Last night as I was reading through my Facebook news feed I came across a video from Shawn Collins, the founder of Affiliate Summit:

The above video got me thinking…. Is Shawn leaving a lot of money on the table? So I was thinking and then a moment of enlightenment came- if Shawn does not want to do paid reviews I will. Heck, I have done them in the past (more about that in the future)!

So I am extremely excited to announce

Now I know some of you maybe thinking that I’ve lost my mind. But do not jump to conclusions yet! Did you notice my secret weapon??? Yep. The newest innovation in the SEO industry- once you get a link with that attribute (“tripplefollow”), your site will appear not in the first, second or third place in the search results of all major search engines but above their Logos!!! No one attempted this ever before, and while I am still in beta with this new attribute I can tell you prospects are incredible!

I am also thinking of implementing an affiliate program. I am still working out details, but I am pretty sure to have one of the highest commission in the industry starting at 99% (or $14,850.00) per review sold. How about that for an affiliate program?

In the upcoming days I will be revealing more details- so keep an eye on my blog! But if you have an idea of how I can make this even better, go ahead leave a comment.

There are still many things I do not understand about affiliate marketing. One of such things is the way many merchants choose to handle commissions that need to be reversed. Depending on the products or services you choose to promote, 5 or 6 reversals can very easily amount to over $1,000 in commissions. This may not be a huge deal for affiliates earning 5 figure a month, but it certainly is from me.

So if you are an affiliate manger I ask you these questions. How do you handle reversed commissions? Do you explain to your affiliates why?

I am a big man, I can handle bad news. I understand my referral could have canceled the service or returned the product. It does not take that much effort or time to explain why you are reversing my commission. But it can also can help me to improve my campaigns, which in the end is a good thing for you as well.

I imagine that all the legal mambo jumbo in the agreement between you and me may not require you to provide any explanation. If this is your approach, I don’t want to work with you.
