Affiliate Marketing Secrets

I’m setting up a website about travel and tourist destinations in North and South Carolina. I hope to make money when people click my affiliate links.
However …
I wonder if affiliate sites do better with a narrower focus like motorcycle roads in North Carolina, or things to do at the beach in South Carolina?

I’ve read messages on here that are 2, 3 and more years old saying that Yahoo is working on a way for members to take over Yahoo email groups that are abandoned by their owners. It seems like it would be simple to do with these steps created by Yahoo:
1. Create a button for members to click to tell Yahoo’s computer system that the members think the owner has abandoned them.
2. When 2 group members have clicked on that “I’m abandoned” button, Yahoo would automatically send an email message to the owner asking them to reply to Yahoo with a special code or to a special website
3. If no reply is received from the owner, repeated email attempts to contact the owner would occur once per week for 2 months (in case they are on a long vacation with no email access).
4. If no reply is received from the owner during that 2 months time, the people who told Yahoo about the abandoned group would be made owners of the group.
A good option would be for the members to be able to vote for one of their own to take over the list of an abandoned group. This could be done by adding a “I vote for the following people to be in charge of this group” box, next to the button for members to click to tell Yahoo’s computer that the members think the owner has abandoned them.
1. Yahoo could have a pull-down menu of all members in that group, to be selected by the members reporting the abandoned group.
2. Yahoo should send an email (with a reminder a week or two later) to everyone in that group, telling them that 2 members reported that the group had been abandoned. These messages could give the name, ID and/or email address of the owners, asking all members to contact them, if they know them, urging them to assign someone else to be the owner, or become an active owner again.
3. The people with the three top number of votes from the group members would all become owners of the group. Hopefully with three owners, there would be very few abandoned groups in the future.
I ask again, is Yahoo really working on a way for members to take over an abandoned group?

I want start doing Affiliate Marketing with Clickbank but before I promote a product I want to buy the digital product so I can review it. If I dont like the product how long will I have to wait before I can get my money back? Will I have to wait 60 days? Also when you buy the product can you buy it from click bank or do you have to buy it directly from the vendors website?
Also does anybody know about a good forum I can visit to ask more questions like these?

I want to promote a click bank product. It is one of the best click bank weight loss products. Most of the online marketing forums & articles give advice to create web 2.0 properties, articles, blog comments etc and then add back links these so that they will raise in the SERPS. But what if i add back links directly to the affiliate link instead of creating web 2.0 properties. Will my affiliate link raise up in the SERPS? Can i got to first page of google? One more thing i am using a .info domain re-directed to the affiliate link. I am adding backlinks to the .info domain.

Someone help me please!!!!!! When ever i click on a link to go to a site, i get redirected to some fake search site like ( DO NOT CLICK THESE LINK)

On the TAB in my browser it says Jump. and also when i click on the back button drop arrow key i can see the word Redirect in there. I am using Firefox and i have used malwarebytes, adaware, spybot, and found nothing,

I have a web site. I want to monetize it by sponsoring TV channels through it. Like for example, http://www.teluguone.com or http://www.yupptv.com etc. They offer different packages and if you subscribe to them, you can login. Then, you will find different tabs representing TV channels. You can click and watch the channel on your computer. This is what I want to do? BUT HOW? I could not find any affiliate program in any TV channel’s site? Any help is greatly appreciated/
