Demons Lounge – Affiliate Marketing Blog!

I first joined PPC Classroom in 2008 when it first launched and have been returning to the members section & forum ever since. PPC Classroom has taught me virtually everything I know about PPC marketing . It is rare to find an affiliate training course that delivers exactly what is expected, however this course does just that.

If you are looking for a get rich scheme this is not for you, this is a quality training course teaching techniques that can help turn your business around – knowledge is power!

Long gone are the days of thrown together a single page web page to test a Google Adwords campaign and affiliate offer. Google dominates ‘search’ and nowhere more so than in the UK, so to be successful in affiliate marketing you need to keep the Google gods happy and create a website that ticks all the boxes.

Ill admit that i have been a lazy affiliate, so it probably took me longer than most (denial) to realize that i was going to have to work hard for my money if i was really going to be a successful internet marketer. Many people deciding on affiliate marketing as a career do not fully appreciate the effort and time successful marketers devote to their online projects. Times have changed and affiliate marketing has evolved, a single web page of below average content is no longer enough to make money online, Google especially has campaigned for this change by implementing many hurdles to regulate website quality and many penalties for those not adhering to their definition (of quality). With every change comes opportunity! If you have the drive, skills, determination and above all the correct mental attitude to learn what makes a great website you are already one step ahead of the crowd.

On site SEO is often overlooked by those new to WordPress. In this article I will cover many areas that can help you get noticed by search engines and potential visitors alike. I hope this post to be a good resource for those new to WordPress and a check-list for everybody else. Although I will cover most aspects regarding the initial set up of WordPress (for SEO) that I personally use I am sure many others may disagree with areas that I discuss, these are my own views. It is quite possible to use other similar plugins or services to achieve the same effect. If you have suggestions that have not been mentioned within my article please feel free to discuss them in the comments section below.

The Headway theme is a new premium theme that has so far caused a bit of a stir in WordPress circles. Headway is a fully customizable theme that requires no coding (a serious advantage for codeaphobics like me). This theme appears to be rivaling the Thesis theme on a scale that has (up to now) not been achieved, but with Thesis’s 2.0 release having been hinted about should you purchase Headway or await Chris Pearsons Thesis 2.0.

Headway offers a fully customzable theme that requires only use of their drag and drop interface. You can drag and drop to adjust your layout without touching the code. You can change fonts, colors, add favicons, add content to the header or footer, add script,  and totally edit everything SEO. Some of the sites built with headway look pretty much amazing!

So whats so special about Headway Theme?

Headway has been created as part of the new wave of content framework Themes, allowing you to fully customize your website design from the administration panel. Headway provides three back office design features for you to get to know (and love). Heres a short video showing some of the great features of the Headway Theme.

Some Example Sites Using Headway!

So do you buy Headway or wait for Thesis 2.0? To be honest it is almost impossible to say as their has been little written about what to expect in Thesis 2.0. I was very dissappointed with the original Thesis theme, however this is because i am not a coder and have heard from those with competant coding skills that it is the best Theme available.

But with statement like “I don’t think you’ll ever need to buy another premium WordPress theme again, once you have Headway. It’s way more than just a blog theme: it’s a blog designer.”- remarkablogger.com, can you afford not to buy this theme?

This is a question that i have been trying to consider for quite sometime now. I have read many blogs, some i have enjoyed, some i have learned to love, others i have hated, but overall i have learned a lot! It takes a certain type of person to be able to create enough interest to keep readers over a long period of time, probably mainly due to the amount of choice available.

When considering blogs discussing affiliate marketing you would be excused for thinking that they must all be similar, however this could not be further from the truth. True they are all discussing, in one way or another, the same topic, but Affiliate Marketing is a wide and varied subject and cannot be summed up by one person. I am happy to link to other affiliate blogs on condition they compliment my writing. It is ideal for instance if they discuss techniques that i do not personally use, or if their approach towards their readers is different to my own. I like to introduce my readers to alternative affiliate blogs, this is but one reason that my readers may keep returning to read what i have got to say.

WordPress has recently come under attack from hackers exploiting the older versions of WordPress… I myself have been compromised!

If you are running an older version of WordPress (anything before version 2.8.4) please check your user panel, how many admin are showing? I have one admin, in the user panel and it was only listing me, however above it showed “administrators (2)”.

It occurred to me that something may be wrong because in the past week 3 subscibers joined even though i dont give this oprtion on my blog.

To date, although WordPress have admitted their is a problem i have been unable to find a definitive definition of a “fix”. I have however managed, after much deliberation, to delete the extra administrator. I deleted them like this:
