Late last week someone told me about a new traffic source. I was really interested to test out a new traffic source that I thought would do really well because of its professional network. This traffic source I believe has just started launching their ad platform on their social network. I was noticing ads on [...]

A merchant has emailed me the following text:

I would like to know what is the range of percentage paid out in the affiliate program? Someone told me it is between 3% to 25%. Is that right? What is the lowest rate you have seen so far? the median? and the highest?

Lately I have been working with the local client stuff and optimizing their site and page. One concept I had for the client was to do a lead capture instead of doing a phone call. This way I can guarantee my leads and it will be up to the client to sell their services to [...]
