All along, the eBay affiliate program is under the CJ (Commission Junction) affiliate network. Starting on 1^st April which is a few days back, eBay’s new global affiliate platform known as eBay Partner Network has gone live and ready to accept registration. Affiliates who all along have been using CJ eBay links are advised to migrate to the new eBay platform.

This is indeed good news for eBay affiliates who have been clamoring for a separate network away from CJ. Under the CJ network, I was unable to sign up for the eBay US affiliate program. For those of you not familiar with the regulations, in order to sign up with a respective eBay affiliate program of a certain country, you need to be live in that country geologically. Some eBay affiliate programs like HK eBay and UK eBay is less stringent and allows you to register even though you did not live anywhere near or in these countries. Others like eBay US and eBay Canada and also eBay Australia where all the money are, they are virtually closed to people living in other countries.

I received a piece of good news from Google this morning regarding the reinstatement of my Google Adsense account. I have been waiting for an answer for the past one month counting from Day 1 of my account termination. Even though I am a very optimistic person by nature, I have already given up hopes of getting my account reinstated given the information and feedbacks I have garnered from forums and other blogs alike.

But the strange thing is I have gotten so used to making do without Adsense ads that the news did not really affect me that much. I thought I would be very delighted but I am just glad to have an extra revenue channel back. I have some good results in using CBpro Ads on some of my websites and this is where the dilemma starts, should I go back to using Google Adsense or other contextual ads.

Nah! As always, I would go for both. Initially, those first 2 weeks without Adsense is hell but the good thing to come out of this experience is that I am forced to look for alternatives and good things have come out of it. I’ve always believed “whenever there are obstacles, opportunities are always around the corner” and this certainly hold true for me each time I meet with an obstacle. So the next time any obstacle appears, take time to survey and look around for the hidden opportunities that are just round the corner. Good luck!

I have mentioned in my previous post “Good Quality PLR Articles Can Save You time” on why using PLR articles can save you much precious time. If you have missed the previous post, you can read it here. However, I also mentioned that you need to look for good quality PLR articles or content to begin with. Now this a problem that many people faced and that is where to look for good quality PLR articles given the high number of PLR membership sites.

Personally for me, the best PLR articles membership site that I have experienced so far is Niche-Content-Packages.com. The articles in this PLR articles membership site are high quality in nature and I also love the fact that only a limited number of a particular PLR article package will be sold. Once sold finished, these PLR packages will be taken off the shelf for good.

Although Niche-Content-Packages.com is by nature a membership site, you can either choose to join its monthly membership or you can opt to purchase credits to buy PLR articles instead. In this way, there is no pressure on you to join and then regret later, although this would be a highly unlikely scenario given the quality of the articles they have there. If you need a lot of quality PLR articles every month, Niche-Content-Packages.com is the place for you to get them.

Check out the video below for more information. Alternatively, you can check out their website here for more information.

Content is king and everyone online knows that the best way to attract visitors to your site like bees to honey is to provide regular, unique and quality content to your visitors.

So what does PLR articles got to do with providing quality content to your visitors?

PLR articles are great for people like you and me who write content for our blogs and websites but do not have the time to do the research or look for topics to write on. Should you elect to write the content yourself just like me, you can make use of good quality PLR articles to help you save precious time and leave you with more time to market your business!

Google Adsense may be the revenue of choice for many webmasters. But many webmasters are quietly turning to other contextual networks to monetize their websites after getting their Google Adsense accounts suspended or worst terminated for good without any advance warnings.

That is why I realized it is very important for any webmasters to recognize the need to explore and have multiple sources of income from other networks. If you read one of my earlier posts, you would have known that I got my Google Adsense account closed recently and still pending an appeal. As such I was researching other contextual networks and advertising systems to replace my lost income from Google Adsense. I found a number of replacements and one of the best is CBpro Ads which is an advertising platform and system for ClickBank products.

Wow! I just received an email from Google today that my appeal is under consideration and although the email do stated that it is by no means a guarantee that my account will be reinstated. Well, at least there is a piece of good news today. After almost 2 weeks of waiting, this is good news indeed.

As for the other contextual networks that I have been testing, I have yet to see any positive results. Maybe it has to do with the fact that my websites are based in very specialized niches. I have been testing some other advertising scripts and systems that come to my attention recently.

I will post some reviews and introduction in the near future and I hope you will find them useful to your online success.

Recently, I have my Google closed for suspected fraud click. Imagine my surprise when I tried to log on to my account, only to receive a message that my account has been closed due to click fraud. It was beyond anything I have experienced during my brief time as an online marketer.

The thing that makes it the more surprising is that the previous night; I was still checking my stats and everything seemed normal. There is no surge in traffic to indicate I may be a victim of someone trying to get my account closed by Google.

A quick check on Google Adsense forum revealed that a large number of webmasters are affected too even though there are no indication of any click fraud involved. Some webmasters suggested writing in to Google to highlight our plight. However, the general reply from other more experienced webmasters is that the chances of getting your account reinstated will be very slim. Left with no further options, I sent an appeal email to Google immediately and I hope to get a reply from them as soon as possible.

The time of the year has come again when every webmaster will be sweating over their websites’ page rank. As you know, Google updates page rank of each site every quarterly. The last update was in early Jan, however these few days; I started noticing the page rank on all my websites behaving abnormally.

I have websites spread across a few web hosts and servers and surprising all the page rank start behaving abnormally at the same time. One moment, I have a site page rank down to zero and the next day, the website has its page rank increased.

I don’t recall experiencing such abnormities during the last update and after a quick check in various forums revealed that Google may have change its page rank algorithm and that might be the cause of my websites’ abnormalities.

Using PLR materials to produce an entirely new product is not new. In fact, most internet marketers in one way or another would use other people’s products to create a better product. However, a lot of online marketers misunderstood the concept of using PLR materials or simply put it, they don’t care at all. Most of the time, these online marketers, instead of using PLR materials to create a superior product, opt to rehash the same thing or worse, simply change the title and cover design to give an appearance of a new product and then release it to the market.

If you are the buyer, you will obviously feel shortchanged and definitely not going to buy from that particular marketer again. This is something that happens on a very regular basic and if you have been online for a period of time, you will find a lot of products that you have bought will be in some way or another similar in context and content. I know that because I have purchase products that are simply rehash materials from another previous product. While this maybe a very profitable way of generating a good amount of cash, it does leave a sour taste in the mouth for consumers and definitely will not do your reputation any good at all.
