If you are into SEO or Search Engine Optimization (optimizing your website to rank high in the search engine’s result page) then you know the importance of obtaining links from other web properties (especially true for Google).

Beside all the web 2.0 properties (social bookmarks, social networks, etc.) there are many webmasters who run WPMU, or Wordpress MU websites. WPMU sites allow users to create their own blog with their own unique web address. This presents an excellent opportunity for Search Engine Optimists to go out and seek for these WPMU sites, create a free blog, and start posting content with a link back to their websites.

Currently, my brother (who is an excellent programmer, by the way) is putting in the finishing touch for an automated submission tool that will help you submit content to your WPMU blog accounts. He had 280 WPMU accounts created, and is now using his own submission tool to post articles (with link back to his site) to his blog accounts. It is a HUGE time saver to have the software post articles to 280 blog accounts, and he is seeing amazing rankings.

Would you be interested in such software tool if he should decide to make it publicly available? If so, please put in your name, email, and a suggested price for this software and I’ll let you know when it becomes available (ETA end of March 2008).

It’s about time that Clickbank implement the recurring billing! Now that they have opened this up, I can only imagine it’s marketplace getting flooded with membership/subscription based sites.

This should be exciting news to affiliate marketers who are looking to promote for a program that will pay commission for the lifetime of a subscriber, something I’d advocate over products that only pay you a one-time commission.

To read more about Clickbank’s recurring billing, you can login to your Clickbank account and there should be a big button graphic on the upper right hand corner.
