Overture clearly is missing out on a huge revenue source by limiting program participants. The rational behind its selectivity is most likely fact that its contextual advertising program relies heavily on Overture's editorial team to avoid poor matches that a technology-dependant approach inevitably produces. As an example, according to statements released at time of program’s launch by Bill Demas, Overture's Senior Vice President, without editorial intervention a story about a person stabbed to death could easily carry knife advertisements.

While Overture is missing out on significant revenues, web publishers are also missing out by Overture’s non-participation. This is because, if more web publishers were able to choose between AdSense and Overture’s programs, Google would be forced to become more aggressive with percentage split that it gives AdSense publishers. While it has been reported that big Google partners such as AOL.com receive 80% of revenue per click generated by Google ads, AdSense publishers report figures in 10% to 50% range.

So, web publishers should really begin pushing Overture to open up its contextual advertising program as web publishers, and potentially Overture/Yahoo!’s shareholders, could reap significant financial benefits.

If question is technical in nature or beyond your expertise, please say so to your affiliates, and refer affiliate to your upline leaders, corporate support, websites, or online forums for more information. There is nothing wrong in showing them where they can get more info if you can't provide that info yourself.

This is ok... after all, network marketing is supposed to be all about teamwork, right?

Don't recommend anything you've not personally tried yourself. Don't teach anything you're not sure about. Don't make up stories. Don't fake figures. Don't fake your emotions. Don’t give false hope.

Most importantly, don't doubt relevance and significance of your own knowledge. Confucius said that "If three men walk with me, one can be my teacher". We can all learn from each other, and thinking otherwise is a mistake. It’s only your way of thinking that stops you from sharing and touching another human being in a sincere way. And you’ll need to change that in order to be successful in MLM.

You cannot, and probably should not, teach someone about road ahead of you, no matter how many books you’ve read, and how many seminars you’ve attended. However, you can always look back at road behind you and teach them how to get to where you are.

So share your knowledge with everyone if your team. There is always something that they can learn from you, and there is always a way you can help them to duplicate your efforts.

How many have you helped this week...?
