Yunar’s Online Venture

Currently i have 3 different hosting accounts at Hostgator, Ipower, and Servage and i will tell you my experience with them:

Hostgator (baby package)
$7.95 per month (for 3 years order)
600 gb diskspace
6000 gb monthly transfer
Domain unlimited
This is the most expensive hosting comparing with my others web hosting accounts, i like them for some reason:
the response time is faster, the webmail URL is more friendly (yourdomain.com/webmail), they are using cpanel interface, the server located in US.
No complain so far, Click here if you want to register with hostgator.

Ipower (Pro plan)
$3.98 per month
1,500 GB / 2,500 E-mails
15,000 GB of Bandwidth
Domain unlimited
I hosting several domain here in one account, one thing i don’t like is you can not install another wordpress when you already have one with it (using automatic installer). I think you must install it manually for the 2nd and on.
The support is bad, you will be hold for a long time before can chat with someone.
I will not renew my hosting account there.

Servage (one plan)
$6.45/month
510 GB Web Space
5010 GB Transfer
Domain unlimited
This is the only web hosting with clustering technology I know. I feel satisfied with their service so far, the customer support is superb, you can wait their answer in short time (approx. 30 minutes).
My server located in UK and my business mostly for US, so this is bothering me a little, beside that everything is perfect.
Click here to register with Servage and receive 25GB extra space.

I know this is frustrating , while you want to lower your cost advertising and increasing your profit when you check your adwords account you shocked your keyword minimal bidding going up to $5-$10. You got slapped by Google and its hurt.

Another time you found it’s hard to find thousands of targeted longtail keywords for your account. You also need to make different ad text in your campaign to find out which one working well. Not to mentioned time you spend to research all this things.

Well if you want to ease your PPC campaign effort into minimal time with maximum result you may try this software.
It is not only for Google adwords, but also runging well with Yahoo Search Marketing, Microsoft Ad Center, Valid Click, Affiliate radar, ASK, Enhance interactive, Looksmart, Abcsearch, Search123, Miva, Goclick.

Super affiliates also using this software to create thousands of targeted keywords in less time. If you want to success like them, you should also use their tools.
The price is not cheap, but its worthed.

This is good news, especially when you running self hosting wordpress blog. Now you don’t need to manually create script to hide your link. Patchlog.com already made it for us, take a look of his post here.

The plugin is released under GPL and the usual “No Warranty” disclaimer applies.
Enjoy.

Many times we facing the situation that required us to hide our affiliate links. Some people use it to hide the link from affiliate hijacker, some use it for SEO sake and some just to shortening the URL.
Whatever your reason is i agree that we better hide that links for our goodness.

I used to create php or html to hide my links, today i found another technique to do that using PERL and javascript.
Ryan J. Parker wrote the interesting post about this called “shortening affiliate links for prettier linking”

Another technique reveal by the famous John Chow in his post called “hiding affiliate links for better seo”
John add no follow and no index parameter to tell search engine not to follow the link is no the content page.

Both posting are great to me, i hope you enjoy it also and find it useful as i did.
Thanks to them for the great posting.

I heard the buzz about PepperjamNETWORK and i decided to join the program. I found that they allow us to be paid via paypal, this is cool since in my country need 2 weeks to wait for the cheque to arrive + 1 month to cash it.
In pepperjamNETWORK the payout for each offer is relatively higher than my other affiliate program, this for sure will increase my earning.

Many big names merchant are unique, so you will enter the niche with less competition. They also give you many “recommended keywords” to promote your campaign.

There is pepperjamADS where you can put on your website, it’s a contextual ads widget to serve ads from one or more Pepperjam Network advertisers at the same time. The ad unit come in various shape and sizes.

The other is peperjam chat, where you can communicate with your merchant partner. Using this you can request private offers, custom advertisements, coupons, or anything to your merchant partner.

With so many features and merchant inside pepperjamNETWORK, i’m sure it will increase my affiliate earning.

I was there too…. looking for the best solution to track what keywords that convert well in my campaign.
I tried to create my own tracking script, it worked but still lack of features that i want to monitor.
Until someday i found a website that provides all tracking features that satisfied me… and the best of all it’s FREE, yes its free.

The Website/program owner is Wes Mahler, i couldn’t believe he give us this tracking program for free, while many others charge you for this. Although this program is FREE the quality is very good, easy implementation, and have very clear video explanation.

There are 2 versions of tracking202 program:
1. One is from tracking202 itself you don’t need anything, just register for free and you can directly make a tracking script for you campaign.
2. The self hosting tracking program called prosper202, you must have a domain and hosting to install this program.

Keywords tracking sample and many more tracking features you’ll love.

Go ahead, register for free and make a fortune from affiliate business

When you’re running adwords campaign for affiliate program, one of the most important is keyword tracking.
If you can track all keywords which made sales, you can increase your profit by removing the unprofit keywords and add more profitable keywords.
This is my experience when tracking COPEAC promotion using adwords.
I made a landing page for an offer (You can not directly send adwords traffic to copeac’s offer, it will shown a pop up window, and adwords will reject it).

On the adwords destination URL i wrote:
http://mydomain.com/index.php?subid1=google&subid2=topringtones&subid3=
{ifsearch:search}{ifcontent:content}&subid4={KeyWord}
COPEAC can track up to 5 level, here i use only 4 level.
First level tracking i wrote ‘google’ to make a mark that the traffic came from google adwords
Second level i wrote ‘topringtone’ is my campaign name.
Third level i wrote variable ‘{ifsearch:search}{ifcontent:content}’ to make a mark whether the traffic came from search or content traffic.
Fourth level i wrote the keyword variable ‘{KeyWord}’ this will contain the keyword people wrote on search engine.

Now you must wrote this code to your first part of index.php ( or whatever name your file is).
< ?php setcookie("subid1", $_GET['subid1']);
setcookie("subid2", $_GET['subid2']);
setcookie("subid3", $_GET['subid3']);
setcookie("subid4", $_GET['subid4']); ?>

The last thing you must add this to your call to action link (eg. signup.php).
< ?php
header ("location: http://www.cpaclicks.com/redirect.asp?a=xxxxyouraffid&b=xxxtheofferid&d=0&l=0&o=&p=0&subID1=
$subid1&subID2=$subid2&subID3=$subid3&subID4=$subid4");
?>

That’s all. Now you can tracking the keyword by click statistics - GetSubIDstats - displaysubIDstats

When you click you will see all keywords like this:

What Is Your Anti Virus Program ? or What Is The Best Anti Virus Program ?
I’ve been asking this many times, most of people who asked this found that although they already installed Anti Virus program, they still got infected

They feel secure from virus when they bought and install anti virus program, unfortunately this is not true. There is no guarantee that your computer will safe from virus although you bought the most sophisticated anti virus program. They only minimize, not eliminating the risk

Some measures you want to consider when minimizing risk of getting infected by virus :

For personal use I like Avira AntiVir Personal Edition Classic (I’ve been using it for years).
When I installed other Anti Virus Program I feel my computer performance degraded much, but not with this product.
If you need manually update the virus definition file, click this and download the file.
