Best Affiliate Marketing Networks

I thought I should compile a list of some of the best affiliate networks to help some of you who were wondering where to start looking for affiliate programs.

The following list is not exhaustive as I have only listed Affiliate Marketing Networks that I think are of interest. Feel free to add some others if you think I have missed important ones.

200$ Profit from Amazon

As Promised I had a look at the number and so far my Blasts brought in 200$ in Profit, not great but not bad either when you take into account that those profits can be recurrent, as long as those products sell and the competition is not too fierce.

It definitively makes me wanna go for more Amazon Blasts in the near future!!

100 Amazon Blasts before the end of the Month

Who said Direct Linking when doing Affiliate Marketing is dead?

I have been doing some direct Linking on Amazon France for a while now and regularly got around 100$ profit each month doing so. But I always had an average of 15 Produtcs in my portfolio that I was promoting to.

So I’m thinking to myself “If I can make a hundred bucks with 15 products, how much could I make with 100 Products?”. Sounds logical enough right?

So starting today I will launch as many Blasts as I can to reach this 100 products goal in less than 10 Days.

Wish Me Luck! I will keep you posted on the results.

Google Shadow, is it just Hype? A Sales Page Review.

Eric — Wed, 11 Feb 2009 04:58:55 +0000

WARNING: You won’t find any affiliate link to Google Shadow here as I don’t want to promote a Product I haven’t myself tested yet.

Google Shadow, the new product of Chris X, the man behind DayJobKiller and Affiliate Project X is out and everybody’s and their mother is trying to stick it down your throat. I have personally unsubscribed to some so-called “Guru” list just because they were promoting it agressively without even giving you a good reason enough to buy.

So what is this all about? Let’s go through the Sales Page first.

After some Introductions we are being shown the usual BIG Commission numbers

$127,783 in 30 days

But, as always, they don’t provide us with their Google expenses so we do not know what the real profits are.

Then Chris shows us some “Hidden Google Profits:

Get $15 for each iPod Sale by Amazon. Nothing new here, thousands of people are doing Direct-linking to Amazon products. The problem is, Amazon has a 1-day cookie period so if you do not do the sales immediately (a lot of people don’t) then you lose your money. I’m not saying it is impossible but it is very difficult to make lots of money with this system
Make money by selling their e-book: again self-promotion we sell their ebook and theyt are making even more money. This is like the infamous SMSMFM by Frank Kern (more of that in another post)
Get $24 for every FreeCredit Report sign up. This is basically direct linking to CPA offers. It can indeed be profitable but nothing revolutionary here.

After some more hype we are introduced to the meat system and I have to say it starts to finally sound interesting. According to them their system can Pinpoint the best Affiliate Programs out there (the Winners). Not a lot of details there unfortunately about this software.

Chris then give us the main “Pains” affiliate have to deal with: namely spending too much money and not getting any or too few sales. With Google Shadow you spend less money on less keywords.

Chris introduces us to the membership now which is the main reason behing this launch I would guess. So what do we get exactly:

The ebook about making money with Google (nothing new here)
The software to automate and discover profitable campaigns (cannot say if it is worth it or not)
The monthly google case secrets study course (probably not worth the monthly price tag but who knows?)

PRICE TAG: $67/Month.

CONCLUSION: There is a 56-day back guarantee so you could always try it for a month and if you are not convinced, get your money back. I don’t think there is anything revoltionary going on here but I could be wrong. I would recommend you to try out Campaign Blasting if you want a proven system to generate money with Google through Direct Linking.

If any of you out there purchases Google Shadow please leave your feedback and share your Experience.
