This is an arrangement in which a company pays you a
percentage of the sale for every online customer they get
though a link from your website to yours (also an Associate,
Partner, Referral, or Revenue Sharing Program).

Your site needs one! The reason you're seeing
affiliate programs popping up at almost every major
site, is because they work!

E-mail marketing is a form of direct marketing which uses
electronic mail as a means of communicating commercial or
fund-raising messages to an audience. In its broadest sense,
every email sent to a potential or current customer could be
considered email marketing.

Whether you "stay in touch" weekly or monthly, the key
is to do it regularly and offer something that people
will want to read!

WEBSITE LINKING
Link Popularity refers to the measure of the quantity and
quality of sites that link to your site from various search
engines such as Google, MSN, HotBot, etc. Search engines use
this data to help determine where your web page will rank
in the search results.

Link Usability
Hyperlinks are corridors that lead your customers from your
website to another destination. Those links don't always
pull them out of your profit vortex, however. Used
strategically, you can continue courting your own customers
using a carefully designed web of links. Check your link
