So, what is Affiliate Summit? Having survived a canceled flight back from Vegas and the craziness that ensues after being out of the office for a few days, I have finally had the chance to reflect on my experience this year at Affiliate Summit West hosted this year at the Wynn Hotel in Las Vegas.

I find myself thinking about how much the performance-based industry has grown and matured over the past few years. At ASW this year I found myself talking to more and more brands who in the past would have never attended this type of show but now attend since they see affiliate marketing as an integral part of their marketing efforts.

These leading brands are making a statement by putting in the time to understand the space, attend the sessions, and overall get a better understanding on how the affiliate marketing process works. Their presence and dedication really attests to the change in the overall industry.

In terms of publishers, I spoke with more dedicated and professional people who were serious about how they run their business. The newcomers along with the more experienced affiliate marketers were looking to have a business conversation about partnering and working together successfully, rather than looking for ways to just make money quickly.

In addition, affiliate marketers from all over the world were in attendance at this year’s show just proving once again that we live in a global business environment where it is necessary to expand beyond one’s comfort zone. I personally held several conversations where both clients and affiliates were interested in growing their conversions and effective CPMs in Europe and other areas outside of the U.S.

Of course the show was full of a lot of the same faces and companies from previous years but the underlying vibe of the show was more professional due to the increased attention brand advertisers are now putting into the performance-based advertising industry.

While there will always be companies trying to stick to the old way of doing business, I believe that those who are unable to make this change may not survive in our increasingly professional and growing industry. I look forward to continuing to be a part of this ever-changing industry!

The end of a decade is upon us and as we ring in and welcome the new year, we do so by building upon what we have accomplished and hopes of achieving our new goals we have set forth. Social media has broken down the communication barriers and helped to pave the way for small businesses to emerge and thrive. While we continue to see growth amongst users within social media, we cannot overlook the power of search engine optimization and getting found.

Getting found online for small businesses is essential to remain competitive in today’s marketplace. The way consumers search has changed, the way they receive and consume the information has changed through sharing on the various social media platforms and also through the way that the search engines present the results for the search queries. In early 2010 the buzz was optimizing for local search, then, were re-introduced to Bing as they went full speed ahead to attract users and making optimizing for Bing worthwhile though creating more of a niche search. Google was hard at work creating instant search and Google Places and most recently confirming that yes, indeed, they are starting to pay attention to our online activity through the social signals. 2011 promises to be as action packed so enacting the essential SEO tips only keeps you ahead of your competitiors. Google was hard at work creating instant search and Google Places and most recently confirming that yes, indeed, they are starting to pay attention to our online activity through the social signals. 2011 promises to be as action packed so enacting the essential SEO tips only keeps you ahead of your competitiors.

9 Essential SEO Tips for Small Business in 2011

1. Keyword Phrases. One word phrases are a thing of the past. Yes, it is important to have specific keywords targeted as they relate to your brand and overall industry however we have to keep an eye on what phrases people are querying to find us. Delving into your analytics and analyzing how people are finding you and comparing that to what you wish to be found for will help to secure your ranking.

2. Content. The content that you are creating is not only built around keywords, it is built from what people are going to find useful, has a high propensity to be shared and also to be created from what people would want to link to. The content when we think in the different ways it will be viewed enhances how it is created.

3. Mobile Friendly. A site that is not mobile friendly is losing visitors. We have become a mobile dependent society and adapting your site to mobile devices is not only increasing your chances of searchers having the ability to view your site, it is also securing the trust with them as ultimately when we are searching, we want results. The results via a mobile device need to be more immediate and valuable.

4. Local Search. Local search is still a hot topic. Google Places becoming the default for many industry specific searches has changed the way that people are accepting the search results. This is where the biggest change has taken place. Users have had to embrace this search result change. They want results that they feel that they trust. Appearing in the results, starts the trust.

5. Link Building. A link building strategy that encompasses internal and external linking through directories, reciprocal links as well as engaging in social media through commenting on blogs, creating content that is linked to as well as web pages that are a resource to be linked to is going to point to your site through the search engines as a point of reference and increase your rankings.

6. Canonical Pathway. Creating a clear and precise canonical pathway domain sets to avoid multiple page variations (ie http://www.yourwebsitepage vs http://yourwebsitepage and duplications. The search engine spiders crawl and are unable to determine which is the preferred pathway for your site. Establish one pathway.

7. Crawl Frequency. How often are your pages being crawled? Blogs are crawled and ranked very quickly. Internal web pages that are not linked to or updated and have high visit volume are not crawled as frequently. Monitor through your cache how often your pages are being crawled to determine which pages need to be crawled more frequently and this also can give some insight as to when a new page or blog (for those that are not blogging every day) should be posted to ensure that the page is being crawled and indexed when the crawlers are crawling.

8. Photo Alt Tags. Alt tagging photos seems sometimes to be forgotten. The spiders cannot see the photo, but they can see the text that is associated with the photo. Creating alt tags that contain keywords are not only preventing the stop gap for the spiders, it is allowing an extra source for keyword density.

9. Site Speed. The speed in which your site downloads matters. Visitors will click off a site is taking too long to load.The faster the site loads the more time is spent on the site. This not only is attractive to the user, but the speed of a site matters to the search engines. Of course, the content will outweigh the speed but if you have great content that is slow and people will not wait for it, the search engines will not rank it.

These tips are essential to be ready for 2011. Search is only increasing as we see users engaging online for longer periods and having an ability to do so on the run. Mobile usage, desktop/laptop usage while at work and at home will continue to increase. People are online and trust the search engines to give them results. Can the search engines trust you to give them what they need to rank you?

Are you optimized and ready for 2011?

Many Gurus have mastered the art of persuasion and have utilized it to their advantage. This in many instances ends up being to the detriment of many newbie affiliates. Though an effective technique used to tap into the desire of the new comer with promises to fulfill their greatest desires in the shortest possible time. This works for two reasons, a guru is perceived as an expert in his field and is therefore trusted. Hence whatever he or she says is taken as achievable. This gives a reassuring feeling to the new learner who desires understanding.

This then raises the question, is it solely the gurus fault or does the newbie have a part to play in the whole dynamics of the sabotage theory? This scenario mimics that of one attempting to perform a single handed clap (as in using one hand to clap). Both parties are required to participate in order to bring about  a response, whether good or not so good.  This applies in a broader context as well, not just for online affiliates. A day to day comparison could be drawn from an elderly person becoming the target of a break in. They become a target only after it has been ascertained that they have multiple weak spots that can be capitalized on.

So how can newbie affiliates combat this onslaught in their state of vulnerability? Let’s look at the illustration earlier I used with the elderly person. Even if the person lives alone but their home is burglar alarmed and has family stopping by on a regular basis. This individual is less likely to be targeted, as the likelihood of  getting caught is higher. Not to say all gurus are dishonest, but being able to differentiate between those who are truly qualified from those that are only seeking to make a quick buck at your expense is important.

It then becomes our responsibility to protect ourselves by making ourselves less vulnerable. In order to do this the newbie needs to be clear about what he or she is trying to achieve. Avoid the temptation to rush in and first sign up for free information to get a feel of the value they offer. This will help to determine if their product is worth the purchase. Look up reviews on the product and get a feel of what users have said about it. This technique has saved me what would have been regretful purchases and time wasted that would only have served as a distraction. The whole point of this is by becoming more responsible and taking control more it will force the gurus to raise their standard in the level of information that they share.

Starting off as a newbie affiliate is both exciting as well as nerve wracking. The truth is it’s like anything new that you try for the first time. A good indicator of how well you will end up doing is determined in the way it all begins. There are those who just rush in without first finding out what to do which usually ends up in tears. There are others who are a bit more cautious and first ask questions from the more experienced affiliates. This gives them a better starting point and a better chance of getting results.

Tip#1. Do Not Rush into it – Too many newbie affiliates end up rushing in without really knowing what to do, resulting in them running around in circles, like a dog chasing his own tail. Eventually it becomes too much and they give up.

Tip#2. Take the Time to Learn How to Successfully Promote Products – There is no single way to promote products and services. This is a personal decision that depends on your ability and your start up budget. Be sure to determine what these are before starting.

Tip#3. Select one method you feel you understand – There are various methods out there that can be used to as promotion vehicles. It is crucial to have an understanding of how they work and how users interact with them as a means of getting the very best out of it.

Tip#4. Stay Focused – To avoid detraction it is best to have a plan put together. This makes it less likely for you to end up working without seeing any results. It is then that you become demotivated and give up.

Tip#5. Put together a plan based on your finance and ability – decide your approach and jot it all down on a notepad as you go along. Keep referring to the notepad to know what your next step will be and to correct steps that went pear shaped.

Tip#6. Implement Through Trial and Error – Write down the process as you go along this will enable you to refer back to what you did and help you quickly identify what is working from what isn’t.

Tip#7. Evaluate and Improve – Tip#6 will make this part of the process much easier. Being able to quickly throw out what doesn’t work will help you to focus and improve what is working. Once you have a satisfactory conversion rate all you have to do is repeat the process with more accuracy.

Using these simple tips will provide a basis from which to launch off. Having clarity to the process and what it entails eliminates the illusion of a get rich quick mentality and enables you to focus on putting in the work necessary to achieve the results you desire.

If you’ve never tried the EDU revenue stream, I’m about to teach you a proven and successful way to use the EDU and grant programs from several aff networks to promote the best EDU programs that they have.  I know people who use these techniques and do over $20,000 worth of leads a day and significant profits – because it is easy and there are many traffic sources to support it. What I am going to teach affiliates here is what people include in their $10,000 courses – and frankly, none of them even get it right, or have really good examples. Because I am a nice guy and too lazy to make my own DVD set, here’s all the info you need for free.

STEP #1) Great Landing Page. First of all, you are going to want to make a very good site that will be a landing page for Grants & EDU. One landing page that works really well is below, which is fileyourgrants.com. This is a great example of what can be done. It gets people in the door, get’s them to sign up – and using the grant system is much less competitive than many other edu keywords. Not to say that you wouldn’t want to use edu keywords that actually back out.

This is just a good example – it has a great logo, has a good call to action “Need Help? Don’t Miss out on Grant Money”. The really great part is the “FILL OUT THE FORM BELOW” with the Treasury Check. I would NOT recommend using the treasury check, because of the legal issues regarding this – so might want to check with your attorney. However in general using any logos or anything that represents the government is misleading and possibly illegal. Color wise, this is perfect – blue is the color of authority, which makes people more likely to believe what you are telling the, and red is the call to action. I also really love the reasons part on the bottom, really gets people who might not automaticaly fill it back to reconsider.

Here’s another awesome grant page

Click to expand image

STEP #2) GREAT AUTORESPONDER. Next you will want to make sure to have an auto responder.  I recommend AWeber – if you sign up using this link you will get $1.00 trial to test this out. The auto responder is enormously important in creating programs that work, because it allows you to immediately respond to people who are interested, engage them and get them more involved. I think a great deal of the industry reccomends them, but if you know of something better, please tell me.

The idea of this is to get people to sign up immediately for more information about Grants and Educational programs, send them an offer and then use that data to continually send them product offers over the period of several weeks. The auto responder is a MUST for this (and many other programs that I am going to teach you)

STEP #3) REDIRECT AFTER SIGNUP. After they signup for the program, you will want to immediately redirect them to a page that talks about another similar offer or just redirect them IMMEDIATELY to that offer. There are two possible offers that you can do this for, here are the two offers.

1. MonetizeIt Promotion #5249 Program Advisor orRevenueStreet offer #274
2. Envyus Media. #582 Education and Career Center – Gov Grants

I recommend highly that you redirect after the signup DIRECTLY to one of those pages.

STEP #4) SEND AN ACTUAL GUIDE. In the actual auto send them PDF guide to grants and resources about grants, we will talk more about this PDF further on  You will want to send them an email with this guide, a good example is

Welcome to the “YOURSITENAME HERE” – you have made a great decision in applying for grant funding, and we congratulate you for taking the first step. The Government is helping many people like you right now by giving out Government grants that can be used for school, business expenses and other person obligations and expenses. Don’t waste your time and learn more:

STEP 1: Download out Grant Approval Guide (link to a PDF on your site)
STEP 2: See if you qualify for grants on one of the top sites about grants, you  can be awarded for:

• Federal Grant Programs
• Pell Grants
• Need Based Grants
• Minority Grants
• Disabled Student Grants
• Graduate and Doctoral Grants

SEE IF YOU QUALIFY

In this case,link to the EnvyUSMedia 582 Offer in the PDF, or find another one.

Back to the the PDF that you send: you will want to do some research and find how people can apply for grants, make a one page basic guide, you can find all the information on public sources. However, page #2 will be a listing of more offers for them to fill out. Include in that the Grant offer, with the same information as above.

Also push at the end EDU offers by saying things like “If you are looking to go abck to College with your grant, look over these online schools.” Similarly, you may want to end with a good cash advance offer or credit card reduction offer.

This guide will get you a significant amount of the money to be made from your autoresponder. However, over the next few weeks you will want to send them more text messages reminding them of these offers, where to look up grants and other free opportunities for them.

Where can you get the traffic? Almost anywhere, but I highly recommend using 7Search (if you use this link they will match your first deposit). 7Search has tons of keywords that are very useful for this, including cheap grant and government grant keywords. Look at the keyword “College” seems pretty amazing actually.

STEP #5: Send other EDU, Grant and Work from Home offers.
Over the next few weeks, you need to really to send a lot of great EDU and similar offers. I recommend MonetizeIt for most of these offers, because they have a large selection of high paying EDU offers, and you can mix and match them. The real good news here is that just because your subscribers sign up for one, doesn’t mean you can get them back on another. Mix and match the offers.

Here again are the three networks and products you need to sign up for to make this work

1) MonetizeIt
2) EnvyusMedia
3) Revenue Street
4) AWeber
5) 7Search



It’s the New Guy again, back with some insight from the PPC front. Obviously, we are in the middle of the peak shopping season most advertisers efforts are concentrated on grabbing customer’s attention with bargains, free shipping, and all the bells and whistles. The day that gets the most attention is Cyber Monday. Think Black Friday but on every laptop and PC in half the nation.

This year’s sales were over a billion dollars in 24 hours. Many of our advertisers did very well. But how can you get those results on a weekly basis? How can you improve your pay-per-click campaign so that your investment of time and money will pay off all year long?

Lately, I have spoken with several advertisers who have inquired about improving the return on their marketing investment. They want to know how to make their campaign a success. I, unfortunately, can not offer a guaranteed formula for instant pay-per-click success. I can only reinforce the basics of what’s necessary to build a profitable search engine marketing strategy over time. There are certain principles that remain constant no matter the product or service being promoted.

These are some of the fundamentals that I have found to be useful across all categories and verticals:

1. Bid Competitively: Take a look at where you are placed amongst your competitor’s bids. Are you ranked in the top 3, or the top 5? 7Search.com advertisers will see red flags displayed next to keywords that are receiving poor visibility. In order to be effective, your ad should be visible to as many web surfers as possible. Being displayed amongst other top ranking ads helps immensely. Bidding at least $0.05 will ensure that your ad receives traffic from our affiliate network. 7search constitutes about 20% of our traffic, whereas the remaining 80% comes from our affiliates. Competitive bidding offers you visibility, but you still want to examine your keywords and the results they bring.
2. Keyword Reports: Under the “Reports” tab, 7Search members will find several great data reporting tools available to them. Running one of the available reports gives you a breakdown of the amount of clicks, impressions, conversions, and overall costs associated with your ad campaigns. The keyword report tells you exactly which keywords are receiving clicks, and shows you the searched phrase that was connected to your keyword. You can use this information to discover what searchers are looking for. You can then cater your site to what is being searched, or find irrelevant keywords to be used in our next area of discussion.
3. Negative Keywords: These are invaluable because they can save you money! The purpose of adding words to this list is to make sure your ad only receives clicks from relevant searches. For example, if you have a site that sells baby blankets, and you choose “baby” as a keyword, you will receive searches for “Justin Bieber ‘Baby’ lyrics,” to “adult baby costumes.” Adding terms to your NK list will help keep irrelevant searches such as these searches from reaching your site.
4. Conversion Tracking Code: Adding the code to your website makes it so much easier for you and 7search to examine your results. We can see which keywords are converting, how often, as well as a detailed look into the quality of traffic your ad is receiving. This is also useful in isolating any sources of low-quality traffic.
5. Using our MakeTop: Bidding competitively, perhaps over several campaigns, can be daunting. We have advertisers with HUNDREDS of campaigns. Instead of monitoring each campaign, and adjusting each keyword bid individually, use our automatic MakeTop. MakeTop is a bid adjustment tool that will set your bids at EITHER first position or a maximum bid amount selected. This allows you to move all your keywords to top position quickly, to increase your click through rate. You don’t have to worry about a bid going past your budget; pick a maximum bid you are comfortable with, and feel free to adjust as you go.

There are some other factors to consider about 7search, as well. We offer custom descriptions and URLs that can be attached to your keywords. These add an extra sales pitch, and an instant link to distinct landing pages, for your audience.

What is the quality of your site? Does it look like a professional, clearly laid out and interesting website? Is it easily navigated? Do you have a secure checkout page, keeping your customer’s personal information safe and secure? Think about what your average surfer will see and feel when they visit your site. Will they be impressed, and hopefully inspired to explore it further?

Taking time to evaluate your progress and activity through out the year will help during the slower periods, and keep you prepared during the busier seasons. Always consider your audience. What products are people talking about? What part of the year are you in? Evaluation and re-evaluating should be a part of your routine, so that every Monday can be a Cyber Monday.

In the world of online advertising two formats reign supreme. Paid advertising, or PPC (Pay per Click) and Organic Optimization, or SEO (Search Engine Optimization), are the two most prevalent traffic generation methods. PPC and SEO have the same objective, which is to drive search engine traffic to your website. Both methods feature many attractive benefits and well as potential hurdles to advertising success.

The PPC advertising model allows businesses the opportunity to generate traffic and grow quickly via the internet. PPC as a medium offers many positives features, as well as some potential negatives to consider when getting started. Some of the positives include:

• Usability – PPC is very easy to get started. Creating a campaign requires minimal “tech” knowledge.
• Effectiveness – Paid advertising quickly increases the visibility of your business online. Its use can expose your online business to more potential clients in a shorter amount of time than traditional SEO.
• Scalability – Your advertisements can be tweaked to allow you to reach a targeted clientele. These optimizations in geographic and/or demographic settings can, in turn, helps attract high quality leads
• Speed – Campaigns can produce quick results/sales
• Transparency – Unlike other traditional advertising mediums (i.e. Print, Television), PPC provides analytical data to help users gauge return on investment (ROI).

Some of the drawbacks to managing a PPC campaign include:

• Time Dedication – Effectively optimizing a paid campaign can be very time consuming.
• Lack of portability – Strategies that may work for your campaigns on larger engines may not translate successfully with a smaller ppc provider.
• Risk – PPC advertising advertisers can lose a lot of money if they are not cautious with their bidding strategy. Numerous factors, such as traffic volume fluctuations, multiple traffic matching options, and new traffic partners, can all impact your ROI.
• Cost – Popular keywords can be expensive to bid for, and if not properly optimized, can damage your budget.
• Click Fraud – Click Fraud is a very real issue that can affect your campaign performance – especially with high volume search terms. It is important to your bottom line that your PPC provider offer features which help you identify and removes poor performing sources before they destroy your offers.

The major difference with SEO is that it requires the utilization of techniques to position your website to receive traffic from the non-sponsored organic (think FREE) listings whereas PPC exclusively utilizes sponsored (i.e. PAID) listing traffic. SEO can take a long time to show results – in fact it can take up to many months depending on the competitiveness of a keyword phrase. Also, SEO cannot be guaranteed, as changes to a search engines algorithm or requirements may result in lower positioning. For this reason many people choose to focus on PPC in the short term and leave the SEO as a long term strategy.

Ideally, a prosperous long term strategy using both PPC and SEO in conjunction will work best. PPC can drive quick traffic and provide increased web presence to your ads. This instant stream of traffic will allow you to ascertain which keywords convert into sales the best in short order. Then, with that knowledge, an SEO campaign can begin targeting only those keywords which convert into sales so that the users’ website appears organically for those phrases. No matter which version is used, optimization and management is essential to your campaign’s success

t’s starting to get towards the holidays, and as an affiliate or affiliate network, you need to start thinking about holiday offers. Instead of charging you $2,500 to sign up for my non-existent DVD list, I’m going to give you several great ideas of how you can, as an affiliate (or get your affiliates) to make money this holiday season, plus some ideas of where you can make this work.

1)      First of all you need to create a Kids Holiday Gift Guide. This is extremely important. Get a simple domain like giftguide202.com or something similar. This will be the basis of whatever you do, and it’s important. The webpage should look holiday like, put a bunch of gifts, trees, Santa Claus, toys and a sign up form in the middle “Get the 2010 Holiday Gift Guide with links to where to buy the hottest gifts”

2)      First of all, sign up for an associate program at Amazon.com. yes, the 4-6% that you get isn’t that great, but you are only going to use this as a way to get people in the door and make initial money.

3)      Sign up for PeerFly affiliate network.

4)      Here are the top gifts for 2010 that you need to include.

1. XBOX Kinnect http://amzn.to/cmQuTK – you want to promote the full console and the feature. The reason is simple, many people will buy the whole thing for their kid and family, and it’s a high level price. You want to talk a bunch about the XBOX Kinnect, and remind people that it’s the hottest gift this season.
2. CrazyCritters – Get this from Peerfly, offer 1306. It’s not really one of the top gifts, but since the others are, they will trust you that it is, plus it has a high CPA in comparison
3. Nerf N-Strike Stampede ECS. http://amzn.to/aRvvYu –  mention this is hard to find and that Amazon has a 12% discount on the product!
4. Dotza Coloring Pens’ At Peerfly 1108
5. American Dolls are always huge: american doll http://amzn.to/auDztT
6. Imaginext BIGFOOT the Monster’ by Fisher-Price http://amzn.to/aSmqaO
7. Matchbox Stinky The Garbage Truck’ by Mattel http://amzn.to/9KdKLN
8. Zhu Zhu Pets are huge again this year Kung Zhu Pets: Toys & Games http://amzn.to/bDwGfn

You are going to keep the list small, because the main amount of money will not be made on amazon, but instead emailing them in the future with other offers. If you this right however you will make at least 100% from the first mailing on the names that you collect.

5)      You also need to sign up for an autoresponder company, if you haven’t done already. I recommend AWEBER. Signup with this link and it will cost you only one dollar to try out.

6)      You are going to want to pull offer 1740 from Peerfly which is the xbox kinnect giveaway zip/email submit

7)      In your auto responder, set it so that a day later you are going to send an email to anyone who subscribes telling them that you noticed they were interested in this product and you found this site that is giving them away. This will result in a very high CTR and conversion rate – why? Because even if they weren’t interested, they will be because you showed them the day before about this product.

8)      Segment your audience based on their clicks – this is very important. If your subscribers clicked on links for girls items, put that in a separate list from those who clicked on boy’s items.

9)      You have made a list that most likely you can email over and over again and make some good income. In coming days I will show you some boys & girls affiliate programs, with specific offers you can mail in the future. Check out peerfly, you will want to mail your lists based on toy items you find there, and on Amazon, at least once a week with a new product until the holidays.

10)   Sign up for 7Search here. If you sign up with this, they will match the first $100, so yo uwill get $200 worth of credits. Right now there are almost NO Toys, ToysRUs, Christmas Gift type keywords. Use these. Obviously you can use other search engines – but you want to acquire the new signups to your guide as fast as possible, cheap as possible. Each signup should be under $2.00 CPA preferably.



ADTECH New York has come and gone, and what did we learn this year? Same thing we learned every year: that there are more and more companies entering the space and thus there is more and more need for tools to help weed out the junk. Despite the huge influx of companies in the space, there is a huge growth in new offers in the market plus a continued interest in some oldies.

Peerfly has suddenly become the king of Netflix in the last several months, and is the main source for this still very popular offer. While it’s very hard to get approved to run Netflix, Peerfly founder and CEO Chad French tells me that there is always room for premium networks. Just in case you can’t be approved by Peerfly, there is always the Dandingo offer version of this, just a little bit cheaper.

For the UK space, there are some great Netflix competitors, including ILoveFilm.  Always beautiful Samantha Brachat, the head of the Neverblue mega network tells me that this is becoming one of their most popular offers. There is even a Danish version of the offer! If you happen to have Aussie visitors, Azoogle… sorry, Epic Direct has the BigPond offer which distributes all the great American movies dubbed with really sexy Australian accents.

With the closing of SwipeAuctions, there is a huge need for other affiliate offers in the space. BidCactus is running strong on Ad Angler and PointClickTrack at the same prices. Another company that I hear converts really well is BidSauce which can be found at a really good price at ProfitKingsMedia or Affillion. All of these convert, and the penny auction space is still growing and huge, despite some issues with scammers out there promoting some really bad offers in the space. Stick with the good companies and you’ll be ok.

The dating scene is getting bigger and still more profitable. The reason behind this is simple: more and more people are getting on the internet and because of that they have less time to actually date. Similarly, the stigma regarding online dating has changed so it’s no longer considered weird to have an online dating account.  Large dating sites like Match.com still dominate the space but there is a fast growing niche dating industry that can be quite profitable.

Yes, Granny is on the internet looking to get lucky at Senior People Meeting from Qwik Media. Similarly, if you like a little cushion, there is a wide variety of BBW dating services (that means Big Beautiful Women, for those who aren’t aficionados of the more rotund gals) including BBW Personals. If you looking to mix and match, SinglesNet also offers a really good BBW landing page, says Ryan Eagle of EWA.

If you looking for the long sale but to make a lot of money, there are the high cost of sale dating sites out there like Ashley Madison. Specifically for guys looking for the lonely stay at home mom or the really stressed secretary, Ashley Madison is a great offer offer at Neverblue or TractatusMedia. YeahCPA has an exclusive free trial version of this offer that seems interesting also. Of course, if you prefer out of the Country gals, there is always AnastasiaDate.com. Yes, the Russian gals are gorgeous but you’ll probably need the Babylon translation tool to have any idea what she is saying. If you are promoting that, why not also promote the STD Express tool, for all the at-home STD testing you could need. Just incase something does show up and you need to get rid of it, there is Wartrol, the at home genital wart removal tool. Seriously, they are real offers and they match perfectly.
