Wednesday, 08 August 2007
You've probably noticed the red double underlined links that appear on this site and you'll have probably guessed that when you hover over them, they turn red. I have always wanted to test out whether they would work well in a product review so here's a bit about an affiliate marketing book currently for sale.
Affiliate Millions: Make a Fortune Using Search Marketing on Google and Beyond is written by Anthony Borelli and Greg Holden.
Here's a nice picture of the cover of Affiliate Millions:

Amazon say this about the book:
Building income through search marketing and affiliate advertising on the Web In Affiliate Millions, author Anthony Borelli shares his secrets for exploiting this underutilized and often overlooked resource in the world of e-commerce-one that even many of the Internet's most successful entrepreneurs are unfamiliar with. The practice of affiliate advertising is simple, but in order to generate a substantial and regular income, the proper execution can be complex. There's no better guide than Borelli, who has stepped into every pitfall and found every trick-of-the-trade on his way to the top of the affiliate advertising business. With coauthor Greg Holden, Borelli shows readers exactly how it's done. How? By carefully selecting the right keywords, judiciously placing bids on these keywords, and tailoring ads to induce results on Google, Yahoo!, MSN, and other search engines, readers can make thousands, and eventually tens of thousands, of dollars each month in resulting commissions. Complete with charts, instructions, and expert tips, Affiliate Millions will open the door for all readers to the tremendous opportunities available in affiliate advertising. Anthony Borelli (Land O' Lakes, FL) made over a million dollars on Google as a search marketer and affiliate advertiser in 2005, and repeated this performance in 2006. Greg Holden (Chicago, IL) is the author of more than 30 books on computers and the Internet.
Amazon also gives this synopsis:

Now, he wants to help you do the same. Filled with in depth insights and practical advice, "Affiliate Millions" will introduce you to this profitable endeavor and show you how to make it work for you.
Amazon currently have a search inside facility for this book so you can read an excerpt and look at the contents. Whenever I write the phrase affiliate marketing, this book seems to crop up so it'll be interesting to see how many red links appear above.
The purpose of this is to determine whether this technology could be mashed with Amazon's API to create something special!

That's certainly disappointing. Affiliate marketing now produces a link for Strategic Affiliate Marketing by Simon Goldschmidt and Greg Holden produces an ad for Arthur (eh?). It's certainly not what I was expecting or hoping for. Essentially, even if you write a product review like this, you still have to link to the sales page. That's a bit of a disappointment.
