On the site of the Audio Books Corner Store you’ll find a lot more Thrillers and Crime audios for immediate dowload. No need to hop over to the book store (if it’s open…) and to wait in line to grab afe exiting audio books.

An other set of Audio Books pages are up.

Sunday, December 24th, 2006

This being just before Christmas, there were a few other things to do, but I managed to load up an other set of nice looking audio books pages. This time it’s a mix of Romance audio books, Thriller, Crime, Horror and Radio Shows, with a few historical audio books and classic literature audios thrown in.

I think they look fine, but I’ll need to create a few more header banners, right now they are all under the ‘Romance’ header, not very good for Crime and Thriller audios or the Radio Shows. The Radio shows are mostly from BBC Audiobooks, thus it’s British humor and comedy.

Well, I presume Google, Yahoo and MSN let their spiders roam also during the holiday season, so I’m eager to see how long it’ll take for these pages to show up.

The audio books affiliate program interface allows to mix and match as you like, and the pages created are 100% unique. None of the other affiliates will come up with exactly the same set of audio books and this makes the pages very valuable.

Audio Books add valuable web content that Google likes

Friday, December 22nd, 2006

The Search Engines have become a lot more picky recently what they list and what they ban. The things that used to work either don’t work at all or have lost a lot of their quick and easy listing power with Google, Yahoo and MSN.

Monetizing web pages with a few scraped bits of content and maybe an Adsense Ad is a thing of the past. If you listen to the comments on forums that discuss webmastering, website building and SEO tactics, there is a lot of disappointment out there….. Months of work flushed down the drain with a few tweaks in the algorythms of the Big Three. Not a pretty sight, and for some people this starts to be threatening their livelyhood. If Adsense revenue from such sites was the major part of the income, an alternative needs be created now!

Our Audio Books Affiliate Program might be part of the puzzle to build more stable and content rich pages that are liked by the Search Engines, provide true value to visitors and help webmasters to earn money from their websites.

On December 16th - just 5 days ago - I built a bunch of pages with Foreign language course audio books on them. See the post of that date.

The example page that I had linked directly from this blog showed up the day before yeterday, that was already quite good.

Today I checked how well these pages were being picked up by Google, and to my pleasant surprise, Google seems to be very busy picking up the pages one by one. This domain name has only just been registered, and the content is barely 5 days old. And already 59 (!) pages are indexed.

If you want to check for yourself, go to Google and enter ’site:listentoabooks.com’ into the search form.

Now, maybe this is just the initial listing rush and we’ll be shoved back into nowhere - I don’t know but I certainly hope not. But as an initial result, this is quite good.

I’ll keep on building audio books pages to see how well other sets will be taken up. Also I recommend to our affiliates to either integrate audio book content into existing pages and maybe even build an audio books section on the specific topic of their web site. If you’re linking back in to the home page of the site from these audio book pages, or even better, if you’re linking to an other domain with the same topic, this will also help your SE rankings.

To checkif there are audio books that you would like to promote, use the Search function of the Audio Books Corner Store . If you’re not an affiliate yet, sign up for the audio books affiliate program and get going!

I’m very eager to see how this will continue! If you have comments or want to share your own experience with content creation, let us hear. Tks!

Downloadable Audio Book as Christmas Gift

Wednesday, December 20th, 2006

If you’re short a few Christmas gifts, then maybe a downloadable audio book will rescue you and help you find just the right thing for your loved one. These digital audio books are much more convenient than the old audios on casettes or CD. Even a large volume will easily fit on an MP3 Player and can be carried along everywhere.

AND you will not have to rush into the city, wrestle your way through nervous crowds and tackle even more nervous and tired sales people: Just fire up your browser and pick up a few good titles that connect with a hobby or interest of the person that is to receive the gift, or buy something in tune with the season, like i.e. ‘The Christmas Train’ by David Baldacci.

The AudioBooksCorner.com Store has also a couple of nice Christmas Special Offers for Audio Books

I for myself have been able to find audios for the few people I love, and I’m sure they will enjoy listening to these audio books. The Search function on AudioBooksCorner.com is quite nifty, and even though they have over 6′000 titles, if you look for a keyword, say ‘fishing’ you’ll find a few really great gifts. I chose ‘All Fishermen Are Liars’ and I’m sure this audio book will amuse my friend Hans - a great fisherman - and keep him company whilst waiting for really big fish to nibble or even bite.

For the other x-mas gifts I was looking for I did the same: I used the Search function on AudioBooksCorner.com and entered the words associated with the hobbies or likes of my friends and loved ones, and the appropriate audio books popped up. Much better than a desperate sales person, trying to fight off a customer that takes up too much time and keeps her from taking the money from customers who have already found their audio books and desperately want to check out….

Oh, yes, and if you want to buy these audio books not just at the specially discounted prices, but earn yourself an affiliate commission on top of this, go to BigMoneyWithAudioBooks.com and sign up, you’ll love the great and nifty features to create links and sales pages for your own audio books store!

Have fun finding your last minute Christmas gifts, or should I say X-Mas gifts?

Sell Audio Books from your Website

Saturday, December 16th, 2006

The one thing about affiliate programs I don’t like much, is that usually, when a visitor clicks a link of one of my affiliate programs, he’s GONE…..

Well, not with the new Audio Books Affiliate Program that has just started. (Details at http://bigmoneywithaudiobooks.com/ ). This program is really quite nifty. It allows affiliates to keep their visitors on their site all the time.

The system is easy to manage and the affiliate program offers all the tools to generate great looking illustrated links or text links for any of their products. A few clicks and a few copy and paste operations, an upload of the pages to your server and you have in effect installed a shopping cart and dowload page on your own domain - at least that is what it will appear to the buyer. The actual purchase process and the download will happen on the server of the Audio Books seller.

To check out how this looks here’s an example for a single book page. It took me less than 10 minutes to set up the three pages and get the code to make it all work on the site:

ListenToABooks.com - Learn Spanish in no Time

The download page with the same look is located at: http://listentoabooks.com/sd/download.html .

Click the “Buy” button to see what happens: For a ‘normal’ shopper the same header that pops up is enough comfort to stay and go on with the buying process.

The program offers both good income potential and a great way to add useful content to your web pages.

Foreign Language Courses on Downloadable Audio Books - New Niche Site Building Tool

Thursday, December 14th, 2006

Learning a foreign language can be quite tedious, and many certainly still remember the old way of getting the vocabulary into your head by boring repetition…. and it would still not really stick.

Using an Audio Book to immerse yourself in a language is a lot more fun. You hear different speakers pronouncing the words in the correct way and setting the words into natural context. As you can take an audio book anywhere you go, it’s easy to repeat when you have a few minutes of spare time.

Downloading an audio book with a foreign language course (just a short introduction to a language course or a complete full blow language course that will make you proficient in the new language) is now easier than ever:

ListentoABooks.com offers a bunch of language courses that will enable anybody to learn a language on the go:

Foreign Language Courses in Chinese Mandarin
Foreign Language Courses in French
Foreign Language Courses in German
Foreign Language Courses in Italian
Foreign Language Courses in Japanese
Foreign Language Courses in Russian
Foreign Language Courses in Spanish

English for Foreign Language Speakers

Building a Niche Site for Audio Books is Quick and Easy
I’ve set up this site to show you how easy it is to build great niche sites for audio books. The ListentoABooks.com website was produced with the help of the files that are made available from the owner of the Audio Books affiliate program. The pages are keyword rich, have a clear focus on foreign language learning and look great.

The raw content files that were delivered needed very little work and only some HTML code to place around them, adding the top banner and improving slightly on the main keyword emphasis was all that was neede to build a niche site for foreign language courses that contains 100 sales pages and will, over the next few weeks be enhanced by a few more pages with articles and a link page.

It took me less than a day from research to uploading these pages to the web server and going live. If I had had to get all these links, images and the corresponding descriptive texts manually, I would have been able to produce maybe 10 to 15 pages per day, or I could have built them without the randomized additional books, risking that these pages would have looked like all other on the web that offer the same product.

Even if you are building niche sites in your spare time only, you will be easily able to set up two to three similar sites on different topics every week. Building your own audio books niche network will position you smack in the middle of one of the most dynamic growth markets for audio content. As more people own a MP3 player, downloadable audio content other than music will be in very high demand.

These are the key advantages of these special niche pages

  • Unique Content for every affiliate
  • Search engine friendly html code
  • Commission 3 to 6 times higher than Amazon and others
  • Downloadable Audios - no waiting for the product to arrive = Impulse purchase!

If you are interested in building similar niche pages, let us know. You will get a set of different pages, as the additonal suggestions below the featured language course audio book are randomized. Thus the Search Engines will not penalize you for duplicate content. And through adding additional information on top of the featured audio book, and at the bottom of the page you can further personalize the pages.

Earning 10% up to 20% affiliate commission for every sale to your visitors is also much more than what the established conventional book stores are ready to share with their affiliates. Amazon, Barnes & Noble and others think they are generous when they part with 3%…..

To add audio books that are on topic for your website is easy, quick and will bring you additional income.

There are many more topics that might well fit into your existing website and it’s subject. To check out the possibilites and see how many audio books come up, use the search function at AudioBooksCorner.com Once you have found audio books for your niche that you would like to feature on your website, let us know. Just fill in the form at BigMoneyWithAudioBokks.com and we will get in touch with you and help you set up your money making audio books pages.

Monday, Dece
