amazon logozappos_logoIt’s been announced that Amazon have now completed the aquisition of Zappos. They had decided to acquire zappos back in July. Thanks to the stock market the acquisition which was reported at $928 million over the past few months has been finalised at $1.2 billion thanks to the stock market. Shares closed Friday at $117.4 a share.

Zappos CEO Tony Hsieh writes in a public letter:

We’ve been spending the past few months obtaining all the proper government approvals, and I’m happy to say that we officially closed the deal at the split second between Halloween (10/31/09) and All Saints’ Day (11/1/09). From a practical point of view, we’ve switched out our previous board of directors with a new management committee that is composed of people from Zappos as well as Amazon.

Our investors and other shareholders exchanged their Zappos.com shares for approximately 10 million Amazon.com shares. Given the closing price on Friday, 10/30/09, for Amazon stock, those shares were valued at approximately $1.2 billion at the time of close.

List of top paying CPM companies

CPM__Portfolio.eng,property=defaultHi everyone , I have been so busy that I have not been able to post my blog but  I’ am back and will post a lot now.  So here goes. CPM (cost per thousand impressions) advertising is an effective way of reaching potential customers on the Web. Instead of paying per click, in a CPM campaign you purchase a set amount of impressions. An impression is a single instance of an ad appearing on a Web site.  In a CPM-based campaign, Adevertisers may pay $3 for 1,000 impressions.

So why am I talking about CPM well, if you have a lot of  pageviews on your website monthly then the earning potential can be quite good. Below is a list of the highest paying companies that you should consider joining.

So here goes the list of high paying CPM networks for you to utilize for your site/blog.

Clickbank Tutorial -How to sell products

clickbankThose of you that do not know what Clickbank is, it is very popular affiliate network.  It is one of the largest online affiliate Networks and gives you the opportunity to make thousands of dollars monthly by selling products for order companies.  There are many webmasters today on the Internet that are making thousands.  Below is a guide that I have picked up on the Internet that will guide you through how to set up Clickbank, what to look for, what to sell and how exactly to make money.

1) Visit the Clickbank Marketplace here

2) enter the keywords of the product you’re interested in selling and that best suit the niche that your site will be based around. Or any product that you have an interest in.

3) Click on the “Go” button and you’ll get a list of products. Search through these products for ones that you are interested in selling.

4) When viewing different products, you will want to analyze the following:

$/Sale – This means the amount of money that you will earn from each sale. Remember to go for large commission prices, maybe $20 -$30 so that it can cover your advertising fees.

% refd – This is the percentage of sales made by the affiliates of this product. You should look for percentages over 70 as it means that the product is selling well for the affiliates and not just by the owners own promotion.

Gravity – Gravity tell you how many affiliates are now promoting the offer. So therefore the higher the gravity the more affiliates there are promoting it. The lower the gravity means not so many are promoting it, therefore not much competition. You should try go for between 20 – and 100 for this.

Now time to analyze whether or not the products you selected are worth selling. You will need the merchant id for this.

In order to get the merchant id all you need to do is click the “create hoplink” button under each product. The merchant id appears after your clickbank id in the hoplink

Next we have to analyze the performance of individual products over a period of time. This is crucial to judge whether the products that we have selected are indeed the best ones.

To check the performance trend of a Clickbank product, head to CBTrends
Enter the merchant ID of the selected products and click on “Click to get the performance trends”.

CBTrends will give the performance trend for the product that you have selected. It will give the trends for the period the product has been with clickbank.

Remember that a product who’s gravity is increasing over time is always a good product to promote. If it is decreasing over time, it is best to steer clear from that product.

In some niches, you will find that the product with highest gravity is actually declining in popularity and gravity whereas a competitor product with lower gravity is gaining in popularity and gravity. In such cases pick the product that is gaining popularity as it is getting more popular and you can benefit by promoting it.

You can promote products through Google Adwords or through your website. Google Adwords seems to work best for a lot of affiliates.

Affiliate programs for a blogger! Make money with your blog!

Are you a blog owner? do you make money with your blog? Well if not then I m here to help you.  Are you one of those people that sign up to one high paying affiliate and never earn anything? Well my idea is why not sign up to the smaller ones but sign up to more?

Imagine you signed up to 10 affiliate programs and do 2 reviews for each a day at just $5 each that $10 x 10 = $100

where as at the big companies you might not even get the opportunity to do one review a day. It is better to always think out of the box, expand your ideas, explore your surroundings and make a change. If you like blogging why not earn some cash doing it than earning nothing.

Here are seven affiliate programs that I recommend you join.

1.Sponsored Reviews – At Sponsored reviews advertisers will pay YOU ( the blogger) to write about their products and services. This in my opinion is a great opportunity for your blog to earn some money and traffic.

2. Linkworth – This is quite the same as Sponsored reviews but also gives you the opportunity to earn through other multiple revenue streams. This is defiantly worth joining.

3. BuyBlogReviews - Same like sponsoredreviews. A general blog can earn from them also.

4. Smorty – They will find opportunity for you. Affiliate earning is also good. They pay very fast, every week almost! If you are in hurry to earn some, Try them!

5. Matched - Such a nice program that pays you £5 just for signup, you bring affiliates they will pay you £5/referral publisher again (The publisher must show their ad on their page for 1 month before you will get your payment). For bloggers, They’ll review your site and match it with an advertiser. Only 1 ad per page up to a maximum of 5 pages per site and 5 sites allowed. Means 5×5 = 25 pages and if get ad for all of the pages your monthly income may go £3 x 25 = £75 , Convert it to $ amount, It will show more big approx $125 + your affiliate earning!!! Waiting for what?

6. Chitika – It is a PPC (pay per click) program like google adsense. So it could be your adsense alternative, you can use it with adsense also. Plus you will earn affiliate commission 10% from your free referrals. One more thig, recently they are paying Double amount of your real earning amount for their special program. That means if you earn $50, you will get $100 ,

7. Payperpost : like the rest you get paid to post to your blog. Great program and anoher good revenue stream.
