Track Your Website and Blog Actions

It can be very frustrating when working diligently as an affiliate marketer or Adsense publisher only to find that the results don't change and few visitors have found your Web site. This can lead one into some precipitous actions of making several changes all at the same time and in the space of a couple of days. Then you find that you've had an influx of visitors or your earnings have gone up dramatically but you are still none the wiser as to what worked and what didn't.

So by being impatient and not recording in a diary what changes you have made to which website you can still end up as baffled or even more frustrated because you still don't know for sure which precise change made such a radical difference so you can 'rinse and repeat' the exact action.
No doubt you have heard this said many, many times before and if you are like me, you sort of said "Yes, I'll do that one day when I start getting some traffic" and of course, you start getting traffic but have no idea of how, where, why, what or even when. By that time you could well have missed a great opportunity simply because you weren't monitoring the site as closely as you should have been. It doesn't need doing hourly but daily is best. Yes, it's time consuming but so is going broke slowly.

If you can't or don't want to pay for a paid tracker, then at least use a free one like Google Analytics and there are other free programmes that do an excellent job. Some of these programmes have a paid version that will do even better. At least make sure you monitor all your websites at least weekly.

I have finally learnt that one of the many steps when designing, making and launching a new website is to make sure I add the tracking code into the site at launch time. I have made myself up a check list because I've found that there are so many 'little' things that have to done simply because they make a "Big" difference.

Affiliate Marketing Help when Using Audio

Have you ever been quietly surfing the internet and clicking through following links that are in line with your interests only to be startled out of your enjoyment by a loud voice seemingly coming from nowhere?

This has happened to me once too often and it near scares the wits out of me! I live alone and enjoy my quiet solitude learning and doing the things that interest me. When I am researching a topic that I need more information for, my focus is strong on learning new information. When I'm suddenly scared witless I am off that website so fast Jack Brabham would be envious at the speed of my mouse. Oh, in case you don't remember who Jack Brabham is, he is one of Australia's famous formula racing car drivers who has long since retired. But he was fast!

When a web site publisher doesn't pay their viewers the respect they deserve by giving them an actual choice first to listen to an audio message or not, but it is programmed to start up immediately or after 3 seconds or whatever, this is so bad mannered it is unbelievable. When you treat people with such little respect, why would they want to give you any more time?

I believe audio recordings used in this way are doing more harm to a persons credibility than they fully understand. Not only is your website seared into the memory of the noise recipient of "danger, danger, danger" but you never actually ever get a chance to sell or inform them of anything!

So if you have trialed an audio recording on your website to start after a set time instead of when the person clicks to hear the recording if they want to, perhaps it's time to go in and do a bit of re-programming before it becomes way too late. That way, you will have a far better chance of people actually hearing your audio message.
