Indexing Tip #1:
Never launch a new site with a lot of back links. Build natural links over weeks and months.

Let’s face it, there is no guaranteed method of getting indexed by Google fast, and buying links from high-ranking sites does not guarantees anything either.

The most immediate red flag you should watch out for is your number of incoming links. According to Google, it takes time to get link popularity and sites should not have more than 100 incoming links.

It’s okay to launch with a quality link or two. But beyond that, you are pushing it!

Here is the scoop! It takes 30-45 days for Google to deep index new sites. Instead of sitting around during “sandbox” time, use that period to build a strong set of natural back-links with a variety of sites.

Indexing Tip #2:
Register your domain name at least four months before you plan to launch the site.

As I searched the net for about 6 months, compiling ideas, thoughts and ways to start a business, I became quickly became overloaded with information. I must have signed up with 100 or so newsletters, downloaded dozens of free eBooks, subscribed to untold numbers of free online courses, and the list just goes on. One of the smartest things I did during that time was I didn’t spend a lot of money.

I finally came to the point where I said to my self, ‘Donnie you have to get out of the learning phase, and do something. My mother used to say to me when I was growing up, “Son just do it!”

However, there are also pitfalls in the Affiliate Marketing business. These common mistakes may cost affiliate marketers a large chunk of their profit everyday unless they are avoided or rectified. Here, we will enumerate the five most common mistakes that Affiliate Marketers make. We will also discuss how they can be avoided.

Mistake #1: Choosing the wrong affiliate products

Most people want to earn from affiliate marketing as soon as possible. In their haste to earn much in a short span of time, they tend to choose a bandwagon product; one that they think is a ‘hot’ item. They will choose a product that is in demand without considering if that product appeals to them. However, this is not a wise move.

Instead of jumping on the bandwagon, you should choose a product in which you are truly interested. For any venture to succeed, you should take the time to plan and map out your actions. Pick a product that appeals to you. Do some research about that product and determine if they are in demand. Choose a product that you will promote passionately.

Mistake #2: Joining too many affiliate programs

Since affiliate-marketing programs are so easy to join, you might find that you have nothing to lose if you join multiple affiliate programs. For many, this may seem a great option as it may provide you with multiple sources of income. However, joining multiple programs and attempting to promote them all at once may prevent you from giving the full attention that each of your programs deserve.

Thus, the maximum potential of your affiliate program will not be realized and the income produced will be disappointing. The best way to get excellent results is by joining one program that pays at least 40% commission. Then, give it your best effort by promoting it enthusiastically. As soon as it is making a reasonable profit then you can now join another program.
