Facts And Gossip
Affiliate Program News

If you're running affiliate programs on your site or thinking about doing so you may want to check this monthly feature in our WebGuide News Journal regularly. From facts, to rumors, to hints, and more... Here's a few tidbits from the streets...

Cory Rudl just launched another winning product to the Net! It's fantastic! It's the Total ECommerce Solution (that's the title and I have to agree with it). This product not only allows you to accept credit card transactions at your site with real time transaction processing but you also now have the option of getting a shopping cart system with it too! AND check out the prices! The merchant card service is the lowest one I've seen yet considering the services which come with it. Way to go Cory! All of you out there already signed up to his Marketing Program are automatically enrolled as Affiliates on this one too!

Declan Dunn has recently launched a new Affiliate Program - but it's not even closely related to his Affiliate Guide book (which by the way - if you're reading this article you must have your copy by now, right?? No??? Ummmmm... why not?). I found it unusual that he would choose to promote this new item to all his existing affiliates considering the majority of them are running sites totally unrelated. But then again, he is providing some strong incentives to everyone. Oh, and I did notice he's registered this one with BeFree.Com to attract a different harem of Affiliates perhaps? (I personally wish he would have chosen Commission Junction instead. It's a lot easier for me to work with getting my codes. Much faster servers for us hard working webmasters.)

Speaking of Commission Junction, did you hear about the recent investor, a bank no less, who has just dropped $7 Million into their bucket? Looks like this outfit is going to go far! I really like the new store builder they've just added for affiliates too. You can set up your own virtual mall, picking products from your selected merchants, and organizing it quickly and easily. Oh, and they've added internal email for us Affiliates too! Now, not only can we receive quick mail from merchants, but we have a quick method of writing them back too. And don't forget the new forum they set up for us. Looks like fun. I'll be joining in on the chat this fall.

LinkShare keeps running contests lately. Or is that their merchants? *G* Just kidding - it seems the whole site is always celebrating something. Have you ever been over there to check out their merchant line-up? I've recently been accepted for Disney.Com - a sure fire winner for the HomeLife Club coming soon to Time4me.Com. There are plenty more well known brand names on this site too. Have you registered with LinkShare yet?

Since this is our first on-line ap news and gossip article I'll keep it short. Stay tuned for more news from the trenches, er gutter, er... ummmm... street? Hey, if I was a stockbroker it would be street, right? But I'm just a lowly webmaster so I bet that would make it gutter. *lol* Just kidding! Come on gang, we work hard on this Net, don't we? Darn right we do! Can't wait until there are more people like Cory and Declan who pay us well for it.

See ya next update!
