I am an online entrepreneur living in California with my wife and two kids, building my affiliate marketing business and concocting online business ideas every day.
For Clickbank, I will agree with both JC and Michelle, but for other affiliate programs that says the cookie life is 90 days or so - the one who gets the credit sometimes (at least in my experience) is the previous affiliate's cookie. As long as the cookie is still within its lifespan of 90 days or whatever the setting was.
Maybe Mark can tell us his experience...

Thanks Renato, it does make sense, what if you are only writing these articles for the sake of getting backlinks?

Ruchi,
You can do that but I wont recommend it - mainly because the backlink is pretty much useless. The backlink may come from an article directory with high PR but remember that each internal page of a website is graded by Google individually, so it has its own Page Rank. If Google is not including your article because it sees that it can show a more relevant article/website based on what the searcher is looking for then Google already marked your article/site not to be shown for specific searches. This is because there is a more relevant article which happen to have been published ahead of your article and Google is considering that as the "original".
When Google has determined that your article has almost the same content with another article that it considers original then your article will not get "Google love" - your article page will therefore have low or No PR at all, rendering the backlink to your site useless.
Anyone is welcome to correct me if what I said is not accurate.

Renato

Chants,
Dont complicate things. Very few traffic comes from domains that have the keyword and the searcher directly types in the domain name in the browser. If you have a plan to optimize the domain name just for the purpose of the visitor landing on your main website then you might as well just focus on optimizing your main website.

Ruchi,
Mark and Google are both correct. Google just doesnt call it duplicate content penalty. But based on the video the guy was saying that it is more of per query and that they show the most relevant or unique or something to that effect. Essentially, the search results will really just show the unique relevant websites/articles to the person searching for something in particular. So if you submit the same article or even if you submit an original article and a rewritten version with low uniqueness, then google will just show the most relevant to the searcher.
As marketers, if we want to have our articles ranking/showing in the top results then we have to make sure that they are unique, otherwise there's a high chance that google might exclude it from the results. Does that make sense?

In that case, I might have to re-activate my premium membership! I'll wait for update regarding this tool. =) Friday, March 12th, 2010
Nick,
I dont think it's a security reason.
I think you heard that some where and what they meant was do not install the new wordpress blog or the new website in your root directory cause it will overwrite your website that is published for your main domain that is associated with your hosting account.
For example, your hosting account is for the domain www.mydomain.com. The hosting is unlimited. Therefore you can buy domains only, point them to your hosting DNS and then addon the domain names. Then for you to install the blog or publish a website for each of these new domains you have to do so in their respective directories - these will not be in the index or root folder of your main domain which is www.mydomain.com. If you look in your server files these would be in www.mydomain.com/public_html/newdomainname

Hi Nick,
Yep it is pretty basic. You just have to go to your hostgator cpanel and scroll down to see "addon domain". Add your domain for the blog.
Make sure that the DNS (domain name server) of the domain is pointed to the DNS of your hosting account. Once both of these are satisfied then you can login to your server (I use filezilla) and you will see the directory/folder named after your domain that you added.
You can now go to your cpanel again and this time click on "fantastico". Choose wordpress on the left navigation and then it is self explanatory from that point. If you have any difficulty shoot me an email or reply to this post.

Renato

Hi Chris,
I agree with you for the most part regarding relevancy. However, isn't there any exception to this?
I have heard that some affiliates marketing in the dating/how to get a girl niche advertise on content network on the gaming and tech websites. They distract the site visitor with their ads (although not related) and they do this because the profile of people they are targeting are the ones who are "nerdy" (No offense meant to anyone reading this. I just read this somewhere.), those ones who spend most of their time on computers and have no time for women but would love to get one.
I'd like to get you view on this.
Thanks.
Regards,
Renato

He has only 2 staff? And he makes 2 mil a year? I know he makes millions but I didn't know he has only about 2 staff! That is crazy! Commented on Friday, October 16th, 2009
Hi Mark,
This is a very good post. I hope that a lot of the forum members will be able to attend the webinar. I sure wish I can but I am at work until 5PM PST! I'm sure you will have a recording of it so I'd still be able to learn from this webinar.
It sure made me smile to see that my home country Philippines is one of the top countries to outsource to!

Hi Mark,
Yeah, Kunaki is more of a simple fulfillment company more focused on CDs and DVDs. I just thought that I shared that with you cause it is the one used by some of the students of Russell Brunson using the Micro-Continuity business model to ship out their Free CDs. I am actually going to use Kunaki.com for the product I am developing in the leadership/management market. Disk.com is what StomperNet uses, but you've not been impressed...I will let you know if I come across a company that maybe within the quality standard you're looking for.
Have a good day!
Renato
