I had almost completely neglected my actual affiliate site for some time now.

My focus has been on this site for several months now. I updated this entire site, and started to add auto updating content. The main difference, besides the fact that I am now running my site with WordPress, is the thought that I put into the placement of my Adsense ads. (it is starting to pay off in terms of income)

Well a couple of days ago I revisited my site The Golfers Company, and realized I needed to do some serious work, and right away. My stats have been stagnant for some time now.

Ever since I converted my site to WordPress I have been getting more pages indexed.

For six months I had a partially dynamic site that was just so-so in the search engines eyes.

Now every time I create a new page or post it seems to be crawled that same day.

One of the many benefits of running WordPress as a backend is its use of a template system. This makes adding content and site continuity a breaze.

Lets talk about browser toolbars.

I have recently come across the Free Traffic Bar program. I read about it and subsequently joined on the same day.

The Free Traffic Bar (FTB) is very small and loaded with many helpful links and resources. All of these extras are in pull down menus so they don’t get in the way.

Its simple. Just install the toolbar, go through the quick set up, and browse as you normally do.
It takes about 2 days to get approved by FTB, but while you are waiting you are still earning credits for surfing the web.

Show me yours and I’ll show you mine.

The most recent trend in generating free leads (clicks to your site) today, is a kind of mutual agreement. You get clicks to your site based on the number of sites that you visit. This form of lead generation is good to have in your marketing plan.

Link Referral has a very interesting way of generating traffic to your site.

The short story goes like this. You sign up (it’s free) and log in to your account. Enter your site details.

For some time now I have followed the pack in choosing the layout of my sites. A three column design with site navigation on the left, content in the middle, and links on the right. The right hand column was reserved for my pay-per-click advertising.

I use Google Adsense pay-per-click ads as my right hand column. I was hoping this would give the visitor who did not find what they were looking for on my pages an alternative. Google does a good job of supplying ads that are relevant to your site.
