Affiliate Marketing- Dont Gor For Non Converting Websites

Here are some tips which will tell affiliates what they should expect and not expect from their marketers.

I consider that you are new to affiliate marketing and are willing to find out some interesting tips which will tell you what is good and what is not good for your affiliate program. Affiliate marketing programs are undoubtedly a good way of earning money online, provided it is done in the right manner.

One most important thing about affiliate marketing is that, the success of your affiliate website will entirely depend on the marketing and potential of the site, for which you are marketing. Websites that are not built properly, do not contain good products, is not rich in quality, will never be able to convert its visitors. Hence it is pointless, to have an affiliate network built for such websites. You will not only be wasting your money and time but will also spoil your name as an affiliate.

The job of an affiliate website is to promote the products of another website, so that they are able to generate leads. In this regard we can say that the affiliates too are a part of the main website and should be protected and saved by the marketed website. The marketer should provide promotional aids like banners, emails, ads to the affiliate websites. Also make sure that they follow a single payment method, to avoid confusions.

Affiliate marketing is a broad feature and requires a lot of patience, endurance and precision. Thats my perception of the whole thing.

Online Advertising- Making the Best of it

Online advertising is a huge market, the kind of potential it gathers is tremendous and amazingly broad. Lets have a look at how, marketers can make the best of online advertising.

Online advertising is primarily done to to promote websites online. Internet has now become a mainstream advertising medium, where a number of website owners are eagerly advertising in order to acquire good advertising returns from it. Discussed below in the blog are few facts on why online advertising is an essential aspect of onlibe business and what are the best ways of advertising online.

Online advertising has a lot of advantage to website owners. The first thing that it focuses on is traffic generation. Effective advertising ensures better traffic flow into the website, which thereby increases its sales scope. On the other hand, websites that utilize online advertising medium are able to target their ads to their specific users with the help of specific keywords.

The most popular technique of advertising online is through pay per click, which again has its own advantage. They are no doubt paide services, but the better part fo this deal is that payments are ncessarily made only after a click is generated and in many cases when a lead is obtained (also called the pay per action camapign.)

Considering the tremendous competition that these online marketers have to face, they are provided with a greater number of advertising facilities. Affiliate marketing is one such form of online advertising that extedns the scope on advertising on the internet to a great extent.

The scope of online advertising is tremendous, the competition too is high, but I believe that it is all part of the game, in fact it would be boring to attain success without competition. It is the competition that has added to the extra zing in the game.

Creative Content Writing Vs. Search Engine Marketing Content

Only a few will agree that there is great difference between writing for magazines, books and novels and writing for the search engines and website pages.

If you are a search engine marketing copy writer and have already served the creative writing media too, you will know what I am talking about. Once you are writing for the web it will not be easy for you to publish a book in three months. There is a lot of difference between the two kinds of writing.

Ever since, I began writing for search engine marketing, I have been strongly feeling that it would now be a tough task for me to write a poem or a story. The reason being that I have started thinking more technically now that how I use to think in my previous job as a creative writer.

Some of the more generic changes that I have come across as a search engine marketing writer include, being more concerned about keywords. I had never though of keywords before. My articles that were published in the magazines did not really require a keyword to be searched.

I had never thought of my titles to be click-able before. I always new that the headlines of the titles are the most attractive feature of an article, but my magazine headlines never though of being clicked. Here in search engine marketing content, which is submitted to various article directories. The worth of my article is evaluated on the number of clicks that it generates.

The search engine marketing articles have a specific word limit, and a set pattern in which it needs to be written. The 'inverted pyramid style.' to tell you the fact I never followed any such style of writing when I write for print, I followed my heart, wrote what I felt was to be written.

The best part about writing for search engines is that I am free to see the response that it is receiving. The number of people who are viewing it, reading it, sharing it or commenting on it. Man! It is such a great satisfaction. This is something which lacks in creative writing. Firstly I had to wait for weeks until my magazine was complete and was published, and then again wait for endless weeks hoping that someone is some part of the world is reading my piece and will comment by writing to us. But that happened very less, and when it did, it was a call for party day!

Come on, I dont mean to say creative writing is worthless, it has its own passion and creative instinct which is absent in search engine marketing. But I definitely say that the two are absolutely different from one another.

Go Internet- Go India Go

India has over 49 millions of users, out of which nine millions reside in the rural area! check out how this contributes towards the global online advertising ratio.

Recently when I was browsing through the net, I came across this amazing stats. India has as many as 49 million internet users. These statistics were launched by JuxtConsult an online research and advisory firm. The report really astonished me, and I was left wondering that out of these odd 49 million, the 40 million people who are from the urban states of the country, even if 20 million people would be indulging in online advertising, imagine the amount of ad spent that the country collectively contributes.

Phew! I am not too good at numbers but am definitely blessed with analytical skills, and can analyze that such great numbers are definitely unusual, and shall increase in ratio in the coming years too. Curious to know if this growth is really some matter of rejoice or was an expected growth, I did a little bit of more research and came across a yet another review which stated

“In 2009, advertising spending is predicted to grow of 4.9% worldwide, with the fastest-growing regions expected to be Asia Pacific and Latin America, with strong increases predicted for India, Indonesia and Argentina - at 21.2%, 22.3% and 15.0%, respectively.”

How Professional Are Your Web Application Development Company

Most web owners look for web application development providers who are professional and trained. But how professional are they? Lets find out.

Faking is increasingly infecting the internet. Companies are making fake promises Online in order to catch customers. And then extract money from them for porr services and at times no services. How many times have you heard of such cases and incidents. I have heard hundreds of them.

While most websites are looking for good web application development for their websites, there are several web service providers on the web who are faking their credibility Online to attract customers. In such a situation what exactly is the best way in which you can access the credibility of the service provider and ensure that your web application development is under safe hands.

Since ther is no other way in which you can judge the performance of a company, I believe the websites themselves are the best way in which you can access the credibility of the sites. Those websites who do not identify themselves openly are doubtful cases. The first thing that you need to check for any web application development provider is its 'about us' section. If they have clearly stated their company existence with an ready proof of address in their contact us section, you can suppose they are genuine.

The best way infact of judging the credibility of an application provider is to view their existing projects. Web application development providers who do not disclose their case studies can be doubted.

Once you have judged their credibility and you are confident of their existence, have spoken to their representatives and have viewed their projects. You can safely hand over your project to them. But while you do so make sure that you do keep your self in loop of its progress.

Risky websites are those websites that have issues relating to spyware, adware and other spiteful sites that can cause harm to your computers. More over the Scan search feature shall also be picking out websites that have been reported for email spamming.

Microsoft No More Interested in Yahoo

Microsoft's last bid of $5 billion was put down by Yahoo. Microsoft decided not to bid any further and refused to bid any further.

Until yesterday, Microsoft seemed quite eager to get Yahoo into their team. Talk on the deals had been on for quite some days when just a few days ago the conversation seemingly has come to an end finally. When Microsoft had placed it's first deal sometime in January 2008, Yahoo had rejected the offer calling it a 'substantial undervalue' to the company. But when the search engine wanted Microsoft to increase its latest $5 billion offer, it was Microsoft that stepped back this time.

Yahoo personnels state that they are open to the bid only if Microsoft keeps up to the search engine's value and the intereset of it's stakeholders. And on the other hand spokesperson from the Microsoft end, say that the economic demand stated by Yahoo is unexpectedly high hence, they decided to step out of the bid.

The Yahoo-Microsoft clash has been a hot topic of discussion for almost five months in the Online industry. Every one seemed concerned about the bid, and wanted to place their comment on it. Some said it would mean a stronger competition for Google, where as there were others who suggested that Yahoo will soon lose its identity if this merger took place, but now, when the bid is not taking place, not many mouths are opening. It seems this break up was a much expected one and people are sort of easy with the idea.

Microsoft Yahoo Google Verbatim

Microsoft Corp is trying to leave no stone unturned for the yahoo deal and it seems that in coming few days online marketing would experience a sea change. The software giant has offered a higher takeover bid in front of Yahoo Inc, hoping to reach a friendly deal after weeks of speculations. But still the chances are no better than 50-50.

Microsoft upped its offer beyond the original value of $44.6 billion, or $31 per share. The New York Times reports that Microsoft boosted the offer by several dollars per share, lending weight to the assertion by many market analysts that Microsoft can afford to pay up to $35 a share.

Even as Microsoft and Yahoo were talking, Yahoo was also talking with Google about a broader search advertising partnership. Now latest buzz is that if talks with Microsoft collapse then Yahoo will probably follow through with a Google deal which promises a paradigm shift for the whole Internet marketing scene. In fact in may also change the search engine marketing models.

Now the Internet marketing world is waiting impatiently for the final outcome of the talks among the three global leaders in their own fields which are Microsoft, Yahoo and Google.
