Target Audience

Maybe I am crazy, but when your surfing a website about lets say cheat codes for latest console or PC games, there is no way in hell your going to buy a 22.5ft garden hose, especially if it doesn't come with one of those lawn sprinkler things. If anything you will frown upon site and company that makes it for being so uncreative in trying to win your dollar. First of all if your a company that makes 22.5ft garden hoses then you should be advertising on gardening website's, and if your a webmaster with a website dedicated to gaming, you should base your advertisements around games. Maybe, just maybe I'm crazy but I honestly believe that you will make almost nothing if your advertising wrong product on wrong site.(unless little angus's grandmother is screaming in his ear to buy a 22.5ft garden hose for her while he is surfing a cheat code website)

The message in this section is to advertise something your target audience will be interested in, or else guaranteed you will not be successful with that program or not as successful as you would with something your surfers would be interested in.

A helping hand

A good way to tell if a program is reliable is to pretend your "clue-less" about program and find out as much as you can, if all your questions are answered in FAQ and Support areas of website, then it should be a good program, but if they don't take time to help you and you have unanswered questions, what does that say about program? Another excellent indicator is if they reply to your emails, if they actually help you then that means that they do care about people who are participating in their program(s), which makes them reliable. So when you do have a question that cant wait or is really important they will actually help you.

Thank you very much for your time, I hope you enjoyed reading this article as much as possible.
