Many companies who are starting out notice Google has yet to assign a PageRank to their website. Usually this is identified by a PR0. While this rank could also be the result of SPAMdexing, it’s more likely that you’re waiting for Google to rank you. If you have a significant number of back links in the Google search results, but no PageRank–there is a very good chance that you actually do have a PageRank, but it just hasn’t been published by Google’s PR servers yet. There is a 2-3 month delay, according to representatives at Google, before your PR is made public.

by A.J. McClary on 29. Dec, 2008 in Internet Marketing

I have this conversion about once a week with new clients and most find this topic both fascinating and frightening at the same time–so I felt this is the perfect venue to talk about Google Insurance and why every company can’t afford to be without it.

My “Formula” to Getting Traffic
by A.J. McClary on 17. Jan, 2008 in Internet Marketing, Web Design
I’m an Internet Marketer by trade. It is my full-time career to make websites look good and make money for people. The problem that I constantly see, however, is that a lot of my clients simply don’t understand everything involved with making a website marketable. Some think that it’s your web design that makes you marketable, with the “if you build it, they will come” mentality. Some are more concerned about simply having a website with a contact page, with the “if I have a website, everyone will find me and contact me instantly” mentality. The truth is, it takes a lot of work to a get a website together that is marketable and achieving the conversions you’re looking for. Here is my formula. I can’t guarantee it will work for every business, but it certainly works for me. (more…)
How to Mask Your Affiliate Links
by A.J. McClary on 07. Jan, 2008 in Web Design
Masking affiliate links is very important, and in this lesson, I’m going to show you how to do it with ease. A lot of affiliates do not mask their affiliate links and they’re loosing money because of lost traffic because of it. Here are a few reasons why they need to be hidden:
- Google can recognize an affiliate link when they see one. It’s a simple algorithm really, if Google crawls a hyper link that forwards to another hyper link, it can easily assume that the link is an affiliate link and it will either lower your Quality Score (if promoting through Google AdWords) or lower your PageRank (if promoting through SEO).

- If you’re promoting your website through e-mail marketing, SPAM filters are getting smarter every day and if one affiliate screws up, it ruins it for everyone trying to use similar hyper links from the same domain.
