For the last few days, StumbleUpon has continuously banned accounts and a lot are complaining that the traffic has went down. I have a lot of friends that were power users and got their accounts banned for different reasons or for no reason at all. I have also noticed a decrease in traffic from StumbleUpon, but i can’t tell for sure if it’s because of the algorithm or because my websites have been down and flagged as unavailable, due to my servers issues. I will be able to tell more [...]

Google has been changing rules lately and it’s banning lots of websites, especially for selling text links. Now, the only way to sell links is to use the “nofollow” tag if you want to remain G’s friend. Of course not everyone is satisfied with Google’s measures and many continue to sell links, but the problem comes when Google excludes them from it’s index. If G isn’t an important source of traffic for you, then you shouldn’t have any reason to worry, except that once banned you lose the PR and [...]

I just logged into Feedburner to check my Blog’s subscribers and i see that three of my blogs went to 0. It seems like Feedburner is having an issue again and unfortunately lately it has had issues quite often. Hopefully they won’t just lose track of my subscribers and solve the problem, as i am losing both visitors and my subscribers might unsubscribe if they aren’t receiving news from my blogs. Last month i’ve noticed something opposite from now, when my subscribers went up with more than 100% for one [...]

I think you all know that incentives can’t be good for search engines, but please tell this to both Ask and Microsoft too.

Microsoft has been [...]

1. Choose a good product The first thing when you want to start doing affiliate marketing is choosing one or more products to promote. Put yourself in your visitors shoes and think if you’d buy a doubtable product. Well, I’m sure you won’t so make sure the products you sell are trusted so you will definitely get a higher conversion than a low quality product. Do not try to sell products that over exaggerate on features that don’t meet, but choose products that are good and useful and point the [...]

Lately i’ve used a lot of social networks to promote my websites, especially blogs and i want to share my thoughts on them with you. And then i would like to see your experiences with them in comments. Stumbleupon This seems to work best for me, because if you have a good profile, with good pages submitted and enough fans, it can bring much recursive traffic. The traffic from Stumbleupon seems to be better than Digg, with more interested readers, that stay longer on the website and navigate more pages. [...]
