Ultimate Affiliate Package
Thursday

Recently I’ve been seeing a lot of packages promising affiliate marketing to newbies in a nice, neat package. Some are shady but others are fairly legit. A decent one I’ve heard some good things about is this Ultimate Affiliate Package.
Basically with this package will give you a jump start into affiliate marketing. Considering the amount of money you can make with this, the fee to participate isn’t bad ($97). One of the hardest parts of affiliate marketing is doing the grunt tech work, so this takes that out of the equation so almost anyone who has the desire to work from home can do it.
The brands the package works with are well know and reputable, so it shouldn’t be very hard for a relative novice to jump right in and become acquainted with the ins & outs of affiliate marketing. When you buy the package you receive easy website building software, access to a support site, weekly lessons, and two eBooks: Affiliate Marketing 101 and Blogging for Money.
The program works with Walmart, BestBuy, and Amazon, to name a few. From the general looks of it, it looks to me to be something a super affiliate has set up to help others get into the game. With the guarantee offered, it’s worth a shot for the novice interested in affiliate marketing as a way to make a few extra bucks.
Online Marketing Glossary: Parasite

Parasite:
- Software that works on a person’s computer, typically without their knowledge or consent and without a visible interface. It can include software that’s installed along with another application.
Parasites are pretty universally looked down upon amongst white-hat, legit affiliate marketers. Recently there was a class-action lawsuit against Commission Junction for allowing affiliates using parasitic software to continue earning commissions, so this is serious business. More specific types of software that tend to fall under this category are malware, spyware, and adware.
Whenever you’re installing a program you’ve downloaded from the internet, always pay attention and look into the Custom Installation options to see what unnecessary features or secondary programs might be automatically installed onto your computer. I also periodically take a look at my list of installed programs through my Control Panel to make sure nothing that I don’t recognize got past me. For Mac users check the /Applications/ folder.

Spider:
- A software program that crawls the Internet by following links and indexing webpages.
Spiders are the basis of all search engines. Google, Yahoo, and MSN utilize these programs to index the content throughout the net. This is why the debate between nofollow and dofollow links and their effect on search indexing rages on.
