I hired out a couple different graphic designers to create a bunch of new affiliate banners.
Here is a preview of one I just had designed. I had this made in a bunch of different sizes...
I'm buying high-end stock images with really attractive men and women. They will all be stylish.

And Yavor of "Relative Strength Advantage" created a new men's banner that looks cool and has the same feel as the woman's banner above. Here it is.

Thanks So much for such an awesome review of the course Rusty, I am psyched to be a top affiliate for your product as it is one I highly believe in…
If anyone has questions about my system feel free to shoot me a comment and I will gladly answer your questions.
Thanks for the review Rusty.
Ryan I first saw you with your fitness guru head to head interviews and have since seen you everywhere.
I do have a question. I am building a list and like to sell from my list. Can you use your method to build a list.
Congrats on your success.
Thanks A lot, ATltrainer. Yes you can build a list with this method although I had better success with list building from by email ads and doing list swaps with other list owners that have the same size lists.
I pretty much just always go for the sale at first
Pretty cool Ryan.
You ever gotten your sites slapped by Google? I had a site that I worked on for the past year that the Panda just devoured… lost my page 1 rankings for all of my keywords. Not too bummed out, it’s just part of the game.
I’m going to create new mini-blogs with the content I used on my main (Pandalyzed) blog with exact match domains.
Is that a good idea?
Thanks,
Raza
@rimami I havent had any mine get slapped(knock on wood) but the best advice I can give is just keep building more…
Like my course is “Affiliate Blog Empire” the goal is to have so many sites working for you if one drops off its no big deal.
But I do my best to write all unique content and give google what it wants, that method has served me well
Cool stuff Ryan. But just wondering, when you launch a new site, how long does it take before you make consistent sales with it?
I know it varies from site to site, but just on average?
Thanks
Keith
Thank you for this. I’ll check this now.

Nice review Rusty.
Ryan – congrats on your success my man. It has been great to follow your progress and you are an affiliate marketing ninja. You have been busting ass and taking massive action and I am glad that is paying off.
Keep at it man,
Kyle Battis

@fitness2239 it really depends on the keyword I am targetting, I honestly build a blog with the intention of only making one sale per month…
But I also have a goal to have 1,000 blogs making me 1 sale a month, with tthe average sale of 31 bux it adds up fast
@Kyle thanks for the comment bro I appreciate it…
@Rick your the man glad I have gotte to know you a little
Hi Ryan,
Thanks for putting together this course and thanks to Rusty for bringing it to my attention. Back in 2009-2010 I used to be big into creating little 1-3 page sites promoting cpa products. I was up to about $3k-$4k/month in income, but then things seemed to change and I was having big issues getting those sites to rank highly.
CPA products weren’t the best either as I was constantly putting up new sites just to replace the offers that would go away. Just wondering what types of products you are targeting. Is it your goal to get these sites ranked #1? How much of your linkbuilding strategy do you show and is there a maintenance routine once you’ve achieved the rankings? I also noticed in the vid that you have a launch sniper type strategy. That’s not really my thing, but how competitive are the keywords/products that you typically go after?
Ok, that’s enough questions. Sorry to bombard you. Just a bit excited:)
Mike
PS – Ryan – how can we get your course???
By the way Ryan, I still do have a few little affiliate blogs that make around $30/day. These are currently ranked #1 for their product name keywords. Do you have any strategies for increasing clickthrus and conversions from these blogs? Thanks again.
Mike
I’ve just read all your articles in the ‘start here’ section, and found them very informative. I wonder if you could just answer one question please? You say you must have a .com domain for your main site. I have a .net (as I couldn’t get the .com for that name). Will this do the job or should I start over with a completely different name? Thanks. (Hope you don’t mind me asking this here, but I got no reply from posting it on the relevant post; you probably don’t look at comments on old posts now).
@mbomb I go after all kinds of keywords and product names, I don’t worry to much about the competition its more how much work I am willing to do and if I can get a good domain name…
I personally dont do a whole lot with the cpa networks for the exact reason you stated they dissapear, plus I dont believe in the value of a cpa, I just think they are all scammy shit.
I go thru all your questions in my case studies inside the affiliate blog empire course.
@kyle you will be able to buy it in a few days, you get another juicy 20 minute content video very soon.
Their a small amount of maitence involved after the sites are ranked, I dont worry too much about being #1 for everyterm its more I want to be top 5 for 1,000 terms
I watched your video and saw that putting your face on your site, doing an honest review, creating an intriguing title tag, etc.
I think traffic is one thing, but actually converting is another story altogether. It seems like people want real reviews from real people… and it seems like you hit those psychological triggers. Conversion is always tricky, but I like to look at it like meeting a girl. You gotta build trust and create intrigue.
Raza
@ DavidW,
Sorry about not getting to your question the first time. I must have missed it. Having a .NET is fine. I like the .com for branding purposes, but you can do fine with a .NET
@Ryan,
Thanks for answering everyone’s questions. Some great tips just in the comments area! I watched that Peter Parks video series again last night as well. With your site building methods and Peter’s targeted traffic SEO mini-web…people are really going to crush it when they follow your course.
-Rusty
I have a question in relation to conversions.. I’ve had over 300 hops but 0 conversions. Is there anything you can talk about that or give some insights?
@ralphk The best advice i can give you is just send more traffic. As Rusty will tell you most people lie about their conversion rates to get more people to promote.
I average 1 sale for every 700 hops for most affiliat eproducts
Really?? Wow..
Well I had other products (different market) which had 4 sales with 50 hops.. Perhaps I was used to that figure then
Thanks Ryan,
I’ll just have to build more traffic / sites.
Some are obviously better the more laser targeted you go with the blog but just answer the question they type into google and give them a solution AKA – the affiliate product you are promoting
Good stuff Ryan, and thanks Rusty for sharing that with us
I haven’t gone to your site yet cos I’m on my cell phone, but how much maintenance is required on building so many sites? SEO wise and content wise? It just sounds like so much work? Why not just use one domain? Why is your strategy based on doing so many sites? Do u think exact name domains will lose their effectiveness soon?
Rusty:
Ryan’s strategy sounds very much like the satellite site you were talking about .
In earlier post, I asked you about these sites but I think you may over look it…
anyway, do you build links to your “satellite sites”?
Thanks
@kenny with anything their is a small amount of plate spinning work involved, I usually check my rankings every week I keep track of my top sales blogs etc…
Of course it is work, but I am so effective at making a blog start to finish it only takes me 45 minutes. I only work at best 10 hours a week on these sites and build like 2-5 a week at my leisure.
I dont want to have just 1 domain for the fact each site i own and have ranked is a sellable asset(virtual real estate)
@cylia yes you have to build links t these blogs, but when done the way I say in my system you will rank on page one, you would be suprised how little it takes to get a solid page 1 ranking when you use my system.
Thanks Ryan!
I would also love to hear Rusty’s approach on his original satelite sites!
Am looking forward to this as I’ve set myself a goal of building 20 niche sites by Christmas (probably Amazon focused)… this will be useful! Have to say I really like the honesty around 1 sale per 700 hops and even just aiming for a sale per month. I think many ppl are guilty of aiming unrealistically high.
Thanks Ryan,
I’ve actually switched my focus to authority sites(which is what I’m doing here:), but I still like to put up snipers here and there. One thing that has me a bit paranoid, since I had a good number of “thin” sites on the same hosting and analytics accounts de-indexed back in January, is the chance of having the same thing happen again. Do you go over setting these up in such a way as to eliminate, or at least minimize your footprint should some sniper hater decide to zap your entire network?
I know the logic is that if you’re doing everything above board then this shouldn’t be an issue, but my network of sites(both quality and “thin” sites) were zapped indiscriminately. Only my authority-type sites survived.
Mike
@mbomb i use seo hosting and have 5 class c ips
@alan thats a good goal I myself did a 30 day challenge and built 23 blogs in 30 days
Hey Ryan!
Very interesting! I’ll be honest I have bought a few of these type of products before (Obviously it’s not out yet but I’m making an educated guess) about building micro-blogs with unique content, seo etc..I own a few micro blogs myself actually.
I just always find searching for keywords SO laborious in most of the popular niches, even with a tool like Market Samurai (when it was popular, don’t know if it still is) I found they just rarely fit with the criteria the course gave me to go ahead and use the keyword.
How long does it normally take you to find these keywords that you use? Do you offer a clear-cut method of finding these keywords in the course?
Also finally, I’m assuming you outsource your SEO..How much does it normally cost you to get each blog up, running and optimised? (sorry if i’m wrong in my assumptions lol)
Best wishes
Altug
Hey Ryan awesome little review site, great job on building revenue streams. I have tons of questions but in due time. Do you use anything like SEO Pressor or Clickbump SEO for your on-page SEO stuff? Lots of crap out there and getting caught up in the “shiny object syndrome” is easy to do lol).
I did want to give you an heads up on your site though. You may want to revise your site for these two words I saw.
I can actually say from (***personnal***) experience this fiber type is real and (***i***) creates a harder, denser, and leaner version of the person using the program.
Sorry I have an uncanny knack of proof-reading everything others miss. This could get you a few more sales
…No charge. Peace
@altug I do not own market samurai and with keywor research their reallly isnt anything I do that is fancy, I just try to find a different perspective when it comes to building blogs…
for example eevryone knows about celebrity workouts, but no one realizes how small this is, think celebrity breakups and sell dating products, think celebrity outfits for certain events and sell fashion products/diet stuff, etc…
I basicallt do most of my seo off of fiverr.com and i cant give you the specifics due to that is a integral part of my course…
I do use a software that is very effective which I dont talk about in my course due to I havent tested it out fully yet.
Ryan,
You got to really highlight that “Cheat Sheet” you give away.
It is golden.
Rick Kaselj
Also guys if you dont mind I would love to have you leave a comment on the page under the video if you could, That would be awesome
hey Ryan, product looks sweet. I have success doing similar sites to yours. My question is have you made any of the funnel pyramids that Peter Parks teaches for your sites? Have you had any successes with those? That would be my main reason for getting the course. Thanks.
Do you focus on long-tail keywords at all or do you focus on one main keyword and focus all content and link building toward that?
I know there’s a lot of traffic in the long-tail, but I find it hard to create lots of content for so many keywords.
Raza
@jaybees I have started the Peter PArks Stuff on one of my more profitable niche blogs Peter just gave me access to his stuff only about a month ago so I have only scratched the surface of it in one of my niches…
I have raised the particular site to about 50-75 visitors a day…
Hope that helps you, when me and Peter discussed my bizness and he gave me that content he also said lets make the product together lol
@riman i like to keep them laser focused
@ralphk,
I’ve probably promoted 5-10 fitness products hard over the past 4 years. Like Ryan, I get closer to one sale every 600-700 hops or so for the majority of the fitness products I promote.
…but I recommend products multiple times to my visitors.
If I just sent out an email promo to my buyers list, or paid for advertising on Google Adwords where I was bidding on an exact product name…then that is where a 1-2% conversion will happen.
You can also get 2%+ conversions if you weed out uninterested traffic…by having a multi-step funnel in place.
…and just to give you an idea of the amount of hops I send monthly to other vendors. It is rarely below 100,000 hops per month (when I was only doing aff marketing it was 200,000 hops per month). That won’t happen over night, but push hard over a 3-4 year period and you will hit those numbers as well.
@cylai,
You definitely need to build links to these satellite sites, but you can keep it really simple. Go over to fiverr -or- submit jusr one spin article to 1WL and drip one per day to the network.
@Alan Sawyer,
It is a bummer that people push the whole 2% conversion rate thing so hard. My advice is to work your butt off sending as many qualified hops as possible to the programs you believe in. I think I was pushing 200,000 hops per month as an affiliate when I was able to leave my job. These days, I get about 1/2 of that much…since I’m focusing a bit more on my own stuff.
You will certainly have 2-3% conversions on some ways of selling…like preselling to a list…but the hops in that case won’t be as high.

Hi Rusty,
Thanks for the heads up.
I’ve been banned from Adwords (don’t know why but no point in arguing with Google)
My source of traffic is currently Facebook Fans.. but not sure if they are actually willing to pay for stuff. But only one way to find out.
@ralphk,
My business close to doubled just a couple months after starting my FB Fan Page. It certainly wasn’t just because of the Fan Page…but I know it played a part. I don’t sell on the Fan Page directly. Get people to opt-in to a free report and sell through email.
-Rusty
Hi Rusty, this probably isn’t the right post for this unrelated comment, but it notified me of your post, so I thought I’d ask you a question:)
Has your traffic, sales, or business in general been affected by the latest Panda update in mid-October? If not, what do you attribute to your solid ranking.
I’m still looking to get started on my fitness blog, but I have a few sites in another niche(about 30 pages each) that took at hit in October. Traffic levels about 30% of what they were. I have still rank well for my main keywords, but most of my long-tail traffic seems to have dropped off.
Mike
Rusty,
Just curious, how do you track your hops? Any special way besides analytics?
Hi Rusty and Ryan.
What kind of software do you use to create screen capture videos with webcam output at the same time?
@Mike,
Fitness Black Book hasn’t dropped a bit. I think it helps to build a long term site that gets traffic from so many sources.
@Jimmy,
I track my hops in clickbank only. As a vendor I compare sales in clickbank to unique visits in Google Analytics. What I need to do is set this up so it does this automatically. Right now I log in the CB and GA and do it manually.
@Antoniello,
I’m not sure, but I think all Macs have this. I don’t do this, so I’ll ask Ryan next time I chat with him.

Hi Rusty
I have a question for both you and Ryan – I think the comparison will be interesting.
How much traffic leads to how much income? For instance, from your screenshot, I think you were making 10k per month when you got 300k visitors? So 10,000 visitors each day leads to around $300 per day for you?
I’m asking because I’m getting waay less than this. I get about 500 visitors to my new blog each day and make around $5 – $10 daily from adsense. I still have to add affiliate products to promote, create a list, etc. I need to do the math and see whether I should stick to Adsense only, or try to promote affiliate products.
I’d really appreciate hearing from you about this
Update: I noticed in one of your earlier posts you said that 100 visitors per day should equal $100 per month – so by those standards I’m making about 1/3 of what I should be…
Hey Tash,
I found that the relationship between your monthly sales and visitors depends on a lot of factors. This includes the quality of your content, site design and also the quality of visitors.
The content needs to be valuable so that it builds trust with your visitors, this way they will trust your recommendations as well.
The quality of your visitors can depend on which keyword they searched for and also the ranking of your website on google. Some keywords don’t convert at all for me, while others convert at a very high rate.
