Would you start a blog here if you could...

Hey everyone at Admin Talk,

I’ve been getting back into affiliate marketing lately and a thought crossed my mind. One way to help build traffic and user enjoyment is to allow you guys to make affiliate post. (Currently against the rules - forum wide) I don’t want this in the forum itself but I could add the blog addon and allow usergroup to make new blogs.

One concern I have is that these would be spammy post, so there would have to be some type of moderation que to get blog post approved. It’s easy to make a blog post and pimp out a few clickbank products; you can add image, video and full WYSIWYG editors. (Here is my the blog script on my other site)

I wouldn’t have a problem promoting the user blogs, I have a few new tools that makes building links a piece of cake.
What would be the pro’s and con’s from your perspective of adding blogs to Admin Talk to allow affiliate post?

 

Not something I would use personally but I think it would be a good idea.

 

I can tell you there are people that make a TON of money off affiliate marketing, making in a month what I make in a year working for the state.
I just read over an article the other day that I was showing to my girlfriend, trying to get her into it, and it outlined some of the key format suggestions most affiliate marketers use. I'll try to find it again and send it this way.

 

This is the article I found while searching for a way to pick the top preforming clickbank products.

The guy reviews ten top selling CB affiliates and what they have in comment and differences.

huh

 

I would use a blog and I think several others would as well

 

Honestly, I think two things could happen with member blogs on a forum... 1, they will not be used much and it will be an inactive feature meaning more inactive pages when a search engine indexes your forum or 2, they will be used more than your forum and you forum itself will suffer from inactivity. I do think a blog feature can be used successfully on a forum without many negative impacts, however, I think it is better to implement such a feature when the forum is considered a "big board" with a crap load of activity where if you get members who just use the blog, it wont really matter on inactivity on the forum itself.

That is what I see at least

 

I think its a great idea and we should try it.
