Google deals another blow to the Work from Home affiliate.

Click arbitrage affiliate links Google just put your minimum bids into overdrive. In January of 2005 Google ensured that only one url per sponsored result would show in the search engine results pages shown. Now it seems they want to eliminate them all together by pricing the bids beyond that of the reach of the average work from home affiliate with their new quality page ranking system introduced in early July.

Earlier in the year I wrote an article about Google’s policy changes and how it affected the home based affiliate. It was centered around the policy changes made in January of 2005 and was a review of the changes I had seen over a year I wrote in the article the importance of writing quality landing pages for affiliate links and incorporating the links into article type formats. The benefits of doing this was to offset Google’s policy of only one url per site including merchant and all affiliate urls in the sponsored advertising column of Google’s search result pages. By creating a keyword relevant web page and doing minimal seo work it is possible to offset and in fact even work this policy to your advantage.

Now it seems not only does Google want to limit their sponsored results obtained through ppc to one url per program but that they are making a concerted effort to totally eliminate all affiliate links from ppc results by placing the minimum bid beyond the range of the normal work at home affiliate. How they have justified this is by claiming to installed a page quality ranking system where by pages with low ranking will have excessively higher minimum bids. In fact many webmasters are now reporting bids starting at ten dollars us per click. One poor chap was selling a product for $4.95. So even if he had a 100 percent sales rate on his paid for clicks he would be making a US 5.05 dollar lose every click. His business is basically wiped out till he can organize an alternative supplier of traffic.

Now I see the long term wisdom of Google doing this, They have to protect their business and with the poor or sometimes not quite relevant or duplicate results returned it is easy to see users becoming immune or ignoring all together the sponsored ads. We all saw how quickly banner advertising lost its effectiveness. What I do find a little unnerving is the seemly arrogance and perhaps short sightedness by doing this in the manner they have. Surely they would have been better served to have given some warning the reasons behind the changes rather than state your website lacks relevance and quality if you improve this we will look into the situation with your site. As it stands now looking through forums that cater to the ppc webmasters it is apparent that Google is going to lose a large portion of their adwords accounts to other providers.

Now on the other hand those with adsense accounts should of noticed some significant increase in the amount their clicks were paid at. I for one have not. Which surprised me having a website in the serps on page one for the keywords work at home on three of the four most used search engines. The number one spot on Google.com for keywords earn online business and many combinations of this centered around keyword phrases using earn, online, home, business, money, work, opportunity. So where is the entire extra click through bid cash going too it certainly isn’t my account. In fact this week I’ve noticed increase of only a few cents per click.

One perhaps short term benefit Is I now see a lot of products mainly ebooks and web site portal generators for Adsense that promised to show the purchasers how to make huge income from click arbitrage now being given away in joint venture promotions and freebies for joining subscriber lists. Probably these entrepreneurs have contributed more to this change needing to be implemented more than any other single other factor. As they are responsible for the huge number of sites that have sprung up to cash in on click arbitrage and as the products didn’t have the right formulas to get listed in the serps they had a total reliance on ppc traffic.

Somehow I get the feeling this is only the beginning So if you read my previous article Has Google’s New Policy Released In January Signalled the End of Work From Home Business Affiliate Links? then you better get concentrating on creating some relevant content laden landing pages for your work from home affiliate links.

Deal is an agreement that is reached after negotiation. Agreement is a mutual commitment between two or more people. A deal is a type of contract that two parties agree to follow. Deals are very prevalent in business areas, thus we are constantly hearing terms like business deals, financial deals and more.

While making a deal with another company or person, there are a few things that you should remember. When you are negotiating with another company, take charge of the situation. It is important to be in control of the deal initially to ensure a smooth flow of positive activity. You may sometimes face unavoidable situations when the opposite party cut a deal that leaves you exposed. It is not always possible to shield yourself. Leaving those unavoidable instances, try to be in control of the entire situation when you are dealing with another person or company.

While you are dealing with another company, it is best to collect the money sooner than later. Deposits, advances, and front-loaded payment schedules are ways of judging the reliability of the other company. Cash is always safer than checks in deals, and a certified check is safer than a personal one. While dealing with money matters, do not move beyond your budget. Take help from third-party financing, only after the deal is officially made.

In a deal, you should communicate clearly and specifically about your expectations, leaving no ground for misunderstandings. Have a condition attached to your deal. In a deal, make the key items subject to your approval. The best way of dealing with deals is to self inspect everything. Talk to the tenant and the franchisee to know how things are working.

In a deal, try to be the boss. Create a situation in the deal where the other party will report to you by giving you `various reports on the various stages of the deal. There are very few companies that are self sufficient. Making deals with various companies not only increases the trust between the two, but also ensure a rise for both of them.

So what do I even mean by that? Simple, they are special offers that shops and companies make more money during the holidays. Some people search the hall town to find a good deal on a Christmas present or gift for their friends and family relatives. After all who doesn’t want to save some money?

Haven’t done it before?

Why not? Ask yourself why you are throwing your money away if you could buy the same thing on a discount for 50%. So if you are buying a present for 100 euros, you could save up to 50$. And 50$ is quite some money. Think of it in this way. You are just giving it to some person whom you don’t know; you could even say you are throwing it out the window.

If you are buying a present for a friend or some far family relative, just try to get a discount price on the gift. They will say thanks if you spend 50$ or 500$ and you won’t have anything from it.

So you are too lazy to search the city for a discount price shop? That’s not a problem. Try searching the web for a bit. You could even bargain in some shops and save even more money. So if you can do it, why don’t you take advantage of it and maybe use that money to buy a new car in a couple of years. Just ask the employees for a discount price, the worst thing that they could do is, says NO. And don’t be embraced, you aren’t the only one who is asking and looking to save some money. And after all the employees are paid to be there and consult you for the best item to buy and for how much can they lower the price.

So what are you thinking to buy, a new computer, television, or even a small gift like jewelry? It’s doesn’t really matter. The only thing that matters is that you search for a discount shop and start saving some money, which you could use in a better way in a few years than giving it to some shop owners wearing a tie and having a ton of hair gel.

Ever wondered how the really rich families are actually rich? Yea! You guessed it. They save even more money than the families that have really low pays. I mean think about it. That’s why they are rich. In society they are wearing “masks”, so you actually think that they can afford anything. But believe me. They are saving money on almost all of the items that they buy. Even if you live just once and you won’t be taking the money with you to the grave you should anyway consider being “economical”. Don’t try to save money on things like expensive food etc. Just get some Christmas deals.

So think about it and start saving some money. You could be living in style!
