These are two great ways to speed up your blog. Remember, the faster your site loads, the less likely new visitors to your site will hit the “back” button.

1) Install the wordpress super-cache plugin

This helps to create static html cache pages for your site.

2) Change some of the references to the database in your wordpress theme header file to static text. If you won’t be changing any of your site’s settings, then it really shouldn’t matter.

For example, you can change

• change your stylesheet URL
• change your pingback URL
• change your feed URL
• remove the blog’s WordPress version
• change your blog’s name and description

These changes can speed up the loading of your theme significantly.

3) The same thing can be done for your footer file.

• Your blog’s name
• RSS feed URL
• Comment RSS feed URL

I made some of these changes on my heavy traffic sites and the difference is significant. :)

When you are doing affiliate marketing, at some point in time you will definitely need to start your own website. This poses certain challenges to some people. How do I build my own website? I have neither the technical skills nor the money to pay people to do it for me. And learning a whole new thing certainly looks daunting to me.

Now, before I show you a couple of ways you can do it easily, let me reassure you that nobody is born knowing how to build a website! Everyone who does it now started from zero and has picked it up along the way. That goes for me as well.

Here are three ways that you can get started on your own website:

One strategy that is used by many successful affiliate marketers is to build a website centered around a theme or niche. By driving traffic to their own site first, they remain in control of the monetisation part which can come later.

The advantage of this method is that you are able to build equity in your business. If your campaigns are all focused on sending whatever traffic you generate directly to the merchant’s website, you are at the mercy of many factors (and changes) which are beyond your control.
