Upon deletion of one of my previous blogs, Google had made it clear via their terms and conditions that certain blogs cannot use affiliate links as means of tripping up site crawlers with juicy keywords (in so many words). So, I had thought, how will I still make $10.00/month as an Amazon Affiliate by blogging original content and not linking to products I had hoped to earn 4% on. Not sure. I'm not one to beg or flood online classifieds, article forums, etc. with bold typeset screaming "BUY THIS".
Those who are already familiar with affiliate marketing might be asking why I might be badmouthing Google using one of Google's renowned tools (Blogger)? Well, I'm not badmouthing Google and even though they decided to vanquish my $10/month cashcow I would like to commend Google for their free tools. It's still $10/month (maybe) and that pays for $10/year web hosting of my domain cheapproductbuy.com. Yes, the domain possesses that miniature "buy me" facade however, the exact term [cheap product buy] yields, on average, 36 actual queries/month worldwide and locally. So, I'm not exactly breaking the bank here or appeal as a threat to perhaps other Amazon Affiliates.
Long story short, I am keeping my domain up and running as is because I paid for it. Yes, I paid $10 for the year so I do not intend on dumping it. I intend on keeping a commercial sounding, splog or spam blog sounding domain until further notice. If you do not like my dot com's name and feel compelled to report it to Google you may. You may also let Google know that I will be writing original posts like this like a faithful search engine puppy with hopes of someone visiting my spam blog, purchasing a pencil for $.01 so I may earn a healthy $.0004 (4%) from that pencil. If I keep up this daily salesforce I could possibly make $146,000.00 in exactly one million years. I plan on saving it all but by the time a million years have come to pass, currency may no longer exist, $146,000.00 might be worth $1.46 and I might be dead.
Long live Amazon Associates and Blogger. P.S. I have pencils for sale via my Amazon links. Buy just one please.
