			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft" title="Link" src="http://umbra.nascom.nasa.gov/people/sun.gif" alt="" width="108" height="109" />I&#8217;ve recently learned a little trick to getting some good strong links.<br />
I haven&#8217;t done any link building on this site as you will see in the image below so I figured this site would be perfect for the experiment.</p>
<p>this site is also good for that because quite frankly, I don&#8217;t really care too much about this sites ranking in the search engines since it&#8217;s not really monetized.</p>
<p>Anyway, Here is the current status of my site. I&#8217;ve cut it down to just the stuff I&#8217;ll be working on. If you have the <a href="http://www.affiliatefrustration.com/go/SEO_for_FireFox_Extension/102/1">SEO for FireFox Extension</a> you can look it up yourself so you know I&#8217;m not making it up.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">So here are my current linksaccording to the plugin.</p>
<p><img class="size-full wp-image-103 aligncenter" title="seofff" src="http://www.affiliatefrustration.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/seofff.jpg" alt="" width="309" height="224" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Pretty pathetic huh? <img src='http://www.affiliatefrustration.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
What I&#8217;m going to be concentrating on are the coveted edu and gov links. Some people don&#8217;t think they really mean a whole lot, I don&#8217;t know, I guess that&#8217;s up for debate.  The reason I want to work on those is the challenge I suppose.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Basically that&#8217;s about as far as I&#8217;m going to go here. If I don&#8217;t fail miserably,  I&#8217;ll give a more detailed description of how I&#8217;m doing it&#8230; maybe. <img src='http://www.affiliatefrustration.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> It&#8217;ll probably be a few days for the links to show up if they do at all. It will just be a few but I&#8217;m only trying to see if it works, not build a million links.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">So check back soon for the results.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a title="Pajamas and Loungewear" href="http://www.affiliatefrustration.com/go/link/96/1"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-97 alignleft" title="wordpress-affiliate-theme" src="http://www.affiliatefrustration.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/wordpress-affiliate-theme-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a> Although I don&#8217;t have a lot to report, I thought I&#8217;d post an update on my new <a title="Pajamas" href="http://www.affiliatefrustration.com/go/Pajamas/96/2">Pajamas</a> affiliate site. As I said before, I started with one of my <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="http://www.affiliatefrustration.com/wp-affshop-downloads/">wordpress affiliate themes</a></span>. I&#8217;ve spent the las tfew days picking colors and working on the graphics for the home page.  Most all other images will be provided by the merchants so I don&#8217;t have to worry about those. The links obviously don&#8217;t work yet as I really have no data other than a few test posts.</p>
<p>I also got the product pages updated to use custom field instead of the excerpt so that will make it a little easier when I finally get around to uploading all of the product catalogs.</p>
<p>I think for the most part I&#8217;m done with the design, with the exception of some small details. Now it&#8217;s time to go searching through all of my merchants to see who has the stuff I&#8217;m looking for.</p>
<p>I think it&#8217;s turned out pretty nice so far but if you have any suggestions I&#8217;d be happy to hear them.  I&#8217;m hoping to launch it by the end of the month. Then I can start my link building promoting etc..</p>
<p>Thanks for reading. Now go buy something on my <a title="Coupons" href="http://www.affiliatefrustration.com/go/Coupon_Codes/96/4">Coupon Codes</a> site. <img src='http://www.affiliatefrustration.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My <a href="http://www.affiliatefrustration.com/go/coupon_codes/91/1">coupon codes</a> site is on autopilot until Saturday or Sunday so I thought I&#8217;d start a new project and thought it would be cool to let people see the progress live. My new site is <a href="http://www.affiliatefrustration.com/go/pjsloungewear_com/91/2">pjsloungewear.com</a>. It&#8217;s going to be a PJ&#8217;s,Loungewear,lingerie, etc.. store.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m using one of my <a href="http://www.affiliatefrustration.com/wp-affshop-downloads/">Wordpress Affiliate Shops</a> but making a bunch of modifications.  All I&#8217;ve done so far is removed excerpts and switched them to use custom fields for the images. </p>
<p>I&#8217;m also using the <a href="http://www.affiliatefrustration.com/go/Category_Icons/91/4">Category Icons</a> and <a href="http://www.affiliatefrustration.com/go/Post_Ratings/91/5">Post Ratings</a> plugins. I just started today so there&#8217;s a lot left to do. I need to update the header, fix the links in the side bar, change the colors etc. </p>
<p>I alos need to get me data feeds straightened out so when it&#8217;s real I can upload all my data. I haven&#8217;t the slightest idea how many posts that will end up being but I&#8217;m guessing it will be over 10k.</p>
<p>So here I go again, check back often at <a href="http://www.affiliatefrustration.com/go/pjsloungewear_com/91/6">pjsloungewear.com</a> to see the progress.<br />
I&#8217;ll try and post updates here as well but I&#8217;m gonna be busy getting this up and running.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s been almost two months since I&#8217;ve updated this blog. I&#8217;ve been pretty busy but things seem like they&#8217;re gonna be calm for a little while. Of course with the holidays coming, I imagine it will get crazy again pretty soon.</p>
<p>So anyway&#8230; Back at the end of August I posted about launching my <a title="Coupon Codes Corral" href="http://www.affiliatefrustration.com/go/Coupon_Codes/84/1" target="_blank">Coupon Codes</a> site.  Since then it&#8217;s been doing okay. I&#8217;ve done a little link building, added a blog category which I just started updating and made a lot of changes to the way if functions in general.</p>
<p>Some of it loads a little slow for my liking so I&#8217;m gonna be tackling that soon. But after two months of being live, I&#8217;ve been getting a good bit a traffic but that seems to have hit a plateau so I need to work that too.<br />
My main source of links is Commission junction and their Promotional Data Transfer.  Since goin glive I&#8217;ve added 2,275 posts or&#8230; Coupon Codes to the site and have generated 58 sales. here is a shot of my CJ reports&#8230;</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-85" title="report" src="http://www.affiliatefrustration.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/report.jpg" alt="" width="349" height="63" /></p>
<p>Most of that is from last month. This month seems to have slowed down a lot.  Other than the few issues I&#8217;ve already mentioned.  I&#8217;m going to be looking into some API&#8217;s to make updating the site even easier.</p>
<p>I have a couple of posts in mind from a few emails I&#8217;ve received lately so hopefully I&#8217;ll be updating my blog more often and with something will be a little more helpful that the junk I&#8217;ve been posting lately.</p>
