If you want to make a living from affiliate & internet marketing, it's important to spread your risk across a number of different income streams and types. Here's how.

There are services available where you can purchase Twitter followers and Facebook fans. But is it worth it? Probably not, but it depends.

Search engine referrals used to be the number one traffic source for websites. It still is, but social media is catching up quickly, and if you don't consider it for your website, you're going to miss the wave.

Links from .edu and .gov websites are generally more beneficial than links from other sites (of the same PR). But how on earth do you get them?

If you wanted to get someone banned from Google Adsense, could you do it? We think it's actually possible.

OK, so you want to work on your search engine ranking, but where to start? There are basically two ways to go about it: short term (quick) results, and long term (slow) results.

We've discussed this topic many times before, but it's still one of the most common questions we get asked: "How can I make sure my website shows up in the search results?"

It's a question we get asked all the time - how long will it take for my site to start showing in Google (on the first page of results)? The answer? It depends.

There are so many myths out there surrounding search engines and how to rank higher in the results, that we thought we'd publish some of the more common ones.

Search engines are very clever, and they don't like it when people try to artificially manipulate their results. Optimising your site to rank higher in the search engines is one thing, but certain tactics will bring you unstuck. And many people do them without realising it.
