    I am not going to describe what a product feed (or a data-feed) is. There is a lot of information out there about how to use one to build sites. Instead, I want to talk about how you can actually make more sales with data-feed sites.

    The program that I manage offers a product feed, and I get a chance to see a sad picture of many good affiliates wasting their potential.

    Here is my advice from the affiliate manager's perspective.

    Whenever you join (or think bout joining) a program, you need to look for two things:

    - Temporary or permanent opportunities

    - Flaws of a merchant

    Here is an example of an opportunity that was created by an outside factor.

    Recently, we got removed from the Yahoo index because of a penalty. I have no idea when (or if) we will get included back in, but I do know that it makes one decision much easier for our affiliates.

    Judging by the numerous posts on various SEO-related message boards, it looks like Google and Yahoo use very different algorithms to rank pages. So for any given site, you have a choice to make. You can optimize for Yahoo, for Google, or for both.

    Since Yahoo and Google use different algorithms, it is going to be hard to optimize the same set of pages for both of those engines at the same time, unless you employ heavy cloaking. And the way I see it, for an affiliate, it is better to appear high on one search engine than to appear low on both of them in an attempt to optimize for different algorithms at the same time.

    Imagine that you are one of our affiliates. Given the information I just told you, shouldn't you concentrate on Yahoo for that data-feed site that is being used to promote our products?

    Why spend (at least) half of your time and resources on optimizing for Google when you know that we are nowhere to be found in Yahoo?

    You have to have an extremely well linked and optimized site to get ahead of the merchant for the exact product-name search terms. The merchant is your biggest obstacle when it comes to the search engine traffic. So if there is a route that lets you get around that obstacle - take it!

    Software Development as a Business - The Right Time to Take the Plunge
    The Right Time The signs are ominous. And they are everywhere.With every passing day, more and more consumers are switching to the online route for transacting businesses. With every passing moment, businesses are reporting a jump of few points in the transactions that people are doing online. Quite a number of offline purchases nowadays are a result of customer reading up on information about the products on the web, or a result of research that they have conducted through search engines, forums, blogs, yahoo groups, and the like.Couch potatoes are displacing their tastes of the newspaper, the radio, and the soap opera with online surfing and chatting.

    Adding Radio Advertising to Your Direct Marketing Mix
    Radio may be old, but it's certainly not feeble.According to the Radio Advertising Bureau, the average American listens to radio more than 19 hours a week. So why don't more direct response advertisers use this medium? After all, many direct marketers find that their radio response converts up to 25-50% better than their television response.Although radio has some limitations, it has terrific potential for many types of offers. If you want to make the most of your direct response radio advertising, consider the following strategies for success:Lead generation offers are best for responseIt's challenging to get people to order

    How to Increase Your Affiliate Commissions
    You joined affiliate programs and you want to increase your commissions. It is easy but needs alot of work to do.First, you must create your own site and use it as a bonus when the users buy product/products that you sell. It is good also to collect their email addresses for future advertisement. You can do that with driving the users not directly to the product you sell but send them to a page that must put their names and email addresses.An other tip is to advertise your product in your signature email file. You can put signature to every email you send, you can do that with microsoft outlook or something else, but remember the signature must be 3 lin

    Supporting Remote Team Performance
    IntroductionAt CAL we have been involved with remote teams for a number of years and have spend time understanding was makes a good team and what makes a great team. The problems with a team that is not located in one place are different to standard office-based team issues and although there is no magic wand or standard problems here are a few classic issues.Communications – It can be frustrating to be waiting on information from other team members and this can cause tension in the team. Of course the cause can be due to poor procedures, lack of training or inadequate technology, but is a management issue even if it is only a perceived problem. The results of thes

    Most of our well-performing affiliates did just that. Either intentionally or unintentionally, they ended up making much more money by appearing high in Yahoo results, while not being ranked high in Google.

    So on a practical side of things, here is what you should do.

    For your existing merchants, check if they are removed from the index in any of the major search engines, and if they are, then start reading and implementing SEO tips for that particular engine.

    And if you are thinking about joining a program and can't decide between several merchants, then check if any of them is not in the index of either Yahoo or Google. If you find a merchant like that - drop everything else you are doing and jump on that program.

    As far as theory goes, this was just a simple, but specific example of what you should look for to make your efforts pay off. There are many different opportunities to get ahead in existing programs with data-feed sites; you just have to look for them.

    Now, let's talk about flaws of merchants and how you can exploit them to make more money and help consumers at the same time.

    I will give another specific example, but you should be able to apply this concept to many different programs.

    Our site has one huge structural flaw: we only list products by product-oriented categories.

    In other words, there is no way to navigate our site by a specific occasion or by the purchasing intent of a visitor.

    You can follow a path like:

    widgets -> wooden widgets -> red wooden widgets

    This setup works fine for some type of shoppers, but is a complete turn-off for others.

    And the problem is that most affiliates simply mirror the catalog structure of a merchant according to their feed.

    But if you structured your site to list widgets as:

    - widgets for birthdays

    - widgets for girlfriends

    - widgets for those who are over 50

    - the Independence Day widgets etc.

    then you would attract different type of shoppers. You would no longer compete with the m
