When you put your first website – you have to admit they are pretty green to the ways of the Internet world. Do you think that once your website is up, and you have put your links on your site, you will earn money? I’m pretty sure many, would love that to be true. Just think how many Super Affiliates we would have. I’ll give you a taste of what to expect really.

The Beginning of the Start…

You were excited at first, and you have a sense of pride in your achievements. It is a fact that is no small thing to get a website online. But this is only the beginning of their experience in Internet Marketing.

All this takes time and work. But when you start, you have to have some time to optimize, to write articles, and to put AdSense ads on your site. Why? It has been said that for the next six months or nine months, Google and possibly search engines, can put you in the sandbox. Some say the Sandbox exists, some says no. Whatever it is called, you will see a degree of latency in place.

My own thought is that there may be a pre-set time of six months before seeing an increase in clicks- I know I did. I think there are maybe several reasons for this:

1. It is an excellent way to protect the Internet community against unscrupulous sites – I imagine that these sites have a lifespan of six months before people give them the boot. It only takes one person to feel the blunt of a scam, before they talk about it.

2. Web sites have up and down every day. Search engines are looking how to save your time and money. If you are still on the line after six months or nine months, you’re paying your debts, and it is possible that the figure is kind of serious about maintaining an online business.

What should I do during that six or nine months period?

First, and foremost – since you have provided with this information – do not get frustrated and give up. It is true that initially only the clicks you can view your account, but that will change.

Second, start positioning yourself, so when your dormancy with the search engines ends, you have the quality content and quality products to start working. That means, writing articles, getting your name out to the masses, and learn to use Adsense.

And when you have spare change, try your hand at advertising on Adwords.

In the beginning of your learning curve, which is just outside the door – take the time to read, buy appropriate e-books, experiment and research. All are important to move the learning curve at the expert level.

In conclusion, a website is just a small part, but an important part of becoming an affiliate marketer is really vital. Important elements like being persistent, hard work and marketing are what you need. And finally, if you still have the passion after the initial euphoria of becoming an online entrepreneur wanes – then you will succeed.
