Article Bot, Search Engines and Affiliate Promotions

Author: John R. Barker

When my Adsense earnings hit near $2000 last January, I knew two things: First, I liked making money that way and I really wanted to make more. And second, it wasn't going to last using the methods I was using.

The majority of my Adsense earnings were coming from six web sites I built using Traffic Equalizer . Four of those sites are still in Google's index and receiving traffic, though nowhere near what they were at the peak of it all.

I believe page generator sites get removed from the search indexes for just one reason: competition reports them. And for that reason alone, the two sites that were removed were also the two sites that were making the most money - in some of the most competitive markets.

Learning lessons along the way, I've developed my own system for building page generator sites that don't suck. It's a combination of utilizing the page generator for creating a moderate number of pages that are highly optimized for phrases that others are not taking the time to optimize for. And providing useful content that will please most visitors, even if the page isn't an exact match for the search phrase.

Although I still use Traffic Equalizer on occassion, my primary tool of choice is Article Bot . There are many misconceptions about what this program is and what it does. I can up it up with one word: Article Bot is brilliant.

It's far more than an aricle re-writer and text scraper. And because of that it requires greater thought and planning than the page generators you might be accustomed to. Traffic Equalizer is to Article Bot what learning to ride a bike is to learning fly a jet.

Article Bot can also take a relational database and create unique pages utilizing related sets of data. I'm simple terms, it allows regular guys like me to create a database driven site without knowing anything about databases.

You can use Article Bot to write pages about anything that would have similar traits. I'm experimenting with creating affiliate sites using merchant data feeds. Although other software allows you to create pages using data feeds, they all read identical to each other which means little to no chance with the search engines. Not so with Article Bot.

Here's a data feed example using 'shoes':

Brand Name | Type of Shoe | Discount Price | Retail Price Clark's ...| dress shoes .| $89 ...........| $119 Sperry ....| boat shoes ..| $69 ...........| $89

And produce something that reads like this (I'll capitalize the data feed variable - but actually EVERYTHING is variable)

----------------------

No wardrobe is complete without a good pair of DRESS SHOES. When I was twenty-two I put on my first pair of CLARK'S and I have had a pair in my closet since.

Right now, you can get a pair of CLARK'S finest at shoes.com for just $89 - that's a big savings off the retail price of $119.

----------------------- Using AB, you could 'spin' a new page and come up with the next product promotion reading . . . -----------------------

A complete wardrobe includes a classic pair of BOAT SHOES. One of the most trusted names in the business is SPERRY and I know a lot of guys who love them.

Last I checked, this pair of SPERRY BOAT SHOES at shoes.com are priced for just $69 - a nice discount off the retail price of $89.

------------------------

You can create some very nice, customized pages that don't look - or read - like all of the other data feed sites out there. And, given that no scraping is being done on these pages, they offer fresh, valuable content that should not get you penalized by the search engines - or reported and de-indexed by competitors. And besides that, you aren't reliant on Adsense Income - you now stand a chance to actually sell something!

I encourage you to take a closer look at Article Bot by reading the good - and the bad - of the program. You should know the downsides too.

Article Bot is not for everyone, and I'll tell you why . . .
