What You May Not Give Consideration Concerning Affiliate Revenue

Running a successful online business can be a hard and tedious task, especially if you are having trouble gaining users and helping your website become popular and known. With the help of these tips/tricks, you will find yourself feeling more confident about yourself and your website, as well as the popularity of your site slowly increasing.

To maximize the money you make from your affiliate marketing program make sure that you present your information cleanly. You want to focus on the content and the advertising, not distracting your readers with other items to focus on. Ask yourself if you need each component and get rid of the ones that do not make you money.

You can spend forever planning the ideal web site ??? in terms of layout, color, images, tables, lists and so on and you will never get it off the ground. You cannot afford to wait until it is perfect. The solution is to set up your web site as soon as you can even if it is only 80% of where you want it to be, but ensure that the structure is right so that further improvements will be additional changes to your pages rather than a complete redesign.

To be treated fairly, you should avoid affiliate marketing companies that do not pay you a lot. You should compare offers and negotiate. You should expect a bonus of at least 20% on each product that you sell to a customer. Any company offering less is not treating you fairly.

Be sure that you not only know the product that you are promoting, but that you know the company that you are in business with. You need to be sure that they provide great customer service to the customers that you are referring to them so you do not get a bad reputation from them.

Consider building a site based around a product that will make a great gift. Internet traffic spikes at Christmas time. These visitors are looking and ready to make a purchase. Catering to these visitors is a great idea. You should also use SEO to improve your rankings at the right time for the shopping season.

Use ranking tools and software to research what works for your audience. Find out what ads and pages are gaining you customers. If a particular ad is not sending any traffic to your affiliate then get rid of it and try something new. Affiliate marketing requires constant tweaking to get to maximum effectiveness.

Experiment with a variety of different affiliate marketing programs, rather than just sticking with one. Different programs have different drawbacks and bonuses - for instance in the way they pay out, or the percentage of commission. Working with different vendors means that you will still have an income even if sales through any one vendor slows down. It?s worth taking the time to finding a spread of vendors whose products and program you feel enthusiastic about.

Do not get caught out advertising products for a merchant that will not ship to your website?s visitors. On the Internet it is easy to forget how big the world is, and not all of the affiliate marketing partners you can join up with ship all the way around that world. Do not waste time on an advertiser that cannot ship to countries where the majority of your visitors live.

Pride always comes before the fall, so make sure that you?re taking the time necessary to absorb and employ the tips you?ve learned throughout this article. Affiliate marketing is not a field you can enter into on a whim and expect to get lucky. It takes a lot of skill and knowledge. Remember that.

Legendary Lady Vols Coach Pat Summitt To Receive Medal Of Freedom

On Friday, the White House announced that legendary women?s basketball coach Patricia ?Pat? Summitt will receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom, one of America?s highest civilian honors.

Summitt, who was diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer?s Disease in 2011, launched The Pat Summit Foundation Fund to provide grants for nonprofit organizations that provide Alzheimer?s education, support, and research.

Last week, Summitt stepped own from her role as the head coach for the Tennessee Lady Vols last week with 38 seasons and 1,098 wins under her belt. She is now head coach emeritus.

President Obama praised Summitt for her hard work and success, both as a basketball coach and an advocate for curing Alzheimer?s:

Coach Summitt is an inspiration, both as the all-time winningest NCAA coach, and as someone who is willing to speak so openly and courageously about her battle with Alzheimer?s.

(AP) ? A bomb blast outside a high school in southern Italy that killed a 16-year-old student has revived dark memories of the 70s and 80s, when terrorists, anarchists and organized crime carried out dozens of bloody attacks across the country.

Investigators had no firm clue Sunday of who was behind the attack and there was still no claim of responsibility a day after the crude device made up of gas cylinders exploded outside a mainly all-girls vocational school in the Adriatic port town of Brindisi.

The blast could be the work of an individual "angry with the world" said the prosecutor heading the investigation, Marco Dinapoli.

"It is not impossible that a person acting alone did all the organization," he said, adding that the person would have needed some weapons training to assemble the device and set it off by remote control.

The prosecutor indicated that a nearby closed-circuit security camera had captured images of the alleged attacker.

An anti-Mafia magistrate, Cataldo Motta, said Saturday that although it didn't appear that local organized crime gangs were behind the attack, it was too early to reach conclusions.

Killed in the blast was Melissa Bassi, who friends say dreamed of becoming a fashion designer. The condition of four other young women, all schoolmates and hospitalized with burns, was reported Sunday to be improving.

The mainly all-girls Francesca Laura Morvillo Falcone vocational institute is named after a judge who was killed alongside her prosecutor husband, anti-Mafia hero Giovanni Falcone, in a highway bombing in Sicily, exactly 20 years ago, leading some to think the mob may be responsible.

Interior Minister Anna Maria Cancellieri, in charge of domestic security, said she was "struck" by the fact that the school was named after the judge, but she cautioned that investigators at that point had "no elements" to blame the school attack on organized crime.

The bombing follows a spate of recent attacks against Italian officials and government or public buildings by a group of anarchists, including the shooting and wounding of an official from a nuclear engineering firm, which is part of a state-controlled company. An anti-nuclear anarchist group that previously had targeted Italy's tax collection agency claimed responsibility for the shooting.

The attacks and threats lodged against authorities prompted the government on Friday to assign bodyguards to 550 individuals, and deploy 16,000 law enforcement officers nationwide.

"But you can't militarize the country," the interior minister said.

Italy coped with a severe terrorism outbreak in the 1970s and 1980s ? known as the "years of lead." In the worst attack, blamed on right-wing terrorists, 85 people were killed in a bomb blast at the Bologna train station in 1980. A Mafia terror campaign targeted churches and public buildings in Rome and Milan.

Corrriere della Sera, Italy's leading newspaper, said the government and investigators needed answers as soon as possible to avoid the country reliving the "fantasy of the strategy of tension."

(AP) ? Azahara Munoz of Spain defeated Morgan Pressel 2 and 1 in the semifinals of the Sybase Match Play Championship Sunday after a slow-play penalty against the American on the 12th hole turned the match, casting a shadow on the $1.5 million event.

Munoz will play veteran Candie Kung in the title match. Kung beat Vicky Hurst 2 and 1 in the other semifinal of an event that now is shrouded with controversy.

Pressel had won the 12th hole at the Hamilton Farm Golf Club to go 3 up and seemingly was in command with six holes to play.

On the 13th tee, LPGA official and match timer Doug Brecht told the 23-year-old Pressel that she had violated the tour's pace of play by taking 2:09 to play her three shots at the par-3. That was 39 seconds over the allotted 90 seconds allowed; the penalty in match play is the loss of a hole. Munoz and Pressel had been warned about slow play after the ninth hole.

Pressel, seeking her first tour win since 2008, appealed to referee Marty Robinson before her next tee shot, but the penalty stood and her lead went from 3 up to 1 up.

Munoz evened the match with a 10-to-15 foot birdie at No. 15, a stroke that was delayed when Pressel contended the Spaniard touched the line of her putt before striking the ball.

Robinson had two committee officials away from the 15th review the videotape of the one camera angle they had of the hole. Robinson said they could not see any evidence of a rule being broken. Munoz then made her putt.

Pressel lost the match when she bogeyed the next two holes, missing a 3-foot par saver at No. 17.

Pressel refused to be interviewed by an on-course television reporter after the match. An Associated Press photographer heard her tell the reporter "Not a chance" when he asked for an interview.

Munoz was in tears while being interviewed after the match against her friend.

"It's an unfortunate situation," said Heather Daly-Donofrio, the senior vice president of tour operations. "This is one of those days where it is very tough to be an LPGA official. It's not an easy thing to deliver a pace of play penalty to a player in a situation like this."

Daly-Donofrio said two other players have been penalized for slow play this year compared to five all last year. Pressel was the only one disciplined in this tournament, although two others face fines for slow play.

When asked about officials deciding events instead of the players, Daly-Donofrio said that USGA rules have to be upheld. Rule 6-7 says players must play without such delays and it's up to the tour to apply its policy.

Daly-Donofrio said slow play is a concern throughout golf, which was evident on the PGA Tour last week when Kevin Na was very slow at The Players Championship.

Munoz, a 24-year-old NCAA champion who is the 19th seed, is looking for her first LPGA Tour win. She was 2 down after nine holes.

The 49th-seeded Kung, who hasn't won since 2008, was 3 up after 12 holes before securing the win with a birdie at No. 17. The Taiwan native ousted No. 1 ranked Yani Tseng in the third round.

The title match is Sunday afternoon, while Pressel has to face Hurst in an All-American match for third place.

Obama, Karzai push post-2014 vision of Afghanistan

President Obama and Afghanistan President Hamid Karzai met Sunday at the NATO summit in Chicago to discuss the transition of power in Afghanistan.

By NBC News and news services

Updated 1:57 p.m. ET: CHICAGO -- President Barack Obama on Sunday pressed world leaders to help implement a strategy for post-2014 Afghanistan after U.S. troops leave, a transition that Afghan President Hamid Karzai said will mark the day that his war-torn country is "no longer a burden" on the rest of the?world.

Obama and Karzai met on the sidelines of the NATO summit on Sunday to discuss Afghanistan's post-conflict future. After the meeting, Obama told reporters that the two-day summit would focus on Afghanistan's move to peace and stability after a decade of war.


"The loss of life continues.? There will be hard days ahead.? But we're confident that we're on the right track and what this?NATO summit reflects is that world is behind strategy we've laid out," Obama said.

Standing next to Obama, Karzai reaffirmed his commitment to the transition timetable?process, which he said will lead to a time when Afghanistan "is no longer a burden on the shoulder of our friends in the international community, on the shoulders of the United States and other allies."

Karzai also thanked Americans for the help that their "taxpayer money" has done in?Afghanistan.

"Afghanistan is fully aware of the task ahead and of what Afghanistan needs to do to reach the objectives that we all have of a stable, peaceful and self-reliant Afghanistan," he said.

NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen speaks to the media at the start of the NATO summit on Sunday.

Earlier, a top NATO official?insisted?that the Afghanistan fighting coalition will remain whole despite France's plans to yank combat troops out early.

"There will be no rush for the exits," NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen said. "We will stay committed and see it through to a successful end. Our goal, our strategy, our timetable remain unchanged."

Obama later opened the summit by telling world leaders: "For over 65 years our alliance has been the bedrock of our common security, our freedom and our prosperty, and although times have changed the reasons for our alliance has not."

NATO leaders gathered in Chicago to chart a path out of Afghanistan as war-weary Western nations seek to fend off dissent in their alliance and ensure Afghanistan can hold a still-potent Taliban at bay when foreign troops withdraw.

Obama was hosting the two-day summit in his hometown, a day after leaders of major industrialized nations tackled Europe's debt crisis, backing keeping Greece in the euro zone and vowing to take steps necessary to revitalize the world economy.

Public opinion in Europe and the United States is solidly against the war, with a majority of Americans now saying it is unwinnable or not worth continuing.

Newly elected French President Francois Hollande has said he will withdraw all French combat troops from Afghanistan by year's end ? a full two years before the timeline agreed to by nations in the U.S.-led NATO coalition.

"President Hollande has stated that France would be prepared to support Afghanistan in a different way," Rasmussen said.

But signaling tensions over the issue, German Chancellor Angela Merkel told reporters: "We went into Afghanistan together, we want to leave Afghanistan together."

Hollande repeated a pledge during his inaugural visit to Washington last week to pull "combat troops" from Afghanistan this year. He has said an extremely limited number of soldiers would remain to train Afghan forces and bring back equipment beyond 2012.

"This decision is an act of sovereignty and must be done in good coordination with our allies and partners," said Hollande, who was?to discuss his exit plans with Afghan President Hamid Karzai on Sunday.

Information from The Associated Press and Reuters?is included in?this report.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 and Galaxy Player 4.2 come stateside on May 13th

Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 and Galaxy Player 4.2 come stateside on May 13th

Unfortunatly the time has come for this scraper to come down (seemingly it may come as a shock to some that this is not provided by the BBC).

In short, I no longer use it, I find consuming live news is not actually something an RSS reader does very well and I face a constant battle against sites trying to use these feeds to monetize BBC content and failing to pay any attention to etag or last modified headers (hello palin-pedia.com et al).

'Where The Wild Things Are' Author Maurice Sendak: A Big-Screen Tribute

The children's book creator inspired filmmakers and actors through his honesty and imagination.

Children's book author and illustrator Maurice Sendak died Tuesday (May 8) as a result of complications from a stroke. He's best-known for revolutionizing the children's book genre with the surprising success of "Where the Wild Things Are." Far from popular children's fare like "Hungry Caterpillar" or "Green Eggs and Ham," the dark fantasy focused on Max, a rowdy boy in a wolf suit, and his adventures with the hairy beasts of his imagination.

Sendak spread his influence from children's books to the big screen when filmmaker Spike Jonze took on the ambitious project of turning "Wild Things" into a motion picture. Previously described as "unfilmable," Jonze was sure to stay true to Sendak's vision and yet bring his own ideas into the story and reflect how the book affected him. The author had much involvement in the project, acting as a producer and helping to steer Jonze in the right direction.

"[Sendak] said from the beginning that you have to make it dangerous — make something that respects kids and doesn't talk down to them, or if not, it wasn't worth doing," Jonze said in a featurette for the film.

In an industry where beloved children's films are routinely turned into money-making machines, Sendak focused on the children. His other credits include creating "Seven Little Monsters," the children's television series that followed monsters as they learned about life. He also acted as a co-creator and writer on the Nick Jr. hit show "Little Bear," which follows a young bear and his adventures with his animal friends.

But his classic story of Max and those monsters who "roared their terrible roars and gnashed their terrible teeth" spans its influence across generations, even inspiring the stars of "Where the Wild Things Are." Lauren Ambrose, who voiced KW in the film, told MTV News, "I read the book as a kid; it was read to me. I read it to my kid now. One of my best friends from childhood has a giant tattoo of Max with a fork in his hand down her back. It was like a big, big deal, deeply embedded in our collective psyche. And also, on her back."

Forest Whitaker, who voices Ira in the film, echoed this sentiment, saying that he first read it as a kid and began to really appreciate the story as he got older, finally reading it to his own kids. He didn't realize when he was younger that the popular book was made up of only nine sentences.

"It's weird, because I didn't really count," Whitaker laughed. "But I think, as a kid, I knew that the story was more in the pictures."

Following his adaptation of "Where the Wild Things Are," Jonze co-directed the documentary "Tell Them Anything You Want: A Portrait of Maurice Sendak." In a chat about that film — which includes intimate conversations with the author about his life — the director called Sendak an inspiration.

"I find his imagination is certainly inspiring. I think that's what really drew me to him," Jonze explained. "But what I find deeply inspiring is his ferocious honesty and his fearlessness to be honest both as a person, as a friend and as a mentor in helping us make this movie. And the thing about him is, he has no ability of small talk or chitchat. He wants to engage in something real. He is who he is and he doesn't have the energy to pretend to be someone else."

Don't Underestimate Lawyers' Resistance to Change, Seyfarth Shaw ...

Law Practice Management

Seyfarth Shaw has learned a lot about lawyers and their resistance to change as the firm embraced Lean Six Sigma, a management approach emphasizing process improvement and efficiency in legal work.

Seyfarth Shaw chairman J. Stephen Poor outlines the lessons learned in an article for the New York Times DealBook blog. ?Never underestimate the resistance to change from lawyers,? he writes. ?Even more likely, never underestimate the ability of lawyers to describe virtual status quo efforts as revolutionary change. Working through a change management process intended to deal with that push-back has been a core element of our challenge for years.?

Resistance came not just from lawyers in his firm, Poor says. Most of the firm?s clients are also lawyers, and they also showed reluctance. The firm has learned that it had to build a business case for change, working in collaboration with clients.

Two other lessons learned:

? Law firms do need to change how they manage their businesses, with a focus on client demands for better value. Except for a handful of law firms, ?the status quo will not drive long-term success,? he asserts.

? Don?t settle for half steps. "Marketing efforts are lovely; certainly, we all do marketing," he says. ?But if one is to truly evolve a business model, the only way to avoid having it become simply a marketing effort is to recognize that it must drive through all parts of the organization."

Insights Into Core Criteria In Outsourcing Tutorials

This article has been viewed 10 times.

One thing probably many internet marketers are not prepared for is the all the different things (skills) that need to be learned in the beginning. The attrition rate is very high in online marketing for many reasons, and perhaps some of those reasons is due to the high learning curve considering all the various tasks and skills that are required. The best place to begin your outsourcing journey is to decide what tasks you want to have others do for you. We?ll go a bit deeper into some solid suggestions you can consider before outsourcing anything for your business.

Once you know what tasks you are going to outsource from your Internet marketing business, the next step is to find someone to outsource it to. The first choice for marketers is to search their networks of people they know and trust for recommendations, after that ? off to the various and well-known sites such as guru.com, or getafreelancer, or elance. At these websites you can bid for jobs or post your jobs that you want to outsource. You can get work done for very cheap because people will bid low to out-bid each other, but you do need to exercise caution with anyone you hire. Also, the more reputable sites use the services of escrow companies to the exchange of money and work can be safely accomplished. An important tip to keep in mind when outsourcing your tasks is that you need to offer the worker a test project first to see his/her caliber. Obviously this will be done prior to having them work on larger projects. Doing this will allow you to see how well they perform, if they deliver on time, etc. It?s very easy to test people because you just give them a smaller scale task to complete, and then you can evaluate them. If they perform well for you, then you can gradually scale it up to bring them deeper into your business needs. You?ll be able to retain those who do well for you, or keep them on file so you can hire them for future projects. Go to affordable seo ? a background for quality specifics.

Customer service is a huge favorite to outsource, and even huge corporations do this, too. This is nothing new and has been going on for a very long time. Since dealing with customers can eat up into your time and have a negative impact on your productivity, you can have someone else to deal with it for you. Naturally, you need to have first class customer service because it?s important to business, so choose wisely on this one.

All in all, Internet marketing outsourcing can do wonders for your business. But just remember about clear and precise communications at all times. You?ll do yourself a favor if you try to get someone to recommend a professional to you.
