Affiliate Programs and Blogs - A Profitable Match by Don

The right affiliate program can make blogging very profitable. Choosing the right affiliate program for your blog can be challenging. Here are 5 tips to help you pick the right affiliate program for your blog.

1. Match the Affiliate Program to your Blogs Niche. I don't know how many times I see the wrong ads on blogs. If you're blogging about making money on the Internet, your readers aren't going to be interested in health food supplements! They want to see ads about making money!

2. PPA or PPC? Many Bloggers are familiar with programs like Adsense where the blogger gets paid a few cents for each click. This is a PPC program or "Pay Per Click." There is another type of program called PPA or "Pay Per Action." These programs pay you every time someone fills out a form and submits it. Generally, these programs can pay a lot more than PPC programs. Some up to $50 or more per action. If you pick a PPA affiliate program, pick a product or service your familiar with. Selling something you know nothing about is tough, real tough.

3. Size Matters - One of the things that turns me off as a Internet surfer is visiting a blog and finding huge annoying ads splattered all over the page. It may surprise you to learn that text links out perform banners on many blogs and websites. Internet users have became ad bling to many banners. Experiment with different ad sizes and layouts to find out which one works best on your site.

4. Ad Placement Is Everything - Where you place the ads is just as important as how many ads you have on a page. Nothing screams SPAMMER or AMATEUR faster. Learn the optimum number of ads per page. You can't try and sell everything on your blog, you'll run off visitors real quick if you do. Pick an Affiliate Program, any program, and stick to it.

5. Give More Than You Receive - If every blog post you write is about pushing some product or service you're selling, you'll find that your readers will leave in a heartbeat. Give your readers lots of free and useful information and they'll reward you by clicking on ads and buying those products and services.

Affiliate programs and blogs are profitable matches, what are you waiting for?

Affiliate Networking - Simple means of effective advertising by Brooke Theresa

Affiliate marketing programmes are creating waves on the Internet. This form of online marketing is in high demand mainly because of its cost effectiveness. With the help of affiliate networks, web businesses are reaping huge benefits. Affiliates are making money by diverting users to advertisers' websites, and on the other hand, advertisers are raking in the moolah by turning these users into potential buyers.

Affiliate networking works on simple advertising principles and serves as a platform for merchants and affiliates to come together and work towards generating profits. The ever-increasing numbers of affiliate marketers on the Internet is a proof of the growing popularity of such networks. The following are some of the most important reasons why businesses are getting into this form of marketing:

1) It suits all kinds of online businesses. Whatever your capital or investment capabilities, affiliate networks will be cost-effective for you, mainly because of their payment system. Most of the merchants need to pay affiliates only when clicks are generated through their websites. Thus, you do not have to spend too much on starting such a campaign.

2) Affiliate networks give you the opportunity of earning income without too much of fuss. Merchants do not have to work hard to drive traffic to their website, as this task is undertaken by affiliates. Starting from writing ad copies to exchanging links, they do the needful for your business.

3) It gives you the chance of going global. The Internet is the most wide-spread medium in the world today. Hence, any business that runs online has the advantage of being accessible to anybody and everybody using the web. You have to choose your niche product and plan out a strategy for your affiliates, so that they can take your campaign forward.

4) Affiliate marketing is not like a regular office that functions in particular shifts. This kind of marketing works 24X7. Because of its worldwide reach, it can generate revenues at any time of the day, from any corner of the world.

5) This form of Internet marketing comes with a very low risk factor. It is thus ideal for small and medium-sized businesses as well.
Join an Affiliate Network that suits your preferences, both in terms of money and services offered. The quality of affiliates available on that network should also be a key factor in determining if it deems fit for your business.

Introducing RSS

No-one can even agree on what the initials stand for. So, what is RSS all about?


R emember the ill-fated push for 'push' content which occurred around the time Microsoft introduced Internet Explorer version 4? Companies such as PointCast made a big splash for a while, offering to feed channels of information directly to our desktops. Unlike browsing, where you had to venture out onto the Net to find what you were interested in, push technology brought the stuff you were interested in right to your door, in the form of news headlines and stock market quotes and other types of information.


RSS is push, too. Or, rather, it's pull . Push implies the publisher knows who you are (a 'subscriber') and sends information to you; with pull, you know who the publisher is but they don't necessarily know you, a very important distinction in these days of spamming. There's no need to hand over information about yourself; instead, with an RSS reader on your computer, you go out searching for sites which offer RSS 'feeds', plug the appropriate address into your RSS reader and, from that moment on, have content delivered to your desktop as soon as it is updated.


RSS can also be used for subscription-based services and, as such, it offers online publishers a solution to the problem of having their ezines classified as junk mail by overzealous spam filters. Most RSS feeds these days, though, are demand-side services: you, the user, initiate and control the contact.


RSS succeeds where the original push failed because it is simple, lightweight and because control remains with the user.
