I love mybloglog. Just joined a week or so ago and it is very addictive. I've noticed that there are a few spammers on there but it is not too noticeable.
I personally wouldn't recommend PPC until you have quite a bit of natural search engine traffic coming into your site. I've tried it a few times without much success but there is an art to it and it can be successful if you work at it.
At this stage it sounds like you really don't have the...
I love Affiliate Organizer. I use it daily and it keeps track of all my passwords and user ids. I have hundreds of them so this software has helped enormously. This program was written by someone in the affiliate business so he has geared it specifically for the affiliate publisher.
You can...
You actually don't need to write anything yourself. You can hire writers to write up articles for you from as little as $5 per article. A couple of sites that you can do this are elance.com and rentacoder.com.
A good step-by-step guide to affiliate publishing is the James Martell Affiliate Handbook. It will answer pretty much most of the questions you have posted and it is geared towards those who have no idea about the business. There is a cost for it but it is well worth it. It got me started in the...
Affiliate publishers generally have a number of sites on the go and in turn a number of merchants on those sites. This means that they receive a large amount of email from merchants. I know that in the past I have just deleted some of these emails without even bothering to look at them because...
Here are a couple of good website builders:
www.xsitepro.com
www.ezgenerator.com
XSitePro is probably easier to use but Ezgenerator has a lot more templates to choose from.
Well after my initial question we have actually decided not to attend Affiliate Summit in January. :( Instead we will be going to the mid year Summit. We just couldn't get the flights we wanted and the flights we could get meant a stopover in Sydney and a stop over in San Francisco and on the...
I look for the following in this order:
1. Commission rate
2. The look of the merchants website ie. is it professional looking.
3. The links provided by the merchant - will they suit my site - are there a good variety of image ads and text links.
4. Do they have product links ie. links...
Great work. The first sale is always the most exciting. Now is the time to double your efforts while the motivation is there. The sales can only get better.
It's great value for money and the support is excellent!! I just love it. Took a bit to get the hang of but now it's a breeze to use and just so many features.
I don't think they have an affiliate program. :( Would definitely put them on my site if they did.
Thanks for the reply Stephen. I went and purchased a copy of XSitePro. I like it a lot except for the templates. Not much to choose from and they are fairly basic. Other than that it has a lot of nice features.
I think for anyone creating affiliate sites then this is an excellent option...
If you have a bit of money to spend you could get some writers to create some articles for you. Two sites where you can hire authors are elance.com or rentacoder.com. You can get articles written for as low as $3 but you get what you pay for so make sure you read some sample articles from any...
Thanks for the advice. Will definitely head on over to Google to take a look.
And just a suggestion to 5PillarManager, I have seen affiliate managers give away free passes to their top performers but it also might be a good idea to have a competition that also allows your low performers to...
