    Total frustration

    As I said in earlier posts, my partner passed away recently and I have taken over the affiliates side of the business. We have about 15 affiliate accounts and the changeover means I have to change the information in the profiles. To complicate matters, my partner's widow is moving and won't be...

    Affiliates wish - or reality?

    We all see merchants advertising their offers through several affiliate networks, and the payout varies depending on where you go. I would like to see a search engine that would sift through the various affiliates networks' offers to find the highest payout (or other criteria). Sort of like the...

    Affiliate network, or direct merchant?

    Occasionally, I receive an offer from a merchant to join their affiliate program. Recently Vistaprint sent me an invitation, but I know they affiliated with several networks. Do affiliates receive a better fee dealing direct, or through the networks?

    Does Google have affiliate managers

    My late partner was maintaining the affiliate accounts, including our Google stuff, and he left me with a flawed password. So now I can't get in and view the account, and can't retrieve the password info because he set up some proprietary info. If I'm to be paid something the check will go to a...

    What is it about geeks?

    The coders I'm using - a team from Pakistan that I hired through Rent-A-Coder - seem to be good coders but amazingly non-communicative. I had to put the project into arbitration to get a simple response from them regarding an important issue, and once they finally growled back a response, the...

    Will trade content writing for graphics work

    I am an experienced writer, and would like to trade my skills for those who can do some graphic touch up work at my site. Most of the work is done, but my greatest need at the moment is a giveaways page rehab, including some php loaded onto the page, three adsense tables and a small table with a...

    How many sites do you have?

    How many sites are you running right now, and which niches are paying the best? Do you think it's a better move to concentrate more effort on fewer sites, or spread out wide and thin? Is one ever enough?

    An affiliates story

    I may be a noob, but I have an affiliates story to share. In fact, this is what inspired me to get into the business. My late partner was the affiliates manager for Online-Sweepstakes.com, a sweeps site that he said gets 19 million hits a month. The webmaster/site owner is from many accounts a...

    Anybody running an affiliates business with a Mac?

    I use a Mini and a Macbook. So far, no problems, but wondering if I should download Boot Camp and install Windoze on my Macs so I have access to all software. Everything I have to access online has been cross-platform, as the internet is the great equalizer.

    How do I post affiliate links at my site?

    My late partner was the affiliates guy, and he did the link posting. I was left holding the bag when he died, and not so sure that I post affiliate links properly. I know how to get the image to show, but I have been getting credit for leads, not clicks. How is it done properly? Yes, I do get...

    Value-of-domains-with-a-hyphen

    Do think domains with a hyphen are worth less than an unhyphenated one? The hyphen makes the name easier to read, but the surfer may forget to insert it, which makes it a draw for me. As I mentioned in an earlier thread, I own a domain called new-apartment.com. That's a hella good name to me...

    Nearly-noob needs advice

    I'm new to the affiliates business, and had to face something I hope none of you ever have to deal with. My business partner suddenly passed away last month, leaving a wife, kids and our under-developed business with a befuddled partner (me). I brought a site concept idea and a little cash -- he...
