Hello Guys,
Time for another SEO roundup! How is the SEO going this week? There have been reports of a few affiliates seeing terrible drops and even rumours that Google were directly targeting affiliate marketing websites.
I’ll lay this to rest right now, it’s simply not true. There has been activity over the last few weeks but it’s been across the board and in retrospect, most of it is no worse than it usually is. (more…)

I thought with my first post I would share a helpful site with you. The site is Ranks and is designed to help you get the most from your site and to get you natural rankings in the SERPS. It focuses on keyword density, link validator, screen resolution checker and more. For now I am going to concentrate on these three.
I would recommend that you check all the tools and test your site with them to see what results it shows. There are other sites that offer similar tools but I think that Ranks.nl is a good choice for affiliates.

This is part four of the “Q & A”, initially called “MoreNiche history”. I changed it’s name because I got a little carried away with the questions and I realized this text had nothing to do with the history of MoreNiche anymore.
Recession, depression and online casinos getting banned in the US. The business world occasionally gets a little bloodbath. In this week’s “Q & A” we explore how MoreNiche keeps afloat when the recession tide is high, the MoreNiche business model and further investigate the MoreNiche promise. (more…)

In the second half of 2005 MoreNiche started the rebranding process, at the time MoreNiche and the internal products where within an old limited company (Total WebWorks LTD).
Andy and Darren decided Total WebWorks was the not the right brand name to take us forward as a company, they felt better brand recognition would help from a company point of view for example recruitment and from a customer support standpoint.
In the following two years (2005-2007) MoreNiche experienced a massive growth and the affiliates could notice this because of repetead purchases and refund and chargeback rates were down. (more…)

After finding out how it all got started, it’s time to dig a little deeper to see how MoreNiche came to be what it is today.
In April 2006 MensNiche became MoreNiche as it started to branch out into non-men’s related products. MensNiche had a strong reputation in the adult marketing world but MoreNiche was destined to become… well, more! A brand which could also market in the mainstream arena.
It was time for high commissions and flawless support to become more than affiliate program features, they were becoming company values. (more…)

I was reading around the forum and found a thread in which Andy was having a very introspective moment and asking himself “Why am I a muppet?”. Then he went on to explain how he lost a flight to Bulgaria, where he was supposed to catch up with the MoreNiche development team, because he forget his passport at home.
Hold it, just a minute there! Who’s Andy? What’s he doing at MoreNiche? And what’s the MoreNiche development team doing in Bulgaria?
I have no friggin’ idea myself! Ok, ok, I do. But I didn’t a few days ago. Luckily for me (and you), Andy was kind enough to answer those questions. And a bunch more I threw at him.
Read on to find out how MoreNiche survived the ice age! (more…)
