Affiliate Marketing Secrets

I’m fairly new to SEO however I have read and studied on this A LOT so I don’t need basics.. I have done article submission, blogs, etc. I realize my site is new but I also know good SEO can get the newest sites on top of search engine lists. Right now my main issue is getting quality backlinks and I just can’t seem to figure out how to do it properly. I don’t want junk links to link exchanges are NOT what I want.. I have asked personally to some of the top ranking webmasters in my niche and none of them will link. Please help me?? My niche is art, more specific is hand drawn portraits and my site is http://www.portraitsbysamantha.com . Thanks so much!

The company is http://tlagay.com
Affiliates are not getting credited with commissions despite sales through them. Then read their affiliate agreement and it says:We will not pay referral fees on transactions that are made by a customer who visits TLA directly (rather than through a special link from your site), even if the customer previously followed a link from your site to ours.
Please help me.

um I’m thinking of starting a website where users can sign up and submit content. Not just a forum I want something where people can build a profile of themselves and submit content linking to things like articles a similar example would be something like redgage but more of a niche site and more community then money making driven. A site builder would also be good.

I was hoping to get it posted or to get a contract, now i got a response almost imediately here is what it said “Thank you for submitting.

Is this a good sign of getting it posted or even getting a contract??

an average new release game goes for $50 or more, a movie goes for around $10. why is this? is it because of a smaller supply? the industry caters to a more niche market? is it more costly to develop a game compared to a movie? please, add your thoughts, you have my thanks 🙂

I recently got engaged. My fiance is a non-practicing Catholic (he was only baptized), and I am a non-practicing Protestant. We would really like to be married in a church though. We both believe in God but don’t really affiliate ourselves with any religion. Does anyone have any suggestions on what church we could get married at? We are in the Nassau County area…Thanks!
