SuperAffiliate.com has been hit with a “malware” and after a couple of cleanups – I wanted to document how to fix malware on Wordpress in case this happens to you.
Here are the steps that I took (thanks to Hostgator’s help!)
FIRST – I replaced all my old Wordpress files with brand new 2010’s files! That actually did 1/2 the trick. The other half -
Okay still need help setting up your blog?
Right now, I’m putting together my top traffic strategies and blogging brings in 15% of my total opt-ins. Twitter brings in another 13% and that will grow depending on the number of followers you have. YouTube, Facebook, and MySpace bring another 15% combined. Another 20% come from the Search Engines, and I’m discovering some really cool tricks to getting higher page ranks! (as you can see from my new blog layout!)
But many people ask me – where would you start?
I would start by Picking a Niche, Building a Blog, and Building a Relationship with Your List!
Dating, Health, Fitness, Losing Weight, Pets, Dogs, Golf are the biggest converting sites right now because these people are veracious buyers. They buy one thing – they buy everything in that niche. And if you collect their information – you can sell them anything in the future. And the way to sell to these groups: Offer some free training videos or free information.. along with your affiliate link!
Three months ago, I gave you step by step videos on building your blog. Let’s recap step by step how to build a blog so you can at least get that part off to a great start:
Step 1: Choosing Domain Names and Hosting
Step 2: Installing Wordpress
Step 3: Installing a Wordpress Theme
Step 4: Installing Plugins

My problem has always been picking a Wordpress Theme. To me, the theme is like decorating – I’ve never been good at decorating. If I had my way – I’d put a pool table in the living room with a big 110 inch screen next to a fridge stocked full of Corona’s. And then, I’d put a big plant in the corner for that “upscale” look!
One secret to decorating your blog – just pay $39 for a professional theme. That’s what I did to Jeff Gardner’s Blog at http://www.gardnermarketing.com.
Last year, I switched to Studio Press Theme for all my blogs (except this one). I started SuperAffiliate officially four months ago, and I’m testing my traffic sources, my pagerank, my keywords for search engines versus blog layout versus # of opt-ins. Just by making small tweaks to your design combined with the right SEO plugin – I’ve gotten really great results.
Jeff Gardner’s Theme is actually an old Studio Press Theme. I bought this one for $59 years ago. Since then, Studio Press has cleaner, crisper looking designs. It’s your solution for those like me who suffer from BLOCD!

Hi there! It’s another great week for Online Profits…
If you have a little bit of time, let’s get you one step closer to having your own online business. Please download my ebook, 7 Days to Online Profits, and follow along my step by step videos designed so you can do most everything without hiring programming, designers or buying expensive books and courses.
So on Monday, I posted a video for Day 2, “How to Install Wordpress using Fantastico!” It takes less than 3 minutes if you use Fantastico. But then, I received a couple of emails back to back saying that they didn’t have Fantastico.
That’s okay, too! Here’s a video for those who don’t have Fantastico or need to install Wordpress manually. Enjoy… and Enjoy your week!
