I’m not big on affiliates because i haven’t had much experience in the field but I wanted more stats before i can jump in the game so a few weeks ago i reviewed the how to be a rockstar freelancer e-book, and within a couple days i was in the top10 serps for all keywords regarding “how to be a rockstar freelancer”.
Now its almost a month later, i finally made 1 sale via the review i made here, at some point a week ago i stopped working on my reviews of other products to get some affiliate commission but i think there might still be some way i can make this work.
The only stats i have at the moment are that reviews really encourage people to buy a certain product/service this and the amount of revenue on your end depends on how good the review was of the site and whether you are being truthful or not, besides the revenue its still good to review other products with your aff link because that way you can still have potential sales within your blog just waiting to pop out and surprise you at any moment
Tip of the day: Review a product/service with your aff link anyway, it may just prove profitable in the long run.

In business, you must focus on your customers. For webmasters, this generally means your website users. Nonetheless, networking with other webmasters can help you get more customers.
Firstly, making friends with other webmasters will help you get more exposure. The other webmasters may decide to link to you or blog about you. Generally, you want your customers and visitors to tell their friends about your website and your great services. If you make webmaster friends, then they will tell a lot of people when they choose to spread the word about something because they can post about it on their website.
Networking with other webmasters will also open up the opportunity for joint ventures. By joint ventures, I refer to when one or more webmasters work together on a project. By combining their resources, they can usually do something extra great, and it will usually help give both webmasters more exposure. One example of a joint venture is a contest.
Another benefit of networking with other webmasters is that you can share expertise. Other webmasters can give you tips and offer you advice. They might be able to give you a heads up about current events that will affect you.
Maybe best of all, if you have other webmaster friends, you can ask them for reviews. If you have a product or service, you can offer them a free trial in exchange for a review. If you already have a preexisting relationship, they will be more open to making deals such as that. Also, they will be more inclined to put effort into trying your product. Even if you do not have a product, you can have them review your website or a part of your website.
For bloggers, networking with other bloggers is especially important. Other bloggers will likely add you to their blogroll if you build relationship with them. Additionally, bloggers often make a habit of reading blogs and subscribing to RSS feeds. There is a very good chance other bloggers will regularly read your blog if you befriend them. Then they will post on their blog about a post on yours whenever they read something that interests them on your blog. This can be great promotion for your own blog.
In conclusion, if you have a great website or blog and you want to help get it to the next level, I recommend you try networking with other webmasters.
Adsense for videos was launched in beta a few days ago, what i like about these units is that youtube is like the most watched video/entertainment site on the net and having ads within the videos can really really increase the revenue, which also makes me think why cant we make flash players to insert adsense into flash?
I’ll say this right now, i am not a coder so I have no idea if this is doable but if it is its worth giving it a shot, google is.. Self hosted videos, with adsense…thats where the money is!
Imagine sites like Veoh and Miniclip having ads within their flash games and videos, they could increase their revenue by 250% at least by my calculations!
