Affiliate Marketing Secrets

I don’t want one-word, half-assed answers like “Crips” or “Bloods”, I’ve done some research and found out a few gangs run most of the crime around the socal area, I’m mainly asking just to have the question out there, for anyone googleing.
Who are the largest gangs in all of California? (Top Five)
Which of them are affiliated/loosely affiliated with each other?
Which are feuding?
Who operates overseas?
Which are the most dangerous?
What parts of which cities should you avoid?

were trying to pick a name that’s affiliated with New York City as that’s where the dad is from. so far we have Harlem Leigh (girl) and Hudson Lee (boy) tell me what you think. we’ve also thought of Bronx for a boy, the father was born and raised there, but I’m not too sure. any other suggestions would be helpful (and please don’t suggest Brooklyn I HATE that name with a passion)

We want to use our Affiliate Marketing skill set to develop a long term business, rather than just being a middle man. Although that’s been the convenience of being an Affiliate Marketer, but at the same time you don’t want to stress about depending on one product or one offer. You want to have a customer base you can count on. For example, in Diet space instead of a top 10 diet pill review site, like many people are doing, you might want to check out doing a free diet program. That might sound overwhelming, when you think of sites like SparkPeople and eDiets, but you don’t have to go all out and make it perfect. Just start with good and then go great. For example, a free diet program, that can even be online training, like videos on how to eat, just providing value.
This actually more fun than looking at your competitors and doing the same kind of review sites that they do because they’re too scared. The point of all this is to sell affiliate stuff on the back end. And of course, since you’re developing a customer base on the front end, you’re collecting those leads which means you can sell them, including your own products later on. You can even sell the list if you want. I’m not into selling lists because I think the list is about the relationship you have with them but some people do that and it adds to their bottom line.
Another example offer free training videos on your topic and its sub niches. This is something I’m doing on WebHosting break. For example, people who are starting a website, they may be curious about WordPress or SEO, SEM, PPC, PPV all that stuff, and want to know where to turn. When you’re at our level, in terms of our skill set, its easy to forget the level we were at once. It’s easy to forget how much value you can provide. Its easy to forget that you could help some people out by sharing information you already know.

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?
