How To Make An Affilliate Store With Affilistore And Datafeeds

By Simonne on May 29, 2008 under Affiliate programs

Affiliate stores have a big advantage: once you do the initial setup and link building, they are pretty much the “set and forget” type of businesses, unlike blogs which require content, and good content, and even better content, and still bring you barely any income.

Affiliates stores can be produced in many ways, from writing your own mysql and php based code, to using dedicated scripts like BANS for eBay affiliate shops, or Associate-o-Matic for Amazon affiliate stores, or Affilistore 2.0 for datafeed-based affiliate stores.

This is a video tutorial of setting up an affiliate store using the following elements:

Info Domains Are Just Horrible, Stay Away From Them!

By Simonne on May 12, 2008 under General

Do you believe that .info domains are not so good?

While you think twice, let’s take a look online:

CSS3.info: All You Ever Needed To Know About CSS

PR: 8
Alexa Rank: 128,354
Compete Rank: 114,138 with 13,240 U.S. visitors per month
Date established: May 2006

So, over a two year period, css3.info scores much better than many older .com domains. How did they achieve this? Simply by telling people what they ever needed to know about CSS.

GoDaddy Stops Selling .Info Domains

By Simonne on Apr 30, 2008 under General

You probably know and have already benefited from GoDaddy’s promotion for .info domains at the price of $0.99, which has been active for quite a while.

Well, if you had your share of cheap info domain names be happy: as of today, GoDaddy doesn’t sell info domain names anymore. Not only the promotional price is gone, but the .info extension is not available anymore at any price.

As I intended to make another serious info domain names purchase this morning, I tried to find other registrars with promotions. Of course all GoDaddy resellers were affected, none of them offering .info domains anymore.

How To Build Amazon Affiliate Niche Stores

By Simonne on Apr 23, 2008 under Reviews

Affiliate niche stores can be a good source of online income, if set up properly. The concept is simple: pick a niche, get a script to pull the products list from the merchant, make a nice layout, promote your affiliate niche store and enjoy the profits.

In reality, first of all you need to be approved by the merchants or by the affiliate networks where you are going to get the products from. An excellent option is eBay Partners Network, which allows you to sell eBay products from your affiliate store and get paid commissions. The best software for building eBay niche stores is called BANS (Build A Niche Store). It costs $97 and you can build unlimited number of stores. If you want to know more about working eBay affiliate niche stores, check out Vic’s tutorial on how to build a BANS store. You could also browse through his older posts, in order to find out more about keyword research and niche narrowing strategy.

Is eBay Willing To Make Money With Everyone?

At first sight, eBay Partners Network seems to be warmly inviting everyone to join. Aren’t we all equal? Indeed we are, but some of us are more equal than others. Fact is that Romania is set up on automatic rejection in EPN (eBay Partners Network). If you dare to argue that, you’ll end up in infinite passing shots from one client service executive to another, until they make it clear that you are not wanted, regardless your experience, your knowledge or your 20 BANS sites built just to give them an example of what you can do to help them make more money. They simply don’t want you in, it’s their business and they don’t feel like explaining you the reasons.
