Latest Google Update Meant To Improve Domain Diversity

Google

It looks like the latest algorithm update coming from Google’s search engine was meant to diversify the different domains shown on the first page of results.

There were a few complaints about the same domain being shown on the entire first page for some results so this update was rolled out throughout that strange week of traffic starting around August 28th.

Here’s an example shown by SearchEngineLand here:

But for some reason the update hasn’t had the wanted effect because it still shows the same results here.

Matt Cutts also tweeted about the update:

Just fyi, we rolled out a small algo change this week that improves the diversity of search results in terms of different domains returned.

We’ll see if this is still an ongoing update and if it will actually fix the problem they want to get rid of. I still have some sites bouncing back and forth doing the usual Google dance, but I am seeing some improvements with multiple domains being on the front page. I’ll keep you updated once I hear more on this.

4 Tips for New Affiliate Marketers

Affiliate marketing is steadily growing due to the seemingly small amount of work you have to put into it. I want to share with you some tips to use when choosing a product to promote.

#1 Promote UNIQUE Products

You have to find and promote a product that really stands out from the normal ones out there. Promoting a product that hundreds upon thousands of people are already promoting make it much harder on you because of the competition. Sure, you might have a harder time finding that one unique product, but the research is well worth it. If you struggle to find something that is extremely unique, try to gauge it based on the selling page. Videos and attractive, but complete and concise, content will be great in getting someone to purchase it. With experience you will learn what works and what doesn’t when selecting a product to become an affiliate for.

#2 Useful and Effective Affiliate Tools

A good merchant will always provide their affiliates with tools to help them promote the product themselves. Whether it is squeeze pages, swipe email templates, articles, etc. You must make sure to look for those very useful tools. If there are none available, make sure you KNOW you can promote the product well enough to your skill. Beginners may need these tools that the producer creates, but if you think you can go without them then try it out!

#3 Communicate With The Creator

Try to get in contact with the product creator to establish a little relationship with him. See if the creator responds well to your messages so you can see if the customers who buy the product you are promoting would be satisfied as well. Creaetor who aren’t very helpful with their own product could lead to customers returning what they bought and possibly losing their trust in you. You don’t want an unhappy customer, let alone a commission lost.

#4 Tracking

You must track how your customers are reaching your sales page, what they click to go to the merchant’s sale page, and which of all these strategies work best. This is especially important if you are investing in some kind of PPC strategy promoting a product. Track what keywords create the most clicks, how much you’re spending on that click, and whether or not it actually converts. A lot of affiliate programs offer tracking IDs so you can keep track of these things so be sure you take advantage of that! If one thing doesn’t work, move on to the next.

Conclusion

Affiliate marketing isn’t as easy as a set and forget type of business (nothing really is) so you do have to put some work in and try different traffic driving strategies. That’s why tracking is such an important factor. You can’t just implement 5 different strategies for promoting and not know which one is working best! You could be wasting time and money! Try only one or two at a time and see if those work well or not. If they don’t, simply drop them and replace with a different plan you had in mind.
