Yeah, try Amazon. You are sure to get some residual sales just based off your numbers alone.

Are there affiliate programs with magazines like the Economist?

Anyone have any ideas about how I can improve my "backpacking in Europe" blog? https://www.thesavvybackpacker.com

I haven't updated it for well over 18-24 months but my traffic continues to grow. I'm not making a ton of money but I'd like to start making more. I'm just not sure what else I can add or how to grow the traffic.

How much traffic do I need to get before I can start making money from private advertisers (ie non-adsense ads). How do I go about finding advertisers?

Also, does anyone have a forum on their site? I was thinking about adding one to my site but there is nothing more depressing than a forum with no community. Anyways, anyone have any recommendations for forum software/providers?

ADVICE FOR PEOPLE LOOKING TO START THIS NOW - AKA dont copy me!

1) Choose a subject for your site that doesnt require constant updates like mine does, especially if you work long hours.

2) Choose a direction that allows you to make good clickbait titles - I know I'm purposely handicapping myself by refusing to give in to the same horseshit that other space news sites do by intentionally misreporting findings for the sake of good headlines.

Yeah, I've resisted adding clickbait articles but I think I might finally give in. My site's traffic has started to increase (despite of me not updating my site) but new "clickbait" articles will probably help increase my exposure.

I'm a big fan of the site in general. Lots of good info since I'm hoping to spend 6-8 months backpacking in the next year or two.

My thoughts:
1) The image slider on your home page switches images way too fast. I can't even read the captions before it switches to the next image.
2) Do you have a mailing list? I couldn't find a signup form anywhere and I definitely would have opted in if you made one available. Depending on how much that Adsense ad in your sidebar is making you, it might be worth testing a version where that was replaced with an email opt-in form. Mailchimp has a free plan and Aweber is only $20/month.

-RTB

Good idea about the speed of the slider. I'll look into slowing it.

I don't have a mailing list. What is the benefit of a mailing list and how would it make me money?

Thanks for the tips!

Really impressive start. Since '07 my main sideline has been consulting with travel bloggers and you're already ahead of the curve. It's Friday at 4:30 so it's crunch time before the weekend but I'll give you some more detailed feedback next chance I get.

edit: Ran a quick audit, read my advice on Page 17 to Verskans about image optimization. Your images are about 90% heavier than they could be if lossless compressed. More detailed feedback later, might not be until Monday.

Well, the site has been around since 2010 so it isn't exactly new but it has been dormant for about 2 years. But I would love any feedback.

And about the image optimization... I had the smush.it plugin but for some reason it recently stopped working. Not sure why.

mcsuede summed it up nicely

More specifically:
1 - You can email your list every time a new post comes out. This helps you in two ways. First it brings more people to your site every month. Second, it makes you less vulnerable to the whims of Google. If you lose all of your search rankings tomorrow, you would still be getting traffic from your list.

2 - You can build a long term rapport with people. Show them repeatedly that you can provide them value and they will be more likely to refer their friends and/or buy affiliate offers you recommend. Want to write an e-book some day? Wouldn't it be nice to have a bunch of people who already love your content that you can sell it to?

3 - If you ever decide to sell the site, a double opt-in list (Mailchimp or Aweber) is a valuable asset and increases your sale price.

I think I never considered a mailing list because I always envisioned my site as a travel resource and not a blog. I don't post new content much but I'm thinking about changing that. Thanks for the tip.

A bit more feedback, took another quick look while watching a progress bar.

1) Add a Read More link instead of the elipsis after excerpts. Why this isn't standard on every theme I have no idea.

2) You need to rel=nofollow and mask your affiliate links ASAP. You also need to have a page with a disclaimer about affiliate links and a privacy policy. Not only does Google look for this information, the FCC requires it by law.

3) Try to lower the number of sitewide links you have in the sidebar in the "article archive" section. Or, at the very least, rel=nofollow all of the links in that section. Personally I'd eliminate that section and move all of that content into the top menu, using child menu items where appropriate.

4) Add more text content above category archives like http://thesavvybackpacker.com/category/travel-tips/. Turn "Money Saving Tips, How To Avoid Scams, Solo Traveler Info & Tons Of Great Advice" into 250-500 words. Every category archive, especially how you use them, is an opportunity to feed Google more contextual information. Co-citation is super important now.

5) Strip /category/ from your URLs in WordPress SEO. There's no reason for it--you're not trying to rank for the phrase category and having /category/ in the URL doesn't provide anything useful to a human. While you're at it Follow, Noindex your Tags, Author, Format taxonomies if you haven't already.

6) Increase the number of excerpts shown on the front page to 15. The default 10 you're showing now means you're running out of post content being shown before you run out of sidebar. That's unattractive and people aren't afraid to scroll. This is in the general WordPress settings under Reading.

7) Add additional calls to action in your footer. Like on Facebook, Click Here for Our Great Content in your Email (list submission form), etc. When people hit the bottom that's another chance to convert them. Right now it's just...empty.

8) After your post content you have doubled up calls for social shares. Ditch one or the other. I recommend using Digg Digg and enabling both the floating bar and buttons after content, ditching whatever you're using now. Async all the buttons in Digg Digg and reduce down to only the networks you want to be active with. For travel, I suggest Facebook, Twitter, StumbleUpon, Pinterest. You should be posting all content to a G+ Page (to get it indexed super fast) but whether or not you include the +1 button in your social share options is up to you. The goal is not to overwhelm with choice.

...and said progress bar is almost done, that's all the free advice for this moment.

Wow. Thanks a ton. I've started implementing many of your suggestions. So far I've done 3,5,7 and 8. I've started working on #4.

I want to write more content but I'm not really sure that else to write about. Any ideas?

On a side note: My bounce rate when from about 3% to 50% with my new theme. Hopefully this is just a temporary thing.

I have a duplicate content question.

A majority of my visitors are from the US but about 40% come from the UK, Canada and Australia. I have one page with a lot of affiliate links but they all go to the US amazon site � so I'm sure I'm missing out on a bunch of sales from non-US visitors. I'd like to recreate that page about three times and change the affiliate links for each of those three countries. I'd hate to rewrite all the content for each page but I also don't want to get penalized by google. Any ideas?

Yeah, I looked into that. The problem I'm facing is that some Canadians prefer to order from the US site because the prices are sometimes less than the canadian site. And Amazon doesn't operate in Australia so I'd like to tailor those links to an Australian retailer.

This is going to be a long post. Hopefully, it makes sense.

Link Theory

I'm not going to lie. I flirt with black hat & spam, but I'm also very paranoid when it comes to algorithm & manual penalties. I strongly believe that you need to accept that link building is and should be considered a sketchy and risky activity.

I try to simulate "white hat" link earning. I focus more on simulating natural processes than building an unnatural amount of links in a short period.

The first step to any campaign is studying the biggest and most reputable sites in the niche I need to work in. I mainly look at their backlink profiles and recent history.

It's pretty easy to classify links into three types. A link profile is kind of like a t-bone steak. You have the fat which is spammy links like directories, squidoo lenses, hubpages, ..., the bone which are the huge authority sites like BBC & Mashable and the meat which is everything in between.

I know that it's impossible for me to get links on the huge sites with such a small budget and spammy links can be more trouble than their worth. In any case, I try to replicate the meaty links for my clients. For example, if I see most good sites in a niche get around 15 to 16 new links from new domains a month, I'll try to get 20 or so.

I still get a positive impact from this because new content is always created with my link. I have never gotten a link on an old page. If I'm having trouble, I may get a link on a page that is a few months old but it's rare.

I only resort to crappy links if I do not begin to see enough of an impact or competition is still using that technique exclusively. In both cases, I'll ensure that I don't do it as much as the competitor.

On a side note, I do pay strong attention to making sure my anchor text is a mix between branded/non-branded. I also make sure I have a good balance between home vs. sub-pages vs. deep links. I tend to just use my instincts for the percentages and often let the author choose his own anchor text. If it's really bad, I'll tell them to change it.

In Practice

I use a lot of automation tools for researching/prospecting but I essentially take the top 50 Google, Yahoo, Bing results / find lists of niche blogs / use Xenu to get list of profiles for forum users / etc. I'll use SEOGadget to grab the emails / contact pages and I send emails to everybody without even verifying their site. The only check I do is to make sure they weren't classified as spammy, PR is ok and their isn't too much discrepancy between PR and DA.

You might think that this is super spammy. I'd just like to say out of 200 websites, I may only get 100 emails and I usually get maybe 10 replies and 10 error messages. I rarely get "gently caress off messages" because I'm legitimately giving people money.

Once I get replies, I'll do a basic check of the site to make sure it's relevant to the niche, isn't crappy, doesn't look like it will be getting penalised soon, doesn't talk about SEO/Advertising too much, etc. If all is good, I'll pitch an idea, mention news, etc. If they are chill, I'll build a relationship and use them for other clients.

If I don't think I'd be proud to show it to my client, I won't get the link. I tend to apologize/offer tips to people I refuse. Sometimes this gets me "gently caress you, my seo guy said it is good to comment as car repair washington on an autoblog selling ipods."

How To Attract People Like Me

- Have a nice site that doesn't talk to much about ads/SEO/etc.
- Post frequently
- Have your email easily accessible on your home page, about page, or contact page. I have only used contact boxes for one client in a really SEO savy niche.

For Those Who Want To Do This

Concentrate on making good content first. There is nothing harder than trying to link to a site that only sells products, unless you want to pay $$$. If you actually have good content, you might get lucky or get away with a anonymous guest post...

How much do you pay for links? I'm trying to find ways to monetize my site. I'm not in love with the idea of selling links but I also have to pay for my wife's student loans... my site is thesavvybackpacker.com

Additionally, how much do your services run?

I was just listening to a podcast the other day and they were interviewing this guy who apparently had a lot of success as an Amazon affiliate. He said something interesting, which is that he saw almost no sales from widgets. The majority of his sales were from links inside his posts. In other words, he would post a link to a product on amazon that matched what he was talking about. Pretty interesting, although it kind of seems a bit shady. But I guess it's really not. Kind of like when radio hosts do those spoken ads. He said that people seem to trust and be more drawn to something personally written by the author, rather than something that is clearly an ad.

I came across an official adsense video a few days back that suggested that wide ad units (leaderboard, large rectangle etc) perform better than tall ones due to the way we read horizontally opposed to vertically. Apparently some sites have had a massive profit increase (40%+) but switching to slightly wider ads - all of the ones they recommended show up in adsense as "recommended sizes" which makes sense. Not only are they more eyecatching, but as they are most commonly used there are more advertisers using those sizes so more competition!

Yeah, google has been pushing me to use wider ads... unfortunately the main content area of my site isn't wide enough to fit the ad unit they're recommending.

Adsense revenue is largely a factor traffic, but you can also multivariate test different adsense blocks to figure out what really works.

Test things like:

Turning on or off particular advertisers
Changing Text Ad colors
Running only Banner or Only Text blocks

You should also multivariate test ad location. Typically the best spots are right after the title and right before the comments. The third location is typically embedded (float right) within the first content paragraph, but not everyone likes that location as it's pretty obtrusive. On most of my sites I put the third ad in the sidebar, but so that it's aligned with the first line of actual content. However what works for you should be tested, not assumed.

Is there a way I can automate this so I don't have to go through each page and change the ads?

You also have to remember that they take a cut of the referral fee, but they can also get a higher fee than and individual affiliate might be able to negotiate. So a 25% cut of the referral fee may still be more than whatever lowest fee you can get from Amazon. If you start making enough sales to be in the 6.5%+ range then you're probably better going direct.

So the logic goes, people see the increased number of followers (even if they are just cardboard cutouts) and think the site is worth following instead of seeing only ~25 people following the site now and thinking "its too small to bother with".

Alternatively, it might be worth paying for advertising or paying a very popular twitter user for some sponsored tweets.

I tried buying FB fans. I got something like 3000 fans for $5. They were all gone about a month or two later. I'm not sure if it helped raise my street cred but it could have.

I get about 20-30 unique visitors a day. Average time spent on my site today with 15 visitors so far today as been 1m 10s. My problem is that no one is clicking on my google ads. I have a top banner ad and then a large square ad at the top of my sidebar. I have the banner set to picture ads only, and the sidebar ad is pic and text ads. I've had 15 clicks on my affiliate links, but no one has purchased anything.

Is this something that just takes time/requires more visitors? I have seven posts so far and about 1-2 affiliate links per post. I'm considering adding an in-post text ad from google, but don't want to appear too spammy, especially while I'm still trying to grow my audience.

As warheadr mentioned, it's fine as long as you add some commentary of your own. Maybe provide some additional insight, or your response to the post. I haven't reposted people's posts on my social media other than retweets, but I do try to reply to people's posts on their blog with my website attached to my post.

I also read that adding the #RT hashtag increases retweets by something like 70% according to some small study. I'm trying to find the source again. I also post pictures of my dog with something funny/cute with a link to my blog/post if you're able to do something similar. People retweet them way more often, and I've gained a bunch of followers that way.

I get 1,500-2,000 uniques a day and still only get a few clicks. It just takes a ton of volume to make anything off adsense.

Im worried that my affiliate links are messed up somehow. Amazon says that 50 people have clicked on them so far. One person bought something a while ago. Yesterday, one of my regular readers told me that he bought something through an affiliate link (though it wasnt the item I had posted, he bought something else). I havent seen it show up on my feed yet. Does this indicate something is wrong?

I'm not worried about the lost revenue so much as having it misconfigured for so long.

Amazon has a link checker tool thingy that will tell you if your affiliate link is phrased correctly.
