Tony,
I just want to say that I thoroughly enjoyed your book. I read it in one sitting and now I am preparing for my first campaign. I am concerned though about the amount I should set for my daily budget. I do not have a lot of money to waste. I see people talking about 20 or 25 dollar daily budgets. I am thinking more in the line of a 5 dollar a day budget which means I am willing to lose 150 dollars in a month. Should I wait till I can save up more money or will this be ok to start with?
Thanks,
Tim

Tony,
Hey. Hope your move went well.
Question 1: I’ve joined multiple Affiliate Networks. What I’m seeing is that very few have Merchants that allow direct linking (allowing their URL in the Display URL). Can you point me to a network that is more “direct linking” friendly? Maybe you could offer suggestions?
Question 2: Can you state whether 301 redirects from my domain to merchant’s domains is OK with Google? Getting lots of fuzzy answers on that question.
Thanks!

Is there any way, using the methods you discuss in your Affiliate Millions book, to connect the specific keyword or keyword phrase that someone has searched for and clicked through, to the actual purchase transaction? I currently measure this data on my own sites with Google Analytics, but since the Adwords ads and associated text links already have the variables defined, and since I can’t track what actually happens at the retailer’s end of things, it seems like I am unable to fine tune my campaigns by the effectiveness of specific keywords.
Or I’m just missing something. Any ideas?

Hello Tony,
I just finished reading your book, actually, I’ve been through it twice, and appreciated the “no nonsense” approach you take when explaining this business. I have a question that Jason also hit on in an earlier post. I’ve run many campaigns, some with limited success, and my biggest road block seems to be product selection.
My question would be, do you think product selection based on popularity (search traffic, etc.) is better than program earnings? I’ve marketed a few high network earning products, had great CTR, but little or no conversions. In comparison, when I’ve marketed targeted products or product lines using targeted, narrow keywords, I’ve had more success.
I get the feeling from your book, and some of your posts here that you go more for the high volume, high competition products, and beat them with better ad copy. Is this a correct assumption?
Thanks,
Shawn
