It's also the best way I know of when you are trying to get someone to buy the product you are writing about. Great post again, and I will definitely be back.

OBL are outbound links and you would link out to another site within your review or post referring to the topic of choice and that keyword. For example if your post is about marketing, you would highlight that word and link out to another authority site, preferably one with good ranking which gives you juice and google loves to see you share with others. Hope that helps. function sbmgOptinValidateForm819(name,email) { var name_fld = document.getElementById('sbmgOptinValidateForm819' + '_' + name); var email_fld = document.getElementById('sbmgOptinValidateForm819' + '_' + email); var reg = /^([A-Za-z0-9_\-\.])+\@([A-Za-z0-9_\-\.])+\.([A-Za-z]{2,4})$/; var msg = ''; if ( name_fld.value == '' ) msg = '- Name Required\n'; if ( reg.test(email_fld.value) == false ) msg += '- Valid Email Required'; if ( msg == '' ) return true; else alert(msg); return false; }

So when we say a handful normally we mean around 5 to 10 pages. We add more than one affiliate link on a review page - usually from 4 to 8 links. And I don't know what an OBL is so can't answer those questions. function sbmgOptinValidateForm655(name,email) { var name_fld = document.getElementById('sbmgOptinValidateForm655' + '_' + name); var email_fld = document.getElementById('sbmgOptinValidateForm655' + '_' + email); var reg = /^([A-Za-z0-9_\-\.])+\@([A-Za-z0-9_\-\.])+\.([A-Za-z]{2,4})$/; var msg = ''; if ( name_fld.value == '' ) msg = '- Name Required\n'; if ( reg.test(email_fld.value) == false ) msg += '- Valid Email Required'; if ( msg == '' ) return true; else alert(msg); return false; }

You actually only need one page to make a full time income but we like to diversify a bit – putting all your eggs in the one basket isn’t really a good thing.

And I don’t know what an OBL is so can’t answer those questions.

How many OBL do you add if any? Do you just add one affiliate link? When I am writing on websites, I tend to only put any links on the first page, affiliate on first par, and OBL towards the bottom. Sometimes I add one or 2 OBL in the other pages. But since readers don't generally stay that long I don't invest the time. Thoughts? function sbmgOptinValidateForm987(name,email) { var name_fld = document.getElementById('sbmgOptinValidateForm987' + '_' + name); var email_fld = document.getElementById('sbmgOptinValidateForm987' + '_' + email); var reg = /^([A-Za-z0-9_\-\.])+\@([A-Za-z0-9_\-\.])+\.([A-Za-z]{2,4})$/; var msg = ''; if ( name_fld.value == '' ) msg = '- Name Required\n'; if ( reg.test(email_fld.value) == false ) msg += '- Valid Email Required'; if ( msg == '' ) return true; else alert(msg); return false; }
