Ask questions first before you join an affiliate program. Do a little research about the choices of program that you intend to join into. Get some answers because they will be the deciding point of what you will be achieving later on.

Will it cost you anything to join? Most affiliate programs being offered today are absolutely free of charge. So why settle for those that charge you some dollars before joining.

When do they issue the commission checks? Every program is different. Some issue their checks once a month, every quarter, etc. Select the one that is suited to your payment time choice. Many affiliate programs are setting a minimum earned commission amount that an affiliate must meet or exceed in order for their checks to be issued.

What is the hit per sale ratio? This is the average number of hits to a banner or text link it takes to generate a sale based on all affiliate statistics. This factor is extremely important because this will tell you how much traffic you must generate before you can earn a commission from the sale.

How are referrals from an affiliate’s site tracked and for how long do they remain in the system? You need to be confident on the program enough to track those people you refer from your site. This is the only way that you can credit for a sale. The period of time that those people stay in the system is also important. This is because some visitors do not buy initially but may want to return later to make the purchase. Know if you will still get credit for the sale if it is done some months from a certain day.

What are the kinds of affiliate stats available? Your choice of affiliate program should be capable of offering detailed stats. They should be available online anytime you decide to check them out. Constantly checking your individual stats is important to know how many impressions, hits and sales are already generated from your site. Impressions are the number of times the banner or text link was viewed by a visitor of your site. A hit is the one clicking on the banner or text links.

Does the affiliate program also pay for the hits and impressions besides the commissions on sales? It is important that impressions and hits are also paid, as this will add to the earnings you get from the sales commission. This is especially important if the program you are in offers low sales to be able to hit ratio.

Who is the online retailer? Find out whom you are doing business with to know if it is really a solid company. Know the products they are selling and the average amount they are achieving. The more you know about the retailer offering you the affiliate program, the easier it will be for you to know if that program is really for you and your site.

Is the affiliate a one tier or two tier program? A single tier program pays you only for the business you yourself have generated. A two tier program pays you for the business, plus it also pays you a commission on the on the sales generated by any affiliate you sponsor in your program. Some two-tier programs are even paying small fees on each new affiliate you sponsor. More like a recruitment fee.

Lastly, what is the amount of commission paid? 5% – 20% is the commission paid by most programs. .01% – .05% is the amount paid for each hit. If you find a program that also pays for impressions, the amount paid is not much at all. As you can see from the figures, you will now understand why the average sales amount and hit to sale ratio is important.

These are just some of the questions that needed answering first before you enter into an affiliate program. You should be familiar with the many important aspects that your chosen program should have before incorporating them into your website. Try to ask your affiliate program choices these questions. These can help you select the right program for you site from among the many available.

Why so early ,I have only one page?
It doesn’t matter … There are so many web sites which has only one page. But they get huge traffic.Some sites are selling for $10000 in ebay.

When you develop your site , your page will rapidly changing…When you submit your site to search engines , SE crawlers are crawl your site time to time.
If your site content is frequently changing,crawlers visit the site frequently. So your site will get good rank.

Rank – this is the position in search engine that your site has for a given keyword.
eg- if you do affiliate marketing site , when search affiliate marketing in search engine , what is the position that your site get in that search engine.

crawlers – are automated programs that visit sites and collect site detail on be half of search engines.

Google bot – Google search engine
Yahoo slurps – Yahoo search engine
Msn bot – MSN search engine

What is robots.txt ?
This is just a text file that resides your home directory. Anyone can view this like below.
http://yourdomainname.com/robots.txt

Mainly this use to restrict unwanted crawlers.
eg:

Why we stop these bots ? When you get hosting package, most of the times, you will get limited bandwidth for a month. So why do you waist your bandwith for useless bots.

What is the next step ? Drive traffic
What are the methods ?

best way is natural search enging traffic
link exchange
Signature of forum post.
Guest books.
Answer forum questions the area what you have knowledge.Put up a web page on your site about the answer.
Paid traffic. – I will talk later, currently you don’t need to do this since your site doesn’t have any earning ways.

If you have unique content you will get SE traffic and others will put your links on their sites/forums as a references,examples.

unique content about what? anything that you like,anything that you can talk for days.

Eg – music , movies , latest news,about you,about your country put your thoughts about anything you like.

What is the fist earning method ,
if you are a new to this field, do not spend money till you familier this field.
So use PPC ads to earn money .

Adsense – Must do
adbrite -
adsonar -
yahoo publishers network -USA Only
(need reviews)

Register with adsense and they will review your site to verify it is running without under construction pages.
After they approve it just login to adsense backoffice and create ads to suite your site.
You can costomize size and colors of the ad…
after that generate the ad code and past on your pages.

Tips- never click on your own ads , never ask others to do so.

Ok. Now don’t waist time… create atleat a page for a day .Before that you need to think about this.
If you create page a day ..you will have 365 pages at the end of the year .Imagine if you need to
change the background color of every page…
I faced the same issue … what is the solution??
Use dynamic web pages . Use One or few templates. All the content should be saved in a database.
Use mod_rewrite to shaw these dynamic pages as static htmls.
I’ll show you how to do in steps now.

I use for this example php/mysql , but you can use this concept with any other alternative.

Sql script to create db with records.

<?
$_GET[]

select from db

?>

Use mod rewrite

Create backoffice to feed data to the DB

You can even use any open source tools for content mgmt …But those are very common and there are so many web sites with the same template.So I prefer my own way.

Try this new idea-
when you search any error about java/oracle/asp etc.

ReviewMe is a very good stable income. Because If you write review, you will get money. You don’t need to wait till visitors coming to your site and click on your ads. If you work hard ,you can earn a lot.

Now I realize there are more ways to earn money from the net.  Another specialty of ReviewMe is , it accepts international blog publisher , also you can select payment method as check.

Now I’m in a process of searching new revenue streams. I’ll be posting another few  revenue methods in near future.Do not put all your eggs to one basket. It is very risky

Is that only thing to earn money? No

There are lots of alternative PPC programs. But all of these programs, you need to have good  web traffic. But all webmasters are not getting huge traffic. So if you are a new webmaster or if your blog getting little traffic this is the stable review stream that you are looking for.

Also if you  are not a webmaster ,still you can earn money with out spending money. You just need to setup blog . That is Free and easy. I’ll explain that how to setup blog in the future.

ReviewMe   is the best way to earn money , if you can type reviews about product/services .ReviewMe  site pay minimum $5 for a review. you have to write at least 200 words.

I earn around  $ 100 last month . That is extra money . Since you write unique content , eventually your site gets lots of SEO traffic and you can put any other PPC programs such as Adsense /Adbrite etc.

Always there are new innovations and ideas coming to the web. Here is what I found today. I think this is a good multiple revenue generation scheme. The main purpose is driving traffic to web sites.This is a Unique Website Promotion and no one has used this technique before.

http://www.milliondollardig.com site provides fully customize traffic page for you .It cost only $100. Advertisers fully control when and what links to their traffic pages. Advertisement revenue, generated from their traffic pages own by the advertiser/owner of that page. Therefore other than the inbound links that generates traffic, you have extra review from advertisement that is display on the traffic page.

Not only that. Advertisers can sale their traffic pages anytime without paying anything to Million$Dig. We all know once we setup a page with good keyword that eventually get high Google page rank and also getting SEO traffic from search engines. Once you get good page rank , you can sell full page for a good price.

This is a good revenue generating idea and no one has implemented before. Also no one can copy this method due to this site is under pending patent.

Other than that this site provides point scheme and grand price. Million$Dig also provides social web tools like inviting friends and creating social networks etc.

This can generate mote traffic to the site and the traffic page.

I think this would be good investment for the future since this is the growing state of this method. When the demand goes high and once full patent obtained, join fee can be go up. So better to buy now a page for $100 if you searching a profitable investment.

According to above his no. one revenue stream is Google adsense. He should have massive traffic to earn this much money. Also I have noticed some new earning income streams as  well. I’m sure you too see some of these for the first time.

Anyway we must thank these people to share their revenue statistics with us.

Here is another popular persons revenue breakups.

John Chow Dot Com

This guy needs no introduction. John has published his income for July 2007. Figures for last month are in brackets

• Affiliate Sales: $4,344.82 ($3,213.02)
• ReviewMe: $2,600.00 ($3,800.00)
• Text Link Ads: $2,056.63 ($1,506.71)

• Subscription: $70.00 ($70.00)

Grand Total: $12,406.76 ($12,569.61)

Major difference of these two report is ConnectedInternet.co.uk ’s  no one revenue stream is Google adsense.

But it’s fifth place in John Chow Dot Com  . So the moral of these reports is you don’t need totally rely on one revenue stream. “Do not put your all eggs in one basket”.

Now a days we can see plenty of ppl post  that saying  thire adsense account banned..

So here is the solution for that. Both are earning good revenue from Text Link Ads . But don’t know the future of it since Google is cracking down paid links .

But affiliate marketing is stable and steady income stream. To get revenue you have to analyze the market trend closely and need to spend some money also.

So I recommend affiliate marketing for full time internet marketers.

Different people have different skills … All of us can’t earn such money. But If you identify your familiar area … Sky is the limit…

So try above those revenue streams and let me know your successes and failures.

But know one knows their payment pattern . Everyone register with it because it is FREE.

But it never tells how much I have earned (dollars) . It shows only the points.But no one tell the truth. Because they need more siblings under them to earn more points,Coz when ever they change points to money , they will earn a lot.

We can’t view our account balance or payment dates. No one got paid yet .

You can sell these items through your websites.You can earn affiliate money without having your own websites. Over 10,000 publishers enroll with clickbank.

Below sample explains how people earn affiliate commission from clickbank without having their own websites.

Above adblocks were in Google adwords ads . When I search “clickbank money” from Google it appeared.When you right click on this second ad block and you will see the real URL is now blackmask.com. It is so http://xxxx.cashmask.hop.clickbank.net . This is an affiliate url.

Since the commission is high these affiliate spends lots of money for ppc adds .Thats this ad was in the top of the page.

If you need to earn money from clickbank , Just register with it and check the fast moving product from clickbank . Then you can start pay-par-click /Adword campaign.

Also you can identify good clickbank products by checking google ads,like I did above.

When you check few days in Google for particular keyword, If you find same affiliate clickbank url in top position ,that means he earns a lot from that product, thats why he spent a lot for marketing.
