I'm fairly new to the affiliate and internet marketing game as I've only been doing it for a year and a half, but in my time I have seen some tremendously effective tools and processes, and some monumental changes in what work and what doesn't.
Since most of my business is based around building websites and getting 'organic' traffic from Google (also known as SEO marketing) I like to keep abreast of any new developments in the search engine's algorithm (the thing that calculates which sites rank where) and what works and what doesn't. Around March 2009 I bought a tool called Bookmark Demon, which lets you socially bookmark a page that you have made (whether it be a blog post, a simple website or a content-filled domain) to around 100 sites.
This tool worked great because it let you do it anonymously and quickly, with only a few captcha images to fill in at the start. The best part was that you simply filled in all of your login information for each site at the start, and then you could bookmark almost unlimited sites from then on.
For a few months I saw great results with my sites, and had many of my pages ranking in the top 5 for fairly competitive search terms without much work at all. The sites that I were building were fairly basic, and apart from one page of content only had a privacy policy and a page of terms and conditions. Fast forward to the end of 2009 and I have tried running the exact same process with nowhere near the same levels of results. It seems that Google has finally cracked on to tools such as these, and has put an end to the fun.
