I made this little video for the Super Affiliate Handbook homepage but thought I should share it with you as well. It gives you a peek inside 9 of my affiliate accounts in real-time. Who says you can't make money as an affiliate marketer? 🙂
Meet Yanik Silver – Internet Marketing Maverick
Yanik really ‘gets' it…
Yanik Silver is one of my favorite friends in the Internet marketing business – both online and off.
What makes Yanik special is that he ‘gets' it — ‘it' being that life is for living and work is about funding the good times with family and friends.
Go to one of his Underground Seminar conferences and you'll see that attitude at work in spades… his conferences are as much fun as they are educational… which makes them my all-time favorite conferences to attend.
Here's a brief bio about Yanik from his profile on Amazon…
Yanik Silver woke up at 3 o'clock in the morning with a silly idea for an online business and is now recognized as the leading expert on creating automatic, moneymaking web sites…even though he still can't put up his own webpages.
Starting from his one-bedroom apartment and with just $1800 invested, Yanik has personally sold over $12,000,000.00 online and counting (with zero employees except his wife, Missy). He's sold everything from eBooks on fitness, drawing techniques and houseplants to $20,000+ “MasterMind” programs. He drives more traffic to his homemade, barebones sites than huge multi-national conglomerates.
Yanik is a highly sought after speaker addressing groups ranging from the prestigious Wharton Business School to international audiences of 3,000 and up. He has shared the platform with well-known experts such as Zig Ziglar, Dan Kennedy, Ted Nicholas, Mark Victor Hansen plus celebrities such as Verne Troyer and Peter Graves, among others.
As a self-described “adventure junkie”, Yanik has found that his own life-changing experiences such as running with the bulls, bungee jumping, sky diving, exotic car road rallies and Zero-Gravity flights have not only brought a profound sense of accomplishment but also led to breakthroughs in ideas, focus and business thinking.
Yanik is the author and publisher of several best-selling marketing books and tools including:

Datafeedr: Affiliate Stores for WordPress Bloggers
Gone are the days of flat file manipulation and sharing 4th click revenue… Datafeedr is here. HURRAY!
Datafeedr is a slick new solution by Stefan Everaet and Eric Busch for WordPress bloggers who want to easily incorporate merchant product datafeeds into their blogs.
Features include:
- You'll never have to deal with raw datafeed files again – HURRAY! Datafeedr has eliminated the technical hurdles for converting raw datafeed files into webpages. Just pointing and clicking is all what is needed.
- You won't have to rely on supplied merchant datafeed categories (some were very VERY sloppy – if they existed at all). Now you can create your own store categories and subcategories.
- You can add search for and choose exactly which products you want to add to your store..
- When you ‘subscribe' to a specific search, existing products will automatically be updated and new products meeting the search criteria will be added to your product list.
- You can combine products from different merchants across different networks in one store.
- Currently, there are products available from Shareasale, CJ, Linkshare, Netshops, Bridaluxe, as well as Shareasale coupons and deals. Plans include adding Affiliate Window, Commission Monster and PepperJam.
- Individual products can be embedded in blog posts.
- There's also a drip feed option… so you can post a product (or two or three) per day and send those out via feed to your subscribers.
Stefan and Eric have posted a very good video on the homepage showing how the setup process works and detailed video tutorials are available to help you set up your own affiliate store using Datafeedr.
Subscription plans for this service are available starting at $27 per month.
I highly recommend that you watch the video so you can see for yourself what a slick operation Datafeedr is. Personally, I LOVE it!

Video: Which Clickbank Affiliate Gets Credit?
From Todd….If more than one affiliate is involved driving traffic to a Clickbank merchant's site, who gets credit?
The first? The last? The affiliates in the middle are just out of luck?
Clickbank cookies last for 60 days. Does this mean the visitor can come back anytime within 60 days and you still get the credit, right?”
Right… or almost right.
Even if your visitor returns to the merchants site through a bookmark or search engine within 60 days, you would still get credit. However, that's UNLESS they click on another Clickbank affiliate's link in the meantime… because it's the last affiliate clicked that gets the credit.
The links below are used to demonstrate how that works in the video.
Video: The Lighter Side of Blog Comment Spam Moderation
I found 265 spam comments in my blog's comment moderation queue this afternoon.
This video shows how I actually do filter through mountains of spam looking for valid comments that go astray and get mistaken as spam.
And although it seems like I'm scrolling through the list pretty quickly, the video (or running Camtasia) seems to slow my scroll rate down by about 20%. So imagine it happening that much faster.
