I seem to have this constant problem, especially with Linkshare programs..

“We regret to inform you that [insert program here] has chosen not to accept you into their affiliate program at this time. The reason for this decision may be as follows:

* Inability to access Web site
* Web site not yet live
* Inappropriate material on site

Please feel free to re-apply with [insert program here] whenever you feel you have been able to address the concern(s) listed above.”

First of all, My site IS accessible & live, and there isn’t a stitch of “Inappropriate material” on it. This is a problem I run into a lot with different Affiliate programs. I have a lot of sites.  I’ve added a lot of site since joining most of these programs so the the site listed as my primary site, may not be the one intended for their offers.

A really interesting story about a guy that built his $100 Mil per year company entirely on PPC Arbitrage.

A record $160-million VC investment. A rich Web strategy. A quirky founder. For a few weeks last spring, Guelph, Ont.’s Geosign had it all. Then mighty Google stirred. And it was over.

I got this email from my Hosting Company 1&1 the other day. Now I don’t monitor them every second of every day but can honestly say that in the 4 years I’ve been using them I have not seen any down time on my sites.

In the multitude of forums I browse every day I see a lot of people asking which host they should use or where they can get cheap hosting. well you can get it at 1&1 !
I have two hosting packages with them and they offer a ton of tools you can use for your site. My favorite is the integrated Google Web Master Tools. I’ve run just about every blog and CMS system on their servers with no problems whatsoever.

The other thing I liked were the all the vouchers you get for Ad Words, Yahoo Search Marketing and MS Ad Center, $200 total. If you’re just starting in affiliate marketing and looking to do it on the cheap it’s a great deal. Take the $200 in vouchers, Couple that with 3 months free hosting and two included domains and you’re already $230 ahead of the game. By the time it starts costing you anything at all, you can be up and running and making more than enough co pay for it.

Click the more link so see the features that you get with this package. You can always add features later if you decide you need more, but I doubt you will.

I’ve had this Landing page / Site template sitting around for some time. I honestly can’t remember where I got it.
I see people selling these for $40 - $60 and think it’s pretty ridiculous. Something like this can be created in about 20 minutes.

I don’t use it for anything ( not that I won’t in the future) and it’s not exclusive so if you’re worried about that, don’t bother.
You can see a demo of the page here (demos are no longer working), Obviously there’s no content. You’ll have to do that your self. It would be pretty simple to add or remove pages or customize it any way you like.

I’ve validated it at W3C and it has no errors.
The download link will be at the bottom of this post but just want to get the FAQ out of the way so here it is…

• Q: Will you help me set this up or support this in the future?
• A: Absolutely not! It’s free, what more do you want? If you want to use it feel free, but once you download it, I don’t ever want to hear from you about something being broken or questions on how to do something. Take it, and go away.

It may not last long depending on how many down loads there are. Bandwidth isn’t free ya know. Anyway, you can Download it Here, Enjoy!

I’ve created yet another in my series of wordpress affiliate shops. I’m not quite sure why I chose flowers for this theme. I don’t promote any flower programs, Of course I don’t promote any tech merchandise either for my other shop. It’s just what came to mind as I was doing it.

This one looks fine so far in IE7 and Firefox but is a little off kilter in IE6. I’m not sure why at this point, It valiated just fine, at least until I add the content but regardless, I’ll fix that later.

It’s done the same as my other two where optional excerpts are used for the product listings and full posts for the descriptions and buy now links. This one only has one category and a few products just to give an idea of how it looks. I’d rather spend my time working on functionality than loading it with product information that means nothing to me.

This one is not widget ready so it’s a little more work, not much, but a little. Maybe I’ll fix that too. Eventually these will all get their own page here, probably after I get the other two I’m working on up and running. Now I just need to figure out what it is I want to use them for.

Here is the link again Wordpress Affiliate shop 3
