Affiliate Elite Feature Buttons And Setup

At the top of the Affiliate Elite Main Interface are what as known as the Feature Buttons. They are displayed as follows: New: Creates a new project. Open: Opens an existing project. Save: Saves an existing project. Pause: Temporarily stops all Affiliate Elite Processing Threads from running. 1

Export: Permits the data retrieved from an Affiliate Elite Project to be exported and saved as a comma separated variable file format known as a CSV File. Options: For setting preferences which program how Affiliate Elite Functions. Preferences (Options) Interface:

Select Max Number of threads: This increases the multi-tasking rate of Affiliate Elite Processes through the maximum number of threads permitted. You increase the maximum number of threads permitted by moving your cursor over the slider on the slider bar and moving it to the right. You decrease the maximum number of threads by moving your cursor over the slider to the left. 2

Tip: Before running Affiliate Elite, open your computer's Task Manager. Then run an Affiliate Elite Project. Check the CPU and Ram used by the Affiliate Elite Process running. If there is still unused CPU and RAM Resources and you are not running any additional programs. You can open the Affiliate Elite Preferences Interface by clicking on the Options Feature Icon at the top of Affiliate Elite and increase the maximum number of threads accordingly. Run the preceding exercise until you are satisfied with the results. Computers vary among each other and a local hardware specialist can assist you in any upgrades you may want in order to take full advantage of Affiliate Elite. Use speed limiter: This is used to regulate the speed of data retrieved by Affiliate Elite. It is used primarily for Affiliate Elite to share the bandwidth of your Internet connection with other software programs running on your computer or local network. You can use this feature when selecting Affiliate Elite Projects 2 to 4. It is completely optional. You can adjust the speed of data retrieval first checking the box to the left of the slider bar. And then by moving your cursor over the slider on the slider bar to the right. You can decrease the speed of data retrieval by moving your cursor over the slider on the slider bar to the left. The speed limiter gives you the option to set the speed from 2 kilobytes per second up to 512 kilobytes per second. Un-checking the speed limiter check box will use your own computer's settings you have with regards to your Internet Settings. Meaning, if you have broadband speeds of two-thousand kilobytes per second, Affiliate Elite will request data retrieval at these set speeds by default. Use SE Courtesy : Again, it is used here primarily to retain the accuracy of data between specific third party databases used by Affiliate Elite. Affiliate Elite does this by regulating the time between its data requests with third party server responses. You will use this feature with when selecting Affiliate Elite Projects 3 and 4. You can adjust the time between Affiliate Elite data requests first checking the box to the left. Then you can enter a number between 1 second and 3

9,999,999 seconds. This will program Affiliate Elite to pause in between data requests with third party servers by using the parameters you set here. Affiliate Elite uses a numerical randomizer to select a number between the two you have chosen each time Affiliate Elite makes a data request. Tip: Start with a range between 2 to 4 seconds. Check the data retrieved in the above projects respectively. If you are not receiving the data you are requesting, increase the time of the requests and the range as well. Meaning you would then start with 4 seconds and 8 seconds as an example. If you are successfully receiving the data you requested, you may also decrease the time between data requests and range. Doing so will decrease the time needed to retrieve all of your data requests with Affiliate Elite. Use Google Region: You can select between the current two-hundred and seventy-eight Google Regions to retrieve data from. You can also choose to retrieve data from all countries and territories. There is a short list in the drop down scrolling menu to the right. This is used for Project 3. Use Yahoo Region: You can select between the current twelve Yahoo Regions to retrieve data from. There is a short list in the drop down scrolling menu to the right. This is used for Project 3. Allow use of PROXY servers: This is used for allotting the number of total query request made by Affiliate Elite to the Google Servers and dividing the requests evenly among all the PROXY servers in the PROXY List you insert here.

Checking the check box to the left gives you the option to add a list of proxy servers to use for data retrieval. When the check box is checked, the Add, Edit, and Remove Buttons become available for you customize which PROXY server Affiliate Elite will use. Clicking the Add Button will bring up the Add new PROXY Server Interface.

Add new PROXY server interface : Please enter the PROXY server: Here you type in the IP Address of the PROXY server you want Affiliate Elite to use when connecting to third party servers for data retrieval. port: You can enter a specific port number relative to each PROXY server you add to your PROXY server list within the Preferences section of Affiliate Elite.

You can usually get a few hundred of them, as well as their current status of operation. They are free to use. Clicking on the Edit Button will also bring up the Add new PROXY server interface where you can make changes to each of your PROXY server listings within the PROXY server frame. The PROXY server frame lists in the order you have entered each PROXY server. Along with the PROXY server IP Number Address, port and current status.

In ascending order starting with the lowest number first, this data can be very useful in determining websites which are related to your keyword markets. But are in no means, a competing website. You can immediately use this information to contact these websites to possibly work in a joint venture, merchandising the products either you have yourself, or are affiliated to; with the products and services of these respective websites. You may also want to use a product known as SEO Elite V.4 to analyze each one of these websites back linking partners. This will give you a much more in depth picture of what kind of joint venture partners these websites are looking for. The next column to the right is titled, Affiliate. This column lists in a percentile value the amount of keywords each website within the Website Column has their specific URL of their ads containing an affiliate or tracking code. Anything less than 100% in the Affiliate Column , means some of the keywords theyre placing the ads on within the respective ad network you selected to analyze; are pointing directly to their own websites. When any of these rows are expanded by clicking on the plus sign in the first column, you will see a yes or no listed in the Affiliate Column . A yes will 38

display in the Website Column a URL with a tracking or affiliate code. This means it is pointing to a partnered website. There are two kinds of partnered websites. The first kind is represented by an advertising agency. Advertising agencies use a tracking code in the URL of their ad being displayed on the ad network to count the number of times the respective advertising agency directed visitors to their clients websites. This data is highly useful in learning how professional advertising agencies get the most out of their clients advertising dollars. And as such are expected to compete for their clients business with other advertising agencies by bringing in the highest return on investment from these advertising campaigns. You will definitely want to track over the long term how these advertising agencies changed the title body and frequency, as well as the time of day and week theyre running their ads pointing to their clients websites. The second kind of partnered website will show an affiliate code in the URL displayed in the expanded list under the Website Column. This is usually noted with code that has the words Click Bank or Pay Dot Com. This data is highly useful for determining which websites are actually affiliates of merchant products and services found on affiliate networks. You will definitely want to track these websites and all their keywords to determine which keywords are the most profitable in selling merchant products and services as an affiliate. Tip: Because the affiliates have a much less profit margin as represented by the affiliate commission, they stand to have a higher risk and a lower rate of return than their merchant counterparts when placing ads within each ad network. This means each affiliate must be even more diligent and resourceful than the actual merchants theyre selling for. Tip: When you find a website which as an affiliate code in its URL as shown in the expanded list under the Website Column, make sure you run this website domain in Project Two, Reverse Google Search. This will give you all of the keywords this affiliate is running to bring in profitable sales of all the merchant products and services theyre selling on this specific website. Youll also want to run Project Four with the affiliate ID selected to find out all of the other websites this affiliate owns.

39

Tip: You can then run each one of these websites this respective affiliate owns and run each through Project Two, Reverse Google Search to obtain absolutely every single keyword this affiliate is using in ad campaigns. And then create an entire ad campaign with all of this affiliates keywords combined and set up multiple runs daily and weekly. Use the exact same entire keyword list of this affiliate and set up six ad campaigns all with four different daily times running daily. This will give you a 24 hour window where you will be able to review and track every single move this affiliate makes and see where he or she is winning and losing in the competitive advertising market. Then you can start to copy all the winning ad campaigns this affiliate is making money on so you can start to make money on the exact same methods. Tip: If you wish to expand your business and you start tracking several affiliates ad campaigns across multiple websites you are going to need more copies of Affiliate Elite and more machines to run them on. The reason for this is this data must be retrieved at a pace your current system can handle and the demands placed on the servers you are retreating data from. Retrieving data to quickly will get your IP address number band from retrieving data from the respective servers on the Internet. As well as possibly freezing your machine. This is what happens when you do not use search engine courtesy in the Preferences Interface of Affiliate Elite. Tip: When you see 0% in the Affiliate Column , this does not mean the website listed under the Website Column is not an affiliate of the merchants products. But rather the affiliate chooses to direct traffic from their ad campaigns to their own websites first. This is very useful information, because if you visit the respective website, you will gain invaluable information on how each affiliate is merchandising the merchants products and services. And the methods they are using to convert an even higher sales conversion ratio than the actual merchants website. Youll want to spend the careful time and consideration with each one of these websites with a zero percentage in the Affiliate Column . First to determine whether they are a Click Bank or Pat Dot Com Affiliate. 40

And secondly, to note the merchandising methods these affiliates are using to convert an even higher sales conversion ratio than the actual merchants website of the respective products and services. When you spend the time to analyze the actual landing page that is associated with the actual ad which is pointing to the landing page as evidenced under the Website Columns URL. And you create a comparable landing page of equal quality and visual experience for your visitors, you will have excelled into the stratosphere of the super affiliate. This makes Affiliate Elite a dual exercise in Project Three. O ne is setting up the Affiliate Elite Project Scheduler and running all of the keywords of the respective website which has an affiliate code pointing to a landing page. As well as studying and tracking the ad campaigns of professional advertising agencies through the URL tracking code underneath the Website Column in the expanded view.

This stands for Total Days Found. This column lists the total number of days each website was placing an ad under the corresponding keyword in the Keyword Column. At first you may see the, click to expand statements within this column and the column to the 41

right. Simply click on this statement and the rows within these two columns will expand downwards. Once this column is expanded, you can click on the title at the top of this column and sort in ascending value the total days found for each keyword that was advertised on with an ad from each respective competing website under the Website Column. Clicking on the title again in this column will sort each expanded list in a descending value displaying the keywords the competing websites have been placing ads on for the longest time. Tip: This is useful information because it shows the competing websites are making sales either by directing visitors to the merchants website or to their own landing pages. As you continue to run your Project Three ad campaigns either manually or through the Affiliate Elite Project Scheduler, youll see a significant difference between the keywords each competing website uses in the long term to direct visitors and convert these visitors into profitable sales. The lower the number in this column the less likely the competing website is making the same number of sales as keywords which showed the longest days running for the same competing website. As you continue to track and run your projects you will begin to see which keywords and their respective ads are being used by the website advertiser. The next column to the right is titled, Total Days Crawled. This column lists the total days Affiliate Elite found the website advertisers ad under the keyword phrase within the Keyword Column. Each day you run Affiliate Elite counts as one day crawled. Clicking on the title at the top of this column will sort in ascending value the number of days scrolled. Clicking on this title againat the top of the column will sort this list numerically in descending order. The next column to the right is titled, TD ratio. This column list in a percentile value the number of times Affiliate Elite found the ad running for the website advertiser. This is calculated by taking the corresponding number in the TDF Column and dividing it into the TDC Column multiplied by 100. This information is very useful, because it tells us the number of times the website advertiser is using their ad under the keyword market within the Keyword Column to bring sales to their website or their merchants website. 42

If this number is less than 100 it means there are times the website advertiser is not using their ad when Affiliate Eliteran your campaign to record and analyze your Adwords competition. This means there are times that it is not profitable to run an ad campaign. Tip: Highlight any row under the TDC Column which has a number in it. Right click on this number and youll see a window with a statement, View Ad History. Click on View Ad History and youll see Affiliate Elite Add History Interface will appear. Youll notice that if you select a number to right click on within the TDC Column, which is higher than the number in the TDF column, youll see under the Position Column within the Affiliate Elite Add History Interface a statement saying, not found. As many times as the ad is not found when Affiliate Elite runs your ad campaign, will be as many times youll see the statement in the Position Column . There are four columns within the Affiliate Elite Add History Interface and we will go through them now.

The first column has a pound sign at the top. This column lists the number of times Affiliate Elite has ran your campaign. The next column to the right is titled, Date. This column lists the time and 43

date Affiliate Elite ran your campaign. If you click on the title at the top of this column Affiliate Elite will display in descending order the time and date Affiliate Elite last ran your ad campaign. Clicking on this title again at the top of this column will sort in ascending value with the earliest time Affiliate Elite ran your ad campaign to the latest time. The next column to the right is titled, Position. This column lists the ad position found to the right of the search engine indexing results of these specific website advertisers ad you are now analyzing. This column is very useful, because it can show you any fluctuations the website advertiser is having in competing with their ads among other competing ads within this keyword market. If you see the ad position is consistent this has two meanings. When the number in the Position Column is the same throughout this can mean theres very little competition within this keyword market. The second meaning can be the website advertiser has presets their campaign to hold this position within a range of payment they have pre-disposed when they set up their ad campaign initially. This means they can pre-set a range of payments to hold a fixed ad position in order to secure the consistent flow of visitors to the URL placed within their ad. If the numbers in the Position Column are quite different from each other, this means the website advertiser has a fixed price associated to their ad. This means the website advertiser is only willing to pay a fixed price rather than a range of payment. When a website advertiser sets a fixed price to their ad and other website advertisers are competing for ad positions within this keyword market, youll see varying numbers in the Position Column. As represented by the fluctuating positions the website advertiser is experiencing to the right on the search engine indexing results page. The next column to the right is titled, Total Ads Found. This column lists the total number of ads found when Affiliate Elite ran your campaign. Clicking on the title at the top of this column will sort in descending value the number of ads that were running with the respective time and date held under the date column. If you see different numbers within this column it means website advertisers as a whole, have found certain times are more favorable for sales results. And other times are less favorable for sales results. 44

Youll want a pay particular attention to this, because if you advertise at the times that other website advertisers find favorable, youll have better results. However, you will most likely pay a higher price for your ad. There may also be a window of opportunity here for you to place an ad at a lower price were the number of website advertisers respective to the date and time within the Date Column are the least. You can see whether or not less competition with the least desirable time other website advertisers have found, has changed the sales conversion ratio within this keyword market. As the saying goes, nothing ventured, nothing gained. A small investment of a few dollars will determine whether not there are has been something missed or changed in the keyword market other website advertisers are unaware of. If you highlight any one of the rows in the Affiliate Elite Add History Interface, youll notice in the lower frame the actual ad which was running and associated to the website advertiser. As well as, the date and time this ad was running. Including the position it was placed to the right of the search engine indexing results page. After you have ran Affiliate Elite for thirty days or so, youll be able to see how long each type of ad in the lower frame lasted. The longer the better, because this demonstartes the strength of the website advertisers ad to continously bring in sales. You will also know, some ads have changed more frequently than others. This means the ad had taken its course and could not keep the sales conversion ratio consistent any longer. Therefore, the website advertiser will have changed their ad and the content within it. Clicking the close button at the bottom of the Affiliate Ad History Interface will close this window and bring you back to the Affiliate Elite Main Interface of Project Three under the Reports View Tab. Tip: Click on the title at the top of the TDC Column. Next look in the TD Ratio Column and scroll down until you find the number one-hundred. Click on it and the list will expand. As you remember, one-hundred represents one-hundred percent of total days Affiliate Elite found the ad running of the website advertiser under the Website Column. Next look under the TDC Column and youll see in descending value the 45

highest number to the lowest number of all the keywords underneath the Keyword Column, the website advertiser under the Website Column was placing an ad. Youll also notice under the TD Ratio Column all of these keywords and their respective ads are all one-hundred percent. This means the website advertiser was advertising their their ads consistently through each time Affiliate Elite ran your campaign. The more times you run Affiliate Elite the more accurate this information will become. And as stated before, you can use the Affiliate Elite Project Scheduler to set up a twenty-four hour surveillance of the website advertiser in all of their keyword markets they are currently advertising in. You have now hit the current website advertisers war chest in pay per click advertising campaigns. By taking the highest number of total days found and exporting the corresponding keywords under the Keyword Column to a text file. You will now have the major sales converting keywords used by the website advertiser. And by right clicking any one of these rows mentioned herein, you can view the ad history, click on any one of the rows in the Affiliate Elite Ad History Interface. And see the exact ad, which is giving these website advertisers their highest click through rates. If you take this information and then study the exact landing page the ad is pointing to, youll see two very important sale mechanisms being used on the Internet today to bring in millions and billions of dollars in sales of digital products and services. You now have the exact time tested and proven ingredients to carry out your very own successful super affiliate online business model. The next column to the right is titled, First Seen. This column lists the first time you ran a project with this keyword. Clicking on the title at the top of this column will display in ascending order the earliest time each keyword in the keyword list column was first tract by Affiliate Elite. Clicking on the title at the top of this column again will display in descending order the latest time the keywords in the keyword list column were first tracked by Affiliate Elite.

46

The next column to the right is titled, Last Seen: This column lists the last time you ran Project Three on this keyword under the Keyword Column List. Clicking on the title at the top of this column will sort your keyword list displaying the last time to the earliest time you ran Project Three on each keyword within the keyword list under the Keyword Column. Clicking on the title at the top of this column again will sort in ascending value the earliest time year and each keyword to the latest time you ran each keyword under the Keyword Column. The next column to the right is titled, last position. Youll note the statement in this column and the next one to the right, click to expand . Clicking on this statement will expand the rows within these two columns. You will now see numerical numbers associated with each website domain under the Website Column. In the column titled, last position, this number represents the actual ad position displayed in search engine indexing results as a paid per click add 47

to the right of the search engine results. Affiliate Elite records the position of the ad the last time you ran your project. When you have expanded each section within this column Affiliate Elite displays in descending order the lowest position of each keyword within the expanded keyword list respective to the website domain under the Website Column. Clicking on the title at the top of this column will sort in ascending value the highest position of any of the ads related to the keyword under the Keyword Column List with a number showing it in the Last Position Column of where the website advertiser had their ad positioned as displayed to the right of the search engine indexing results. The next column to the right is titled, Top Position. Again when you click on the statement within this column named click to expand , youll see a numerical listing displaying the Top Position recorded for any of the keywords within the Keyword Column List related to the website domain and its ads under the Website Column. This number related to the keyword under the Keyword Column List is the highest position ever recorded that the ad was placed relative to the website URL under the Website Column . Clicking on the title at the top of this column will sort in descending value the highest position recorded for the list of keywords related to the website domain and the website URLs under the Website Column for each keyword listed under the Keyword Column. The next column to the right is titled, Average Position. Each time you run Project Three Analyze Adwords Competition in Affiliate Elite, it will record the last position each time and then divide by the number of times you ran Project Three for this keyword and display it in the Average Position Column the position of the ad related to the keyword as it appears to the right of the search engine indexing results. Analyzing the last three columns will give evidence to whether the websites advertiser is continuously holding onto the same ad position. If you see the number in the Last Position Column is lower than the number in the Top Position Column , this means the advertiser is losing position in their ad campaign. This will bring in less sales to their website. If you see the opposite occur then the website will bring in more sales, because they will be 48

having more visitors since their ad is positioned higher in the search engine indexing results to the right hand side of the page. What youre looking for is a consistent pattern of decline in the last position held compared to the Top Position held if the number is higher in the Last Position Column . This means that the advertiser is having to compete with other website advertisers for the same keyword market. Look for the row where the number in the Last Position Column and the Top Position Column are the same. This will be where there is the least amount of competition for these keyword markets. You can see in any expanded list of each website advertiser the keywords they are continuously holding the position in the same spot and positions where they are are increasing their Top Position Ranking. These are keyword markets you want to enter into as they are demonstrating a consistent and higher profitability to the website owner. Clicking on the title in the Average Position Column will sort the list in ascending value from the Top Position as number one to lower positions such as number 10 and 11. These advertisers are paying top dollar to hold these Top Positions. The reason is they are making the most money from these ads relative to the keywords under the Keyword Column List. These are the keywords you will want to export to a keyword list and use yourself in your ad campaigns to drive visitors to your websites landing pages or to the merchant websites with your affiliate code in the URL link of your ad. By continuously expanding the list in the last three columns and looking at the Average Position Column in ascending value, you can find all the keywords that are the most profitable for each one of these website advertisers.

You can choose Clickbank or PayDotCom. 51

Step 5: Limit number of pages checked per domain. Here you will see a slider bar with increments you can select in amounts of ten to one-hundred pages at a time. You can also move the slider on the slider bar all the way to the right and select to retrieve all pages found on each domain. Step 5 is very useful when you want to only find all the super affiliates of a merchant's website. For this purpose, set the slider to the minimum of ten. Tip: If you think you are getting too many "Affiliate link not found" messages under the Status Column in the Threads View Tab, start a new project and set the slider to twenty and so on. When you are ready click on the OK Button at the bottom of the Affiliate Elite Application Interface. Clicking Cancel will cancel this project from running and return you to the Affiliate Elite Main Interface. Threads View: The next interface you will see is the Threads View Interface.

52

You will see three columns. The first is titled, "Server." This is the list of affiliates contacted on each web server throughout the Internet. The second column is titled, "Operation." This column lists the tasks and processes as they occur while Affiliate Elite is running your projects. The third column is titled, "Status." This column lists the status of each task and series of processes within each web server row. And lists whether the series of processes and tasks of each web server are completed. Above the Threads View is a Progress Meter displaying completed tasks and processes necessary for Affiliate Elite to complete your project. Report View: The next interface of Affiliate Elite is called the Report View Tab.

Clicking on this tab displays another interface with several reporting features. 53

They are as follows: Affiliate ID: This column lists all the affiliates listed at the Clickbank Affiliate Network, which are currently found on the Internet at active websites. Tip: If you click on any affiliate ID in this column, Affiliate Elite will bring up the Application Interface and automatically populate the correct information needed for you to run the second method of Project 4. This makes it very convenient for you and this will be detailed in a future chapter and will be discussed at that time. Website: This is the actual website URL address Affiliate Elite has found the corresponding Affiliate ID at. Tip: If you click on the Affiliate ID Title at the top of the first column, Affiliate Elite will sort the Affiliate ID List in alphabetical order starting with numerical order first and with ascending values. You will be able to see all the website URL addresses in the second column named, "Website," which are displaying the corresponding affiliate's ID with a link on the website page. This helps you see how many places on the web the respective affiliate is promoting his or her affiliate ID on. If you click on any row under this column, the lower frame you see in the Report View Tab of Affiliate Elite, known as the Browser Interface will populate with the actual affiliate website.

54

You will see a " Home" icon at the left above the lower frame. This will take you to the Affiliate Elite Resource Page. You will see to the right of the Home Icon two blue arrow icons. These work just like a browser and allow you to move backwards and forwards through the website URL addresses you have chosen to click on and view in the Browser Interface of Affiliate Elite. To the right is an orange stop button. This stops the webpage from loading within the Affiliate Elite Browser Interface. To the right of the stop button is a green refresh button. This button refreshes and reloads the current webpage within the Affiliate Elite Browser. To the far right of the green refresh button is a white progress meter, which turns blue as a result of how much of the webpage has been loaded within the Affiliate Elite Browser Interface.

55

At the bottom of the Affiliate Elite Browser Interface you will notice a tab displaying "MID :" This stands for Merchant ID and displays the current Merchant ID you entered in the Application Interface. This helps you understand which data you are looking at within the Report and Threads View Tabs at the top of the Affiliate Elite Projects you are running. Alexa Ranking: This column lists the Alexa Ranking of the actual website domain found under the Website Column. This is useful in finding super affiliates based upon website visitor traffic. However, please note, Alexa will not rank sub-domains nor specific web pages. Alexa only ranks the website domain. Tip: Disregard any Alexa Ranking which has a sub-domain URL address under the Website Column. The reason is some affiliates place their affiliate ID links on web pages which are published on sub-domains of a high Alexa ranking domain. 56

The Alexa Ranking For these specific types of Website URL addresses would not be accurate. Since Alexa only ranks the domain itself. This means to discard this data when considering whether the affiliate is in deed a super affiliate with many visitors coming to their website. The data in the Alexa Rank Column is very useful when determining whether an affiliate is in deed a super affiliate when the affiliate ID is linked to a web page found on a domain only. This is what the Alexa R ank data is used for. Google PR: This is the page rank Google classifies the website domain only. It works just like the principles of Alexa Ranking, except it is based upon the Google search engine Algorithm, which ranks websites based upon content and popularity. This data is useful in finding super affiliates since a high Google PR will establish a high amount of visitor traffic. Google gives preference in indexing position several times to websites with a high page rank. Tip: Again disregard this data for website URL addresses which are on sub-domains and web pages only. Websites with a high Google PR are excellent choices when searching for super affiliates, because they demonstrate the resources the super affiliate has to compete with other websites found within the same product markets on the Internet. Google: This column lists the number of backlinks pointing to the website address. Like the columns Alexa R ank and Google PR, it is specific to the domain only and not the actual web page. This is useful for seeing where the super affiliate is placing his or her affiliate ID and how many backlinks are being counted by Google. The higher the number of backlinks indexed by Google, the more popular the website is and the more visitor traffic is attributed to the website where the super affiliate places his or her own affiliate ID links. Tip: This means the more chances and times the affiliate's ID is clicked on by visitors to the respective website and therefore, the more sales they will make because of being placed on high traffic 57

websites. High traffic websites have inherently a high number of backlinks pointing to them. If you sort the Google Column data in descending order by clicking on the Google Column Title, you can see in the Website Column which websites are giving the super affiliate his or her visitor traffic. Further analysis is needed, but if you use SEO Elite V.4 with this data, you can copy the same principles for building websites the super affiliates use to attract several sales of the merchant's product line. Affiliate Elite now shows you where the super affiliate is profiting. Again, this data is only useful to the domain itself. Meaning, look only for websites where they are owned by the super affiliate and not part of a sub-domain or web page hosting site such as Yahoo 360 or Live.com, or Blogger.com Yahoo: This column lists the same values as the Google Column with one distinction. The data is retrieved from the search engine Yahoo. All tips and principles applied to the data retrieved form the Google Column are precisely the same. And therefore when searching for super affiliates the data retrieved in this column is equally important. You may also notice at times a considerable difference in backlinks pointing to the respective website over the number of backlinks reported by the Goggle column. This is due to the difference in how each search engine accepts and indexes backlinks which is inherent in each search engine's algorithm. Tip: It is advised if you are a webmaster or a website manager, you become familiar with search engine optimization principles. Further study can be obtained through the SEO Elite Forum. MSN: This column lists the same values as the Google Column with one distinction. The data is retrieved from the search engine MSN. All tips and principles applied to the data retrieved form the Google Column are precisely the same. And therefore when searching for super affiliates the data retrieved in this column is equally important. Again, the data in this column as with every other column can be sorted ascending or descending by clicking on the title at the top of any of the columns within the Threads or Report View Tab. 58

Who is: When you click on the three dots on any row within this column, a window pops up which will populate with data related to the website domain only. This is the data retrieved from domain name registries. This data is useful in verifying the website is indeed owned by the super affiliate. You can also se how many websites are owned by the super affiliate by running Project Type 4. Find Super Affiliates By Affiliate ID. This will be discussed in the next chapter.

59

Find Super Affiliates by Affiliate ID

In the last chapter you may recall we selected super affiliates based on the following criteria. The Alexa Ranking, the lower the number the better. Google PR, the higher the number the better. The number of backlinks pointing to the website where the super affiliate's ID was found. This was done by sorting the highest numbers in the Google, Yahoo, and MSN Columns within the Report View Tab. We determined if the websites were owned by the super affiliate as well. Once we determined who the super affiliates were from running Project Type 4. Find Super Affiliates By Merchant ID. We are now ready to begin finding exactly how our super affiliate became a super affiliate.

You will see a " Home" icon at the left above the lower frame. This will take you to the Affiliate Elite Resource Page. You will see to the right of the Home Icon two blue arrow icons. These work just like a browser and allow you to move backwards and forwards through the website URL addresses you have chosen to click on and view in the Browser Interface of Affiliate Elite. To the right is an orange stop button. This stops the webpage from loading within the Affiliate Elite Browser Interface. To the right of the stop button is a green refresh button. This button refreshes and reloads the current webpage within the Affiliate Elite Browser. To the far right of the green refresh button is a white progress meter, which turns blue as a result of how much of the webpage has been loaded within the Affiliate Elite Browser Interface.

At the bottom of the Affiliate Elite Browser Interface you will notice a tab displaying " AID :" This stands for Affiliate ID and displays the current Merchant ID you entered in the Application Interface.

The less the percentage is, the more in direct competition all affiliates are in selling the same products. Commission: This column lists the percentage of each sale each merchant is offering affiliates to sell their products and services. Tip: If you click twice on the title at the top of this column, you can see in descending order, the highest percentages merchants are offering to sell their products and services. Here is the real power of Affiliate Elite is. Compare the percentage in this column with the percentage in the "Percentage per Sale" Column. Scroll down until you see a difference in the numbers. 68

If the percentage is lower in the "Percentage per Sale" Column, stay away from this product. This proves the difference between what the merchant is being offered and exactly what the affiliates in the affiliate network are being paid for the sales of the merchant's products and services. This means there are returns and refunds which are lowering the actual percentage being paid. This is cause for concern and Affiliate Elite immediately shows you which products to stay away from. Now you know how to become even better at product and service selection than the actual super affiliate you are analyzing. If the percentage in the "Commission" Column is less than the "Percentage per Sale" Column, this means the merchant has decided to lower the commission offered to each affiliate than previously offered. This is also cause for concern, because it clearly demonstrates the merchant does not value the efforts of the affiliate network as greatly and/or is suffering from increased operating costs than previously projected when the commission was originally offered. Both reasons are reason enough to look for better prospects from other merchant offers.

Title: This column lists the Title of each merchant's offering on the respective affiliate network. This can vary from the actual web page title of the merchants website, but is primarily similar in nature. Tip: Clicking on the title at the top of this column gives you an alphabetized catalogue of all the headline titles from all the merchant's indexed products and services found on the affiliate network's search engine. This scan gives you ideas for how to title your own products to sell on the same affiliate network. As well as gain insight in to what helped attract the super affiliates in the first place. Description: This column lists the description the merchant used to attract the super affiliate into joining his or her affiliate program. Tip: Clicking on the title at the top of this column gives you an alphabetized catalogue of all the descriptions used. This information here when used with other columns can again give you

insight into what actually attracts super affiliates in the first place. Content here is as important as anywhere else and you can learn a great deal here, by reading the descriptions used.

Alexa Ranking: This column lists the Alexa Ranking of the actual website domain found under the Website Column. This is useful in finding other super affiliates who are gaining massive Internet popularity based upon website visitor traffic. Tip: Clicking twice on the title at the top of this column gives you the highest ranking websites based upon visitor traffic. This is based upon millions of Internet users who use the Alexa and Google Tool Bar Browser Extension. Visitor traffic is recorded through their browsers and counted. Please note Alexa does not rank sub-domains nor specific web pages. Alexa only ranks the website domain.

71

Tip: Disregard any Alexa Ranking which is has a sub-domain URL address under the Website Column. The reason is some affiliates place their affiliate ID links on web pages which are published on sub-domains of a high Alexa ranking domain. The Alexa Ranking for these specific types of Website URL addresses would not be accurate. Since Alexa only ranks the domain itself. This means to discard this data when considering whether the affiliate is in deed a super affiliate with many visitors coming to their website. The data in the Alexa Rank Column is very useful when determining whether an affiliate is in deed a super affiliate when the affiliate ID is linked to a web page found on a domain only. This is what the Alexa R ank data is used for. Tip: If you see No Data listed in this column. There are two reasons for this. The first is very promising, because Alexa only ranks the top three million websites. Furthermore, Alexa states on their website any results with more than one-hundred thousand in their ranking cannot be counted on as an accurate ranking results. Alexa states, There is not enough data collected to determine an accurate ranking result. Yet, Alexa also will still rank website domains which are as low as ten million in the Alexa Ranking Index. This means No Data is below this index position of ten million. If you see, No Data in the Alexa R anking Column, for this instance you can be assured these website URLs of the affiliate are anything but super. Therefore, an affiliate can have thousands of website urls with their affiliate ID pointing to the merchants website. However, this does not make them a super affiliate. The clear reason being without vistor traffic to the specific website URL, there can be no Alexa R anking worth noting. And therefore, without vistor traffic, there can be no sales of any significance. For this reason alone, you do not need to do any further analysis. You need to run another affiliate ID immediately in order to determine who is a super affiliate. However, before you do, se the next Tip: below. 72

Tip: The second reason you may see No D ata in the Alexa Ranking Column, is your IP Number Address you have been using to access the Alexa D atabase with Affiliate Elite, has been banned. In order to verify this open you browser and visit the Alexa Website. If you have been banned, you will see a message stating so in your browser window. And you will see the remedies available to you to ratify this problem. To date, we have successfully ran one-thousand queries at a time and have continued to use the Alexa R anking Services as it stands. Please be careful as it is very easy to start running over one-hundred thousand queries in one day if you are not conciously aware of how many projects you are running in one day. For this reason, if you plan on using Affiliate Elite on a continuous basis of several thousands of queries (one query is one row) then you may want to purchase additional IP Address Numbers through a proxy service. And limit your queries per IP Number Address to ten thousand queries per day. Tip: If you are going to use the proxy servers you have added to the Affiliate Elite Preferences, you must also insert this same proxy within your own computers Internet Connections. The reason is Affiliate Elite will use your default Internet Explorer Internet Connection Settings, if the proxy server you are using is inactive or down. This will give you the false impression your Affiliate Elite Proxy IP Number Address is working when it is actually down. You can see this in the Status Column of the Proxy Section of the Affiliate Elite Preferences. Google PR: This is the page rank Google classifies the website domain only. It works just like the principles of Alexa Ranking, except it is based upon the Google search engine Algorithm, which ranks websites based upon content quality and website popularity. This data is useful in finding super affiliates since a high Google PR will establish a continuing and increasing high number of visitor traffic over the long-term. Google gives preference in indexing position several times to websites with a high page rank.

73

Tip: Again disregard this data for website URL addresses which are on sub-domains and web pages only. Websites with a high Google PR are excellent choices when searching for super affiliates, because they demonstrate the resources the super affiliate has to compete with other websites found within the same product markets on the Internet. Google: This column lists the number of backlinks pointing to the website address. Like the columns Alexa R ank and Google PR, it is specific to the domain only and not the actual web page. This is useful for seeing where the super affiliate is placing his or her affiliate ID and how many backlinks are being counted by Google. The higher the number of backlinks indexed by Google, the more popular the website is and the more visitor traffic is attributed to the website where the super affiliate places his or her own affiliate ID links. Tip: This means the more chances and times the affiliate's ID is clicked on by visitors to the respective website and therefore, the more sales they will make because of being placed on high traffic websites. High traffic websites have inherently a high number of backlinks pointing to them. If you sort the Google Column data in descending order by clicking on the Google Column Title, you can se in the Website Column which websites are giving the super affiliate his or her visitor traffic. Further analysis is needed, but if you use SEO Elite V.4 with this data, you can copy the same principles for building websites the super affiliates use to attract several sales of the merchant's product line. Affiliate Elite now shows you where the super affiliate is profiting. Again, this data is only useful to the domain itself. Meaning, look only for websites where they are owned by the super affiliate and not part of a sub-domain or web page hosting site such as Yahoo 360 or Live.com, or Blogger.com Yahoo: This column lists the same values as the Google Column with one distinction. The data is retrieved from the search engine Yahoo. All tips and principles applied to the data retrieved form the Google Column are precisely 74

the same. And therefore when searching for super affiliates the data retrieved in this column is equally important. You may also notice at times a considerable difference in backlinks pointing to the respective website over the number of backlinks reported by the Goggle column. This is due to the difference in how each search engine accepts and indexes backlinks which is inherent in each search engine's algorithm. Tip: It is advised if you are a webmaster or a website manager, you become familiar with search engine optimization principles. Further study can be obtained through The SEO Elite Forum. MSN: This column lists the same values as the Google Column with one distinction. The data is retrieved from the search engine MSN. All tips and principles applied to the data retrieved form the Google Column are precisely the same. And therefore when searching for super affiliates the data retrieved in this column is equally important. Again, the data in this column as with every other column can be sorted ascending or descending by clicking on the title at the top of any of the columns within the Threads or Report View Tab.

75

Who is: When you click on the three dots on any row within this column, a window pops up which will populate with data related to the website domain only. This is the data retrieved from domain name registries.This data is useful in verifying the website is indeed owned by the super affiliate.
