Review : Geazen affiliate network

Although we have just over three weeks testing Geazen, what little we’ve seen from this affiliate network is not like a lot of attention both to members and by the attractiveness of their campaigns and, more importantly, by the remuneration for same. For this reason, we decided to dedicate an entry to make money with your website or blog to the company, which also is Spanish to be exact.

We still think and Public Idess and Netaffiliation are superior platform for affiliate marketing, at least we are best run at us, but may eventually outgrow Geazen.

In terms of programs and campaigns as of June 2007 are underway, we started testing those BuyVip, Love and Primegaming Second, all we are running like a shot and it cost very little to reach 100 euros.

If you look at the statistical reports in formats Geazen there are five reports:
Quick Stats: showing a quick view of the track impressions, clicks, sales, and commissions for a period of time.
General Report: this report is ¨ possible to determine the trend of our transactions and campaigns on a graph and in traditional format (numbers).
Commissions: generates a list of all committees registered in the system.
Payments received: the typical report of payments received.
Report per channel: an interesting report showing statistics for each channel (channels must be previously set as indicated below).
Map Overlay: This report shows the distribution of our transactions distributed by countries.

They also have a couple of interesting advanced tools on the one hand are the channels that are created very easily and can then be selected when creating the HTML codes that integrate campaigns that later appear in the channel reports, and on the other side are two parameters that are SubIdTracking additional works similarly to the channels.

The functionality of the channels can be used, for example, determine the best location or size of a creative or ad on our website, so suffice it to create different channels for each ad size or location and then analyze the statistical data.

Finally, we can only mention that in Geazen measurable payments are made either by bank transfer or through PayPal, with a minimum payment of 50 euros (until they exceed $ 50 what is generated in a month accumulates to the next).

10 Formulas to Write Titles that Work

Did you know that the headers determine up to 80% of the readings you receive your publications? Just as important are the headers. In fact, it is very common in the world of copywriting hear the expression that says “titles are ads within the ad itself.” Yes, the headers or titles have a great purpose: to capture the reader’s attention and get read what follows.

If you do not get the attention of your prospects and if you can not keep reading or watching your content, everything else loses meaning. Clearer water. All that time and effort you spent creating content will not be rewarded.

So if Headings are so important why not give them the time and effort that its importance deserves? Think about it: How much time you spend with the words that you use in your posts, in your videos, in your emails, in your sales letters in your ads, etc..?

That is what this article, I’ll give you a formula for writing followed by headers that have already proven effective. By serving these formulas you’ll soon see how improving the response of people to your content.

Let us see then what are those 10 ways to make headers that work:

1. How [do or accomplish something]

This is probably the most widely used formula. It is one of the most effective in capturing the attention of prospects. The word “how” advances to solve a specific problem they have or teach them to do something they want to achieve.

How To Have Lucid Dreams
Overcoming the Fear of Public Speaking
2. Lists

This is the formula used. In fact, this article is a header that uses this formula. It is certainly the most effective to capture the reader’s attention. That number is how many points to advance the article. That realization is something that pleases the reader. In addition, the reader knows they are easy to read for what it will cost less to keep reading. They work especially well the lists of 5, 7 and 10

7 Secrets of the Samurai Forgotten Will Change Your Life
10 Foods to Get Your Abs
3. Headlines that promise immediate or rapid

We want results sooner rather than later. People are like that. We want things to happen quickly and without much effort on our part. That’s why the headlines that promise fast results attract the attention of the reader. Now you know why there is a book called “The Instant Millionaire” (by the way, best seller).

Learn to Play Guitar in 30 Days. Guaranteed.
Instant beauty. Rejuvenate 10 years without undergoing surgery.
4. Would you like to have / do / get [something you want]?

The questions as headers are also very effective. Why? Just because you are running your train of thought. Arouse your interest with the question, know what your answer, and if you want to know how you get that you want to continue reading.

Would you like to lose weight by eating up to 6 times a day?
Would you like to attract more visitors to your blog devoting less time?
5. Ends with [problem] Once and For All / Forever

This formula identifies a problem with your reader. You have the choice. If you want it will have to keep reading.

Defeat Shyness Once and For All
Just overweight Forever
6. At Last I can [do something that you want]

Something that your readers always wanted to do but never did. Now the way you offer to do so.

Al Fin You can quit smoking without gaining weight
Al Fin You can enjoy an exotic vacation without ruin
7. Challenging Header

It tries to capture the attention and intrigue the reader with a challenging question.

Got what you need to have to publicize your personal brand?
Are You Ready to Quit Your Job and Montártelo on your own?
8. Where is [something you want] And How To Get

Where’s the Money on the Internet And How To Get
Where Are the Best Customers For Your Business And How To Get
9. Want to be a [something you want to be]?

This formula is very direct and effective. Asked if the reader wants to be a given, if the answer is yes almost certainly continue to read because he knows that the other side provides valuable information for him.

Want to Be Essential for Your Business?
Want to be a Realtor?
10. Revealing secrets

You are about to give the readers information not known or little known on a topic of interest. Everyone wants to know the secrets that hide behind the functioning of things. No? So these formulas are as effective.

The Secret Of Getting A Loan in Time of Crisis
8 Things Your Broker Does not Want You To Know
The Best Kept Secret of Internet Marketing Uncovered At Last
3 Things I never told you to link to Internet
There are many more effective ways to get headers, ie to capture the reader’s attention and encourage him to keep reading. Now these are some of the most used and effective you’ll find.

Give them a good use, and then make credible promises to meet the expectations. Anyway, let the headers the importance they deserve and the results will be slow.

How to Integrate Facebook in your Blog Comments

Want comments on your blog more social? Then you might want to integrate Facebook in your blog Comments. In this tutorial I will explain step by step how to integrate Facebook Comments, but first let’s look at some of the advantages of using this option in your blog instead of commenting that option comes standard with WordPress.

Note: This tutorial is aimed at those that you have a self hosted WordPress.org blog and heap up as a blogging platform and not for those that you use Blogger or WordPress.com (free platforms).

5 Advantages of using Facebook in your blog Comments
1. No more anonymous comments and spam: With WordPress comments no need to discuss who share their real identity with the world. This option brings with it certain anonymity associated problems such as spam or disrespectful comments to the author of the post or the other readers. This with Facebook Comments “just” (I put in quotes because it really does not prevent 100% of the spam or disrespectful remarks but it reduces a high percentage).

With Facebook Comments who says or does to your Facebook profile or with some of their Facebook pages (you choose), so most of the cases shows your name and your photo. Obviously, when it appears your name and your picture in the comment you care much what you say in this.

2. You get traffic from Facebook: When someone uses Facebook Comments to leave a blog comment that comment, by default, is shared in the wall of their Facebook account and will appear with a link to your post, place of origin of the comment.

Look at the image and also shows a short description of the post, which will have put you in the day you uploaded WordPress post in the “Excerpt” (if you use WordPress in English).

With this we get that any person visiting the profile wall or the page you left the comment can follow the link and find their way into your post. Also, if someone click on “like” in the commentary, it will automatically appear in the wall of “News” of all your contacts. Not bad.

3. Moderate comments become easier than ever: Not only will less spam and disrespectful comments to moderate, but also those who have you can delete with one click.

4. More exposure for your Facebook fan page: If you have a Facebook fan page of your blog or yourself, which I recommend, whenever you reply to a comment that you have left with Facebook Comments (using your fan page for it) will be allowing more people to follow you on Facebook.

More Exposure: (1) your answer will appear on your blog with a link to your fan page, (2) people can click on “like” in your comment and send it to all your contacts as well (ie sent to a wall Facebook News contacts), and (3), you can send (if you want) your answers to the wall of your fan page, and with it, get others to follow you and share it, by clicking on “like” with contacts.

Do not have a Facebook fan page? These 3 items will find everything you need to take one and customize it: How to Make a Facebook page – How to Customize a Facebook page – How to create a landing page to your Facebook page.

5. Tremendous flexibility and many editing options and settings: Comments to integrate Facebook in your blog you need to first install a WordPress plugin. This plugin, which then will speak, can integrate the Facebook application on the blog. Well, both the plugin and the application comes with a multitude of editing options and settings, so you’ll have an enormous flexibility to adjust the settings of Facebook Comments at your leisure.

Among the available options: change the look of the box to comment, choose the language to display, deciding whether the number of comments that can be displayed or if you prefer to contract them when they reach a specific number, choose the width of the box (I use 640 pixels), decide whether the comments are posted automatically or whether to go first for your approval, establish a blacklist of words activate or not the grammar of Facebook, place the box on Facebook Comments before or after the box WordPress, and many more. Below I go a little more detail on these settings and what I have chosen for my blog.

As you can see, Facebook Comments has huge advantages, especially when it comes to promoting your content to spread through Facebook.

3 Disadvantages of using Facebook Comments
1. Facebook Comments Comments do not affect the SEO of your blog: It depends on how you look can be bad and good together. I mean, if you receive comments text with keywords related to the theme of your post and these comments are indexed in Google (like WordPress comments) then you can capture views of Google and maybe even better a position in the Google rankings for certain key phrases.

With Facebook Comments this is not possible because the text of the comments are not indexed in Google. This can also be good because most poorly optimized text can be counterproductive when it comes to positioning your post for a particular key phrase.

2. Comments belong to you but to Facebook: Although the comments appear on your blog are not your property but on Facebook. Any changes you choose to implement Facebook and affecting those comments be without you, blog owner, can do anything about it. Comments are hosted on Facebook’s servers and not yours.

3. Not everyone wants to discuss with your real identity: There are still people who prefer anonymity on the Internet. I respect myself because I did so many years. Not all live in our personal brand, so there may be people who do not favor having to discuss with your true identity. Before you had the option of using Facebook as anonymous comment Comments. This is no longer possible today for a change introduced by Facebook. Conclusion, if you just allow your readers to comment with Facebook Comments can stop receiving anonymous comments. Solution: You can allow anonymous comments on the blog also enabling comment box of WordPress.

Then came the moment of truth …

How to integrate Facebook in your blog Comments
Let us now step by step how to integrate them in your blog comments FB:

1. Download and install the WordPress plugin
First of all we need a WordPress plugin. There are several plugins that make the role but I advise you that in my opinion is the best and the one I use. It’s called Facebook Comments for WordPress. Follow the link and download it as I show in the picture.

Now you install it on WordPress. If you can not install plugins in WordPress see how it does in the picture below.

2. Create the Facebook application
That done we now need to create and activate an application on Facebook. Enter the Facebook plugin for WordPress Comments and see how just under the title “Basic Settings” Application ask us for ID or identification of the application (combination of numbers) and the Application Secret or secret code of the application (combination of letters and numbers). Without these two codes can not run on our Facebook Blog Comments.

To get them we have to create an app. Facebook. Once you have created will give us these two codes, copy and paste in their respective fields, we give “update options” and Facebook is already operating Comments on our blog.

How to create a Facebook application
Before we get those two codes to create a Facebook app. This is a link that will be sent to the Facebook Page or Application follows that of the Facebook Developer Page. Once there you give to “create a new application.”

Important: If you have never created an app. Facebook, when you give the button will jump you to a new window asking you to verify your account. They give you two options for this, using your mobile phone using your credit card. Unfortunately, if you’re in Spain (like me) you may not bring up your country to place your mobile. As you might have to finish putting your credit card number to verify your account. I know, makes very little grace to the credit card number. I recommend you try to follow the process by placing your mobile number (if already available in Spain), but if not listed otherwise you will not have to put your card.

After verifying your account you will see a new window that will have to give name to the app., Accept the terms of use of Facebook and click “create application”.

Now it’s time to fill in the fields that Facebook asks you to complete the process of creating the app. Fill in the tab “About” as appropriate in your case. Now click on the tab “Web site” and put the URL of your blog and if you want, also put your domain name (in my case would davidcantone.com). If you put your domain name will also be able to use the same identification of your application for any subdomain of your domain. Now hit “save changes”.

You can see how here and give you the 2 codes we need, but it is necessary to work in your blog Facebook Comments you tell the URL of the web page that has been to integrate Facebook.

Copy and paste the codes in “Basic Settings” page of options for WordPress plugin Facebook Comments.

Success! If you followed the above steps correctly in the beginning and would have to be running on your Facebook Comments blog.

FB WordPress Comments + Comments

Despite Facebook Comments made in your blog you can continue to keep the comments already have and are sent directly from the box of WordPress. I have enabled myself to comment on the box also Facebook and WordPress (at least at the time of writing this post). If instead you want from now on can only comment on your blog using Facebook Comments then go to “settings”, “discussion” and disable the option that says “Allow people to post comments on new articles” (allowing people to comment new items). Once the changes keep visiting your blog in principle and could only comment with the box on Facebook. I now keep the two because there are still many people who prefer to comment from WordPress.

I leave a picture under the settings I use now for the box of Facebook Comments. Set the width that best matches the design of your blog. Make sure you selected the option to “Check the Post comments to my facebook profile box by default”. This will default all comment and response is made to be shared on Facebook. Manually to comment, or you if you answer a comment, you can disable the comment is sent to Facebook. In that case only appear on the blog but do not share.

Setting up the Facebook application:

Netaffiliation, one of the best affiliate programs to earn money

On this occasion from making money with your website or blog you want to present an affiliation platform that we tested a few months, it is Netaffiliation is not a new advertising platform because it has been running since 2004, but we, to date, had not worked with it.

The test results are being pretty good as we are able to earn about 300 euros a month, without much effort and not exploit all advertising campaigns, by topic, could use in our blogs and websites. Will certainly continue working with them for long.

Netaffiliation is a French company, as Publicidees or AffiliateFuture, is engaged as an intermediary between companies that want to advertise on the Internet and bloggers and webmasters who want to earn money with their blogs and websites.

Like all affiliate sites pay campaign depends on what advertisers want. This remuneration may be:
For printing or CPM (cost per thousand impressions). We have not seen any campaign which rewards this way.
Per click or CPC (cost per click).
By double-clicking (clicking the ad on our website plus another click on the advertiser’s website).
For registration or CPL (cost per lead or record). The user clicks on the advertising coming to a page where you must fill out a form.
For sale or CPV (cost per sale). The gain can be either a percentage of the sale, either a fixed amount of money.
The operation is very simple, a new user must register and to submit your blog or website (you can register several simultaneously), then you have to wait for validated and accepted, once accepted we will request advertising campaigns we want to put on our sites, once accepted a campaign we integrate advertising into your blog or website including the code that we provide from Netaffiliation. Each campaign offers the possibility to integrate different creatives (banners), so that we can choose the ones you like best, there is the possibility of using text links rather than creative.

Many webmasters and bloggers are reluctant to use the platforms membership because you have to trust them and accept that the gains reported are true. However, we believe that the tracking system conversions and profits Netaffiliation is one of the best (we also quite like those of Publicidees and AffiliateFuture) as statistical reports allow us to identify conversions by campaign website date and time.

Payments are made by bank transfer or check, which is quite comfortable. They generate the invoice, you send it, and you just have to wait to receive payment the following month.
