Web Marketing Strategy Update

Show DealDotCom’s current deal of the day in the sidebar of your blog with this simple free WordPress plugin.

The DealDotCom affiliate program pays 35% commission on your own referred sales, plus 15% commission on the sales by people you refer. If the person you refer promotes the site and refers more people, you get paid on all the sales they generate too.

Best of all, you get paid every time someone makes a purchase, not just the first time.

That’s for the lifetime of the customer, whether they buy today, tomorrow, or 5 in years from now. Multiple orders from the same customer are common, because when someone buys from DealDotCom they get an email ever single day promoting that day’s discounted product.

Jetspinner is a new and free content spinner you’ll love if you do article marketing. I’ve spoken about the benefits of article or content spinning before and explained how to use article spinners in my post, End Duplicate Content Articles.

And just like the software I talked about there (and the other paid solutions), Jetspinner enables you to create hundreds of unique variations of your articles for use on your website and submission to article directories, etc. That in turn means you can quickly and easily establish yourself as an expert in your field and create hundreds of natural-looking backlinks whilst avoiding Google’s duplicate content penalty.

I’ve been using the free Awstats web analytics software for years on many of my domains (I use Google Analytics on some as well now, but the advantage of Awstats is its single page format, giving instant access to the data without lot’s of clicking about).

The other day, I decided my Awstats installation was overdue an update and popped over to SourceForge to pick up the latest version.

While I was looking over the docs to refresh my memory on the upgrade process, I came across a link to a page of Awstats ExtraSection examples on another website.

Awstats ExtraSections enable you to create your own special reports not provided by default with AWStats. I personally only started putting them in my domain configuration files a few years ago, and then only as a means of tracking clicks on exit and redirect links, etc.

Last week Google officially opened up the Adwords keyword tool to non-account holders with an external version of the research tool.

Thanks to recent updates, the tool now returns more useful keyword data than most others, including keyword popularity indicators and global search volume trends. Definitely one you want to bookmark.

There’s also a handy feature that allows you to generate keywords based on the content of any webpage. As far as I know (and I’ve seen many), this is the only free keyword extraction tool that can also optionally follow links found on your input URL to include other pages from the same site in the analysis. Alternatively you can paste a block of text into a form box to be analyzed.
