Internet Marketing Rolodex
Hi there! I’m an internet affiliate marketer among other things, and this is my Internet Marketing rolodex… a list of all sorts of links I’ve found useful over the years. Hopefully you will find some value here too. Naturally some of the links are affiliate links and may result in compensation to the site owner so don’t be shy about clicking anything that looks helpful, okay?
If you have something that would make a nice addition here, feel free to leave your info in a comment below. Comments here are moderated which means I get to read them and decide what we’ll share with everybody.

Getting your articles published.
AUTO RESPONDERS
Aweber is what I use but if I was starting again I’d go for GetResponse because it is slightly cheaper. Both are market leaders in the “mailing list management with unlimited autoresponders” department.
YourMailingListProvider.com – If you need a FREE mailing service, I have used YMLP. When your list passes the 1000 subscribers mark, you will have to pay.
Zinester.com is another free service I have used. You can export your names and emails from YMLP & Zinester but nobody lets you import a list without sending out a “Please confirm your subscription” email and you lose many from your list in that process. So consider starting right, with GetResponse which is free for 30 days.
BACKLINKS
FreeTrafficSystem provides a great free service that distributes your articles (with your keyword-rich links in) across their growing network. As a result of getting all those backlinks, I’m onto page 1 of Google for 2 keyphrases at time of writing this.

HOSTING
HostNine – Only $6.95 a month for unlimited domains, unlimited diskspace and unlimited bandwidth on CPanel hosting. Unlimited subdomains, too. If you ask me, their BEST feature is the reseller package where your sites can be hosted on multiple C class IPs. When you link your sites that are all on the same IP address, you get very limited SEO linking benefits. With sites living at different IP addresses, you get all the link juice.
HostGator – They have all the above except multiple IP addresses (available for an extra fee?) and the $7.95 can be paid monthly – a nice feature.
