Affiliate sites based on artificial intelligence

I have just come to an interesting related site called SalesClark, a virtual shopping assistant that communicates in plain English with online shoppers to choose a laptop or desktop computer.

While I enjoy the process of customizing my Dell computers, I can not understand how these options could be a little too much for someone who doesn't understand the technical specifications.

I tried that, and it was a SalesClark quick and easy experience resulted in a choice of three laptops that fit my requirements.

SalesClark currently an affiliate amazon.com, buy.com, Fujitsu, J & R, MacMall, Tech Depot, thenerds.net, TigerDirect, and Velocity Micro and they have plans to add other programs relevant affiliate of the mix before the Christmas rush.

It is nice to see the unique take on calling in a site with affiliate links, like so many sites that are based on the product data feeds make no attempt to differentiate themselves.

The first step in Affiliate marketing

Q: there seems to be a lot of fast-talking scheisters outside there wanting to teach the subject of affiliate marketing. I want to build a solid affiliate marketing business that over time, rather than a quick cash. What is the best ' first step ' learn how to create a solid affiliate marketing business?

A: first of all, I would like to search for, so I scheister could be sure to spell it correctly.

I checked with my old hard cover Dictionary, Webster's new world to get a definition dictionary for anyone not familiar with the term.

Thus, a slag tap scheister is a term, in particular a lawyer, that uses unethical or misleading methods is also described as a. pettifogger.

Now I am not familiar with the word pettifogger, but this does not sound like it is a good thing.

As far as the first step in building a solid affiliate marketing company, I would suggest that the first step would be to start a blog.

Just go out and get a hosting account, which can run as 7 €/month or so low. Choose a host that will provide a free installation of WordPress, which I would like to propose for your new blog.

You also need a "theme," which is essentially the layout of your blog is really easy ... to install into WordPress there are many available for free.

In addition, buying a domain name, which will run about $ 8/year.

After that, start blogging about am for topic that interests you.

Completion of the blog with some content, and then link it to Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter accounts.

When you have a week or two, start tests some relevant affiliate offers on your site is not to see great activity for a while, because you do not have both a common, yet.

But stick with it.

This is a great time to learn, because you invest a lot of money in this, that the process of education.

As your learning, searching on Google for affiliate marketing blogs and forums to interact with others and pick up tips on improving your site.

You can go months without the investment of $ 50, so it is quite low. good luck.
