Here is how:
-They have a good basic concept, blogging about warring a t-shirt which has their branding on it include them I the post.
-The t-shirt actually has a great design.
-One of the big draws for a competition is who the judges are people want to say they have won a competition they have a blog or post worth a prize and having Missy Ward, John Chow, Zac Johnson and me as judges will motivate lots of people to enter. Those judge promoted the competition and they are likely to blog about the winner with their photo and so that will give winner lots of publicity.
-$1000 to the winner and $1000 to a charity is also a great prize.

I cannot believe it has taken me so long to do a affiliate Summit write up. Well what a show.
Having had time to reflect how was it for you?
Thanks to Shawn and Missy for another great event. How do they do it with 4000 plus people they seem so calm and relaxed at the events and are friendly with everyone.
I was part of a panel called Monetizing Blogs for Affiliate Marketing and SEO. I had a great time on the panel and would like ot thank my fellow panelists for helping me and the audience to lean while having fun. The panel was moderated by Kris Jones of Pepperjam (@PepperjamCEO). The panel members were me, Ben Spark http://twitter.com/benspark) Tim Jones (@TheRealTimJones) and John Carcutt (@JohnCarcutt).
Eric Schechter and I hosted our second BlogUp event.
What others said?
“Unfortunately, when we arrived on the 50th floor, we were greeted with the bad news that the lounge had been double booked and we were being moved to the iBar. After much confusion, some negotiation and a few tweets we were all on our way back to the iBar to find 5 icy cold bottles of champage awaiting our arrival, a lovely seating area and the most helpful staff…… The tweets were soon going out as #RIOwin as we enjoyed our champagne. ” www.heatherinbc.com
Yes is was stressful when it is not go right at the start but it came good in the end. Few.
Have I made money following the event directly as having attended?
Yes I made new contacts at the summit and we have started to make moeny together! Have you?

]]>Inbound links are the essential fuel for search engine optimisation and there for inbound traffic from search engines. Inbound links from social media sites from users sharing your content on Twitter and Facebook can be just as valuable. The above is true for an affiliate blog such as this one or any other site.
Here are a couple of tips for getting links.
Helping others
Promoting others on your site who in turn promote your site. Conducting an interview or reviewing or promoting a company or product can provide a great PR opportunity for the brand concerned. If you are saying something nice about them why would they not want to promote it on Twitter Facebook and with own website. If you are lucky they might get their friends to do the same. You could also suggest that they do so. You could also write some content suggestion this to them PR interview questions and making the most of your PR interview my top tips.
Guest posts
Guest post on other blogs or submitting editorial pieces or articles to other publications can be a great way of getting links back. It can be difficult to always be self referential, one tip is to have some friends who occasional reference each other slowly sharing links from a wider range of opportunities and enabling link building without being self referential.
You share I share
Have you noticed that some people share your information on Twitter and Facebook, and that they always share others information. Well look out for them, they are the people to connect with.

]]>Whilst on the surface it seems that this might be something that would cause a stir, in reality its an empty vessel, particularly in the UK, Europe and USA, where google dominates, so much so that Google-it has entered out lexicon as a term for searching online. In Asia and other regions however i can appreciate that this move might be more of a threat to Google, but the fact remains, consumers (in this case users searching on the web) will always gravitate towards the best possible product to achieve their desire. And lets face it, Google is amazingly good at its job. Having done several tests and comparisons with Bing versus Google, you have to admit Googles search algorithm is far more sophisticated and considered than that of MSN.
In essence this Bing ‘threat’ only really applies to PPC and paid search, which represents the revenue streams for Both Bing and Google, and even here, Google is the dominant for based on its sophisticated Adwords tool. In reality, even here, I doubt much will change in terms of googles dominance other than we might keep more of an eye on future developments on the Bing arena.
As far as affiliates are concerned, this might give raise to a group of affiliate who focus solely on Bing rather than Google, whilst the margins and reach might be smaller, equally the competition might be less aggressive…now thats a thought!

Google: £135.91
Awin: £4.63
Amazon: £15.44
Linkshare: £8.18

all in all a good result, but not enough to retire on i don’t think! I reckon the target for August will be a hefty £250, if i reach £200 I’ll be very happy.
