Q: My website is www.peaksviewcountrymercantilestore.com. I was going to use it on the farm, home, ranch page. You might take a look and see if you have any ideas. Let me know what you think. I will be out most of tomorrow so you can take your time and e-mail me back.
A: From first impression, I would assume this is a site that has information on horses/farming. However, when clicking on the links, it only contains Banner Ads. I would recommend you add informational content on your site based on what you promised on your home page:
"As in bygone days of the country mercantile, our hope is to meet your needs, from human to animal. The country mercantile store used to carry everything from ranchwear to cheesemaking and from fencing supplies to salves and vaccines."
A great site to model is http://www.kitguy.com. All his content is in the middle and all the Banner Ads are in right column. For his store, he is using Tool King's product data feed: http://www.kitguy.com/tk/shop.php?page=S-1960 which displays each product individually. From your site, it would be hard for a customer to find a product base on their needs. For example: customer clicks on the banner, goes to merchant site and might not even find what they wanted to look for in the first place.
I hope these ideas will move you in the right direction. Please don't hesitate to contact me with any additional question.

Since we're not all blessed with the ability to distinguish what looks good, Peter at Website Magazine is asking us to reconsider the use of pre-structured design. In his article, Rethinking the Use of Pre-Structure Design, he gives a few tips on choosing a template:
It’s difficult, if not impossible, to determine the most used pre-structured design template on the Web. But there are certainly a few that stand out (if not scream out) as popular among template users. Most design template resources provide a rough idea of how many times a template has been downloaded and that figure can provide a guide on what to stay away from if you want the design you choose to be unique. Case in point, popular template RedTie has been downloaded a whopping 172,000 times since first being added to OSWD.org.
However, don’t dismiss a template purely on the number of downloads — it can indicate a platform’s stability. If a template is rarely downloaded but has been available for months or years, that might indicate it’s difficult to use or customize. Also check for active demos because they can provide a glimpse of the customization possibilities. And look for user comments to get an idea of any pre-existing flaws or issues.

ToolKing is partnering with ShopWatchBuy for the month of September to give affiliates an innovative new way to use video using embedABLE™ technology. ShopWatchBuy is giving Tool King a 30 day free trial, so there's no monthly fee for us and you will also get to keep all your sales commission. It's simple to use and works like this:
- Register for a FREE account on ShopWatchBuy and place your Commission-Juntion (CJ) id under the embedABLE™ tab.
- Visit http://www.ShopWatchBuy.com/store/ToolKing and click on the red embedABLE™ link for the product video you want to use.
- Your CJ id is automatically inserted and used for the video players "Buy Now" button - just cut-n-paste the embed code presented to you.
- What's really cool is that once the video's on your site, the affiliate link travels with it! For example, a visitor to your site shares the video from there onto FaceBook - your affiliate link goes with the "buy Now" button.
To get started, visit: http://www.ShopWatchBuy.com/store/ToolKing

Have you searched for a domain name and found that it is already taken? Domain names have been continually growing to more than 177 million worldwide and their sales value have been increasing by approximately 20% per year. The domain name is one of the main ingredients to any online business success:
- Domains are equal parts pathway and destination … they are both the avenue and the storefront of the internet
- Creates the first impression online; Primary way an online consumer interacts with your brand or brand extension
- Also the primary way,they locate your online store
While at the Affiliate Convention in Denver, I attended a presentation by Victor H Pitts, Vice Present of Moniker and SnapNames. Victor sent me a copy of his presentation, and with permission, asked to share it with our affiliate partners. You can listen to the audio at Webmasterradio.fm and take a look at the presentation below:

Q: We were hoping you could create a piece of creative that fits one of our standard ad sizes: 300x240 (a typical size is 300x250 which could also work).
If it could be tailed to promote woodworking, all the better. It will reside in our Workshops section, which features great woodworking workshops and would be an ideal placement for Took King woodworking related equipment.
Thanks very much.

The Affiliate Convention held in Denver, Colorado was considered a success according to WebmasterRadio.fm. I was there and can say it was a pretty good turn out. Can't complain when the event was free and beer was served for free. Free beer... can't beat that!
I was expecting a long line, however, it didn't take no more than five minutes to get signed in. Picked up my pass and I was good to go. It was still early (about thirty minutes early) , good time to go find an empty seat in the main affiliate room (room was still empty at the time, as you can see the picture in the left).
I picked out all the affiliate classes in which I thought was most interesting. Here's what my first day schedule looked like:
11:00 - 12:15 PM
Super Affiliate Marketing Techniques
1:30 - 2:45 PM
Mobile Affiliate Marketing
3:30 - 4:20 PM
Landing Page Optimization, Creating Higher Conversion Rates
4:30 - 5:30 PM
Managing Search Campaigns That Scale - Tips from the Pros
If you didn't attend the affiliate convention, I have pictures that I took with my T-mobile G1 and WebmasterRadio.fm has recorded audios you can listen to. You can listen to the audio here: http://www2.webmasterradio.fm/affiliate-convention-conference.

Q: I want to know if there is a way we can set up links directly to certain categories of your products, and even directly to particular items?
A: You can make your own customize text links with our Legacy Redirect Link (Link ID 10426666) on Commission Junction. It's a short and simple process of setting up links to any page or product on www.toolking.com. Here is an example of the affiliate tracking code for our DeWalt page:<a href="http://www.anrdoezrs.net/click-(Insert PID)-10426666?url=http://www.toolking.com/brand/dewalt-tools/" target="_top">DeWalt Tools</a><img src="http://www.tqlkg.com/image-(Insert PID)-10426666" width="1" height="1" border="0"/>
Now all you need to do is change the parts that are highlighted in red.
- Insert your PID where indicated.
- Insert the URL of the landing page
- Insert the Text you would like to display
<a href="http://www.anrdoezrs.net/click-(Insert PID)-10426666?url=http://www.toolking.com/dewalt-dw718-factory-reconditioned-12-inch-double-bevel-sliding-compound-miter-saw" target="_top">DeWalt DW718R Factory Reconditioned Compound Miter Saw</a><img src="http://www.tqlkg.com/image-(Insert PID)-10426666" width="1" height="1" border="0"/>
Simple, right? Let me know if you need any help creating a customize text link.

If you are an affiliate, this event is free for you. Unlike other conferences, they believe it is fundamental that an affiliate should not pay to attend the event. The convention is meant to provide you with the opportunity to learn from your peers, find better commission deals, as well as explore new products to offer. They are expecting 1,000+ affiliates in attendance at the inaugural event.
The convention is free for all working affiliates with a diverse line-up of speakers and workshops. It is free for all affiliates, however, you will have to be a member of AffSpot.
- Sign up first at the AffSpot website.
- Fill out the form at the AffiliateConvention.
- Include your AffSpot username for verification.

Sometime last week, we promoted this product through our deal of the day and sold quite a bit from it. We decided to keep the price the same and give all our affiliate partners another chance to promote the product as well.
The Milwaukee 2601-82 compact drill measures just 7-3/4 inches in length allowing it to easily fit into tight areas. The compact motor on the 2601-82 delivers 400 in-lbs of maximum torque. Other features of this Milwaukee cordless drill include a built-in LED light to illuminate work surfaces and a belt hook to free up both hands for work positioning before fastening. Weighing just 4 pounds, the Milwaukee 2601-82 is one of the best compact drills on the market right now.
I think the easiest part in promoting this product is the price - it's about $50 cheaper than some of our competitors. Take a look at this screen shot of a search for the product on Google:
Click Here for more information on the Milwaukee 2601-82. Don't wait too long, these should sell quickly considering how low they're priced at.

Who wants a pay raise during this economic downturn? I am proud to announce that the Tool King Affiliate Program has raised the commission rate on all our affiliate networks. We have increased the Tool King Affiliate Program default commission payout from 5% to 6% for all our current and future affiliate partners.
With the pay increase, we hope this will allow you to also increase ToolKing.com's exposure through any of the following:
- Add more Tool King banners on your site

- Add more Tool King deals/coupons on your site:
Example: "Free Shipping on all orders over $149. Use Promo Code: SPRING." - Add more Tool King products on your site via our data feed
Example: - Increase your PPC campaigns::

- Build another niche site geared toward tool users:

Tool King already offers some of the lowest prices found on the internet and now with one of the highest commission paid in the construction/tool category, there's no reason not to be active in Tool King's affiliate program. In a recent article, Don Cohen, founder of Tool King stated, “...tools are a basic need of society” and therefore will always be in demand. “No matter what the state of the world, people will always need drills, saws, hammers, etc. Tools are what make modern civilization possible.”

I came across some helpful tips on how to get your site indexed in Google and other search engines quickly, while browsing through Andrew Shotland's blog, Local SEO Guide. Recently he has been helping people with their new sites, however, he has been doing this for years and these are the some of the helpful things he has picked up:
- Navigate to the page with a Google toolbar enabled browser.
- Email the site to a friend using gmail.
- Mention the url using the http protocol and www on message boards w/o a link (http://www.blah.com/). Try not to be spammy.
- Make toolbar requests to compete.com , alexa.com & quantcast.com.
- Buy some Google Ads to your pages (this forces Google to crawl these pages to assess your quality score)

As you may already know, California recently proposed bills similar to the law that recently passed in New York. This didn’t come as a surprise as it was foreseen by many and the domino pieces will probably continue to fall. However, PMA (Performance Marketing Alliance) is getting a group letter sent to Assembly Committee members responsible for evaluating Bill 178 to oppose it.
If you are a California resident with a business in the state, they need your help. CLICK HERE to add your name to the letter by going to Performance Marketing Alliance’s website. A hearing date for Bill 178 is expected to be heard on April 13, 2009. At this time, if the law does pass, it may or may not affect you. Below are links with additional information:

I just received an email stating that it's that time of the year again to set your clocks forward 1 hour before you go to bed on March 7th. March is here and that means it's Daylight Saving Time. Just when I was starting to get use to the other time...
However, I do like the idea of there still being sunlight after work. So because March is here and everyone loves to save, Tool King is offering free shipping on all orders over $149. Just enter in promo code: MARCH when you are checking out and you will receive a discount for the amount of $9.99. Don't wait to promote, you only have 3 weeks left before April gets here.

Here are 5 quick tips to help with your article. The tips were posted on Ezine Articles Blog by Penny:
1. Refrain from using excessive keywords or keyphrase repetition as this provides for a poor user experience and your article does not read naturally.
2. Use correct spacing and formatting. Let your article word wrap naturally and place one vertical space between each paragraph break. A “Vertical Space” means to hit enter twice when at the end of a paragraph.
3. Write unique content. Do not spin your previously written articles into the same regurgitated content. You owe it to your readers to provide unique value in each one of your articles.
4. Make sure that your article body delivers on what is promised in the title. The most common mistake is when authors lead their readers away from the article to deliver what was promised in the title. This again provides poor user experience and is a huge trust violation.
5. Proofread your articles and look for spelling and grammar mistakes. If English is not your primary language, have your articles proofread by someone whose primary language is English prior to submission.

During the past few months, I have noticed a sales increase from our coupon affiliate partners. It's not surprising as I have also been looking for more ways to save. I then came across an article last week, "Coupon and Deal Sites Up in Down Economy" by Lisa Picarille. Here are some interesting information from the article: “As the nation’s economic woes continue, consumers have become increasingly careful about their purchasing decisions, with most now seeing online research as a normal part of their buying behavior, even for small purchases. Retailers that offer discounts, special promotions and product comparisons to engage – and keep – these consumers will have more success than those that continue to try striking emotional chords through traditional channels. These strategies, when combined with an understanding of the various online shopping personalities, can be effective in winning over new consumers and influencing hardcore shoppers.” The study went to state that, hardcore online shoppers, termed “weekly shoppers”, can be influenced by coupons and discounts, but so, too, can a new consumer segment PSB discovered called “recession shoppers” – those who will shop more online if their personal economic circumstances deteriorate. Specifically, the study found that: “68 percent of “recession shoppers” (and 79 percent of “weekly shoppers”) purchased something online they wouldn’t have otherwise because of a coupon or discount. 64 percent of “recession shoppers” (and 70 percent of “weekly shoppers”) said they purchased something from a particular online retailer they wouldn’t have otherwise because of a coupon or discount. In the newsletter I just sent out to our affiliate partners, I included these current deals:
- Buy a selected DeWALT 28V Nano Tool and receive a FREE extra battery and DC519 Flexible Floodlight ($130 Value)
- DeWALT Hard Hitting Rebates! Get a free DeWALT Tool with selected tool purchase.
- Jet Build-Up Savings Event! Buy JET products and get FREE tools and accessories! Click Here for more details.
