Hello everybody. I have a new place for all of you to check out.

Everybody knows about Commission Junction, ClickBank, Paydotcom and all the other affiliate programs out there in the World of Affiliate Marketing. Let’s talk a little bit about how they work as an Affiliate Marketer.

1. You sign up as an affiliate to promote products on their site.
2. You create campaigns to get links to this products, usually a landing or opt-in page.
3. You build your website or blog as where to place these ads to promote campaigns.
4. Then you go out and promote your site to draw traffic to those campaigns.
5. You make sales and get paid.

Pretty simple, right. The hardest part of all this is promoting your site, selling your self and becoming an Authority Figure in the eyes of your readers so they begin to trust your opinions about products that you recommend. This my friends is the task at hand. Branding yourself!
OK. Now about these Affiliate programs. What is their job. Basically to bring NEW products to their site that will give you a variety of choices to promote a Niche that you have chosen, right. How do they make money you ask. Well let’s look at this for a minute.

1. They usually charge the product owner a fee to submit their products.
2. Most if not all make a commission of your hard work for processing monies paid as well.
3. And you make a little less than expected as the end result.

Also pretty simple, right. It seems fair because they are getting you your money and they do check out the product owner to make sure it isn’t a scam to your customers…hmmm, not always. I personally was looking at a few products to promote recently. I myself (And you should too) did some research on some of these products and found quite a few to be scams. So why would a Affiliate Program trying to help you make money online allow scam products to promote on their site. Simple, they are concerned about the end result, themselves getting paid from your hard work. They don’t seem, in my opinion, to be concerned about what will happen to your reputation, your name as an Affiliate Marketer. Remember I told you about branding your name, your name is out there on all these products, and if the consumer gets scammed it is your name, not the Affiliate Program that gets hurt in the end.

Now I am not saying that all these programs work the same and I am in now way saying that the sites above that I mentioned are doing this. All I am saying is make sure about the Niche and Product you promote.

Your name is the most important item in Affiliate Marketing, because if your name is tarnished with bad products, scammed consumers and bad reviews about you, all that hard work that you have done is washed away and flushed right down the toilet. No one will trust you, your opinion or recommendation will mean squat and your business is gone. And trying to start it up again will result in disaster over and over again.

Now on to the good news. There is a site out there that has a GREAT reputation for people like you and me, the Affiliate Marketer, AffiliateRanker.com. This company does there research about the Affiliate Programs they bring to you before they allow them on their site. They don’t charge you a commission on your sales because the Product Owner pays you direct. You can sign up to their site for FREE or you don’t have to if you don’t want to and still be able to search their site for affiliate programs. One thing you can do is when you sign up for the Affiliate Program, you can let the people running the program that you were referred from Affiliate Ranker (The referring numbers/info will be in the url when you go to the affiliate site, you have to write them down because they will be gone when you click on a new page), but once again, you don’t have to.
They also have lots of kool advice on their site to help you in promoting your programs and site whether it’s about blogging or an actual web site, information is available to you.

Let me show a little bit about them here:

What is Affiliate Ranker?

At Affiliate Ranker we always strive to present you with only the top affiliate programs online. Our highest priority is - and always will be - to collect and present you with the best affiliate program for any need possible. We mainly collect the programs in three ways:

• By searching the web ourselves - looking for what we consider to be the best affiliate programs within every niche.
• Affiliate managers submit their programs to us.
• Webmasters submit their favorite programs - or a two tier link to add us to their downline.

All submitted programs are carefully reviewed and, upon acceptance of our To help increase your revenue from affiliate marketing, there are many different areas you as a publisher would do well to get better in.

You, of course, need to have a basic understanding of how affiliate programs work as well as basic knowledge of HTML.

Knowing what services you need, and where to find them at a reasonable price is very important. Prices vary greatly for services such as domain registration, hosting and SEO to name a few.

A site, no matter how good, will not make a profit unless you have visitors, generally the more the merrier. Learning how to gain more visitors is crucial for any affiliate webmaster.

Getting visitors from search engines isn’t easy, but with the help of article marketing, directory submissions and other ways of gaining link popularity, you will soon discover it is far from impossible.

You shouldn’t just pick any affiliate program, you should really try to find the best program for your site. What’s best for one site, isn’t necessarily the best choice for another.

Once you get the hang of it, you should focus on how to make more visitors click your ads and how to target your visitors needs. This takes some experimenting, but it is a great way of improving your affiliate revenue.

I highly recommend this site to everyone getting involved in the World of Affiliate Marketing. I just happened across this site in my search for Affiliate Programs and was blown away by their professionalism. I myself go there all the time to find a lot of my programs. I do use the other Affiliate programs for certain products that are not listed at Affiliate Ranker.com, but I make sure I do my research about the product before I choose to promote it.

Oh, and I don’t make a commission if you go and sign up at the website. This is just information I decided to give to you because I don’t want people to promote scams out there and hurt their reputation and kill their business before it even gets started. Because I believe that their are plenty of people in the world to sell to and there is room for the few who choose to be an Affiliate Marketer like me and you.

Thank you for reading and good luck in all your endeavors. Peace and GOD speed.
