Part Time Webmaster

First, what is link cloaking? Link cloaking is creating a friendly link for an ugly one. For example, if you’re inserting an affiliate link into a site, it may look like this: http://www.kqzyfj.com/click-3741315-10437712?sid=468×60fatcow. That of course is pretty ugly, but, you can make it a more friendly link like this: http://www.parttimewebmaster.com/fatcowhostingurl So, why would someone want to do it other than to make the link look pretty. Well, if you are using affiliate links on your...

Ok, I’m not sure what will happen, but I figured what the heck. If I could win a $500 Best Buy gift card, I’d be in pretty good shape. So, here it is… View as webpage » $500 Best Buy Gift Card $500 Best Buy Gift Card

Ok, from what I’ve read, twitter is the way to go. So, we just added ourselves to Twitter. We’ll see how it affects our statistics. Once we signed up, I added the Twitter Wordpress plugin. You can now see the latest twits? on the right hand side. Best!

Ok, I’ve been told that in order to get my website noticed, I have to submit my feed to RSS engines. So, the first thing I did was go out and find listings. Wow, there are tons of listings. But, from what I’ve found, a lot of them are not correct. Some work, some don’t, some are not free, don’t exist, or are sites designed for you to click around so someone can make PPC money from you. So, below is a list of the real sites available to submit your feeds to. If one doesn’t work, please let me...

There are tons of sites out there that claim to work. I joined YouSayToo (free) just to get more visibile links to my site. The other day, I launched a local affiliate marketing program to see if I could get free haircuts. Yes, free haircuts, I thought it would be neat to try. Essentially, for every 2 people I sent to Rooster’s, I would get a free haircut. So, I set up a blog based on a couple of keywords and let it run. One thing I did do was submit the RSS feed to YouSayToo. Guess what, the...

Ok, this story may sound familiar to you, if it does, I’m sorry. Here goes. I’m sitting on the floor in the play room with my kids. We’re playing Connect Four. My wife called out to me from the other room innocently, “Honey, have you been on my computer?” Immediately, I wondered if I had, I knew I could be in trouble. After all, as an IT professional, I tend to jump on her computer and make tweaks, updates, anything. I always feel like I’m helping out, but sometimes, I really can screw things...

Ok, I’ve had this site for a while. Upon my first introduction to Adsense, I was pretty excited. I mean after all, I may make some money just because people are browsing my site. And, since this is a WordPress site, there are tons of ways to integrate Google Adsense ads easily. Recently, I ran across affiliate marketing. For those of you that don’t know, affiliate marketing can work similar to Adsense, except instead of making money from someone clicking on a banner, you will make money from...

We weren’t getting any traffic to the forums or the classifieds area, so I took these down. I’ve also removed the text link ads plugin and removed the Kontera plugin. The combination of removing all of this should speed up the site and let everyone focus more on the content.

If you’re sending out a campaign, and you need to add an image with an image map, you can do it. Hopefully, you’re familiar with HTML. If not, don’t worry. The main things to remember when creating this email are as follows: Place your image on the internet somewhere. You’ll have to reference it in the HTML of your email. You don’t want to try and put the image in the actual email. So, the src will look something like this: src=”http://www.parttimewebmaster.com” Within the tag you will have...

Ok, we use an affiliate version of GoDaddy hosting. For a while now, it has seemed that our hosting was slow for WordPress. After reading on a completely unrelated topic, I think I found the answer. I was reading an article by ShoeMoney. In it he talked about Kontera. Kontera will add those hyperlinks to your pages based on keywords. Specifically, it will underline the words, you scroll over the word and an ad will appear. He spoke of how this slows your site. And because not a lot of money...

Yes, this post seems a little out of place. I always get a haircut here. I received an email from them today talking about their refer a friend coupon. Then it dawned on me, can this be done with the affiliate marketing style? So, talked to the owner and ended up creating a blog that has a coupon for 50% off. So, if you do like a good haircut and your in Atlanta, try out Rooster’s. To get 50% off your haircut, I’ve loaded a coupon here: http://roostersatlantacoupon.blogspot.com for the...
