The store gets publicity - not clerk. Same with affiliate programs.

If you, affiliate, steers someone to a certain book and they buy it, they will say they got it from ABC Marketer - not you (the affiliate) who really did most of work, rounding up buyer and sending them to marketer.

Why do they remember store, affiliate owner, name of a car dealership, etc. and not salesman? Because book, store, auto dealership are branded - they are usually a household name.

There lies difference in affiliate programs and this new marketing concept. Now, you can be branded - now you can be known. Now you can get publicity.

Why get publicity? Because publicity = $$$$. Plus you get to keep 100% of sale up front and your links in books keep making money for you!

Are you beginning to see difference? You are "owner", your name and links are in book, for all time, as long as that book exists.

You don't get paid just one time, but perhaps many, many times - one year, two years, even five years down road, as more and more people see, read and click on your links in book.

Furthermore, remember that book we talked about at beginning? That big-all-encompassing book that would tell you everything you needed to know about Internet marketing, and ended up on shelf only partly read and not understood. Well, as I said, now you can learn while you earn.

You see, each of books you receive from your association covers one subject - in depth, not just a quick skim. So you can master one part of Internet Marketing at a time. At same time you will be earning and building your business, your future.

This is new revolution, but it won't be new for long. So if I were you I'd get me a big piece of this pie while it's fresh.

I've found two good ones so far and I have them on my site. There may be others - if not, there will be. I know I'm getting in on start. I like to get my piece of pie when it's hot. Better check this out before your piece of pie gets cold.

6. Monitor your website statistics – usually your webhost should enable raw statistics, but any good sitemeter should be able to provide this information:

- Who is visiting your website? - Where are they coming from? - How much time they are spending? - Which pages they are clicking to? - And whole lots more.

Again this is very essential.

7. Track Your links - This is single most important factor that can give an instant boost to your advertising efforts. you need to know:

- Which ads are pulling? - Where are your buying customers coming from? - How many files/ebooks/software are being down loaded from your site? - Who is clicking on your links – IP address of your clients? - How much traffic you are sending to some one?

Any good link tracker should be able to provide this information.

8. Keep tabs on your web-host`s performance – You need to know:
