Hope everyone has a great day!

So I am in the process of building several niche blogs for my affiliate marketing network. My biggest goal after writing some quality anchor content, is to generate some traffic. (Ya can’t make no money if ya ain’t got traffic)

One of the best ways to build traffic is to rank well in the search engine results for your target keywords. The biggest contributer to your search engine results is the quality and quantity of links pointing to your site. A great way to build quality links to your new blog is by leaving quality comments on other blogs in your niche.

Now, I’ve always struggled with coming up with relevant non-spammy comments that are unique. However, a great way to get around that and still get a back link is through the use of trackbacks.

I found a great video on Friday Traffic Report that gives a step by step walk through on how to use trackbacks to get more links and traffic.

In case you haven’t heard, today is International Talk Like a Pirate Day.

In celebration of this momentus occassion, I present the Corsair Ergonomic Keyboard for Pirates:

If you have a Facebook account, you can now change your language to English (Pirate)…

Finally, you can’t celebrate International Talk Like a Pirate Day without a good pirate joke:

A pirate walks into a bar wearing a paper towel on his head. He sits down at the bar and orders some dirty rum.

The bartender asks, “Why are you wearing a paper towel?”

“Arrrrrrr I’ve got a bounty on me head!”

If you’ve followed this blog at all for the past coulple of months, you know that I am in love with Market Leverage. (It’s kind of sick, actually.) In this short time, I have found a few offers that generate enough profit that I could realistically quit my day job and be a full-time affiliate. (Not quite ready to do that yet though.) However, one thing that I haven’t really done anything with is Market Leverage’s referral program.

According to Market Leverage they have “The Industry’s Best Paying Lifetime Referral Program.” They will pay 5% of the commissions earned by each Publisher that you refer. That ads up to some scratch if you can get a nice referral base under you.

Here’s the deal…

I’m holding my own mini-Market Leverage contest. I want to see who can earn the most over the next 30 days. Winner gets $100. Easy Peasy.
