Blog Cluttering

If you surf the web and take a look at some of the blog sites that are out there, you will see that a lot bloggers are posting ads everywhere on their site. While this blog is about Affiliate Marketing, I have looked at blogs regarding all subjects and it seems there are so many blogs out there that simply don’t have enough good quality content. They seem to have an over abundance of ads (paid ads,  banner ad’s, sidebar ads, etc.). Some blogs are so cluttered with ads, that you have a hard time finding the content, which in my opinion is not a good thing. It’s not that ads don’t work because they certainly do. I admit that sometimes I see an ad that catches my eye and I click on it. However, I really don’t think that you should clutter your blog site with tons and tons of advertising.

When creating a plan for your blog on Affiliate Marketing, or whatever type of business/niche you choose, try to limit the number of ads.  What you want to do is focus on writing good quality articles and/or blog posts. Spend your time creating good quality content that will turn you into “the expert”. Write articles or post that have information that helps others.

The following are just some of the benefits of putting good quality content in your blog posts, versus cluttering your site with ads:
  • people read content
  • people tend to scan and skip ads
  • people save good content for later reference
  • people forward your good content to others who may be interested
  • people look for good content to add to their newsletters or websites
  • people will see you as the expert, rather than someone who spams ads
  • people will be curious to know more about you and/or your products
  • people will want to know what else you have posted in your blog
  • people will go to your site to see what you do
  • people will remember your site name
  • people will perceive you as a resource
  • Good blog content will make you a google “celebrity.” That way yo will generate more traffic based on your content indexed by google (ref: Indexing Your Website)
  • most importantly, people will look forward to hearing from you, and will return again and again

As you can see by the tips noted above, there are tons of benefits for adding good content to your blog posts on a regular basis vs cluttering your site with ads.  One of my previous posts, Blogging Is Important, provides some additional information that you should find helpful about blogging in general.

So, my guess is that you may be asking, what is considered to be a good content to ad ratio. Well, if you search the web, there are a lot of different opinions on this matter. Of course, this blog represents my opinion.So, when you set up your blog, do what feels right for you. Then just be open to change. Take the feedback of your visitors as they may post comments about the cluttered ads. You could even write a post about your content and invite your readers to post their comments. You could send an e-mail or even send a newsletter to your viewers.

Fast Cash Commissions= Successful Affiliate Marketing

Anyone who reads my posts can see that I get quite a bit of comments, a lot of which compliment this site, my writing, etc. First, I really appreciate all the compliments that I have received and I welcome all comments (good and constructive). So, I am often asked how long I have been blogging and some have even asked who or where I learned from. Two (2) of my previous posts, Choosing a Successful Affiliate Marketing Training Program and More On a Successful Affiliate Marketing Training Program, talk about this subject. If you haven't had a chance to read them, I recommend that you do since both provide very valuable information.

In both posts, I really promote Fast Cash Commissions. The reason for that is simple,90% of what I know about Affiliate Marketing is the result of Fast Cash Commissions and the personalized coaching that they offer. I say 90% because, after deciding to work from home, I chose to pursue Affiliate Marketing which at the time I knew nothing about. Actually, I had heard that Affiliate Marketing had potential to make money and there are people who were very successful at it.  While I was able to find a lot of free information on the internet, it just felt as if there where some things that were missing. Since, I knew absolutely nothing about Affiliate Marketing, I decided to obtain some training, from someone that was successful at it. After extensive research, I chose Fast Cash Commissions.

Here is some information not contained in my two previous posts.. At first I almost didn't choose Fast Cash Commissions because the name just didn't seem real and I thought it was a scam. See, after deciding that I wanted to pursue Affiliate Marketing, I was checking out some sites that made that infamous claim to make me money quick and  I must have entered my name and e-mail address. If you have looked at any sites for Affiliate Marketing or maybe even a site that offers a work from home opportunity, you are aware that most provide very limited information on their initial (landing) pages. In order to get all the information about what exactly you are doing to make your money online, work from home or whatever the claim is, you have to give them your name and e-mail address. So, I guess I gave my information and at some point  I received an e-mail that lead me to the Fast Cash Commissions. I am not really sure what intrigued me about Fast Cash Commissions however something did. I remember narrowing it down to two (2) companies and I chose Fast Cash Commissions based on the reviews that I found. Additionally, I was not able to find anything that advised me that Fast Cash Commissions was a scam.

So lets briefly talk about the scams...  If you search almost any place on the internet (try Yahoo Answers) for any of the words or phrases related to making money online (make money online, work from home, online scams, online survey, etc) you will see that just about everyone thinks that the concept making money online is a scam or it simply isn't possible. Well, I have to admit that I used to be one of those people. It wasn't until I lost my job and had a hard time find another one, that I actually started looking into the matter of working from home and making money online. Initially, the sites that I came across and the information that I found, didn't do much to change my opinion. After researching most of the sites that I had came across, I found that they were selling Herbalife or Amway, which I wanted absolutely no part of. The others offered to make me money or rich after signing up, for basically doing nothing.  of course, this sounds really nice and would be ideal but in reality those claims simply are bogus. I know that any legitimate business, whether it be a brick and mortar, work from home or whatever, takes effort and good hard work. Fast Cash Commissions only stated that with good hard work and effort, I could make some money. I was not able to find this statement with any other company.

During my research of Fast Cash Commissions , I found the following statement:

"I’d personally advocate Fast Cash Commission to any person who’s decided to be one of the major pieces in internet marketing. For less than 100 bucks this merchandise is a deal that can’t be conquer merely for the reason that it’s coming within the most effective within the marketing and advertising and internet marketing business enterprise, this by yourself would make the products a move forward in the levels of competition. Overall this merchandise is assured to generate another person or everyone slightly or maybe even quite a bit wealthier than they had been previous to it."


After reading the above state along with everything else, I was sold. I signed up, watched all the training material offered on the site and began my adventure/journey in Affiliate Marketing. Shortly thereafter, I signed up for their personalized coaching, which I didn't find to be offered with any other program. I have not looked back since and have never regretted my decisions since.

Conclusion- I have learned just about everything I know from the personalized coaching I received since purchasing Anthony Morrison's Fast Cash Commissions program. I have shared and continue to share that knowledge with all of you, my readers. I try to explain everything that I learned the best that I can, however, I still highly recommend Fast Cash Commissions, to anyone who wants to be successful in Affiliate Marketing. I also recommend their personal coaching program, especially for the beginning Affiliate Marketer. I recommend that because the information that I share is certainly beneficial for you, however there is no way that I can put all of what I have learned from them on this blog.
