StumbleUpon bans my site

Posted by: Andrew Rondeau | Comments (22)

stumbleupon icon StumbleUpon bans my siteI’ve always been a big fan of StumbleUpon.

It’s easy to use. I have loads of friends and I like sharing lots of different sites.

And the knock on effect is that it brings traffic to my site.

A few months ago StumbleUpon suddenly banned my site, this site. Friends were telling me they could no longer ‘thumb up’ blog posts on WeBuildYourBlog.com.

I was gob smacked!

I contacted them and asked why.

They said, “I’ve been spamming and someone complained”.

I thought, “I don’t spam, I’ve never spammed.”

That should be the first stage of your affiliate marketing strategy.

In this article we shall cover how we approach strangers!

Writing to strangers hoping they will sell hundreds of your products is EASY.

blogging ideasIn a recent post I wrote about the top blogging topics to write about.

So now you have chosen the topic you wish to blog about, what are you going to write?

You may have chosen one of the “hot topics” like recipes, but what exactly will you write about “recipes”?

Will it be about the utensils required? Cakes? Healthy eating? 10-minute dinners?

Once you have decided on a specific subject matter, what information do you want to share?

Here are some ways you can generate ideas…

Ask your friends

I’ve been Stumble Scammed

Posted by: Andrew Rondeau | Comments (0)

missing I’ve been Stumble ScammedI was recently asked to ’share’ a post with all my friends, it was entitled, “AMBER ALERT: NEW Damian Paul Duncan 11 MISSING TN 7/8/09″ (web page image on the left).

So I thought that’s a good cause, I shall. So I did!

Then I start getting some complaints back from my Stumble friends.

Asking why I am sharing such rubbish, etc. But the web age associated with the ‘complaint’ was a page I didn’t recognise. I simply replied, “I didn’t share this…sorry”

Then I receive a few more. I was confused.

social bookmarking 300x300 Your On Line Credibility Depends On Who You Hang Out WithEstablishing a credibility as an internet marketer depends on many components.

I’ve previously spoken about how your credibility starts with your name and your expertise levels.

Another area is your presence in the social media space. It is vitally important who you hang out with and how you interact with people.

As a very simple example: imagine yourself at a conference you are attending as a delegate. You see the list of speakers and you notice that predominantly they are together. There is a kind of aura of expert knowledge attached to them. Then there are some people that are not speakers but also socialise with them.
