Is Affiliate Marketing Dead As We Know It ?
– I Doubt It … by Allen Lundy
There’s been news that the America Federal Trade Commission are planning to force blog and website owners to “disclose” the fact that you and I are profiting from our recommendations.
In other words, when you recommend something to someone and someone buys a product based on the confidence on your recommendation, the FTC believes it’s the customers “right” to know they are being profited from.

Is Affiliate Marketing Dead As We Know It ?
– I Doubt It … by Allen Lundy
There’s been news that the America Federal Trade Commission are planning to force blog and website owners to “disclose” the fact that you and I are profiting from our recommendations.
In other words, when you recommend something to someone and someone buys a product based on the confidence on your recommendation, the FTC believes it’s the customers “right” to know they are being profited from.
The argument with marketers and promoters is that they have every right NOT to tell people they are profiting from their decisions to buy as long as the customer is satisfied with their purchase, what does it matter to the buyer?
Is it because the seller is afraid the buyer won’t purchase because they know someone is profiting from the sale?
Besides, when you walk into a cellphone dealership store and a salesman/woman approaches you and sales you on a brand new plan and phone…are they required to disclose to you what percentage of the sale they make?
No.
In fact, I bet you could care less one way or the other WHO makes money from your purchase, as long as you get the cellphone you’ve been dying to have in your hands for months.
What the FTC don’t know, is that disclosure of income and profit is already being done in most industry’s including network marketing, direct sales, insurance salesmen, real estate investors, and so on.
The question you ask yourself, given the above examples, is if you believe it’s your right to be told who’s making money off of your purchase possibly influencing your decision to buy, or not?
In my opinion, it can go both ways. In some industries, you want to know who’s profiting so you’re not supporting a bad cause or scam…and in others, it really doesn’t matter so much because the likely hood of being ripped off is almost unlikely.
It seems like the higher the risk to the buyer, the more they want to know who’s pockets their lining with their purchases. In contrast, the LESS risky the purchase and the more the industry is perceived to be “legit”, the less cause for concern of being ripped off.
And consequently, as more buyers are getting ripped off and cheated on their online purchases by zealous affiliate marketers, the cry for “regulation” get’s louder.
This system can be abused by agencies like the FTC for their own personal agenda of sticking their hands in the cookie jar and getting more “control” over something the government knows it has no control over.
As you can see, there is no cut-n-dry answer to a very complex question full of holes. But is affiliate marketing coming to an end? I doubt it.

Making Web Money Online Digital Marketing Magazine is a monthly Web Magazine about “right now “opportunities and success stories from Digital Internet Marketers who are making web money everday.
12 videos, I’ll take you by the hand and tell you exactly what you need to know to work WITH Google and YouTube so that you get paid good money every month, like clockwork!
We all know how important it is to build an e-mail subscriber list as part of your online strategy, but it can be difficult to get enough traffic to your squeeze page.
You can use a lot of different traffic generation methods in order to send traffic to your squeeze page and build your subscriber list including pay per click advertising, search engine optimization, and article marketing.
There is one powerful method, however, that many marketers overlook, and that method is known as ad swaps.
This concept is pretty simple because all you have to do is contact another marketer in your niche who also has an e-mail list and you agree to perform a simple swap so that both of you can receive additional subscribers.
You would send an e-mail to your list promoting the other marketer’s opt in list, and he or she would do the same for you.
This is generally a simple and effective way to add subscribers to your list, but you need to keep some precautions in mind.
If at all possible, you should verify that the other marketer has the number of subscribers claimed.
Otherwise, you could be wasting your time even though no real damage will have been done.
For best results, you should contact marketers who have roughly the same number of subscribers as you do in order to make the whole process worthwhile for
both of you.
If you have 500 subscribers, for example, and the other marketer has 1000 subscribers, you might still be able to work out an arrangement if you are willing
to send two e-mails to your list in order to make up for the difference.
If you don’t currently have any subscribers but still want to participate in the swaps, you need to build a list of at least a few hundred subscribers as quickly as possible in order to be taken seriously.
The fastest way to achieve this would be to use some paid advertising such as pay per click campaigns so you can begin participating in ad swaps as soon as possible.
