A thief indeed - and he’s out to steal your site!
Well, not if you get there first!
Grab yourself a piece of this action from top internet marketer Harris Fellman while it’s still hot off the press. Then you can learn how the big boys do it and legally get away with stealing the best bits from their rivals’ sites and using them for their own businesses.
Quite profitably too!
In fact it’s one of the quickest ways to make money online and all the top marketers are doing it. To you. To each other. To everyone else. All the time.
If you are interested to find out how to get your hands on this clever piece of inside information, you’ll have to click on the image to have a look at the website.
Otherwise you might end up losing out to your neighbour who did.
And just stole your site!
Happy hunting!

THE HONEST WAY
Creativity is one virtue that any website must have to lead the race in the competition in Internet based business. With so much competition and rivalry appearing at every turn, every marketing technique must be employed and utilized.
It doesn’t matter if you have a brilliant product or a fantastic website. If people don’t know you exist, it doesn’t matter at all! You won’t make it to the big time. Worse, your business could simply keel over and die.
While there are many methods and techniques used by e-commerce sites these days, there are still some of those that can help you with an extra leg-up in the popularity ratings. One of these is known as Viral Marketing. Here we’ll look at Viral Marketing, what it is and its advantages over other methods of marketing as well as how you can use it to your advantage…

This is something that has been bugging me for a while now.
A few months ago, there was a big hoo-ha concerning Clickbank affiliates not being paid for sales they generated because some of the buyers had anti-spyware running on their computers that blocked the cookie needed to register the affiliate id.
To date, as far as I know, this has not been satisfactorily resolved although Clickbank are actively working on a solution to the problem.
But wait… think about it.
The problem may not just be with Clickbank. How many other affiliate programs are out there that also rely on setting cookies on buyers’ computers to track the affiliates’ ids in order to pay them their commission for generating the sale in the first place?
Uh oh, this is not good.
I, like the majority of online affiliate marketers, take the time to track which links are being clicked on from my sites, so I have a fairly good idea of how many visitors I’m sending to sales pages for the affiliate products I promote. When I compare these figures to actual sales, it simply does not compute. Even taking into account the tyre kickers, hesitant potential buyers and I’ll-be-back’s and a fairly pessimistic conversion rate I should be seeing many more sales than I’m actually getting.
So where do all these people go?
Are they buying the products after following my affiliate links, only for those links to be non-tracked by the hosting sites or companies, meaning I don’t get credited with the sales? Could be. Are they all cutting and pasting my affiliate links and removing my affiliate id out of malice, boredom or mischief? Maybe.
Or is the sales copy so awful on the landing pages that they are simply not converting into sales?
I don’t think so!
The only serious answer is that the affiliate id isn’t being tracked, most probably because the tracking cookie is being blocked by the customer’s own software without them even realising it’s happening.
I don’t want to go into specifics here, but as an example, I am actively promoting a new program at the moment. My stats show that since I started promoting it, I’ve generated in excess of 100 click-outs on my affiliate link. That means over 100 people have gone to the landing page of that product.
Guess what?
In my affiliate account over there, it shows ZERO sign-ups!
The product owner cites a 13% conversion rate from visitors to that landing page, which means I should see at least 13 sign-ups in my account. If it was half that, I should still be seeing some. So where’d they all go?
This is not the only example that bothers me. I have even been told by people I know that they clicked on my affiliate link to sign-up with something or other - but when I check my accounts with these companies that I know these people have signed up with, there is no record of them signing up with my affiliate link.
Is this happening to you?
Does anyone out there know of any solutions to this very serious problem?
Please leave me a comment if you know something I don’t… or if you are experiencing similar problems and you think you are losing out on some of your commissions. I’ve started a thread on my forum about this same problem here:
