If you are just getting started creating an affiliate marketing business online one of the easiest was to do so is to get a blog at Wordpress.com. It’s free, it’s easy, and you can be up and running in minutes. However, an affiliate marketing blog on Wordpress.com can be shut down before you can say why. Why? because of the Wordpress definitions of a spam blog that are often overlooked. So, do you splog or blog? Are you a splogger or a blogger?
A blog that is operating with the primary purpose of driving traffic to affiliate programs fall into the Wordpress category of “splog.” Wordpress defines an affiliate marketing blog as one it will ban. Wordpress states:
Affiliate marketing blogs: Blogs with the primary purpose of driving traffic to affiliate programs. To be clear, examples like people writing original book or movie reviews and linking them to Amazon, or people linking to their own products on Etsy do NOT fall into this category. We’re only talking about blogs that are primarily designed to promote different affiliate programs.
If this is your blogging strategy, get thy self your own domain and hosting company and get Wordpress installed on it. By doing so you avoid the risk of having your website removed. Nick at Wordpress Support told me that the Wordpress.com Terms of Service do not apply to the self-hosted version of Wordpress that you download at Wordpress.org. That software is free for you to use as you please with no restrictions or requirements regarding splogging or blogging in any way. Good news for those of us on our own websites. Good information for you if you are just getting ready to build a blog and use it for affiliate marketing information and sales.
As for affiliate marketers already established on a Wordpress.com host blog site, certainly you have concerns about moving to a new website as that would entail changing all of your URLs and losing the pagerank and traffic avenues you have established with your links. I suggest you write to the folks at Wordpress and ask them what you can do to comply with their terms of service to avoid being banned as a splogger. Do it now. It will give you peace of mind and if you are at threat you can begin restructuring your site to comply with what Wordpress will require of you to be able to keep your blog.

Do you want to make money blogging? Then here are some quick tips you can use right away. Do you know that Blogging as become a staple activity in the internet for quite some time now? And many people who blog but don’t realize the remarkable potential of earning money through blogging. No matter what topic you may blog about there are sure ways to make you earn money for your blog publishing efforts. One of the sure ways and probably the best method is through Google AdSense.

Having an audience where you can display your ads is a key element to blogging success. In writing a blog, make sure that you are building enough topics that web viewers would like to read. An interesting blog with quality content should be a prerequisite before putting up ads. This is because a blog with no good content would not attract any readers at all, which would then render the advertisement as useless.

You can go for ads once you have created or acquired good content to your blogs and have a reasonable number of readers and regular visitors to your blog site. Google AdSense allows you to add content-related advertisements directly on your blog in exchange for a fixed fee every time a person clicks on the displayed ads. This process is simple to do since most blogs come with modules which allow you to insert Google AdSense ads.

Another great idea in blogging for profits is to add banners. Banners can be obtained by joining affiliate networks like ClickBank or Commission Junction. You can then choose banners from advertisers that you want to appear on your blogs or website. Don’t just choose any banner or advertiser, but choose those which fit the theme of your blogs or site. If you are blogging about technology and gadgets, you should not put banners about food or medicines. Rather, you can place banners of cell phone companies and their newest products.Your blogs should only contain original content to make them stand out. If you are copying the ideas of others, you split the readership of your blogs with other blogs of the same topic. Learn to come up with unique and interesting blogs in order to emerge on top of other blogs. By being original and having good content, your blogs will have a high chance of being placed on top of search engine rankings.

If you want to get a feel of blogs or submit blogs but don’t know where to start searching, join blogger.com. This site is run by Google and it’s totally free. It has a module which links to a Google AdSense account providing you with hassle-free advertising potential. However, if you really want to start making money blogging, then Blogger.com can only take you so far.

I would like to be able to upload images using Wordpress admin dashboard, and have the images display as thumbnails in a separate website (that already exists). I’ve seen this all done automatically for another site www.bbycks.com in the ‘event photos’ section but would like to know how to do this.
