1. ve been playing with affiliate marketing the last month and was a bit surprised with the
amount of traffic I was able to drive using a blog.
Below is how I set the blog up.
1. I used wordpress.
2. I placed this tag into the header for the SEO part of the site
<title><?php the_title(); ?></title>
<meta name=quot;descriptionquot; content=quot;<?php the_title(); ?>quot;/>
<meta name=quot;keywordsquot; content=quot;<?php the_title(); ?>quot;/>
3. I increased the ping list

3. 10. Last but not least is CONTENT and I‘ll be adding articles everyday to the site from free
article sites.
The blog was getting really good traffic but very little was going to the affiliate site. So I
increased the size of the header and made it look like an entrance page. I am sure that
there are those that will jump up and down and yell foul. But I am currently driving a ton
of traffic to my affiliate site as well as making good money off it.
Now if I could only find about 10 more affiliates that are worth working with.
How to tell if you may be in the sandbox...
1. The site is on a new domain and less than about 1 year old
2. The keywords you are trying to rank on are considered competitive.
3. Most of the pages of the site has been indexed by Google.
4. The site ranks well for its' competitive keywords in Yahoo and MSN
5. The site ranks well for the non-competitive keywords on Google.
6. The Googlebot visits and crawls the site on a regular basis.
7. The site ranks well for an allinanchor:quot;your keywordsquot; search.
8. The site has a decent number of unique IBL's and an OK PR
9. The site does not have anything known to cause a ban or penalty.
10. The site has decent SEO
11. The site does not rank in the top 300-400 for it's main keyword.
If your site does not have all 11 things I listed above, then you just rank poorly.
Stop asking about the sandbox and Get back to work!
