What makes vBSEO (aff) great is not only their SEO plugin, but also their affiliate program. It’s free to enter the affiliate program and you don’t even have to own a vBSEO license to join. You make 15% of each sale (15% of $149 for $22.35 per license) sold directly through your link and can also make 2nd tier earnings from other webmasters that sign up through your link. So not only do you have the chance of getting $22.35 for selling a license, but you can also make an additional 5% when other webmasters sell a vBSEO license after signing up through you. Obviously you don’t take the 5% from their revenue, rather vBSEO gives you 2nd tier 5% bonus (5% of $22.35 for $1.11). Now $1.11 is not a lot; however, over time if you sign up multiple people it can be a significant passive revenue stream.

Anyway, after only 36 visitors, I got my first affiliate sale for vBSEO the other day which resulted in $22.35 being deposited into my paypal account. The only problem with the affiliate program though is that I can’t tell where it came from, I’m interested to see if it came through the footer link on my forums or through one of my blog posts. Perhaps I’ll ask on vBSEO’s forum’s to see if there is anyway to track where these sales come from, but I’m pretty sure the only way to do it would be creating multiple affiliate programs (which I’m not sure would comply with their TOS). In any case, someone purchased a vBSEO license through my affiliate link on either this site or one of my two forums that are currently running vBSEO and I got $22.35 for it.

I truly believe that this plugin will help improve the traffic on my forums and I’m out to provide facts to support it. And before you ask, I’m not a mouth piece for vBSEO, rather it’s just one of many tools designed to help improve traffic for forums and a tool that - if proven successful - will help make me more money which I can in turn spend on improving my existing sites, add new features or using elsewhere. I hope that my case studies on vBSEO will help you make a decision on wether or not to purchase a license or two, and if they do would you be so kind as to purchase a license through my affiliate link?

Thanks in advance
