Hey, this is Chris Farrell and in this blog post we’re going to talk Link Juice. The secret ingredient that’s going to help your site soar to the top of Google lightning fast. So now that you’ve got your site set up, you’ve got some content on there and you’re ready to rock and roll, you’re still missing something. Traffic. People coming to your site. If you don’t get people coming to your site, you don’t make money, right? Right. So this is very, very important. One of the best ways to get traffic, crush your competition, and clean up shop is through SEO. Search Engine Optimization. And this is where you sit on top of the search engines.

If people search Google for Chris Mentor Me, and they saw your website sitting right on the top, you’ll get some people coming to it, right? Heck yes you would. Here’s the cool thing. The fact that you’re using a Webstarts site is going to help you a lot. You’re going to be able to rank a lot easier than everyone else because these sites are super SEO’d out. And right now, Google is loving them. They’ve got a high page rank, and not many people know about it yet. So right now you’ve got a huge opportunity to crush it. And if you don’t believe me, try it. Put it to the test and see for yourself.

Go put your website up. You could even keep the Webstarts domain name, so it would be yoursite.webstarts.com, because that’ll rank really well, really easily, because Webstarts has a high page rank. So when you’ve got a site like that, you’re going to have a high page rank, and you’re gonna go up to the top of the search engines, and it’s money in the bank. Wait til you see how easy it’s gonna be to rank. Or even if you use your custom domain name, you know, yoursite.com, the Webstarts sites are SEO’d out, so that’s gonna be easy to rank, too. Really, at this point, you already got the unfair advantage, but let me guess, you want more. You want it all. You don’t want just a little bit of traffic, you want lots of traffic.

You want lots of money. You want lots of sales. Hey, I don’t blame you, because that’s exactly how I think. So why don’t I just tell you the real secret on how to rank on top of Google for just about anything? Well, here’s the thing. Ranking on top of Google, it really comes down to two things: onsite optimization and offsite optimization. What exactly is this onsite optimization that I speak of? Onsite optimization is tweaking your site, it’s SEO’ing it out, taking care of all the stuff like keywords, title tags, description, etc. You know, setting that stuff up properly, that’s what onsite optimization is about.

The cool thing is, if you follow through these videos and you see that video I did on the SEO Wizard, then hey, you already got that part taken care of. You’re set. You’re ready to go, because Webstarts making onsite optimization a breeze, and it’s super easy to do, so you’ve already taken care of that step, but don’t get too excited just yet. That’s just half of the puzzle. There’s still another vital piece that’s missing. Offsite optimization. What the heck is offsite optimization? You might be wondering. Well, it means backlinking. Backlinks are the missing ingredient.

Recruiting Affiliates

When creating your affiliate sign up page, you have to follow almost the same formula as your regular sales copy ‐ tell the reader what’s in it for them. Affiliates have thousands of products to choose from, and so you need to emphasize the benefits of why THEY should promote YOUR product over a competitors’. You’ll want to let them know your conversion rate and explain that you’ll always be testing sales copy to get an even higher conversion rate. If you have a low refund rate, let them know that as well.

Explain the market or target audience to them. What makes this a good product to affiliate with? Does it constantly have a new influx of customers to the marketplace (like parents having babies or people following their dream to become writers)? If your product is listed in ClickBank, which handles your affiliate program completely for you, then you may not have affiliates who are familiar with your product, so explain to them what the eBook is all about and why it’s a good choice for them to promote it.

You want to have an Affiliate Toolbox ready for them to use for their promotions. You’ll give them items like this:

• Viral articles they can alter and use to promote your product in article directories and ezines using their own hyperlink.
• Sample Pay Per Click ads they can use to drive traffic to your site (making sure they fit the rulesand character length restrictions).
• Email announcements they can send to their own lists to introduce your product.
• Reviews of your product that they can use on their sites.
• Graphics like banner ads and buttons they can use on their site or in paid advertising.
• Once your toolbox is ready, recruit them by listing your program in affiliate directories, including www.chrismentorme.net

You can also get recruits in other ways, such as:

• Putting your affiliate program link at the end of your Chris Mentor Me information products.
• Include links to your affiliate page in ALL outgoing media (reports and white pages offered for free on your squeeze pages, forum signatures, social media accounts etc)
• Find owners of websites who have lists of people who might want to become affiliates for you and earn extra money.

Instead of using pay per click search engine marketing like Google AdWords to promote your sales page, why not use it to promote your affiliate page? Especially if you can target “work at
home” or “earn money” searchers, promoting your affiliate page means not one sale per click, but as many sales as that affiliate can bring in! You should treat your affiliates the same way you treat your customers ‐ like gold! They’re the lifeblood for maximizing your chris mentor me exposure and profits, and you need to take care of them.
