Content and Product
Promotion
One thing that
makes WordPress site different to a standard HTML site is that
everything you publish on your WordPress site appears chronologically.
If you write and publish an article post on your site today and do the
same thing again tomorrow, tomorrow's article will push the one you
published today further down the page.
On the other hand,
one of the beauties of using WordPress is that it is incredibly easy to
add new content to your site. To add new content, all you need to do is
click the 'Write' link at the top left of the page, write what you want:
And then hit the
'Publish' button over to the right to have this content published to
the net almost instantaneously:

You will note that
you have the option of writing a new 'Post' or a new 'Page'. If you
choose a 'post', then whatever you have written will appear
chronologically on the main 'homepage' of your site. If on the other
hand you create a brand new page, there will be a link to that page
from the homepage of your site, but the page that you have just created
will not appear chronologically on that homepage.
In terms of the
kind of content that you should add to your site, think about the kind
of visitors you are going to attract. Anything that you can add to your
site which will be of interest to your visitors adds extra value to it.
Thus, adding written articles about training boxer dogs, videos that
highlight dog training techniques, articles about various different
types of dog food (don't forget that you are promoting a dog food
product) and literally anything that will be of interest to visitors is
fair game.
If possible, a
significant percentage of the content that you publish on your site
should be unique, content that you create (or have created for you)
which cannot be found anywhere else.
However, you can
'bulk up' your site with content that your visitors will nevertheless
find valuable by downloading and republishing articles from major
directory sites like EzineArticles and GoArticles on your site. As long
as you leave the original author details attached to these articles,
republishing them in this way to add extra content to your site is
perfectly acceptable.
Nevertheless, you
should aim to have a site that features content that is overwhelmingly
unique. Creating content of this nature is not however particularly
difficult, probably nowhere near as difficult as you might imagine. For
example, visit the two article directories highlighted in the previous
paragraph, read a few articles that are appropriate to your market and
then re-write them in your own words.
Whilst content
that other people have written is copyrighted, the ideas or concepts
behind those articles are not. Consequently, there is no reason
whatsoever why you cannot take other people's facts, information and
ideas and recycle them into your own unique content materials.
Look for
appropriate video materials on sites like YouTube. These can be added
to your site simply by copying the 'Embed' link that you will find next
to any appropriate videos that you want to use:

Paste this link
onto your site, and the video should appear, although if you have any
difficulties, there are plenty of video plugins available in the
WordPress directory that we considered earlier. If you cannot 'Embed'
the video, use one of these plugins to help you.
The essential
facts about the content that you and to your site is that it should be
closely related to the topic of your site and it should be of interest
and value to anyone who is interested in your subject matter.
On a site that is
primarily focused on boxer dog training, the vast majority of your
content should also focus on training boxers. However, even after
adding all of this boxer dog related content, you still have no way of
making money on your site as yet.
This is therefore
the next step.
Promoting your
affiliate product…
From the product
information page about the dog food related e-book that you discovered
earlier at Clickbank, you should be able to form a fairly clear
impression of the main ideas and concepts behind that book:

You can also
search the net by using the product name to find additional information
about it.
I'll gotArmed with
all this information, it should be possible to write a reasonably
cogent and informative review of this product. In this review, include
a couple of minor weaknesses or errors if at all possible, because
doing so makes it look far more like you are writing an objective,
unbiased product assessment rather than a promotional piece.
Nevertheless, the
ultimate goal of this review is to recommend the product you are
promoting to your site visitor.
When you do so,
try to encourage your visitor to buy a product from your link by
offering them a related free gift or bonus for buying from your site.
Depending upon what kind of product you are promoting, you should be
able to find something suitable to give away by looking for appropriate
PLR materials.
Materials of this
nature are those which you can do almost anything with before claiming
the finished product as your own. For example, you can download a PLR
e-book, rewrite as much or as little of it as you want and then
republished the rewritten product as if you wrote it from the beginning.
Hence, by using
PLR materials, you can quickly and easily create a unique bonus product
that you can give away to your site visitors to encourage them to buy
the product you are promoting from the link on your review page. To
find materials of this nature, either search Google using 'your subject
+ PLR' or see what is available at PLR Wholesaler.
Once your product
review is complete, you need to add it to your site. However, you want
to make this product review the main page of your site, one that is
ideally a completely static page to which you can send a constant
stream of targeted visitors, confident in the knowledge that what they
are looking for will always be there.
In order to do
this, go back to your WordPress administration area, click on the
'Setting' link (1) at the top right hand corner, followed by 'Reading'
(2) at the top left before finally deciding how you want to create your
'Static page' (3) for your review:

With your review
published on a static page on your site, you are now ready to start
driving traffic to that individual page.
However, you
should not send all of your site visitors to this page because as part
of the process of generating targeted visitors, you will also generate
incoming links at the same time.
Google uses these
incoming links as one of their major considerations when deciding how
highly they will rank individual pages of your site in the search
results. One of the primary requirements they have when assessing the
strength of your link network is that the link structure of your site
should appear natural.
If every incoming
link points at exactly the same page, it does not appear natural,
meaning that you must introduce a degree of variety.
For example, if
you write keyword targeted articles to promote your business before
publishing them on an article directory site like EzineArticles, you
will include a hyperlink in the brief biography added to that article
which points at your site. Whilst a significant percentage of these
articles should point at your review pages, others should point at
content pages, specific articles, video is that you have embedded and
so on.
This variety
appears natural, which may mean that less people visit your review
pages, but at the same time, it also means that Google will probably
take your site far more seriously. If this is the case, you will
receive plenty of free traffic from the natural search results which
should more than compensate for a handful of people who never got to
see your review pages.
