Let’s take a look at some ways that you can generate some links to your website:

* Create list posts/articles about:

Top 10 most common mistakes ________

Top 10 tips for creating __________

* Blog consistently so that you train the search engine bots to visit your blog on a regular basis

-Tag your posts

-Link to other blogs

-Get listed in blog directories

* Take on a few guest blogging gigs on higher ranking, more popular blogs. This will give you some exposure to a new audience, a nice traffic spike and some links to your blog.

* Blog commenting. This can be time consuming, but it’s an excellent way to get targeted links to your site.

* Viral video

* Submit a press release on a timely, newsworthy topic

* Social media marketing: Facebook.com, Twitter.com, LinkedIn, Myspace.com, etc.

* Social Bookmarking sites: del.icio.us, blinklist, stumbleupon, multiply.com

* Write & publish reviews

Ok, so now are you ready for a super fast way to generate some links to your website? Here goes. Visit a website called Google Trends: trends.google.com. There you will find lists of the hot topics and the hot searches of the day. Pick a topic from the list and write a blog post about it, create and publish a video using that keyword, and then re-write the blog post into an article and submit it to several article directories. Next gather the RSS feed from your blog post, the video and the article and combine them into a custom RSS feed. Submit that feed to several of the top RSS aggregators and directories.

Going back to your blog post, be sure to Tweet about it, share it on Facebook and ask your friends to share it as well. Share it on all of you social media profiles in a snap using a handy service such as ping.fm or socialposter.com.

Basically, the best way to generate links fast is to generate some positive buzz or controversy about a specific topic. This will attract lots of attention and links to your content. Make sure that you have in place a way to capture your visitor’s name and email address so that you can make the most of your five minutes of fame. But if you keep creating lots of quality, relevant content people will keep coming back for more.

The Edge on Rent to Own in America – Vancouver Real Estate

Get paid to share your links!

Rent to own – Explained

As Vancouver Real Estate agents, we have see many advantages and disadvantages of rent to own we believe we have many things we can share with you folks in the US. In a rent to own the tenant pays the regular rent on the property , but adds a set fee amount for – for a term of about say 4 years – at the end of which the owner allow him a an option to buy the pad at a set market value . The nominal fee over 3 years is applied to the purchase price (in most cases the tenant now also qualifies for a 5% down payment ). If he does not execute the option, the ‘premium/overage’is retained to the proprietor (after all he had to wait 3 years to find out). As an owner you would only want to do that if you received your best price and then some.

How do I actually set this up?

There are several ways. One way is to have the tenant sign a bona fide Contract of Purchase and Sale. There is an addendum to the contract that states that a certain portion of the rent goes towards the purchase if the tenants complete the contract. The contract also should be very specific stating that if the renter fails to pay the rent or meet a term like increasing deposit, the contract will be terminated The rent charged , of course, is much higher than the going rental rate and commonly the amount credited to the selling price is that amount of the surcharge . In almost all cases, if the renter fails to honour the surcharge, the premium goes to the seller.

But, never, ever transfer title of your property with ‘no money’ down to anyone – buy yes, sell no . The only constant is change. The tenant loses his main job, follows the lures of travels, or rediscovers what its like to sit on the couch and day dream and there you are. To take your house back from a lazy buyer that has no equity in the property is VERY COSTLY !

The most important factor is to have everything in writing. Having things in writing won’t make bad people good and won’t make good people better; all it does is delineate the parameters of any legal carry through. You never want to take legal action if you can possibly avoid it. But a strong rental agreement allows you to make convincing threats.

Why do it? Owner/Investor benefits:

(This is for Home Buyers – show the seller these benefits )

• Best price in rough Real estate markets (perhaps in today’s market in some US Cities ?). Get the property at market value or better. You also have more tenant/buyers who are conformable to pay a premium because of the terms.

• ABOVE AVERAGE rental income. Increase positive cash flow.

• Positive cash flow : It is one way to make a property have cash flow that otherwise would not.

• Non-refundable option or ‘premium – overage of rent’ up front.

• Avoid a commission: Although there are ways to pay a Vancouver realtor as well. ( Not much competition…most Realtors don’t understand it – and some lawyers!)

• Lower advertising costs. Run an ad for rent to own in today’s market and see what happens!

• Get a much better tenant : Someone who wants to own , even if in the end he does not end up buying, will make sure you home is in much better shape . There could be quality people in the recently divorced, self employed or new immigrants.

• Less maintenance : Less management. Tenants that feel a “pridefulness of ownership” will pay on time, perform maintenance, and make improvements to your home. You could also term these monthly obligations as a condition into the deal.

• Many more buyers: You are spreading the base from buyers only to renters/investors.

• Fewer Vacancies : Your phone will ring off the hook when you post your property as a lease/rent to own purchase system

Get a good contract. Legal documents are far more complex. Have a lawyer/notary or a Vancouver real estate agent witness it. In a crashing market the renter WILL want the option price and rental premium back. I guarantee it!

Also , owners should also use the lease to own contract ALWAYS instead of an agreement for sale in properties (out of town) say under $30,000. It is a pain to foreclose on default; it is much easier to cancel the lease.

Why do it? Tenant/Buyer Benefits:

• Grow equity. Sometimes a family cannot get together a down payment.

• Knowing what you will buy. Checking it out for say 2 or 3 years, having the price fixed.

• Your rental fee is not going down the drain . Each month a portion of rent comes off of the sales price eventually.

• The full option deposit is not lost. This cash will be 100% credited to either the D.P. or the sales price.

• No huge initial capital infustions . With a lease purchase, there is only the first month’s rent and an option deposit to pay; no down payment, no closing costs.

• No other down payment required. The option deposit plus the rental rebates will likely take care of the whole down payment.

• Assign the contract. Wherever possible, get the right to assign the contract. If the market goes up, you could assign the contract for a tidy profit.

• Increased buying power. Your buying power is dramatically increased.

• Less credit problems. Qualifying is not as strict as conventional financing.

You will be approved at the sole discretion of the landlord/seller. You will have time to repair your credit, and find the best way to restructure your financial state once again!

In Summary: You have full control of the home – and some real time to see the leaks! .

It is of utmost important to have a perfect and enforceable contract of purchase and sale. Make sure you get a lawyer and pay the upfront fees. Trust me, you will not regret it! If the market rises fast , the seller WILL try to exit the deal. I guarantee it! You do have more leverage as a buyer. With a lease purchase contract, you have the capability of manipulating real estate that normally require a large down payment for a small amount of money without using a lender or going through the loan application process. Yet you get all the benefits

Five C’s of Affiliate Marketing

23. Dec, 2009 0 Comments

Get paid to share your links!

1. (C)ontent – Any good internet marketer understands that having well-written, useful content is what drives their marketing machine. Excellent content provides the main building block to gaining exposure through the search engines, which is the first step to building the traffic that will ultimately become your customers or customers of whichever affiliate programs you decide to promote. Great content does this in a number of ways. Initially, well-written, useful content will have a greater chance of being recognized as a resource by other online publishers. The more websites and blogs that find your content useful, the more chances you have that these sites will reference (i.e. link) to your articles, thus promoting them higher in the search engine results pages (SERPs). Even after this occurs, great content still works for you in several ways. It provides information that people are looking for and may also solve problems that your potential customers have. If you can combine great, problem-solving content with relevant affiliate products that help fill a need or solve a problem, you are well on your way to boosting your sales. How do you create great content? Write about a subject you understand very well and one that you are passionate about.

2. (C)ookies – When you are searching for affiliate programs that are related to, or complement, your excellent content, one thing any savvy affiliate marketer evaluates is the cookie length of the program(s) he or she chooses to promote. In affiliate marketing, a cookie is something that ‘tags’ any website visitor who arrives at an affiliate site via an affiliate link. This is so the affiliate who was responsible for sending the visitor will ultimately be credited for any sale. Different affiliate programs have cookies of varying lengths. Ideally, you want to choose a program that uses the longest length cookies. This way, even if a visitor who you sent to the affiliate website doesn’t make a purchase today, you will still get credit as long as they make a purchase before the cookie expires. The longer the cookie length, the greater amount of time that visitor has to come back to the affiliate website and make a purchase for which you will receive your affiliate commission.

3. (C)lick-through-rate – Also abbreviated CTR, this is a measure of how well your content, combined with the affiliate program’s creatives (i.e. text links, banners, search boxes, videos, etc.) entices a visitor to actually ‘click through’ to the affiliate website. Your CTR for each different ad campaign is obtained by dividing the number of users who clicked on the ad by the number of times the ad was delivered (also called ad impressions). CTR is a way of measuring how effective your advertisements are. The higher the CTR, the more effective your content, combined with your ad placement, is at convincing your visitors to visit the affiliate site via one of your affiliate links. But getting your visitors through your affiliate links to your affiliate program’s website is only half the battle.

4. (C)onversions – As mentioned above, getting visitors to whichever affiliate programs you are promoting is only half the battle. They must also become customers (i.e. make a purchasing decision and buy something) in order for you to get paid. When a visitor actually buys something, this is known as a conversion. How well any affiliate program converts is a combination of how effectively you were able to presell your website visitors, as well as how effective the affiliate program’s landing page is at convincing them to purchase the product or service the program is advertising. Understand that many visitors to the affiliate program’s website may not buy on their first visit. This is why cookie length is important. In addition, the sales process that the affiliate program utilizes to keep in contact with that visitor and ultimately turn them into a customer is very important. Keep an eye on your conversions for each different affiliate program you belong to. The higher the conversion rate of a program, the better they are at converting the visitors you send into customers that ultimately make them (and you) money.

5. (C)alls to Action – Throughout your content, and especially towards the end of any write-up, you want to take the opportunity to encourage your visitors to visit the affiliate program’s site or purchase a product, or sign up for a free membership. Whatever action you need a visitor to take in order to get them ‘tagged’ with your affiliate cookie is what you need to tell them to do. Tell them (in a nice way of course) what you would like them to do, don’t ask them. For example, at the end of a thorough write-up about an online service for which you are an affiliate, say something like, “Take the next step and join XYZ service to see for yourself. Membership is free…” and hyperlink that phrase using your affiliate link to direct your visitors to the program. Notice that the visitor was not asked, but rather given a simple command, or a call-to-action. Pepper your content with a few different calls to action in logical places and this will increase the number of your visitors who end up clicking through to the affiliate site (i.e. your CTR will increase!).

So remember the five C’s of affiliate marketing to improve your odds of success. Begin with great content to encourage backlinks and gain exposure through the search engines. Find affiliate programs that offer products or services related to your content, which your visitors will find interesting. Evaluate the cookie length’s of each of these affiliates. In general, try to join affiliate programs offering the greatest cookie lengths. Next, once you have joined some programs and placed their banners and text links throughout your content, keep an eye on how many visitors actually click through to the affiliate site using your affiliate links. This is called your click through rate, or CTR, and is a measure of how well you are doing with your affiliate ad placements. Remember, the higher the CTR for any ads or creatives you have on your sites, the better. Keep an eye on conversions, which are how many of the people you send to the affiliate program actually make a purchase. This is one of the most important affiliate statistics to keep track of because, ultimately, this will tell you how effective your affiliate programs are at making the sale. Conversions are the most important ‘C’ for any affiliate marketer to monitor because they are directly responsible for how much money you will earn as an affiliate of that program. Finally, use ‘calls-to-action’ in order to convince your visitors to take whatever action is required for you to benefit. Whether you want them to join something, buy something, or click a particular link, use a simple command to tell them what it is you would like them to do. If your content was helpful and you structure your calls to action in an affirmative, but friendly, manner your visitors should be more than receptive to these simple commands. Ultimately, it is up to you to constantly monitor your five C’s of affiliate marketing to measure how well the affiliate programs you are promoting are performing.

How to Protect your Affiliate Marketing Links & Commissions

Redirect your affiliate marketing links

Technically, your affiliate marketing links can be embedded in the format of PHP and HTML for redirection. There are many free scripts for protecting your affiliate marketing links and redirect your links. I highly recommend you to use script for PHP format. It is more secure than HTML format.

Banner servers

Banner servers are not only served banners, as many of the more recent servers will also display text links as well. The link coding that’s associated with served ads is normally long, so that the visitor won’t be able to see on the status bar where the redirect is heading.

Click tracking software

Click counting software will not show the target URL as the links point inwards to the software, which is normally installed on your own website.

Once someone has clicked on the link, the click tracking application will then redirect the visitor to the URL that you have specified within the script. The click tracking software will also provide a great way to monitor the usefulness of your ads and not just relying on the reports that merchants will provide.

Protecting your commissions is extremely important, as you want to get paid for what you do. Even though fraud is possible with affiliate marketing business, you can protect yourself and your affiliate marketing commission. Fraudsters have certain techniques and tactics they use, which you can protect yourself from.

If you have your own affiliate marketing business, the last thing you want to experience is either credit card fraud or affiliate fraud. They do happen on a regular basis, simply because those who have it happen haven’t taken the necessary steps they should have to protect themselves.
