Affiliate Marketing: Does Structure Matter?
Affiliate marketing has been around almost as long as the Web itself. Well, since the World Wide Web, anyway. Essentially, your affiliates are your sales people. They bring you business. You should treat them well. From what I've seen, the best affiliate programs do three things: Compensate performance generously Reward recruiters Provide marketing collateral for the affiliates You have to make affiliate efforts worth your affiliates' time. What that means is compensation must be commensurate with the amount of time and energy your affiliates put into promoting you. That will be different from product to product, service to service, and between products and services. Generally, though, you want to compensate your affiliates with generous commissions.

PPC Campaigns: How To Choose Where To Place Your Ads

Google has captured more than 50% of the search market in the U.S. In the UK, 75% of searches are conducted on Google. But keep in mind that those are individual searches. Yahoo, by contrast, second in number of searches in the U.S., has more than 50% of search traffic. I hope you see the difference. Yahoo is the most visited website CLICK HERE TO READ MORE...
