In the last few years, webmasters have discovered that affiliate marketing can be an extremely lucrative way to earn additional revenues from their sites. Now, a purely informational website that doesn’t sell anything can generate massive revenues by adding recommendations to products and services via online affiliate programs.
Signing up for affiliate marketing programs can be a very effective way of paying for web hosting fees and bandwidth, domain names, and the time it takes to keep an informational site updated.
So what exactly is an affiliate marketing program?
Affiliate programs are nothing more than partnerships with various businesses online. Partnering up with these businesses gives you the ability to offer additional resources to your visitors and is a valuable way to attract and retain your visitors because you are adding additional value.
Online affiliate programs have a track record of being very successful. They have been responsible for creating massive wealth over the last few years and have really become a popular addition to the Webmaster community.
Joining an affiliate program requires you to apply and you can usually gain approval immediately. Many affiliate programs provide you with a host of banners and other tools that you can use to market their products and services and each tool is linked to your unique affiliate ID to ensure that you get credit for the sale.
If you’re interested in becoming an affiliate marketer, there are many different programs and products that you can promote. From online poker rooms to diapers and everything in between, there is an opportunity for all. To get started, I would recommend that you check out Commission Junction, one of the leading affiliate marketing networks and one that will give you access to thousands and thousands of different products and services that you can begin to earn money from immediately.

[Permalink] [Comments - 0] [Send Article] [Improper]Ask.com's New Motto: Be Evil?
By Andrew Goodman,
March 29, 2006
More coverage of Danny Sullivan's keynote conversation with Barry Diller at Search Engine Strategies conference, continued from yesterday's Danny Sullivan Asks Barry Diller.
A special report from the Search Engine Strategies conference, February 27 - March 2, 2006, New York, NY.
Search Engines & Social Responsibility
When questioned on social and political issues as they intersect with his business operations, Diller offered nuanced takes.
His views on doing business in China were measured, giving credit to Google for weighing the good of increasing access to information against the drawbacks of seeming to condone a repressive regime. IAC operates several businesses in China, and he acknowledged that "in situations like this, you ask yourself whether you can stomach it—the word is stomach. Of course you might also want to say you would like their system to be as open as ours. Such is politics, not business." There are rarely simple formulas in either realm.
Speaking of good and evil, Sullivan asked Diller if he thought Ask needs a catchy slogan like Google's "don't be evil." Pausing for dramatic effect, Diller mustered an authoritative baritone for his reply: "Be Evil." The audience roared its approval.
At this point Diller was eager to turn the discussion back to the pragmatic side of search, suggesting an Ask slogan could be "use tools, be human," and insisting that as search evolved, the tools that are best for the job would evolve. "Search is an evolutionary process," he argued. "It's not simply ten blue links."
Diller was firm on the question of what he'd do if the government made further requests for private search data (as with the recent Department of Justice requests made of Google). "We would resist it." He added: "It's in the 1st amendment." He also reminded the audience of the wider context of business data and the responsibility data-centric businesses of many types have to protect customers from loss of privacy. Several IAC companies maintain large files of credit card data and other personal information about customers. "We have an absolute obligation to protect it. If we want people to trust us, we must uphold that duty. Privacy in this area is absolute."
Sullivan asked if Ask.com would privilege "its own verticals" on some search queries, as has been relatively common practice at Yahoo, MSN, and AOL, in particular. Diller's long answer added up to a yes, with a recognition that information that is too slanted would turn off searchers. Because IAC has "invested in the information," it would "give them that information where it advantages users," but ensuring that this "doesn't give them a bad experience." Savvy searchers will want other valuable information "to be there 'on par'."
Diller lit up when asked about the difference between search and the previous businesses he's run. "I functioned all my life in narrative, in telling stories, before I got into electronic retail," he said. What's different about search is that it's "not passive—it's interactive." Diller recalled: "The only epiphany in my life was coming to QVC in 1992 when I saw a screen being used in a different way. I'm never going to lose that curiosity."
Sullivan asked about what Diller's team looked at when they considered a potential acquisition in search. At first, Diller admitted, "we spent a long time thinking of search engines defensively—could they disintermediate Expedia, etc.—but next, we asked, 'is there an opportunity?'"
The opportunity, Diller maintains, is that no media business in history has held at 30-40% market share. This analysis, though, depends on whether you accept that search engines or web services companies are like 'media' businesses (so, a media mogul like Diller or Semel logically descends from the heights to manage one), or whether they're more like technology standards (so better run by uber-geeks like Gates and Schmidt). If Diller's right in his characterization, Ask is poised for growth.
