A new approach in affiliate marketing for shop-top1000.com

I have been doing affiliate marketing for years on the side next to the webdesign activities I had back than. I earned quit well for a while despite I did not much more than promoting affiliate links on start pages and on shop-top1000. Shop top 1000 was a toplist. I created frame pages in order to list them on that and other toplists.

The whole thing collapsed when the recession came and competition from other people creating start pages and toplists as well. At that time I was not on any social media site, not even twitter and I did not blog. After going global I pretty much abandoned several Dutch sites but I am now in the process or reviving and updating them. Goal is not only to achieve better revenue from Dutch affiliate programs but also to introduce several APSense services like BrandPagePro and the recently launched Lookii to Dutch entrepereneurs.

These are all tools I learned to use a few years back when I went global. So I restarted with shop-top1000 knowing what I know now.

The current set up has also a web shop index but in addition I have a directory highlighting specific shops and products with reviews and I have a blog for which I started writing posts myself. Many have a touch of humor and have (I hope) catching subject lines. I.e. "Mummy please put my teddy in the microwave".

I share those on social media sites. Dutch ones. To my surprise there are hardly any sites with decent free PLR articles. I found a few that were translations from English ones. Bad translations obviously translated by a machine and some are in Dutch harder for me to read than articles in English. So far I found only 1 with decent Dutch articles and so far i have seen very few Dutch using them. So most bloggers in Holland have to write their own content for their blog. So this might give me some advantage when more articles on shop top 100 appear in search results. I have only written a handful so far.

I think this actually might work. I restarted from scratch a few times and foolish me forgot to make a back up from WP articles. But I was able to retrieve several through Google cache that were posted only a week ago so that is encouraging.

I know there are a few Dutch people here on APSense, you can visit my site here: Shop-top1000.com
