I'm wondering if I can get some eyeballs on my site? Let me know if I'm doing okay so far. It's my second affiliate marketing attempt. I'm targeting "battery trickle charger".

http://autobatterytricklecharger.net/

I'm planning on putting Amazon affiliate stores on it when I get ranked.

    Don't wait to get ranked by Google before you start monetizing your site. If you have an adsense account, it can help you with your rankings because Google will ping your site. Just get started and stay in motion.

    You're on the right track....

    I would look for a Wordpress template that isn't as busy and reconsider using Google Adsense.

    Your #1 goal is to get visitors to Amazon to buy stuff. Sure you'll make money with Adsense, but how much are you going to make? 5 cents a click? 25 cents a click?

    If they click on your affiliate link and buys a auto battery charger, they can also turn around and buy a BMX bike for their son, a mobile phone for their brother, etc... This means more commissions for you.

    Most of the time you'll find that people buy very random stuff instead of buying what your affiliate link brought them too.

    One last thing, go for higher ticket items to promote too. Just imagine what the commission would be if you sold a $2,000 Mac Book Pro.

    Woohoo! This is my 500th post!

      Thanks for taking a look.

      I'm kinda stuck with free wp themes at least until for the next month or two, I'll see if I can't remove the header image, that might help.

        Start by using a fixed width for the site (change this in the theme options under "Style and configure layout"). I usually use a width of between 950px and 1000px.

        Once you've set the width - take a look under "header image" at the "header image height" field. Here you can set the height of your header image.

        Now you know the width and height, you can design your own header image. You will need to use ftp software to ftp this to wp-content/themes/atahualpa/images/header. Remove the three existing pictures you find there.

        Don't be afraid to experiment with the theme options - you can make Atahualpa look like almost any theme you will find. It just takes a bit of practice.
