Marketing tools are great but when they are used to fool the search engines, they generally don’t pay off in the long run. The Uniquefier plugin adds code to your blog posts that fool the search engines into believing that your scraped content is unique content. You need to understand how it works to understand how it can hurt you in the long run.

When we first started coding web sites (way back in the 90’s), it was necessary to use special codes called ASCII to display some of the less used characters on the keyboard such as apostrophes, quotes, etc. As browsers became more sophisticated, this coding became unnecessary. However, the new browsers are also able to continue reading this code in case you should encounter an older website that uses it. For a complete list of these codes you can go to:

Uniquefier works by adding ASCII codes to your blog posts that are unnecessary but that can be read by the browser and display the same text to the human eye. The coding only fools the search engine into believing that the post is unique.

If you use Copyscape to check your pages for uniqueness, you can easily see that Copyscape sees them as unique once the plugin is activated. So what’s the catch?

Uniquefier is on its third version as of this writing. The reason the developers keep releasing new versions is not to improve the plugin so much as to change the way it works because it becomes non-functional very quickly. That’s because it is a very simple search and replace function that you could perform manually in a program like Word if you wanted to. This causes it to leave a very traceable footprint.

In the Version 2 video on the sales page, you can see that they were using a code for a “soft hyphen” throughout the page. This code (­) was being embedded hundreds of times on each page.  So, it was an easy one to spot and flag by Copyscape and the search engines.

In the new Version 3, they are searching and replacing bullets, quotes, apostrophes, ellipsis and other similar punctuation with the ASCII codes. These codes can be seen in the bottom box of the link above to the ASCII code web site.

As Copyscape and the search engines realize what is happening, they will de-index the sites using the plugin and could decide to ban them as well.

So, now that you understand this plugin, use it with extreme caution. You have to ask yourself if “cheating” the system is really worth it in the long run. Remember, it’s only a matter of time before it stops working and eventually, the developers will run out of codes to use.

I personally believe this plugin is not worth the risk. In fact, I think these guys are just out for a run for the money. A good programmer would have taken the time to create a program that would work much better than this.

internet marketing is the process of advertising or selling products and services over the World Wide Web. It could also entail the strategic placement of media along the different levels of customer engagement. Also known as online marketing or web marketing, the whole process also involves several activities such as search engine marketing, marketing through email, search engine optimization, and the placement of banner ads on certain websites.

Why is it Effective?

Online marketing is very effective because if done properly, it allows internet marketers the opportunity to relay their message to a wider market, global if you may, without having to empty their bank accounts. What’s better is, no matter how many million people read or view the ads, the medium allows a more personalized experience for every Internet user.

For instance, online advertisements shown are usually based on the search keywords typed in by a user, say in Google.com. This gives the ads a stronger appeal because they are targeted to those who are most interested in them. Internet marketers should keep this in mind when coming up with a general framework for their online marketing strategy.

Internet marketing is also effective because it is flexible and easily measurable. Internet marketers have the option to employ a combination of two or more online marketing strategies and shift to other models every now and then to find out which is most effective for their campaign. The results of online marketing initiatives can be easily mapped and tracked, an advantage not seen in traditional forms of marketing.

Home based business with affiliate programs is possible and there are thousands of affiliates making up to $10,000 each month from affiliate programs. There are also a few affiliates who generate up to million dollars per year only from home based business. Some will tell you that affiliate programs do not work, it’s their way to say “I don’t want to work in the affiliate marketing business, or I cannot do so”, either way it’s you who determine if affiliate marketing can work for you or not.

Here are some affiliate marketing tips that could help you understand the process better and effectively make money with affiliate marketing.

1. Having your own content pages on the web, it can be your own website and it will be the better choice, or you can build content pages on other websites like social networks (siqudoo, hubpages and stamblupon) but it’s very important to write your own content as reviews and information about the affiliate products.

2. Writing and distributing articles, this way you establish your own identity on the internet, and people can find out how expert you are. With article marketing you can generate traffic to your website or web pages and you can increase your webpage popularity. In either way using your links in the articles and in the resource box of the articles must be natural and you must invite your reader to click on your links to have more useful information from you.

3. Choose the best affiliate programs in your niche market, if you are willing to put effort promoting affiliate products, it will be easier and more profitable for you to promote the best affiliate products read the Best Affiliate Program report to have an idea of how to choose the best affiliate programs to work with.

4. Use pay per click marketing to generate traffic to your review site, with some products you can directly send traffic to your affiliate links from PPC search engines but it’s also recommended to send the traffic first to your review pages to help your customers make up their mind about your products.

5. In most cases people love to compare products and compare its features before purchasing, you can do so for them in your page and buy giving them more products and information about those products and compare a few products and point out the best product. And by best products I mean the best for your customers not your bucket.

6. One huge mistake affiliates make is trying to hide, they don’t want their visitors to know that they are affiliates and they earn commission from the products. People do not care if you are earning a commission or not, they know that they will pay the same price for the product no matter how they got there, even if they went directly to owners website they still have to pay the same price. But people care if you are trying to help them or help yourself; so think about helping your customers and the money will come.

7. Learn home business marketing, knowledge separate us in the affiliate marketing business and any other online business. To be successful you need to learn, the best example is the Arabian-affiliate, when he decided to join the affiliate and network marketing business, he started learning the English language first then he learned everything about internet marketing, I know him personally and I know he spent thousands of dollars in the process, and he told me once “investing in education is investing in myself, and it’s the best investment you can make”. And he is now one of the most successful affiliates on the net, and he now has his own team working for him.

So invest in your knowledge, learn everything about your business and be updated of every new technology on the internet. Signing up for newsletters can help you get some of the information. Read this Home business marketing Report and all the other report on the Arabian-affiliate website.

8. Build a relationship with some successful affiliates, get to know them and contact them, most of them hate being contacted by phones but you can use the e-mail to contact them, you will be amazed of how they can help you, however they will invite you to join their programs but they can be very helpful. At first when I started working with the Arabian affiliate I thought to myself “he is an idiot” and I am a lot better than him and I know better, but with the time I learned that he knows how to lead, how to think small and get down to the lowest level of knowledge just to grape your hand and take you up step at a time to help you go up and reach a point of success where you can be left alone and be creative.

9. Another tip I learned from him is: to be a salesman you can duplicate, you can learn exactly what other affiliates are doing like him and thousands of other affiliate; but to be a supper affiliate you need to think deferent, you need to separate yourself from others by being creative, and develop your own ideas and strategies.

10. Use the pen and the paper. Write everything down, your thoughts, ideas and strategies; no matter how small, irrelevant or impossible it can appear to you at first. Some times when you go to sleep you will think of something, write it down before you loss it. And save all of your writing and check it frequently. An idea that you thought of 3 months ago can now make you thousands of dollars, because then it seemed impossible to convert into action but now it’s more than possible and can be easily done.

People have no idea what kind of treasure is hidden in their mind and they have no access to that treasure.

Affiliate marketing is one of the few businesses that could not be affected with the bad economy, it’s true that every business and any individual will be affected from bad economy, but with the time affiliate marketing business proved capability to be the lowest. People will keep buying and keep trading no matter what happens, they can decrease and limit these actions. And buying through the internet had proved to be easier and cheaper.

To be successful in business you need to think as a businessman and treat your business with the respect it requires.

Internet marketers have various tools and methods at their disposal to promote and advertise their businesses to their target markets anywhere in the world. Search engine optimization (SEO) proves to be the most effective internet marketing strategies, as attested to by online marketers.

In a recent online survey conducted by TopRank Online Marketing, 36% of 400 business marketers polled said they will surely focus their Internet marketing campaigns on SEO over the next six months. Blogging emerged second with 33% of the votes while pay per click ranked third with 26%.

These results showed that online marketers are steadily learning the ropes in search engine optimization. As many SEO specialists would say, there is no sure or fixed formula to make sure that your website tops the search engine results page permanently. Keyword research, keyword insertion, the utilization of meta tags, and so on contribute to boosting your page ranking but SEO is as elusive to any beginner as with anyone who is doing it for years.

Perhaps the reason why business marketers put great value to SEO is because it offers a long-time potential for growth unlike with say, PPC ads, wherein your campaigns are given a definite start and end period. Search engines are the most widely used Internet tools around the world so it has the potential to drive bulk of the traffic to websites.

Online tools are readily available to determine which combinations work best and which do not. SEO must be used as part of a far larger social media optimization campaign because the combination of the two has proven to be very powerful.
