Another Newbe

Hello I'm trying to keep up here. I just signed up with Gmail for adsense & Copeac for alliliate offers today, did some keyword research and got a domain in a niche full of spammy made for adsense type sites. Now I need to get transfered to paid hosting with a control panel to install wordpress. Then even though I have no idea what I'm doing, I may be able to follow along at least.

:bigear:
 
Is there a possibility of getting banned from Adsense from rss scraping and autoblogging?

I believe somebody mentioned in this thread getting caught scraping rss feeds. When doing this stuff should you create a webhosting account in a different name. I think I remember this from SEO Empire regarding cycle sites.

Any others I should pick up or try? Heh.
 
I'm not doing a spam blog or anything like the methods mentioned in this thread, but is it possible to ping a bunch of sites AFTER you have posted everything? I have a huge database of posts and I wanted to try to get a ton of backlinks from them all.

Totally doable. You can do it manually, or use a script to do it.

Yes, it is possible, but not likely from what I understand.

Back to work for me. :D

Hi, I joined the forum after a I read a recommendation from Eli - I've been blown away since yesterday. Haven't stopped reading the forum since, I've been to other affiliate sites and all they talk about is boring industry trends etc and there's just no helpful information.

Anyway, this thread has got me posting - I'm up for the challenge. I've been reading up on stuff like this but never really dared get my feet wet for a couple of years now, and finally am getting into it.

I still don't understand blogs vs websites vs directory sites vs MFA sites. Nor do I understand why I need more than just an adsense account and one or at most two affiliates.

ArtDeco, the main difference between the different sites you mentioned here are where the content comes from and how is it published. Blogs (if they are original content ones) are just websites which one main section for posting articles. Directory sites are lists of other websites, and MFA sites are blogs/sites that are purely made for Adsense. The content for an MFA site could have been scraped from somewhere else, or just rewritten from another site - but the main point of them is to get click throughs.

If you are just starting out in this, I don't think you do need more than an Adsense account and a couple affiliates - don't take on too much at the beginning cos you'll just over burden yourself and get confused.

Good advice. It's really easy to get overwhelmed around here so don't over do it. Set your own personal goals and just keep one eye on everyone else for informational purposes.

Welcome aboard everyone!
 
Help?

Anybody have a clue why I'm getting this error message using WP-Autoblog?

Warning: MagpieRSS: Failed to parse RSS file. (not well-formed (invalid token) at line 69, column 138) in ...wp-content/plugins/rss_fetch.inc on line 237
 
Post the place where you downloaded WP-Autoblog will ya?

As for your problem, look at line 69 in your RSS feed, its probaby incorrectly formatted.
 
more n00bie questions

Hello ,

Another long post with questions for SEO Mike or Emp or Aquinas if you are reading this....

Background - I own a domain called PatioPondGarden dot com in a niche full of lame looking sites about gardens, decks, patios, ponds, grills, barbeque, fish, flowers, and some other backyard niche sites that all look worthless to me.

For example: pond dot com sells only patio furniture and patio dot com sells mostly pool tables and recliners, bbq dot com and grill dot com are just MFA sites, and nobody sells pond or pool stuff this time of year. Maybe it's just because this is the end of the season; I don't know, Wordtracker doesn't say, and I'm not sure how to look up traffic for last May or July .

I set up a free wordpress blog with a flowery template, got a Gmail account and a Copeac account, and I am writing up the unique pages using key words like patio, deck, lights, christmas, grills, gifts, lawn and yard care, cookouts, tailgates, and barbeque, and names of seasonal fish and plants to separate whatever traffic I get into garden, patio, pool, pond, grill as well as the seasonal pages- Halloween, Christmas, Easter, May Day, Labor and Independence Day articles with their adsense ads.

I can look up peoples climate zones by region or zip code to get planting times and temperatures for their specific regions as well as plant and fish hardiness charts by species and make up a nice little gift for them as well as a page of sales copy and or a customer poll that leads to an affiliate offer like a zip code submit. Copeac has an email submit for a choice of a $500 Lowe's or Home Depot gift certificate that might be of interest to these home and garden owning, middle aged, middle income people, but it only pays $1.50 per qualified lead. :confused:

So Questions, questions, and more questions -

1. Do you know of anything better paying I can use for my poll? $1.50 per lead sucks.
2. Can I get a script to look up peoples nearest urban locations by IP address inexpensively?
3.What should I expect to pay for rights for stuff like a BBQ ebook, a screen saver garden calendar, or some other wiget or gift for customers to download after providing their zip and email?
4.What should I expect to pay per hundred or thousand for good quality traffic like hgtv dot com has?
:bigear:
Please let me know if you think this is all too impractical or too seasonal or just generally yet another money loser. I can not pay for pay per click traffic so I will just have to work with whatever cheap traffic I can get and I think I may just give up on this outdoor stuff and focus on the indoor topics like literature, movies, good fireplaces, and great scotch until spring arrives.
.

Thanks Guys;
Art Deco
