Most Wanted Coupon March Madness!

We are excitged to announce the 1rst annual Most Wanted Coupon Tournament! It's that time of year again, March Madness and the NCAA Men's Basketball tournament is getting ready to start so we thought we would do something fun for everybody along those lines.

We've paired up 64 of our top merchants in a single elimination format similar to the college basketball tournament that can be seen below. Sorry we weren't able to actually show the tournament in bracket form but we will post the results after each round so everybody will know what's going on. They way it works is you vote for the merchant you like the best, the merchant with the best coupon or the merchant you would most like to see a coupon from. We then tally up the votes and the winner moves on to the next round. There is a total of six rounds with two rounds taking place each week over a three week period. The tournament starts on Thursday March 19th with a winner announced on Monday April 6th.

We know who we like, but we'd like to get a feel for what everybody else out there thinks. Your participation is greatly appreciated, feel free to send us an email to info@wantedcoupons.com with your selections or just add comments below to vote. In case there are no votes for a particular matchup, we will go by overall clicks generated for each merchant. Hope everybody has fun filling out their brackets, good luck to all the merchants out there and as always we encourage you to Keep On Coupin' On!

Coupon Code for Loan Services!

Hello All,

We've partnered with some reputable loan service providers to save our WantedCoupons.com friends money on loan services. If you need a loan, could use some credit repair or even if you are behind on your current mortgage payments, you may be able to put this coupon to good use. Don't feel bad if you find yourself in this situation, the combination of a struggling economy and decreasing home values has many Americans in the same position. That's why the government offered a $700 billion bailout last year.

You may be very surprised at what the banks are willing to do nowadays. You could try to negotiate with the bank yourself or you could let one of their professionals get you the best deal available. We've learned that the banks do not want to foreclose on homes. If you are in danger of missing your mortgage payments or have missed some mortgage payments already and can establish a hardship (loss of job, divorce, adjustable rate mortgage, etc.) you may be able to significantly lower your rate, payment and maybe even your principal balance.

Check out iloanmods.com and see for yourself. Use the code wantedcoupons to save $25 on any services (enter into comments section of contact form). Use the same code when you visit loanmodassistant.com through their do-it-yourself loan modification page and save $25 as well.

Just a reminder that our Most Wanted Coupon March Madness Tournament will be taking place soon. Be sure to check back with us next week for more information and as always Keep On Coupin' On!

Going On Vacation Soon?

Are these two beach chairs your next destination? It's about that time of year when I could really use a vacation. The next best thing to actually going on one...writing about one. The weather here in Chicago is back to normal winter conditions after a couple seasonably warm weeks. I'd love to be in California, Florida, Vegas...almost anywhere except the midwest right now.

If you'll be going somewhere soon, I hope you have booked a flight already. If not, don't worry you can always find good flight deals from priceline, orbitz, hotwire and more on our travel and vacation coupons page. You can also find hotel deals, rent-a-cars, cruise coupons, luggage and all kinds of cool stuff you might want on a vacation.

Speaking of luggage the wonderful affiliate manager for Irv's Luggage and Executive Essentials Karen McMahon has given us some exclusive luggage coupons:

• Receive an Additonal 15% off Your Order with Exclusive Code WANTED15 + Free Shipping on $99+. (some exclusions apply)

• Executive Essentials: Take an Additional 10% off of Your Order of Fine Pens, Desk Sets, Briefcases, Handbags, Clocks and More with Code WANTED10 + Free Shipping on $99+. (some exclusions apply)

Hope you enjoy them! Feel free to share your upcoming vacation destinations or stories and as always "Keep on Coupin' on"

A Beginner's Guide to Creating Your Own Website. Tips & Coupons for Webmasters & Affiliate Marketers

Ever thought about having your own web site? Do you have your own website but looking for some affordable solutions for improvement? The freedom of working from home and being your own boss that being a webmaster or affiliate marketer offers is very attractive to many. More and more people are turning to the internet as not only of source of information, but as a source of income as well. I thought I would share with everybody some tips and coupons for webmasters and affiliate marketers, as I am learning how to become one myself.

Webmasters know that developing a good site is much more than just programming. You need a wealth of knowledge that deals with more than just codes and html. I feel it's important to focus on what you do best, in my case sales and affiliate marketing, however understanding the big picture of creating an effective website should not be overlooked.

Finding a niche that you can be successful at can be difficult, but it is very important. Try using a keyword tool to find the popularity of your potential topic and use that information to judge if it's something worth pursuing. The smaller the niche, the better chance you have at making an impact and engaging regular visitors or members of your site. One of your goals should be to become an authority on a topic so that people will trust you enough to buy things based on your recommendations. Once you figure out what your site will be about, you'll need to pick a domain name and set up your hosting. We've got some great deals from godaddy to take care of all your domain and web hosting needs.

Creating good copy and content is probably the single most important aspect in web development. It's often said that "content is king". Writing about things you are passionate for is widely recommended. In other words, don't just write about making money because it's something that you think people will want to know about. If you know a lot about grocery shopping, then the information you create about grocery shopping will be much more useful to your audience and thus much more effective for you. Adding high quality photos, images, widgets, videos and other useful media to help convey your points can be very effective as well.

Search engine optimization is another important aspect for webmasters. Optimizing your sites for search engines like google and yahoo will allow people to find you on the internet much easier. This involves creating title, meta and description tags that mention the keywords you are trying to target, along with on page optimization and link building. For example, if your site will be about Chicago restaurants, you would want to mention those words in all of the tags and about three to five times on your actually website page depending on the amount of content. This helps google determine what your site is about. You can find more information about search engine optimization at xebradesign.com.

Link building is also very important in determining your site's rank in search engines. The more high quality related sites that you have linking to you the better. For example, if you have a small plumbing business, you would want links from other sites related to plumbing. Good places to start would be any associations or organizations that you are a part of. General directories, article directories, facebook, myspace, craigslist, google maps and yahoo local are also great links to have. The age of a site is very important in the eyes of google too, so the sooner you get started the better!

If you are not a designer or not familiar with website design at all, it might be easiest for you to get started with a free blog from google. They supply many free templates and everything you need to get started with having a web presence for free. Otherwise you can find a plethora of high quality template choices from joomla or templatemonster. As time goes on if you want to be taken more seriously, you should consider upgrading your blog to a wordpress and using a custom coded site.

Now it's up to you on how you would like to monetize your website (not as easy as it sounds). Most people don't make or sell anything themselves, so affiliate relationships have been growing rapidly in the past couple years. The way this works is pretty simple; you send traffic to a merchant that sells products or services via a text link or banner placed on your site. They pay you a percentage of each sale that comes through your site in return. One site that I came across has a very affordable comprehensive solution to getting started with affiliate sites for only $49.95. I would also highly recommend the AbestWeb forum. You can learn from some of the best affiliate marketers in the industry and stay abreast on current webmaster and affiliate trends.

Websites are widely regarded as the best marketing tool available nowadays. Whether you have a small business or just looking to make some extra income, gaining a web presence is very important and will only continue to increase in effectiveness as the popularity of the internet grows. Getting a website or making your existing one better is much more affordable than most people think, especially with the help of some coupons and deals from wantedcoupons.com. Check out the webmaster page and get started with one of the best investments you can ever make.
