Both MSN and Yahoo now appear to be cataloguing internet like crazy trying to catch up, and over take, biggest search engine we all loving call Google.

As a web designer/web application builder and search engine optimisation fanatic I watch closely log files of my many websites. These files can tell you a host of things. One interesting thing to follow is visits your site gets from search engine bots (or spiders). These are automated parts of a search engine that travel around internet "reading" pages and deciding what they contain, how important they are, and how they sit in relation to other pages and sites in tangled web called internet.

MSN for one appears to be visiting all my sites very frequently. Most of time visiting up to twenty pages per visit. This compares to googles one to three pages when it can feel like it. Yahoo too seems to be doing same as MSN.

With these two search engines spidering internet like crazy, it could mean that google has to start worrying about its top spot.

This my friend, should start you thinking. If you own or run a web site, and search engine traffic is important to you, is it friendly to Yahoo/MSN two search engine spiders? Do they like same things Google does? If Google disappeared tomorrow, would your business still be able to exist?

Food for thought!

Affiliate Fuel pays both for leads and products sold, meaning you can actually earn commissions simply by referring people to a specific site. All person has to do is click on a link that you place on your website which is directed to a page with a form to fill out. The person fills out form requesting more info and bingo you are credited with referral and awarded a commission.

Websponsors is another affiliate program much same as Affiliate Fuel. These cost per action affiliate programs are great for adding revenue to your bottom line through your web site.

Last but not least Google ad sense has become so popular among webmasters you can see their ads on every other web site that you visit. With google you put ads on your site and you are actually paid every time someone clicks on those ads. In one month last August I made over $500 from Google ad sense alone.

Of coarse none of above mentioned affiliate programs will make you a single dime unless your site is generating significant targeted traffic. But if you are already generating good quality targeted traffic to your site give them a try. You will be surprised at just how easy it is to make money online with affiliate programs.
