The Top 5 Newbie Mistakes

Feb 8th, 2010 | By Dee | Category: Newbie Boot Camp

5. Spending money on a pre-made site or traffic - You would be mortified if you knew how many THOUSANDS of affiliates I manage who have been basically hoodwinked into buying a ‘pre-fab’ or ‘cookie cutter’ pharmacy site that looks EXACTLY like *THOUSANDS* of others. They’re told how much money they’ll make, how they’ll have to do NO work, it’ll all be done for them. And, if they spend just a LITTLE more (eye roll) they’ll even have a ton of traffic to their brand new (crappy piece of fool’s gold cyber real estate) site! It’s bull. Trust me, it’s bull. Unfortunately, more than a few have a $10k credit card bill to show for their mistake – I kid you not.

How to Create Anchor Links

Jan 28th, 2010 | By Dee | Category: Featured Articles, Html and Design

Anchor links are an effective way to drive traffic to your website or to internal web pages by linking to them in your content. They’re usually referred to as a “link” or a “hyperlink”.

In many word processing programs, like MS Word, you can simply highlight the text you want to use to create the link and then click on the link icon in your toolbar. Once that pops up, you simply type or search for the appropriate page you want to link to and you’re good to go. If you convert that document into a PDF you’ll have to take extra measures or use the Adobe products themselves to retain the links but it’s fairly straightforward.
