Need website help - read on!

Emma · 22-07-09, 06:59 PM

There's been a fair few websites being copied recently, so thought I'd create this thread with some of the main content you need to include in your website for people to adapt or consider so hopefully there won't be the need to copy!

Main pages to consider are:

Home page
Not too lengthy: main introduction text, and the three signing up pics (sign up, complete an offer, refer friends) as well as clickable these are the images you can receive pics.
Text something along the links of:
..... was created to tell you about the free gift community. Thousands of people have been receiving free gadgets such as a Nintendo Wii, XBox360, GHD hair straighteners, iPods and much more for next to nothing - now you can be part of it!

This site takes you through the process from start to finish, provides proof it really does work, and links to hints and tips to help you get those referrals to get an items such as a free nintendo dsi.

The site can be found at XXX - get your free XXX now!

To get signed up straight away click on one of the images below.... or for further information visit my How it works page!

How it works
Refer to this page from the home page and include more detail on each of the steps

How it works is that by you signing up to a free gift site such as Freebiejeebies (or other) and completing an offer such as Coral which costs you £5 to deposit and play through, or Lovefilm which is a free two week DVD/game hire trial, as each free dsi site is part of an affiliate marketing scheme, such as Tradedoubler, when an offer is shown as having being completed, the affiliate company pay the free gifts site you joined.

This is roughly £5-£10 for each offer completed, which means they make £5-£10 every time someone completes this particular offer, and this varies from offer to offer.

For example:
You sign up to a free gift site> complete the Lovefilm offer > offer shows as being completed > Tradedoubler pays the free gift site £5-£10

Offers
Give the some details of the offers available, maybe include the offer images as clickable links ie

Some of the most popular offers to complete are below. Every site has varying of offers, and there are plenty to choose from!
Lovefilm
Lovefilm is a 2 week FREE DVD trial where you rent at least 1 DVD of your choice during the trial and have the option of keeping the account after the trial ends. You must make sure you rent at least 1 DVD though and are advised to keep the account on until the offer is showing as completed
Gala Bingo/Coral
Gala Bingo and Coral are both gambling sites, and part of the same network. This means you can only sign up to one of them. It only costs £5 to sign up and you then need to play through the £5.
Jackpot Joy
Jackpot Joy is another gambling site, costing £10 minimum which needs to be played through either on games, bingo or in the casino. The £10 must be played through to ensure the offer credits, but you can keep any money you win.
HSBC
The HSBC current account offer involves you opening and depositing money into a HSBC current account. You have to deposit more than £500 a month in order for it to credit ie your wage needs to be paid in there.
1&1
To complete this offer you need to sign up and take out the home (or higher) hosting package, costing £4.99 a month for the home package.

Hints and tips - Useful things for them to remember
Some useful things to think about when considering signing up to a site or sites!
1. You can only sign up to each site once from any household as the address and ip address need to be unique. So for example if you lived with your mum and dad they couldn’t be a referral for you, you also need to be careful for the same reason with university halls of residence.
2. You can only do each offer once, but don’t panic as there’s plenty to choose from, and each network tends to have differing offers.
3. If you think it will be easy to get people to sign up and complete an for you, choose referral based sites, but if you think this may be hard, choose points based sites as you sign up for multiple offers, some of which are free, and each counts towards your free gift.
4. Don’t spam your link! Many forums will be happy for you to join and slowly introduce the concept of free gifts to them, but don’t sign up and immediately start posting your link everywhere, as you’ll just be banned and the networks take a dim view of this.
5. Keep a spreadsheet or a similar thing as a way of keeping track of sites signed up to and offers done as it stops you signing up twice to anything which could potentially put your account on hold.

Proof
Include some of the key proof items below: exceem's live I got my free item feed, Newsnight and perhaps mention the T3 article

News page
Perhaps include a news page as an easy way to keep content up to date on your website without having to change anything major

Links
A good way to build backlinks is to have a links page, linking to sites by creating a thread in the link exchange section of exceem and any other sites you can think of and that are willing to swap links as long as they are relevant

Signing up pics
It's worth having pictures for people to click on to sign up rather than having all text. Ie pictures with Sign up - Complete an offer - refer friends! Always ask though before you borrow them from someone else's website.

Offers pics
As above, rather than having more text, there are images of offers which can be used, such as Lovefilm. Always ask though before you borrow them from someone else's website.

Proof pics
Two good examples to use are the live eXceem I got my free item feed and the BBC Newsnight Video.

Some general tips to remember:

You must have a clickable link back to exceem somewhere
Choose an easy to read font
Clickable referral links can be disguised behind pictures
Have a lighter background so the text stands out more
Don't talk about cancelling offers
Mention about the same IP addresses, can't complete an offer more than once etc
Have an easy to remember site address

In terms of actually building the website and SEO, there's far too much to mention here, but:

There's plenty of information on Google on SEO
Jon created this thread here on hosting!

You'll want to search the forums a bit, there's a lot of good guides/tips on exceem on building your website. But try not to post your referral link, its not allowed on exceem (or most other forums). You can edit your post with the button in the bottom right, or a mod will remove it for you

Edit - just seen its past 5 minutes since you've posted, so I've reported it for a mod to edit
