Hello Guys,

Time for another SEO roundup! How is the SEO going this week? There have been reports of a few affiliates seeing terrible drops and even rumours that Google were directly targeting affiliate marketing websites.

I’ll lay this to rest right now, it’s simply not true. There has been activity over the last few weeks but it’s been across the board and in retrospect, most of it is no worse than it usually is. (more…)

I thought with my first post I would share a helpful site with you. The site is Ranks and is designed to help you get the most from your site and to get you natural rankings in the SERPS. It focuses on keyword density, link validator, screen resolution checker and more. For now I am going to concentrate on these three.

I would recommend that you check all the tools and test your site with them to see what results it shows. There are other sites that offer similar tools but I think that Ranks.nl is a good choice for affiliates.

Hey guys,

One thing I get a lot of questions about is how to rank a specific Google TLD. As you may be aware the many different Google portals feature different SERPs results. Google present these different results based on on locally specific information.

Geotargeting is quite important for affiliates because it gives you the chance to approach specific demographics which of course vary depending on what country you are in or targeting. (more…)
