<h3>We utilize Zac Johnson&#8217;s Landing Page template to see if we can get a domain name ranked, and start sending traffic to an Affiliate Program.</h3>
<p>In our articles <a href="http://blackinternetmarketing.com/hair-braiding-how-hair-braiding-videos-padded-my-pockets/-/Black-Internet-Marketing/2008/12/03/">Hair Braiding: How Hair Braiding Videos Padded My Pockets</a> and <a href="http://blackinternetmarketing.com/zac-johnson-comparison-landing-page-template-slimchewsnet/-/Black-Internet-Marketing/2008/11/25/">Zac Johnson: Comparison Landing Page Template | SlimChews.net</a> , we went over:</p>
<ul>
<li>Hair braiding DVD&#8217;s as an affiliate revenue stream</li>
<li>Landing page templates, of which a couple great ones are located over at Zac Johnson&#8217;s blog.</li>
</ul>
<p>Today, we launch an experiment to:</p>
<ol>
<li>get a DOT BIZ domain name ranked, and hopefully well for the terms &#8220;hair braiding&#8221; or &#8220;hair braids&#8221;.  <a href="http://hairbraids.biz">www.hairbraids.biz</a></li>
<li>utilize landing page templates by Zac, which we have definitely used successfully for conversions.</li>
</ol>
<p>We will eventually utilize Google Optimizer to do an A/B test against Zac&#8217;s <a href="http://zacjohnson.com/free-comparison-shopping-landing-page-template/" target="_blank">product comparison landing page</a> and the regular <a href="http://zacjohnson.com/create-killer-landing-pages-free-template/" target="_blank">landing page template</a> available at his site.</p>

<h3>Hair and Fashion have a huge market place online.  Do a web search for Hair Braids or Hair Braiding or Braids By Breslin to see how&#8230;</h3>
<p>A couple of years ago, I advertised on BlackAtlanta.com for a company called &#8220;Braids By Breslin&#8221;.  The banners did not really have a very high click through rate for the general population of site visitors.  However, I quickly noticed in the stats that the term &#8220;Hair Braiding&#8221; was quickly becoming very popular as far as natural organic traffic for the site.</p>
<p>This was because of some ancillary content that I had added as a landing page for the terms.</p>
<p>So I contacted Braids By Breslin by email, and coincidentally, they were starting an Affiliate program.  I was their first affiliate.</p>
<p>For months, I enjoyed easy affiliate commissions from natural search engine traffic for &#8220;Hair Braiding&#8221;, and was even able to tweak search engine optimization for other keywords like &#8220;hair weaving&#8221; or &#8220;Kinky Twists&#8221;.   And then the GOOGLE flip out occurred.  Google flopped on me and my stream of revenue went down the drain.</p>
<h3>Some Key Learnings</h3>
<ul>
<li>Search engine optimization is a GREAT way for free traffic opportunities.  It is also VERY direct, in that the end user is definitely looking for your product or service.</li>
<li>However, when Organic traffic is the ONLY source, if SEO efforts flop, then one should be prepared to supplement traffic in other ways.</li>
</ul>
<p>A Solid Hair Braiding Product</p>
<p>Another key learning opportunity was basically that, you should promote strong products.  In this case, promoting an affiliate program, with strong products.  Here are some high quality Hair Braiding Examples!</p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">With The Complete Training Package, You Get&#8230;</h3>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">The Braids By Breslin &#8220;Four Hairstyles In One &#8221; DVD</h3>

<p>So,</p>
<ol>
<li>Look for a niche in your traffic (Check your Stats!)</li>
<li>Then look for a product in which you could put in front of that demographic to buy!</li>
</ol>
<p>Good Luck!</p>
