Article marketing is a highly effective way to increase your commissions with the RankPay Partner Program. If you’re an Internet marketer, writing articles and submitting them to article directories should be at the top of the list of things to do in your marketing campaign. Pretty much all of the marketing “gurus” have used article marketing to make thousands, if not millions of dollars as affiliates.
Here’s why Internet marketers have been so successful with article marketing:
- People search the Internet for information and articles that provide valuable information are more likely to be read.
- Articles that are submitted to the top article directories are usually ranked higher in the search engines. These article directories have high Google PR ranking, therefore, the articles listed in those directories get more attention from the search engines and they’ll show up in the top results.
- When you submit articles to certain directories, you give permission for publishers to use your articles in their newsletters, blog, or websites. These publishers have to include your resource box or bio which will have a link to your website. As a RankPay partner, you’ll include a link to RankPay along with your unique promo code in your bio.
What if I don’t like to write?
If you don’t have the time to write articles or don’t feel confident in your writing skills, don’t worry because there are tons of freelance writers out there who are willing to write original articles at affordable rates! Post an ad on Craigslist indicating that you’re looking for articles about SEO or Internet marketing and be sure to mention that you’re looking for original content. You don’t want an article that’s been plagiarized or published all over the web. You can also purchase original articles at places like Constant Content or Daily Article.
This is just a basic outline of how to get started with article marketing. If you have any questions or would like to leave your own tips, leave a comment!

It’s easy to sign up for affiliate programs and market them on your website or blog, however, the easiest and best way to sell RankPay’s SEO services is to actually become a customer and get to know exactly how the company works. By becoming a customer, not only do you benefit from getting your website ranked in the search engines, but it also makes it easier to write up your own testimony or review on your blog or website.
People are more inclined to buy a service or product from you when you offer an honest and thorough review – especially if you already have an established relationship with them. Who would you buy from – the person who says, “This service is great!” and simply gives you a link to a website or the person you know who uses the product/service and is honest in their reviews? Being a successful affiliate is about relationship marketing and it’s a very important aspect of doing business online nowadays. Actually, this is how business has always been done – at least by those who truly understand what business is about.
Even if you don’t sign up for RankPay’s SEO services, we still highly recommend getting to know as much as you can about how the company works. Shawn Bishop, the CEO of RankPay, is always available for interviews if you’d like to write up an article about search engine optimization. Shawn has been involved in the industry for many years and can offer opinions, comments, or answer any of your questions about SEO. Also, keep in mind that RankPay has a YouTube channel and you’re welcome to use any of the videos there to embed into your website or blog.
Offering your blog readers or website visitors as much information as you can about RankPay will help them make an informed decision on whether or not to sign up for our services. Don’t forget to tell them that they can get a $50 credit off their first month by using your promo code!

One of the big selling points of RankPay that should really stand out in your mind as an affiliate is that our services follow a “pay as you rank” model. If you didn’t already know, this is pretty much unheard of in the SEO industry.
If you know anything about how most SEO companies operate, you are aware that many of them require upfront deposits and usually they’re pretty high deposits. However, with RankPay, website owners do not pay any type of fees until they actually rank in the search engines (Google, MSN, and Yahoo).
Some SEO companies have given the rest of the industry a bad reputation by conducting unscrupulous search engine optimization techniques (a.k.a. “Black Hat”) which has made it a challenge for other firms to do business. RankPay wants to regain that trust back by offering its services on a pay-per-ranking basis. We build a website’s rank through ethical means and we guarantee this or else there is no charge!
Just to make sure you understand how RankPay’s services work, let’s do a quick overview…
- Customers create an account and submit the keywords that they would like to rank for
- RankPay starts working on building the websites rank for Google, Yahoo, and MSN
- Once a website starts ranking in the search engines, RankPay charges the customer. Generally speaking, charges don’t begin until the website has reached a ranking of #30 or above, although there are exceptions.
- When a customer has reached their desired ranking goal, they have the option of switching their account to “Maintenance” to maintain that same rank.
So in a nutshell, that’s how RankPay’s service works. For more information, visit our wiki or check out the F.A.Q. page at the main website.

Social media and social network marketing have been the buzz words the past couple years when it comes to internet marketing. There are tons of social networking websites nowadays such as Facebook, MySpace, YouTube, Twitter, etc. where people go to hang out and share links, pictures, and information with others. Many online business owners are now using these sites to connect with customers and market their services and/or products. You, too, can leverage the power of social networking websites to promote the RankPay Partner Program, but if you’re a newbie to this form of marketing, there are some Do’s and Don’ts that you should be aware of…
Do:
- Spend some time getting to know the type of people that hang out in certain groups or forums within these social networking sites. You’ll be more successful if you hang out in groups that are associated with your interests.
- Remember that these are online groups with real people who may be sensitive about how you approach them. Nobody likes to be pitched to in an online forum – especially if you’re trying to promote something that has nothing to do with the group’s topic.
- Follow up with people who express an interest in who you are and what you do. Business is about making contacts and building relationships with people. They may not become a RankPay customer just yet, but if you build trust with people, then perhaps eventually they’ll become a customer!
- Become active in whatever social networking site you join. Just because you create a profile with your information doesn’t mean that people are going to come pouring in to see your page. Being active means visiting other people’s pages and leaving comments, messages, or sharing information with them.
Don’t:
- Be a spammer! This is a huge no-no in many social media/social networking sites. If you’re always posting ads or pushing products on people, pretty soon people are not going to pay attention to you. Some people may even report you as a spammer and you could get banned from these sites.
- Join hundreds of sites just for the sake of promotion and advertising. There’s a reason why they’re called “social networking” websites!
- Take negative comments personally. Be the professional business person that you are and shrug off other people’s negativity. However, if you do receive constructive criticism, politely respond back.
Social media and social networking is just one way to promote the RankPay Partner Program and making those connections with people is important to your success as an affiliate. If people get to know you and like you, they may be inclined to help you spread the word!
