PROFITS @ ZREO COST TECHNIQE

Over the last few years, a number of Web 2.0 sites have been launched. And some of them have come as a boon to Internet Marketers. Well, many people still don’t realise the power of these websites. But there are other smart Marketers who have used these Web 2.0 sites to their full potential.

I have noticed that one particular website has been used by some smart affiliates to generate commissions without spending a dime on their own. In this article, I will show how you too can use that site to generate instant affiliate profits.

The website I’m referring to is www.squidoo.com. Squidoo is a website where you can create your own web pages (they call it lenses) on any topic. You register with them for free, think of a topic, give a name to your’lens’, put some content on it and publish it.

So how can this be of any help to you? Here’s how - Google loves Squidoo and their lenses (web pages) get good rankings in the Google search results. Which means that a well developed lens can get you hoardes of free traffic.

Let me explain this with a few examples. Recently, there was a big product launch. The ebook was called “Project Black Mask” and it sold 1000s of copies in the first few days. Huge number of people were searching for the term “Project Black Mask” on Google, to get reviews of the product. Many people still search this keyword.

I searched for the keyword myself and this is what I saw:

Notice the third result in the natural listings. Its an “Under Construction” lens on Squidoo. The guy who owns the lens has no content on it whatsoever but he still has the third ranking on a very popular ebook. Had he put some content, reviewed the product and put in his affiliate link in there - he would have made a killing.

Another example. This one is “Day Job Killer”, an ebook that broke all sales records on Clickbank. I remember that during launch day, there were over 10,000 searches on this keyword. There are many searches on it even today. Look at the results:

See the number 4 result - again a Squidoo lens. This time the guy has got some content on it with his affiliate link. Imagine the kind of commissions he makes for creating a free web page.

You can search for any number of these ebooks and you will find a Squidoo page up there. Notice the name of the lenses - this is the part after www.squidoo.com/

In both the examples, the name of the lens includes the name of the ebook. This gives the page more weightage for that keyword on Google and helps in its ranking.

This is a very smart way to make some quick affiliate commissions, without spending any money whatsoever. Here’s a step by step guide to use this technique:

1) Do some searches on popular ebooks and look up the Squidoo lenses that are ranked high. Make a note of their content, writing style, affiliate links, etc. These lenses are doing it right and you want to copy their style.

2) Find out what Internet Marketing products are going to launch in the recent future. Remember, you are looking for products that have a potential of becoming popular. So go after the products from the Gurus, the big guys. You can sign up with www.imnewswatch.com to keep track of these launches.

3) Create a lens on Squidoo. Give it a name that includes the name of the product. You can use dashes or underscores as well.

4) Develop the lens on the same lines as the ones which get good rankings in Google. Include your affiliate links a number of times.

That’s it. Just wait for Google to pick up your lens and list it for the targetted keyword. If you do things right, you will surely make handsome affiliate commissions.
