Amazon Affiliates versus Google Affiliates

This is a topic that comes up in a lot of blogs.  I am absolutely horrid at monetizing the blog.  I just keep on building links and hope that search engine juice flows praying that eventually I'll get enough money to appropriately fund my height increase efforts.

What I like about Adsense is that it's a measure of how good my blog is.  Every time somebody clicks on an ad it's like I failed to protect them from scams.  What's good about Adsense is that I can make money even if nobody clicks and nobody converts for the advertiser.  Yeah I'll get smart priced but Adsense won't get pulled away like a private ad network would if nobody buys anything.  And there are no regulations against discouraging people from clicking adsense ads :)

What I like about Amazon is that you can go hey check this out, what do you think about such and such product.  Get people to click on the link, the cookie stays for 24 hours and you get irrelevant buys plus you know that Amazon really favors the consumer.  I knew a guy who sold on Amazon and they gave a refund on his products for every little thing.  Click bank has a refund policy too but most of the information on Click Bank is available for free.  You know that Amazon actually gives value to your readers.

The irrelevant product I sold on Amazon so far...you internet marketers are going to love this:  A Hair Loss product.

As the world turns to FIFA, FIFA.com turns to Google

We’re right in the middle of football fever worldwide and as the number of competing teams dwindles, the interest is only growing. Of course, many of these eyeballs around the world are turning to FIFA.com to get the latest scores, updates, and analysis.

Given the traffic flowing through FIFA.com, FIFA understands the importance of search on their website. Indeed, according to a recent independent Forrester Research, Inc. report, a 2008 survey found that “70 percent of online users stated that “ease of search” is the most important factor influencing how they select news resources”. 1 For this reason, FIFA has chosen the Google Search Appliance to power search on their website.

With the Google Search Appliance, FIFA.com is able to provide a user-centric, universal search experience across all types of content—news, statistics, images and videos. For instance, when you type in “Messi,” you first see a box at the top showing “player statistics,” followed by FIFA news results in order of relevance, then images and videos specifically pertaining to Messi.



Additionally, features like “Did you mean” direct people to the right results. For instance, if you type in “mesi,” FIFA.com will ask you if you meant “Messi.” Or if you type in a country name, say “Argentina,” the top result will be a link to a country-specific page.

By focusing on the user, FIFA.com offers their fans a compelling experience, with search as a core element. And we’re happy to play a small role in helping millions of fans around the world keep up to date on their favorite sport.

Rapid innovation powered by the cloud – another reason to Go Google

The web is the epicenter of innovation, and Google’s multi-tenant infrastructure lets us push improvements to our customers seamlessly, enabling businesses that have Gone Google to move beyond the slow, multi-year innovation cycles typical of legacy technologies.

Users automatically get new features just by refreshing their browsers, and improvements roll out to organizations without patches or hardware upgrades to manage. Rapid innovation powered by the cloud also has another advantage over traditional technology cycles: users adapt to a continuous stream of manageable improvements better than they tolerate large, disruptive changes in the tools they use every day.

Last week I hosted a webinar to spotlight some of the more than 50 improvements and new features we’ve brought to Google Apps just in the last 6 months. You can watch the replay below or watch it on YouTube:



We’re excited about what’s in store for Google Apps. We’re always making our products better based on feedback from millions of users, and to keep up with the latest features, you can subscribe to the Google Apps Updates RSS feed, or sign up for email alerts.
