The Importance Of Protecting Your Affiliate Links

As an affiliate, your number one article of trade will have to be your affiliate link.  After all, your affiliate link is your personal distinctive identity under the attentive gazes of the affiliate program you have registered into.

Permit me to explain more.

The instance you join an affiliate program, you will be required to choose an affiliate article to sell.  All affiliate goods  you will choose will provide for you an affiliate link that is solely your own.  Your affiliate ID will be embedded on this affiliate link.

What is the value of this affiliate link?

Mainly, as an affiliate your job will be to sell the affiliate article by means of your affiliate link.  Each time anybody ticks on your affiliate link, two affairs will occur:

1.    He will be directed to the article's selling page; and
2.    The affiliate plan will be told that such a guest was recruited by you.

If the said guest will choose to buy the creation, the affiliate group will recognize that he is your referral, and that you - and no other member- will be entitled to the cut.

Therefore, your affiliate links are vital for your affiliate advertising triumph.

However, since your affiliate ID is embedded on your affiliate link, your potential gains will be vulnerable to the following dangers:

-    Your cuts may be taken, as another faction can easily make  a declaration making use of your visible affiliate ID.
-    Individuals may refuse to tick your affiliate links because they'll believe that you are merely {leading} them to another site for your own special gain.  They don't want to feel "used."
-    The avenues where you can sell your affiliate links are restricted, as most online threads and communities loathe the publication of affiliate links on their websites given the abuse of such a system lately.

The aforementioned hazards can easily put a stop to the productivity of your affiliate advertisement movements.

It is very necessary to look after - and in some instances, conceal- your affiliate links to avoid such perils.  You can accomplish this by making use of affiliate link concealers.

Basically, affiliate link covers will make another URLs that will direct to your affiliate links.  This method, you will be publishing links that will not show your affiliate ID, and won't emerge as affiliate links at all.

The outcomes: improved fortification of the commissions you have gained, and a grander click through conversion rate for your campaigns.

Funny names combinations through marriage

Super Bluetooth Hack and cellphone security

I stumbled across a great mobile phone software site the other day by accident. Come to think of it, I can't even remember what I was looking for in the first place. It may have been because my wife is currently looking to replace her cellphone, and I was looking to see which brand and model cellphone is the easiest to unlock from any prior network.

First of all, I don't trust people who sell phones on eBay that are already unlocked. I can't help but feel I am aiding the trade in stolen phones somehow. So, time to learn how to unlock a phone on my own. Surely there are sites out there (probably set up by the same groups that pinch the phones en mass, but anyhow) that I can find codes that can do this right?

Well, that is probably how I stumbled across this site. Loaded with lots of free cellphone software, I started browsing through the extensive list, looking for anything that took my interest. By and large, the list was full of boredom buster type applications to play while on the long bus or train trip to work, but then I noticed super bluetooth hack...

If you haven't heard about Super Bluetooth Hack, or bluetooth hacking in general, perhaps if I remind you of the cellphone pictures of a very naked Paris Hilton that surfaced on the internet not so long ago. The story goes that someone managed to get within bluetooth range of the hotel heiress and her cell, and stole the pictures from it, as she had her bluetooth switched on.

I downloaded the application to see just what it could do, and tested it on my wife's LG U860. Sure enough, I could transfer across text messages, browse and download gallery images and even control the phone remotely! This is a scary prospect. It means once someone has access to your phone via bluetooth, they can place calls to other people from their phone, while you foot the bill. (It is possible to send text messages also, but why bother when each message is logged, and the phone call is not traceable)

There are also other apps out there that scan phones and report back on the various security issues inherent with that make or model... which a lot like securing your own ecommerce website by trying to hack it, should be run on your own phone first to see what you are vulnerable to.

The short term solution to staying safe... turn off bluetooth on your phone!

eBay Broken!

It's always funny when large internet companies such as Google and the like make blunders on their sites. One that springs to mind is when someone at Google accidentally deleted the official Google blog from blogger.com, (requiring and address to change from http://google.blogspot.com) which an astute member of the public claimed while it was free.

The latest slip up from eBay happened today when they have obviously made changes to the site, be it to increase user security or whatever, it doesn't matter. At the moment the site is unusable to Mac users, with the site asking if you wish to download the eBay isapi dll when trying to log in...!
