Obviously, there is some confusion around here about this forum's stance on "affiliate marketing" in regards to its position regarding "Fastlane" concepts.
Foremost, affiliate marketing has played an integral role in my success, and will do so in the future. As I wrote in the other thread, of the $10 million++ I've made over the course of my internet career, affiliate marketing has played a vital role in that growth.
I believe in affiliate marketing. Affiliate marketing is vital and viable means of generating traffic and/or revenue streams for websites.
Markus Frind, the founder of PlentyofFish.com engages in affiliate marketing and is highly successful at it. He makes $1,000's. However, he is engaged in a top-line business activity - his website: PlentyOfFish.com.
In my own business ventures, I use affiliate marketing to promote my web service - its an integral part of my business as I have 100's of affiliates selling my service.
Again, these kinds of activities are worthwhile to discuss.
However, there seems to be some confusion what kind of affiliate marketing I am lambasting and attempting to prohibit here....
Let me add some clarity:
Affiliate Marketing Topics That Can Be Discussed
1) How to get affiliates for your new website
2) How to create an affiliate program
3) How to join an affiliate network to promote your website/book
4) How to generate revenue from your website using AdSense (and other affiliate programs)
An example of a thread that would be welcomed: "Does anyone here use ClickBank? Does it work? Suck?"
Affiliate Marketing Topics PROHIBITED
1) Look at the program I just joined
2) How do I market this EBook that 20,000 other people are also selling
3) Join my network of affiliate marketers
4) Signatures with links to ANY affiliate marketing program
I think the general term "affiliate marketing" is so broad, that everyone has their own definitions -- some think of Google Adsense while others think EBook promos.
Hope this adds some clarity to the subject and I apologize for the confusion.
