Affiliate Marketing Secrets

It’s sad how niche MMORPGs are … they are like real life but better, usually.

Perhaps the simplest way to explain affiliate marketing is that it is a way of making money online whereby you as a publisher are rewarded for helping a business by promoting their product, service or site.
There are a number of forms of these types of promotions but in most cases they involve you as a publisher earning a commission when someone follows a link on your blog to another site where they then buy something.
Other variations on this are where you earn an amount for referring a visitor who takes some kind of action – for example when they sign up for something and give an email address, where they complete a survey, where they leave a name and address etc.
Commissions are often a percentage of a sale but can also be a fixed amount per conversion.
Conversions are generally tracked when the publisher (you) uses a link with a code only being used by you embedded into it that enables the advertiser to track where conversions come from (usually by cookies). Other times an advertiser might give a publisher a ‘coupon code’ for their readers to use that helps to track conversions.

I was following up on my Profit Lance affiliate link and got the message, “Bad Request (Invalid Hostname)” What has happened to the site? I was in the middle of some training and starting to really get into IM and depend heavily on Profit Lance courses but now the site is gone. Anyone know what has happened?

I’ve tried out a few of the home online business things and have only been marjinally successful with one, but then they never paid me. Does Anyone have A GOOD and HONEST affiliate marketting site that works?

It’s a business operation by Google. Go to google and search links. Enjoy

I’ve read messages on here that are 2, 3 and more years old saying that Yahoo is working on a way for members to take over Yahoo email groups that are abandoned by their owners. It seems like it would be simple to do with these steps created by Yahoo:
1. Create a button for members to click to tell Yahoo’s computer system that the members think the owner has abandoned them.
2. When 2 group members have clicked on that “I’m abandoned” button, Yahoo would automatically send an email message to the owner asking them to reply to Yahoo with a special code or to a special website
3. If no reply is received from the owner, repeated email attempts to contact the owner would occur once per week for 2 months (in case they are on a long vacation with no email access).
4. If no reply is received from the owner during that 2 months time, the people who told Yahoo about the abandoned group would be made owners of the group.
A good option would be for the members to be able to vote for one of their own to take over the list of an abandoned group. This could be done by adding a “I vote for the following people to be in charge of this group” box, next to the button for members to click to tell Yahoo’s computer that the members think the owner has abandoned them.
1. Yahoo could have a pull-down menu of all members in that group, to be selected by the members reporting the abandoned group.
2. Yahoo should send an email (with a reminder a week or two later) to everyone in that group, telling them that 2 members reported that the group had been abandoned. These messages could give the name, ID and/or email address of the owners, asking all members to contact them, if they know them, urging them to assign someone else to be the owner, or become an active owner again.
3. The people with the three top number of votes from the group members would all become owners of the group. Hopefully with three owners, there would be very few abandoned groups in the future.
I ask again, is Yahoo really working on a way for members to take over an abandoned group?
