o Is Affiliate Elite Worth all that Money?


Quite frankly, anything coming from Brad Callen
is worth the money. Affiliate Elite is no different.

I have always been a fan of Brad Callen's products
mainly because they work. Years ago, I used one
of Brad's free courses connected with SEO Elite
to turn my struggling main site into a profitable
venture.

I will never forget that fact. Nor will I downplay
the fact that Keyword Elite has been the major
reason I now have many #1 positions in Google for
my targeted keywords.

Affiliate Elite will be just as important. This
latest software from Brad lets you find the
successful affiliate products and marketers
online.

Knowledge is everyone on here - once you can
find out who's making the big affiliate income
and the Clickbank (or PayDotCom) products they're
selling to make that income - you will be ahead of
the game.

Plus, Affiliate Elite can show you all the
keywords these marketers are using in Google
Adwords to promote their products.

Powerful and valuable information any marketer
can use to earn their own incomes...

o The Big Google PageRank Slap - Perception Is Everything


Recently Google did a major PageRank Update
where a lot of sites were downgraded. Many
experts believe this PageRank Update was
Google's response to link selling - sites
which sell links lost points in PageRank,
which is shown in that little green pixel bar.

It may be a smart move on Google's part to
curtail this practice, who's going to buy a
link from PR2 or even a PR4 site? Besides this
could be more than a warning that your site will
go down even further if you continue to sell links.

Now this is more of a cosmetic change in PageRank
than a real change in your true rankings in Google.
Just because your PR goes down, doesn't mean your
keyword rankings or traffic from Google goes down.

I saw some of my sites go up, some stayed the
same but my major site took a big hit - falling
from PR6 to PR4. This was more of a devastating
blow than I expected mainly for psychological or
moral reasons. After years of building the best
content you can provide and constantly getting
quality one-way links; to see that PageRank drop
was very disappointing.

I have been around for a while so I have experienced
many Google Updates - anyone remember the Florida
Update? I also keep my ears peeled to discussions
of the latest updates in Webmasterforum and Stompernet ...
so I knew not to panic just because of the sudden drop
in PageRank.

I also knew what they were saying was true because
my major keywords stayed the same and my Google
traffic actually went up. But that's little comfort
when you're talking about Google, you immediately
go into overdrive and try to find out where you
went wrong. What caused the drop - because whether
it is meaningless or not; you're still going in
the wrong direction.

I saw many of my competitors drop too but many stayed
the same or even increased in PageRank. What are
they doing right, what am I doing wrong? I don't
sell links but does Google think I am selling links
was main question? I even moved one external link
from my main page to another part of my site, just
in case Google is taking that as a paid link.

For SEO reasons I have very few external links on
my main page. Can't see why Google downgraded my
main site. I have been at PR6 for years.

Here in lies my main beef, with Google you never
really know where you stand, you are constantly
walking on eggshells. No matter how good your content
or site is - one mis-step and you could be in the
doghouse.

It wouldn't matter so much if it was one of the other
two major search engines downgrading your site but this
is Google.

Free organic traffic from Google is vital to any
online site or business. I would take traffic
from Google over any other source of traffic
on the web, except for traffic coming from my
articles on other sites, which probably got
their start from a search in Google.

Google and Google PageRank has always been important
to me - that's one of the reasons a sudden drop
causes so much concern.

There's another important reason Google PageRank
is important to me.

Most SEO experts mistakenly believe PageRank is
meaningless because Google is not giving us the
true ranking of any site or reveling all the
backlinks which is supposedly one of the major
factors in how Google ranks sites.

For this reason, many webmasters have dismissed
PageRank as a vital element in their sites - Don't!

Google PageRank is extremely important if
you're doing business on the web. The higher
PR you have, the better. And it has nothing
to do with keyword rankings or first page SERPs.

What many SEO experts fail to realize (not
really their business) is the whole "perceived"
value of PageRank.

Google, hate it or love it, has become the most
respected company on the web in the eyes of the
majority of the web's users. It carries enormous
weight and prestige. The "perceived" value of a
high PR7 or PR8 is extremely valuable.

We are not talking about link selling, we are
talking about how a perspective business partner
or customer will treat your site/business.

Say you have two identical sites you want to
do business with online and you discover one
is a Google PR2 site and the other is a Google
PR8 site - which one would you choose to do
business with? Honestly?

PageRank is important. PageRank has meaning.
Even if it has little importance on your SERPs
rankings, PageRank can greatly influence the
success of your online site or venture. Don't
ignore or dismiss PageRank as a meaningless
relic that didn't quite work out as it should
have.

High PageRank will always be valuable.

The day Google gives its own site a PageRank of
PR1 or PR2 instead of the current PR10 - that's
the day you can dismiss PageRank as truly meaningless.
