ummmm... affiliate marketing is the most important part of my job. That and having good sites that convert, here is a piece of an ICQ conversation I had with an affiliate of ours today... if this sounds like spam it aint, it is me pointing out that you do not have to be a stud to break even (certain personal info of this affiliate has been censored to protect his privacy)
anon affiliate (10:28:23 17/03/2007)
how many active membrs you have?

are you asking me how good our recurring is?
anon affiliate (10:29:32 17/03/2007)
i thing how many membrs, who realy promote you. I think you have aprox 4000 membrs but how many realy work
anon affiliate (10:29:55 17/03/2007)
becouse you have very good ratio
ME - aka spazlabz (10:31:18 17/03/2007)
wow, that is a hard question to answer... we do have quite a few webmasters promoting us but i am not really sure how many I would say are aggressively pushing our sites... part of that responsibility is ours... we need to provide the affiliates more tools and we are working on that.
.
and thank you, yes our sites do convert very well I wish more people knew that
He went on to tell me how much money he made and that is not something I would divulge here, but he is doing quite a bit better then breaking even
and I actually hear stuff like that quite often. There is money to be made as an affiliate and you don't need to be a guru to do it
