Written by John Colanzi


Continued from page 1

The only answer I can give is, "I didn't realize."

I never realized how viral articles were. I had no idea that little articles could circlerepparttar globe for years.

I didn't seerepparttar 124827 big picture. I wrote those resource boxes with no regard forrepparttar 124828 future.

How can you avoid makingrepparttar 124829 same mistake?

1. If you're going to promote an affiliate program, don't link directly.

Sometimes programs just disappear. Other times, you may findrepparttar 124830 program hasn't lived up to your expectations.

Set up a redirect page on your website. Ifrepparttar 124831 program disappears, or you no longer wish to promote it, you can resetrepparttar 124832 page to lead wherever you choose.

2. Don't lead directly to your opt in list.

You never know when a list may change their pricing or services. For one reason or another you may change listservs.

A better option is to set up a page on your site to capture addresses. If you leave your present service, you can editrepparttar 124833 page to lead to your new list.

If I had set up my links according to option number one for affiliate programs, or two for list building, I'd have keptrepparttar 124834 leads flowing andrepparttar 124835 orders coming for years.

Creating killer articles can drive traffic and pull in profits for years. So avoidrepparttar 124836 mistakes of this "dumb monkey" and reaprepparttar 124837 full rewards of your efforts.

Does Your Homepage Need To Go On A Diet?

As a rule of thumb it is recommended that a homepage be around 40 - 50 Kilobytes in size. Any larger and will be a slow downloading homepage, any smaller and it will be quicker than average.
