Fellow affiliate ninjas! Thanks for dropping by my Affiliate Marketing Blog. Why not stay updated by subscribing to my RSS Feed or joining my Internet & Affiliate Marketing Newsletter? - Rian, Sept. 2007

Keyword Xray Day 10 started with a bit of a continuation from Day 9, setting up a web presence. For those who didn’t go the Blogger route, Ryan mentioned how Xray Dominator’s could get access to 1 year of free web hosting with Jumpline.

This is great for people who’ve never had a web site or hosting before, but of course since I already have my own hosting, and plenty of domains to go with it (50+), I won’t be changing at this time. (I may in the future as I’ve been finding that 1and1 isn’t very server app friendly)

Keyword Xray Day 9 is finally here! (Wow, I can’t believe this post has been sitting in my drafts for 2 weeks!)

Yes, I promised there wouldn’t be a huge lapse between blog posts on Xray, but what can I say? I got swamped with other things, then a bit lazy. I tend to undertake too many things at once, and not finish anything. (A deadly habit I hope to break soon). A delay in 5 days, became 2 weeks, now becoming more than a month. Talk about a good way to kill off readership! Just start a cool case study, stop it less than half way through, and watch your traffic and feed count come crashing to a halt. Learn from me, don’t do it!

Yes, I’m alive (if you cared). I realize it’s been a while since I posted an update. I apologize for the delay. There never seems to be a lack of other things going on. Moving to another country sure doesn’t make it any easier, but now that I’m back on my night shift schedule, my late nights online can continue as before (and I can resume my bad habits as a coffee junkie) . We’re actually almost finished with the Xray Domination training, though my blog postings are obviously behind. Currently, we’re on Day 23 of the training, though technically the training should already be over. We had a few days with no postings from Ryan. I’m sure no one was complaining though because there is so much information to digest, it’s hard for anyone to keep up.

As a quick continuation from Keyword Xray Day 6, I created a pretty massive list of keywords using every resource Ryan mentioned, plus a few of my own. Of course I won’t be using all of these keywords, but the majority of them are highly targeted brand variations. With digital products, often times you can only get so creative with bidding on the brand name. For example, if I were to promote Keyword Xray only on the brand name, I might use:

Wow, it’s May already and I’m just getting to my Day 6 Keyword Xray post. I’m actually further along than Day 6, just haven’t logged it in. On Day 6 we’re finalizing a product to promote within our passion market. Like I said in Xray Day 5, I’m gonna roll with CarDomain.com as my chosen affiliate merchant. I have a good feeling about them.
