Free Advice to Publishers
So here I am, with my own blog (about time right?), and I’ve decided to run it the way I’ve always thought a blog should be ran.. Instead of people constantly sending me emails and private messages about helping them out with their site, I am going to allow you, as a publisher looking to increase revenues, to post your problems here.
I’ll go through your site, the issues you may be having, and try to come up with a quick, no bullshit assesment of what you should do, in my opinion, to increase your CPM, CPC, and/or CPA revenues.
All I ask in return is that you link to my blog www.aojon.com from the site I’ve helped you with. There is no formal cost except the direct link. Thanks!
Hi John,
My best wishes for your new blog. Hope we can learn something from you too, and I am sure we’ll do, as we have allready did (you know through this enormous post at SP)
Best wishes,
Nick
Hey Jon, I just started a mortgage/loan site (I know I’m crazy to try to get in this industry) and I was just wondering if you have any advice on how to promote it. Traditional methods really won’t work too well because the niche is so crowded. Do you have any “out of the box” ideas to drive even a little traffic to a site in such a saturated market?
Thanks!
Andrew
This is fantastic! I still have a lot to catch up on in your thread in SP but I couldn’t wait to ask your advise. Like Andrew, I know that the market I have chosen is a bit populated but I thought there is room for one more (me). I have had my site for about one month. It is a PR3 getting about 30 uniques per day. Adwords is costing what I am generating with Adsense. I noticed in my logs that 75% my customers stay on the site for about 30 secs or less. What can I do to crank it up a notch or two or a million (just thinking big)
John- have followed your SPF thread from birth to death, and appreciate all the time an sharing you have given.
Any pointers you could share to build traffic for my blogs-they are about 4 months old, pr3/4 respectively, and automotive in nature.

http://autodetail.blogspot.com
They are niche sites with industry specific information, and I usually update them 4-5 times weekly, and pinged them into my yahoo.
Here is what I have done thus far:
1) SEO’d with keywords, h1/h2 tags etc.
2) Submitted them to about 100 directories.
3) They are indexed on all of the top 3, and most of my traffic comes from SE’s. I have a few paid links as well, but they dont do shi*.
Daily uniques are hovering around 30 each, and adsense
clicks are about 1-2 daily.
So what sayeth the master that I might perk up the traffic to 3 or 4 digits daily?
Thanks, and the links to this blog are in place on both sites-
Brian
ps- any anchor text you would prefer with the links?
It’s about time you started upa blog
I look forward to future posts!

Hello, it was a great post on SP about looking from serfer view
ok, where’s the huge SP thread? i’d like to read it…
Do you ever experience days of commission payment posting delays?
I started with CJ about 1 month ago and had steady sales of at least 2 per day. So I upped advertising the first of April. NO SALES SINCE. Just wondering if one day I might get 10 sales updated.
Still up for a link to your blog for advice?
Thanks
