Yes, I am already working on some things that I am sure will do a lot better. Like I said, I am glad I did the WSO. I learned a lot. And because of the failing, I believe the next one will do much better. Even failing is worth while if you learn from it. There is simply no better teacher than experience. And you can never get that in any WSO. Hello Charleen,

Yeah, there were far too many tags, so I disabled them. With all of the Google junk going on and the hype around over optomizing a site, I'd say stay away from having too many tags for sure. I am now limiting my tags to 5 or less. And I am carefully choosing the tags as well. Usually I just look for something with around 500 exact searches a month and go with that as a tag will never compete with high competition terms. So just hoping to get a few legit views with my tags. Yes, I'd disable them personally, especially if you have so many. Hope that makes sense :) Hi Elsie,

]]> Comment on JVZoo the next ClickBank? by bill http://streetbacon.com/jvzoo-the-next-clickbank/#comment-21684 bill Thu, 03 May 2012 02:43:08 +0000 http://streetbacon.com/?p=394#comment-21684 Hi Elsie, Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment! Yes, I agree that the more payment options you can give a potential customer the better. Nice tip on using Avantage for their wire transfer option. I didn't know that! I also agree that the name is really not the best. Not only does it not sound very professional, but it also seems to limit them. Meaning, I think a more generic brand name would have allowed them to be more of a product listing site as well as an affiliate platform. But with the "JV" in JVzoo, it really limits the potential to broaden their services. But I guess they had their reasons? Hi Elsie,

I've recently tried to purchase a couple of products being sold through JVZoo - one around the $500 mark. Problem - they only accept PayPal (I work in a non-PP country, so I can't use PP). So, those vendors missed out on sales. As a vendor, I sell through Avangate and CB - they offer lots of payment options. I would be hesitant to use JV Zoo (esp for high ticket items). I make a lot of sales from people in non-PP countries (Avangate offers bank transfer payments and I actually make quite a lot of sales because of this payment option). I think that the more payment options you give your customers, the greater your potential for sales - I'd hate to miss out on sales because my customer wanted to pay me but couldn't use PP. I also have a fantastic affiliate in a non PP country - if I only offered my affiliates payments by PP, I could also be missing out there. Also, I think the JVZoo name could be off-putting for customers outside the IM industry. The "zoo" part bothers me a bit - a lot of potential customers are worried about making online transactions, etc and I guess I don't see this name as sounding like a serious payment-provider type of name.

I'm using a couple of plugins - TagPig and Auto Link Juicer. I recently noticed that some of my posts have hundreds (!!!) of tags, which seem to have been generated from search terms - which I guess is what these plugins do. Some of the tags are absolute rubbish. I've been unsure whether I should remove these plugins - my rankings don't seem to be suffering (or my site speed - surprisingly), but I'm not quite sure whether these tags are actually bringing me extra traffic or not. I've read that G no longer takes much notice of tags, but still ... with all these algo updates and "over-optimization" fears, I'm wondering if G might look at that many tags and think I'm "over-optimizing".

The thread on WF was a bit painful to read because we've all been there -- put out a product or process without thoroughly testing it first. That said, I was even tempted to buy your WSO...and I never buy them. Ever. So your offer was value-packed to the point where even I (a person who pays a lawn service so I don't have to deal with grass) was intrigued by it. I'm certain you'll do better with your next venture. Hi Bill,

I hadn't seen your blog before, but took some time to poke around; very nice blog! I particularly appreciate blogs written from that first-person account standpoint - they tend to have more 'personality' than those written by someone trying to sound like a newscaster. Good info on high PR networks! Best regards, Michael Ullman PS - sent you a message via your contact form. Hi Bill,

I have seen blogs with 100s of tags that arent even related to the blog rank very well. I often wonder if they will be penalized by google somehow. Thanks for the info.
