Hi Affletic
Have just been over and had a look through the Link Wheel site and yes you are right not a bad concept at all. If you had a product site or really need to lift your affiliate site in the SERPS and have very little time to do the SEO and Link building this would be a good solution and it is not over priced for the content and services you receive.

I think the biggest thing that helps people to be successful in blogging is to find a subject that they genuinely enjoy talking about and just to make sure that they actually post very often actual content that helps the visitor. If you post content that is solid often Google will eventually start to give your blog authority and you will aso start to increase the amount of visitors.
Hi Jonathan and welcome to Affiliate X Files…
You are spot on with your conclusion you need to have a blog that is focused and it really does help if you are passionate about the subject as well. Overtime if you continue you will find that if other sites start to link to your content you could very well end up being an authority in your niche.
Posting at least three times a week is one way to get noticed fast by the search engines and if you are passionate about your selected topic that should not be to difficult.
Thanks for dropping by…

Hi Trent
Yes back links are the powerhouse to get indexed fast from the search engines especially if you are getting one way back links from the content you write on your blog the search engines really seem to like that. As for making money with your blog there are so many options it is hard to list them all. But what I will say is this, to get the best results possible you need to be constantly testing and retesting to find what will give you the best returns for your efforts.
Many people are under the impression that this is a set and forget exercise which is the wrong way to look at it. Your internet market can change in an instant and you need to always be prepared for that, so you can stay ahead of the game.
I have used Wordpress for some of my blogs and I absolutely love Wordpress. It is easy to use and the Wp plugins that you can download are pretty amazing. Two WP plugins that you have to have are Google XML Sitemaps, and All in one SEO. Thank you for all the tips Affiliate X.

I think most people who have a blog on the back end of their site forget to build links to it. By building quality content you also need quality links to the actual blog, otherwise you lose some of the power associated with the blog. By building links to your blog also, will help your entire site to rank better.F8R
Hi Susan and Welcome
Yes you are spot on with what you are saying they believe the blog will just naturally get links because of what it is. However if they do spend the time to get just a few one way backlinks from relevant sites pointing to there blog then they will see a very big difference in there results.
You should also make sure that you not only have a link from every page of your site to your home page but also to your blog and make sure diversify the links through out your site for your prime keywords that you want you site and also your blog to rank well for.
Another mistake webmasters make with their blogs is only pointing links to their home page. In actual fact if you use the link structure I just mentioned above and get links to your internal pages you will see even better results. As an example on this site for even 10 one way links we point at internal pages we do one to the home page. That way we are passing page rank up and not relying solely on the home page to get us indexed.
