Student Loan Tips: Worthless Credit Scores

Student Loan Tips: Worthless Credit Scores

AG Over WP

Bold prediction: Affiliate Genie will make affiliate marketers abandon Wordpress. At least the successful marketers will.

On the market only since December 8, 2009, Affiliate Genie does what an Internet marketer needs a CMS system to do – nothing more, nothing less.

At first glance, you can see the Wordpress heritage – just minus the bells and whistles.

Chris Rempel’s system builds on his affiliate marketing philosophy:

1. create articles and reviews in tight, profitable niche markets

2. use HTML and PHP without a database, not Wordpress

3. build sites that attract ultra-targeted buyers

4. publishing product reviews and product-related articles and content is the simplest possible way to suck in traffic from long-tail “buyer keywords” in the search engines

5. presents a main “promo” affiliate at the top of each page

6. convert targeted visitors into buying

CR does not rely on gimmicks, lists, PPC, or any latest fad or trick. The idea is that you don’t need a ton of visitors to your website, just the ones with credit cards in hand. Let the other guys educate. You want to jump into the visitor’s buying cycle when they are ready to act.

How to maximize the value of Affiliate Genie:

1. follow the included manuals – why reinvent the wheel

2. create unique content

3. start with quantity – you can edit at any time

4. the money is in the review

5. link every free social media resource to your reviews

6. within a month, add video to the daily results pages

Hundreds of free, organic resources are available to drive traffic to your reviews. Many authority social media sites give one-way backlinks to your reviews giving your sites Google “juice” and a targeted visitor.

My initial sites built with AG have over delivered. What I find thrilling is:

* compliance with FTC guidelines as to online reviews, endorsements, testimonials, and affiliate links

* edit built in privacy policy and disclaimer pages

* customize colors and logo in seconds

* clean, simple templates create a consistent look across all of your sites

* rate each product 1 to 5 stars

* disclosure of whether or not the author has tested or just researched the product

* pages load faster than Wordpress

* modifying and customizing content is more than easy

* instantly add scripts like Google Analytics

* simple one-click backup

NOTE: While Chris Rempel (AG creator) hates spinners, I believe there is a legitimate use. Maybe he is talking about automatic spinners that create unnatural content.

Most bookmarking sites give you space for a summary or comment of the item bookmarked. A good spinner can create endless short, unique comments to prevent any rare but possible duplicate content penalties.

Every product lacks something we might want. The only issues I find irritating are:

1. don’t use special characters in the title, or the page won’t save

2. category system is a bit clumsy

3. unlike WP, AG does cost a few bucks

In short, dump Wordpress and concentrate on marketing, not pretty themes and plugins.

Teeth Whitening Overview

Teeth Whitening Methods

I don't have a clue who thought up teeth whitening beyond the cleaning the dentist recommends every six months. We look for at home remedies instead to avoid the cost – and pain – associated with prior visits to the dentist.

Teeth whitening has become required for a large number of people due to minute food particles that intrude into small cracks and fissures that deepen in teeth as we age.

The fast track to stained teeth is paved with tobacco smoke, red wine, and strong coffee.

For many people , bright teeth are more important than actual dental health. We want those pearly whites for luring a mate, slamming a job interview, and just to feel more confident about ourselves when we look in the mirror.

If “greed is good” was the mantra for the 80s, then “vanity is good” could become the catchphrase for the Obama era.

The color of your teeth may cause you to look much older than your factual years. People naturally associate bright white teeth and a big smile with youth.

Maybe fear of going to the dentist is at the root of the surge in DIY teeth whitening systems.

I have known doctors, even an oncologist who was a smoker, so afraid of the dentist that his patients had to look past his brown teeth and rancid breath. I guess if you have cancer, the doctor’s yellow teeth are not an issue.

Gels and pastes and pens are simple to use, work fine for most individuals, and are within the budget of most people. You can start by brushing with baking soda and rinsing with hydrogen peroxide to take care of the minor issues before using the whitening system.

If your dental health is basically sound, any number of home whitening kits will bleach your teeth white. I would try an at home kit before going the laser or cosmetic procedures route.

Some concerns with home teeth bleaching kits:

* too many products to choose from

* many of the low cost kits sold in drug stores are not the best to use

* may take from two weeks to three months to reach significant results

* may not be as easy to use than you thought

* may not tackle deep staining

Laser teeth whitening procedures are another story. This is done by a dental professional in a clinic and can whiten your teeth in as little as 1 hour. A special tooth whitening gel is applied. Then, a special light is directed at your teeth to activate the gel and destroy nasty stains in the enamel.

Normally, this will take several applications of the gel and light over one hour, and cost hundreds of dollars. The good news is that the procedure is painless, with no drills or injections, and the cost is thousands of dollars less than cosmetic dentistry.

Laser might be the unsurpassed procedure for teeth whitening if:

* you want bright, white teeth now – not in 2 months

* you have a job interview and you need to look your best

* you have dark stains from years of smoking, coffee, red wine

* you want a more youthful smile without yellow, dull teeth

* you are starting a fresh life after a divorce or other life changing event

Due to the current economy, many dentists are providing payment plans or financing.

Systematic teeth whitening procedures – whether do-it-yourself or in the dentist's office – are the way to keep a bright smile that will make you look younger and give you the confidence to face any of life's challenges.

If you have an interview for employment or a wedding coming up, by all means seek out professional laser teeth whitening. If not, go online for a free trial system to see what works for you. (All you pay is shipping and handling for a 14 to 90 day trial, depending on the system.

Pick Your Affiliate Products Before You Write

When I use the Google Adwords Keyword Tool, I look at an exact match instead of broad, hide Local Search Volume and Advertiser Competition, and show Estimated Avg. CPC.

Keywords with high CPC for teeth whitening:

What I look for are the "buying" keywords. Also look for specific companies and procedures:



Look at what advertisers are paying for bright/brite smile teeth whitening. I found my first keyword phrases to research further and to lock on in the natural SEO results.

Next I will find a score of affiliate products to match the best keyword phrases.

Teeth Whitening - First Steps

I know nothing about teeth whitening, so I chose that topic for the challenge. Nothing on any of my other sites to give me a head start.

I used the Google Adwords Keyword Tool to make sure it was a high CPC term. Actually, I searched the 36 original, and the best keyword phrases in the list are:

acne
teeth whitening
natural skin care
anti aging
divorce
veneers
hawaii honeymoon
time management
arthritis
cosmetic surgery
quit smoking

Notice a theme. Health and beauty problems for the most part.

The losers appear to be:

vegan foods
wedding speeches
college guide
green smoothie
latte art
prevent heart disease
goal setting
yoga

See the difference. The high CPC keywords deal with problems to be solved now. Vegan foods, green smoothies, and yoga may help prevent heart disease, but all of these can wait if I have acne or brown teeth.

My next step will be to write a 500 - 600 word article, create a Squidoo lens, and bookmark it.

After the first article, I will use a spinner: WP Spinner - to create unlimited originals. But first things first.
