Hey Friends,

Before I get into this, I want you to watch the below music video with J-Lo featuring Pitbull and tell me which products do you subtly see.

How many items did you see? I personally caught 3 different products.

Now this is called ‘product placement’ and these companies have essentially purchased ‘spots’ to be in the video to subtly (or blatently) be placed within the video AND the musician using them.

So, how does this make YOU more money?

There are two ways of looking at this..

Think of it this way, they are endorsing these products and if you are in the involved in any of the niches (or related niches) you can bet there will be an increased search volume for these niches.

Now don’t run off and start campains for these niches if you’re not involved with them. But I just want you to realize that there is traffic and product promotions in places you may never have thought of.

After all, the consumer has to think about the product BEFORE they start searching for it. And this is one of the ways, big product companies get thoughts in your brain!

This is Google’s new feature where you can now have a preview of the search results websites prior to clicking any of the links. Yikes! Talk about making a first impression!

Well, since Google has implemented combined search results including videos, they have decided to implement video preview of any video search results.

Here’s what I mean..

I just searched ‘How to fix golf slice’ and here is the result. Within those 4 window panes is a snippet of the video that I have hovered my mouse over. at the top of this video preview is a small volume icon where you can even listen to the video snippet.

As affiliates, how do you think we can take advantage of this opportunity?

A Quick PR Definition..
A pagerank (or PR) is measure of importance according to Google.

But does a high PR ranking matter on your own site?
Unless you’re giving away links on your site, then the answer is no.

For online marketers, PR is only considered when searching for high quality backlinks.  The higher the PR, the better the backlink.

So at the end of the day.. focus on other people’s page rank and not your own.

WordPress themes have always been popular with internet marketers, but this year it has been in very high demand.. why? Because WordPress has become a staple in building mini niche sites because it’s so darn easy to rank high in the search engines.

That being said, internet marketers have been searching for WP themes that make it easy to rank in the search engines AND help with conversions.

So there you have it, my top 3 choices of WordPress themes for 2010 and beyond. Which one is your favorite?

Here is what Amazon says about it:

We’re excited to introduce today a highly available and scalable Domain Name System (DNS) service – Amazon Route 53. It is designed to give developers and businesses a reliable and cost effective way to route end users to Internet applications by translating human readable names like www.example.com into the numeric IP addresses like 192.0.2.1 that computers use to connect to each other. Route 53 effectively connects user requests to infrastructure running in Amazon Web Services (AWS) — such as an Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instance, an Amazon Elastic Load Balancer, or an Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) bucket — and can also be used to route users to infrastructure outside of AWS.

A reliable, cloud-based DNS service has been one of the most requested offerings by our customers. With Route 53, you can create a “hosted zone” to add DNS records for a new domain or transfer DNS records for a domain you currently own. Route 53 is also designed to work well with other AWS offerings, such as AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM). By using AWS IAM with Route 53, you can control who in your organization can make changes to your DNS records. In the future, we plan to add additional integration features such as the ability to automatically tie your Amazon Elastic Load Balancer instances to a DNS name, and the ability to route your customers to the closest EC2 region.

Route 53 is also designed to be fast and simple. It uses a global network of DNS servers to respond to end users with low latency and has an easy-to-use, self-service API. There are no long-term contracts or minimum usage commitments for using Route 53 – you pay $1.00 per month for the hosted zones you manage, $0.50 per million queries for the first billion queries, and $0.25 per million queries above a billion. To learn more about Amazon Route 53 visit the Amazon Route 53 detail page or the Getting Started Guide.

We took a quick look at the setup guide and it is certainly not recommended for a beginner as there are some heavy technical verbage where you can get lost easily. Simply hire a code guru and they will be able to set this up for you.

Also important to note is that this service is still in beta so, it’s recommended you merely play with a unused domain prior to switching everything over from your live sites.

The purpose of this blog is to offer you news, tools, training and advice on all aspects of online marketing.
