What is Affiliate Marketing?

Affiliate marketing is a form of promotion that uses the Internet to advertise other businesses, as well as, your own business. You will get commission each time that you successfully advertise to another. Depending on the program, every time you get a customer interested in the goods or make a sale for the goods you will make a profit.
If you have a product to sell, you will find that this is one of the most cost-effective ways to advertise. Basically, you will pay practically nothing for simple advertising and promotion. The trend to use this type of marketing has become more popular since the late 1990's. So popular, that there are many major companies and corporations that use affiliate marketing.

There are many ways that you can promote a marketing program. There is PPC or pay per click. This is where you will pay every time a potential client clicks on your advertising for your product. Examples of this type of promotion are Google Adsense and Sponsored Search on Yahoo. Unfortunately, this is one of the most fraudulent versions. Because of this, marketers are searching out new ways to promote their products and some no longer use PPC.

A growing number of marketers are turning to CPA or cost per action as a better ways to make money with Internet marketing. This is where you pay someone for doing something. Perhaps you want to get more members. Every time that some one registers at the site you will have to pay for it. If you want to market CPA programs, you can check out a website like MaxBounty.com You will have to register and be approved but it's worth the time and effort because these programs are easier than the typical affiliate marketing program because you get paid for action, not necessarily a sale.

Cost per sale, which is the most common and profitable, requires a sale in order for the payment to be collected. These programs are promoted through article marketing, banners, and other creative actions. There is a learning curve with all of these methods.

Top Secret Way To Get Google AdWords Pay-Per-Clicks FREE

A new breakthrough secret is all you now need in order to get your Google AdWords pay-per-clicks FREE!
A gentleman from New York discovered what he calls an "oversight" on the part of 99.9% of all marketers that allows him to get otherwise paid-for advertising at Google as well as all other search engines that allow sponsored ads.

And no, nothing about his "secret" is illegal - nor does it require that you know someone on the "inside" at Google, Yahoo, MSN, Overture and others.

Instead, the New Yorker boasts proudly "...this is something that I caught onto just before 2000 when there was so much search engine craze running around, and started doing small just to test things at first ... but which I later expanded on after getting the hang of it."

This same fellow went on to start and operate sixteen separate online companies selling everything from pet food, DVDs, children's toys & games, books, software, and sold not only his own manufactured products but became an affiliate for other web businesses - all the while applying his mastermind secret.

Over the course of nearly eight years the New Englander confesses "I've actually gotten over $87 million in advertising that using my secret I never had to pay for ... and the largest share of which was more recently in Google pay-per-clicks as well as other forms of pad advertising at search engines ... all of which I got for free ..."

So powerful is his secret that he's able to monopolize any niche online, and can always secure the top premium spots just above the usual organic results featured at most search engines.

He still has to set up an account with the search engines - but after applying his secret he is removed from having to pay for all the costs otherwise involved.

Again, nothing about his secret is either illegal or robs from the search engines.

One spokesperson from one of the most popular search engines said chuckling after being made privy to this amazing secret "Wow! Ha! This is really unique ... and in my expert opinion it would only serve to enhance and bring more business to us at [name of search engine withheld for legal & confidentiality reasons] and not cause us to lose business in the slightest. Amazing!"

The northerner revealed that in this nearly eight years' period of time since applying his secret he's done well over $300 million in sales revenue with a most diverse line of products, and most recently in the last two years netted nearly $166 million after really "buckling down and pressing my secret to its fullest potential."

Now to everyone else's fortune, the city slicker is releasing his secret for getting an unlimited amount of pay-per-click ads to the general public. But he's not promising any of us for how long.

A bit of an eccentric, the gentleman says "We'll see just how long I can make it available before it saturates things."

One famous public web guru pointed out that although this man may gain economically more so as a result of the publication of his secret "he's already so amazingly rich that whether he continues or discontinues its sale will neither make nor break the man, but not grabbing it for yourself while it's still available could prove disastrous for you as you may only have one chance, and a very limited one at that, to get this."

How do you go about getting his secret? Easy click the link in my bio below right now and while you're there scroll down and read the huge successes others are reporting from the beta tests.

Google Blog Search Improved

Blog Search - A Google search technology especially focused on blogs which allows the internet users to discover the blogging universe more successfully. No matter, whether you are searching any reviews, political commentary, summer food recipes or anything else, Blog Search allows you to look out what people think on any subject of your choice.Google Blog SearchThe Google Blog Search results shows not just the blogs published via Blogger but also blog results for WordPress, Joomla and for many other blogs that are written in different languages like English, Italian, German, Thai, Swedish, Turkish, Indonesian, Dutch, Russian, French, Spanish and many other languages as well.
Now, Google Blog Search has improved their search service in more effective way. They are now capable of reading links on web pages. If you search for a query like a website URL, Google Blog Search automatically uses the "link:" service and displays the list of all blogs that have backlinked to the website URL presented in your search query.

I will explain you with an example here: If you search for yahoo.com, Google Blog Search will automatically convert your search query to "link:yahoo.com" and displays this search results which is a list of blogs that are linking to Yahoo.com.

Google now introduced some changes in the way they index content from blogs / RSS feeds. As before, they were only capable of using links from RSS feeds to decide the results for "link:" service but now they also consider links that are mentioned on web pages as well very similar to Technorati.

Simply, it means that if another blog say: xyz.com has linked to your blog "my.com" from his sidebar, Google will now display xyz.com in the search results as well when you query for link:domain.com

If there were a Technorati Rank like parameter for Google Blogs Search, almost every blog may have seen major fluctuations in their rank due to this simple change.
