Are You Doing
The Bonus Backlinks Magic
The WRONG Way?

It is funny, but many people need to see someone else on page 1 before they start acting – but it is what it is. After this post was published and showed that affiliates in Free Traffic System can get backlinks without submitting a single post, lots of people started to affiliate the project.

We were happy – this doubled daily number of registrations, more than doubled the daily level of article submissions. And then we saw that some of the affiliates missed the point and might never get Google page 1. This post is going to explain how to avoid the problem.

The WRONG Way to Do It…

It will be easier to explain the problem from the example of the wrong way of handling the bonus backlinks. And our virtual affiliate Tony will help to do that.

Tony was shocked to see that other affiliates get lots of bonus backlinks “OMG!” – he said – “Where have my eyes been before? How could I miss to read the affiliate page rules” and Tony rushed to promote Free Traffic System.

Tony also went to the Affiliate Program page and inserted lots of keywords into the Bonus Link Settings (you can read how to do that on this page).

And this is what Tony did the wrong way – he was so eager to get Google page 1 for different URLs of his site that he inserted several URLs and made several keywords for each of the URLs. And this is a big mistake.

Let’s do simple calculations. Tony put 5 different URLs for bonus backlinks settings and got 5 different keywords for each of the URLs. This basically means that Tony gave Free Traffic System 25 different variants of links with anchor texts.

Now imagine, Tony has referred 10 people and only 2 of them started to submit articles and bring Tony the bonus backlinks. But even if these 2 users are submitting content like crazy, Tony has so many different versions of links and anchor texts in the bonus settings, that he literally needs tons of content to be submitted by his downline before he sees any positive results.

The RIGHT Way to Do It…

(1) Do not be greedy about your bonus settings. Start with one URL and 2-3 keywords for that URL in the bonus backlinks settings.

(2) Once a week check the activity of your downline: how many people you referred and how many bonus backlinks they have generated for you (read this post to find out how to check the number of your bonus backlinks).

(3) If you saw that your bonus backlinks are growing and you have ~ 100 and more new bonus backlinks per week – then you can add new URL and 2-3 keywords to the bonus backlinks settings.

And this is Not Just About Bonus Backlinks!

Even if you are simply submitting articles, it is pointless to have 20 keywords for KEYWORD1 and 10 keywords for KEYWORD2, because the maximum number of republications that you can get from 1 article is 30 blogs.

This means that each of your KEYWORD1 keywords will get maximum 1 backlink, and each keyword from the KEYWORD2 will get maximum 3 backlinks. This is not enough to make a push. You do not imagine how many people are doing this mistake.

So, 2-3 keywords per KEYWORD1 and KEYWORD2 is absolutely ok.

I Started to Bring People to Free Traffic System
Where are My Bonus Backlinks?

After launching 2 tier affiliate program and showing some of the advantages that it can give you in getting one way links (for more details please check these posts Why 2 Tier Rocks and Affiliate Page Guide) – many people started to send people to Free Traffic System.

Naturally these people are very excited to see bonus backlinks. We decided to shed some light on this topic.

So, after the people whom you send to Free Traffic System (with your affiliate link!) start submitting articles, you receive backlinks from portion of all articles they submit.

To see the stats about these bonus backlinks, please login to Free Traffic System members area and click the STATS page, shown on the screenshot below.

Then you need to find option Show and it has dropdown menu – chose Post With Bonus Links in the drop down menu, and it will list you all posts (done by your referrals on your 1st and 2nd tier) that have your bonus backlinks inside.

The screenshot shows where to find this option.

Ok, once you chosen Post With Bonus Links, you see a table with detailed information about your bonus backlinks.

In particular you see:

  • Blog – it shows the name of the blog where the post with bonus link was published
  • Blog Category – into what category of this blog your post with bonus link was published
  • Title – the title of the post with your bonus backlink
  • User – who submitted this post with your bonus backlink (you can see who of the users from your downline is active in submitting content and brings you most bonus backlinks)
  • Date – when this post was published
  • Status – report about the post

As you can see, detailed stats on your bonus backlinks – exactly what one might need to experience the real backlink growth.

If you have recruited people to Free Traffic System and see no bonus backlinks, it means your referrals have not started to submit articles. Don’t forget that you get bonus backlinks from the articles submitted by your downline; no article submissions – no bonus backlinks.

So, give your people a push, encourage them why submitting content is important for them – this is about their backlinks or this is about saving huge money on buying these backlinks somewhere else ($6 per one quality link of that kind).

And do not forget that you must be building backlinks on realistic keywords. If you think that you put the keyword ‘make money’ and URL of your site into bonus backlinks settings – then you are mistaken. Most likely only dozens of thousands of backlinks will produce any results for the keywords of that difficulty.

Hire us to do keyword research for you and find realistic keywords for link building, we’ve been doing that for a long time and know how it works ‘behind the curtain.’
