David Fiske A subtle blend of affiliate marketing and web development

In typical 'me' style, I have done a U-turn on moving the price comparison over to Compare Sat Nav. The reason is that I need to upgrade the hosting as I previously stated. I thought I wouldn't have to but I do :-(

So instead, I am going to leave it as it is. It works well at the moment, and now has on average 58 visitors per day.

The saying "why fix it if it 'aint broken?" is very true here. It would be a wasted effort.

 
As for the other sites, the real estate website is on hold at the moment whilst I concentrate on the computer one first.

I need to add about a dozen articles before I apply to affiliate programs. I have a few programs in mind (PC manufacturers and retailers) as well as the obligatory Amazon affiliate program!

Potential revenue from the computer site could be around £50 per sale due a high basket value, so this is the site where all the Web Copy reading gets put into practise! Incidentally, I have finished that book and am two thirds the way through the SEO book. I also have the revenue streams book to read cover to cover (I have read lots of it but in a haphazard fashion so I need to now read it all the way through).

The Web Copy book is certainly the best one so far. It looks at psychological factors of web copy and the words and phrases that should be used to sell. It also looks at email newsletters and how they should be used to encourage repeat visitors.

The rest of today will be spent developing the computer site plus adding articles to it.
