so I narrowed it down to 3 low cost areas. Curious what you guys think though. 1. SE Asia Very cheap, lots of english speakers and westerners Far as hell. Annoying visa...

    HostGator, Domain Add-Ons

    Am I doing this wrong? I swear this worked differently when I was with Ipage. Anyway, I switched to a hostgator shared hosting plan because they have better service. I have 1 main domain. I wanted to add a second domain that's hosted elsewhere. I pointed the nameservers, and then I did domain...

    Just bought a sweet domain! How do I check the history?

    Somewhat of a n00b here, as you guessed from my thread title. Just registered a really good domain though. 11 letters. pretty brandable but also contains a great keyword phrase. .net and some other extensions are registered, so that's how good the keywords are. and I got .com I went here to...

    This is embarrassing but I can't find the right person to ask about guest blogging

    I used open site explorer to find a website that my competitor has a backlink on, and decided I want one too. I go to the site, found the section with niche-related articles, but now I can't figure out who the hell to contact for guest blogging. The problem is it's not just a website. It's a...

I have a sidebar widget on the top right of my site to follow me on facebook, twitter, etc. Then i have another plugin that has a little floating verticle bar on the lefthand side of my articles so that people...

    Best Wordpress plugin for building an email list?

    I want to build an email list cause i've read a ton about how important it is. Hostgator lets me send 500 emails per hour so I figure that's a damn good start. Not going to pay for aweber or anything yet. So I'm looking for the best wordpress plugin that is free and will allow me to have a...

    Do any pros use Amazon's Affiliate program?

    Seems convenient for affiliate marketing. but the commission percentage isn't sky high or anything. Do any experienced affiliate marketers sell thru amazon's affiliate program? or is it pretty much for newbies.

    Properly backing up my site..

    The folks at hostgator aren't as knowledgable/helpful as usual today. I must come to you guys. I'm trying to back my site up properly. I went to wordpress, clicked "export", and downloaded all content. I went to my cpanel and downloaded a MySQL Database Backup. What else do I need to do...

    Leaving domain @ old hosting company, moving hosting to new company?

    I've read a couple of somewhat compelling reasons to keep hosting and domain registration seperate.. so I've been considering doing it. I planned on changing hosts anyway. I want to use hostgator cause Ipage is garbage. This is for shared hosting. So right now my domain and hosting is with...

    Do I even need to do SEO?

    I apologize in advance for the n00b question.. I'm sort of coming from the SEO side of things. I have some sites generating PPC revenue, I rank well in search engines and get organic traffic, etc. I want to do affiliate marketing for some new sites without doing much SEO, or without any SEO...

    why WOULDN'T you take part in domaining?

    Honest question. The risk/reward is astronomical. Time invested in buying domains vs developing sites would be like 1/10. Cost to buy a .com domain? $10 even if I'm not getting wholesale prices or discounts. Am I missing something here? Seems like I need to get my ass in the game!! I just...

    How do I respond to this inquiry?

    I have a site where I recommend and link out to some online games, apps, etc. Someone emailed me about an app that he/she makes. They didn't propose anything.... it was basically just an email to make me aware of their game/app, because "it has a lot of features that you won't find in any...

Now I'm also signed up and approved for Amazon Associates which is their standard affiliate program where you can put affiliate links on your site...
