Affiliate Marketing Secrets

Forget it, those Free Ipad offers which require you to sign up to 13 different trials, credit cards, etc. You have to have a credit card to qualify, the great majority of people blow some money on the products but can jump through all of the hoops they put up, some operators may never award the prie.
This example site requires you to complete 8 promotional offers (most costing you money) they make it tough in order to pay off as infrequently as possible, read the requirements:http://getofferstoday.com/info.htm?tp=to…
(It pays affiliate marketers $1 for sending prospects:)
“Program Review Getofferstoday.com is a freebies site that is simple and easy to use and has served over one billion people in the past 3 years. They have sent over 10,000 laptops and 26,000 unique gifts in that time period and they pay for shipping and handling!

Looks like the chances of the average visitor getting a prize is 1 in 27,778 ( 1,000,000,000 / 36,000 )

Hi!
So recently I’ve been REALLY obsessed with an online book website called www.wattpad.com. I’m always on, always reading… well… not yet published books. Problem is, my dad always gets REALLY ticked off when he sees me on my iPad/iPod touch, and doesn’t believe I’m reading. He always complains that he never sees me with a real book.
So can I have some good book suggestions for teenagers? I like romance, paranormal, teen fiction, and action. I hate sci-fi so… -_- Anyways, I’ve read most of the really famous ones (harry potter, twilight, percy jackson, matched, divergent, gone, the clique, warriors, fablehaven, the mortal instruments, maximum ride, the hunger games, etc.) so I probably read the famous ones by now…
Thanks in advance!

We as the manufacturer of product X, require our distributors to sell our product at our list price – neither higher nor lower. Is this common practice? Is this considered price fixing?
We only have a couple distributors and our product is in a very niche market. Product is sold mostly B2B sales.
I recently read that Walmart is reducing the price of Ipad and Iphones and I thought all the retailers were supposed to sell at the same price. Is it illegal if say Apple required Walmart and BestBuy to sell Ipads at an exact price?

I would like to advertise some apple products on my blog without having to deal with affiliate networks. My blog is at http://www.ipaddecals.net/blog/

I’m buying a Macbook Pro computer as a gift for someone, and I want to know what the pros and cons are for buying at a Mac Mall store, which I understand is not directly affiliated with Apple, vs. buying the same Macbook Pro at an Apple Store. Which is the better place to buy the computer, bearing in mind that I’m giving it to someone else and they’ll have to deal with any problems the computer develops.
The person I’m getting the computer for is essentially an “applications person,” he’s familiar with using PC’s that run Windows software, he’s a very smart person but he’s not really expert at computers in general and Apple computers in particular. He has an iPad and loves it, and his background is electrical engineering.
So where should I buy the Macbook Pro?

I don’t know where I made my mistake.  Was it in buying a used original iPhone from a refurbished electronic store?  Well, the STORE wasn’t refurbished – it was an iPhone that was refurbished from someone at a flea market.  Don’t worry – I checked the iPhone for fleas, and it was clean.  The iPhone worked – it was unlocked when I bought it.  It had a box with new headphones and USB/iPhone dock cable all prettily coiled and wrapped.  There was a lot of videos, photos, etc. etc. on it too – so much so that there was no room for anything I might want to put on it.
But I first ran the serial numbers using my iPad 2 just to make an effort into making sure I was not buying someone stolen iPhone.    As far as I could tell, everything seemed in order, though I know running the numbers is no guarantee that the item is not stolen.  But the story checked out as to why the iPhone was so new-looking for being an older model.  Apparently, someone wanted an iPod Touch, but saw that the iPhone did much of what the Touch did, but did not cost so much.  This person did not stop using his Android, however, and the iPhone was used as one would use an iPod.  Once the iPhone4 came about, this was traded in, but without nearly all the wear-and-tear that a cellphone would normally have.
But the issue is not where the iPhone came from, and there’s no cause for me to think it I should not have bought out of concern for its origin.
I thought the best way to begin anew was to re-set the iPhone.
Big, big mistake.  I cannot – for the life of me – unlock it.  I had no idea it was such a big deal to have an unlocked iPhone.  I had an iPod Touch that I reset in a similar way when it malfunctioned, and I unlocked it with no problem.
But the phone just won’t unlock.  I searched the Internet on how to unlock it, and I got a lot of “Unlock iPhone FREE” crap, but all I got was far too much of nothing to sift through before someone tried to sell me a way to unlock it.  But it was not locked when I bought it, and I am not going to pay to have it unlocked.  I bought the damn thing for fifty dollars, and it just isn’t worth the aggravation.
I went to the Genius Bar at the local Apple store, and all I learned is that those people are not geniuses.  The conversation was little more than, “I bought this iPhone.  Could you tell me ho…”
“Sir, that’s not an iPhone 3GS.”
“Yeah, I know. That’s just a box I found in a dumpster.  Listen, could you tell me how to unlock it?”
“Sir, that’s AT&T carried.  I don’t want to lose my job.”
“Um, could your job be to give me a little hint as to how I can use the phone?”
“You have to unlock it.”
This went back-and-forth a few times before I realized that this person had no business being anywhere near a giant sign that said, “Genius Bar”.
I do not know why a locked AT&T iPhone seemed a threat to his livelihood.  I’ve worked with PCs for a very long time, and am not a techno-dummy; never once in all my years of slapping together computer parts have I come across this issue.  My opinion is that fifty dollars may be a cheap lesson to stay away from Apple and their useless iPhones.  Alright, I own an iPad 2, iPod Touch – both third and fourth generation, an iPod Nano, and and a little sliver of technology called a Shuffle that looks like some itty-bitty thing my iPad 2 pooed out after a night of Buffalo-wings and beer.
But this iPhone is a nightmare!  My question is…  Um, what is my question?  Something about a phone…  Oh, yeah, that damn iPhone.  I really don’t care about it anymore.  It is just not worth the aggravation.  But if someone wants to just tell me how to do it without endless nonsense that goes far beyond what anyone can reasonably call necessary, I would be grateful.  But if this is some grand secret – like that damn Xbox and fixing the RRoD problem – that no one wants to part with, then I want no part of it…
Thank you…
