what is url masking for affiliate marketing?

April 13, 2009 - 5:14 am 2 Comments

I heard that when affiliates "mask" url, it is better from the search engine perspective. It is less likely that my keywords will become inactive as google adword does not see this as a link to affiliate site. Is this true? Please explain.

I use a product called Super Affiliate Link Manager. There is a link in my profile. It takes your affiliate link and makes it pretty, short, and you can cloak it so that your affiliate ID cannot be removed.

People will find a way to get around it if they really want to but most of the time it isn't a problem.

Good luck and I hope you find your answer!

can you really get a grant for affiliate marketing?

April 12, 2009 - 1:43 am 1 Comment

Can you reallly get a government grant for affiliate marketing?

Grants are not given for affiliate marketing.

Grants are given if your company is involved in developing or exporting agricultural goods, including food and forest product. Another exception could be the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) or Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs http://www.sba.gov/aboutsba/sbaprograms/sbir/index.html , which fund the research and development of technological innovation that meets specific government needs.

Even SBA does NOT give out grants. From the SBA website http://www.sba.gov/mostrequesteditems/CON_FAQ2.html

"The U.S. Small Business Administration does not offer grants to start or expand small businesses, although it does offer a wide variety of loan programs. (See http://www.sba.gov/financing for more information) While SBA does offer some grant programs, these are generally designed to expand and enhance organizations that provide small business management, technical, or financial assistance. These grants generally support non-profit organizations, intermediary lending institutions, and state and local governments."

Nonetheless, you can go to the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) http://www.cfda.gov and Grants.gov http://www.grants.gov - these are two sites created by the federal government to provide transparency and information on grants. Browse through the listings and see if you can find any grant that would support a for-profit venture.

Here is a listing of federal grants for small businesses. See if there is any available for individuals for starting a business — THERE'S NONE.
http://12.46.245.173/pls/portal30/CATALOG.BROWSE_BENEF_RPT.show

Most of the federal grants are given to specific target groups with specific requirements (e.g. minority business owners involved in transportation related contracts emanating from DOT - Grant#20.905 Disadvantaged Business Enterprises Short Term Lending Program

Grants are also often given to non profit groups or organizations involved in training or other similar activities (grant 59.043 Women's Business Ownership Assistance that are given to those who will create women's business center that will train women entrepreneurs

What's the difference between affiliate marketing and multi-level-marketing?

April 10, 2009 - 11:11 pm 3 Comments


Affiliate Marketing is based on the percentage that your product merchant gives to you on making a sales. All income are solely based on the product sales.

Multi-Level marketing is based on the downlines you have. It is almost impossible to succeed with just you alone. The income are based on your earnings and your downlines earnings.

Are people actually making money doing affiliate marketing? If so, what is an example site?

April 8, 2009 - 7:42 pm 12 Comments

I am curious as to what a good affiliate website looks like. Send me yours if you like and I will check it out.

Links please.

The best program is through friendfinder, there is no fees or up front investments, its free to become an affiliate. you can track your stats in real time and they pay you $1.00 for everybody who signs up for a FREE account and even more for each person that pays for an account. You cant beat that. The link to sign up is http://friendfinder.com/go/g797150-brk

I make over $1000 a month and not that I'm all set up, I only put a few hours a month into it, you can make allot more if you put more time into it. And, they dont make you pay anything up front.

How much can I expect to make with affiliate marketing with my food site?

April 7, 2009 - 10:18 pm No Comments

I am about to launch a site that has lots of quick cooking lessons, as well as recipes, product recommendations, secret ingredients, etc. I will of course link to all the online food stores, equipment makers, ebay, etc.

My forcast is for several hundred hits a day, but possibly thousands.

Can anyone give me an idea of what I can expect?

Thanks!

Is this your first experience with affiliate marketing? From talking with other marketers and my own personal experience, affiliate marketing is a lot more difficult than it would seem at first glance. How much can I expect to make on an given affiliate marketing product is certainly a good question to ask. Unfortunately, it is not an easy question to answer.

There are many variables to consider as I would try to answer the question for myself, if I were in your place right now.

The first question I always ask myself is, "would I buy the product at the price listed?" If I would not buy it at the price, I have to ask myself "How much of a market is there for this product?" Obviously, I can't make money with affiliate products unless someone is willing to buy it.

I also want to know some background about the company and their financial and management history. If I am going to spend my time and money to promote a product, I want to know the company will be around for a long time.

If everything is fine so far, now we need to define exactly who makes up the target market or markets we want to reach and we need to know where the market segment spends their time on line. Even though we might say everyone should be interested in food, not everyone would be interested in cooking lessons and recipes.

I have listed only a few of the variables which will determine how much, if any, money you will make with a given affiliate marketing product or program. Others like your web site, well written marketing letters, advertising, followup and how many other people are marketing the same product or program, will also greatly affect how much you will make.

Once you put together the answers to all of these questions, you may still not know how much you will make, but those answers should give you a much better idea about whether or not you can make a profit with this venture.

I hope this helps. If you care to discuss this further, feel free to contact me through my 360.Yahoo site.

To Your Success.
