10 more Amazon Associate program lessons I learned on my way to six figure earnings

By Darren Rowse on Problogger

Despite the cumbersome title, this is a fantastically useful post in a series of three. I suspect many bloggers, like me, have been frustrated at their lack of success with Amazon. I don’t get many clicks, and when I do, I end up with pennies. After reading this post, I know why!

Great title and great content, which encourages us to focus inwardly a little more often.

13 fantastic and fun image generators

By Barb Dybwad on Mashable

Mashable are back as King’s of the resource post with this one. I spend ages trying to find appropriate photos for my posts, and this is going to be a huge help.

Regata de Jolateros

By Jules on Lanzarote Information

Yes she is my wife! Nevertheless, this post is here on merit. The photography is simply stunning, and captures this event brilliantly. Look at the photos and feel the smile light up your face.

By Sarge on Beginner Blogger

Sarge didn’t create this video, and I had seen it before, but it’s simply brilliant and this blog was the first I found with it posted.

How to research valuable keywords

By Stefan on Ducedo

Terrific resource post once again, explaining clearly and simply how to find the search volumes and values of your keywords

By Will Carling on Transglobe Blog

Great to see a celebrity contributing to the Transglobe blog, and interesting to see how “normal” his days are.
