I didn't have time to setup a Mother's Day Gift site this year. I had meant to re-configure my Valentine's Day flowers site into a mother's day gift's site with a similar look and feel. Most of the same merchants would work as well. But alas, time got away from me, and here we are just days before the Mother's day shopping season ends.

Then I had an idea, I am receiving all of these special coupon codes in my email for Mother's day, why not just take these deals and post them to my web-coupon-codes.com site in a special Mother's day deals section. This way I can leverage my coupon codes blog and have a mini-site that lists any deals I want to post for Mother's day. Since all the deals are specific for Mother's day, the section of the blog would be right on topic and might score high organically.

Todd and I have noticed blog entries ranking well and getting indexed fast in search engines. I think the nature of their RSS feeds and the ability to ping sites as new posts are entered make them great search spider food.

Personally, I like TypePad as my Blog software of choice. You can get a basic weblog for just $4.95 per month, 3 blogs for $8.95 per month, and for $14.95 a month you can get an unlimited number of blogs. The unlimited deal is great for any serious affiliate who plans to make the most out of blog technology.

Why TypePad vs Blogger? The main reason I switched from Blogger to TypePad was the permalink option which takes each post and makes a single page out of it along with any comments posted to that page. Goyami uses the same technology using their server side product, MovableType. TypePad is their hosted version.
