    (OUR SEAL)

    This is a concept I developed in late 2005 and I launched the website in December 2005, however, with my other online activities, I find I just cannot devote the time to this project.

    Background:
    With the explosion in online affiliate marketing over the past several years, affiliate marketing has seen an increase in scams, schemes and seductions that have tarnished the reputation of the industry. This not only applies to some affiliate programs themselves, but many of those who market them and the tools of the trade. More sites now flaunt the essential affiliate qualities, ideals and ethics this industry was built upon in search of higher profits with little regard for for those with whom they deal. More affiliate programs, affiliate marketers and affiliate educators are taking advantage of consumers and other affiliates alike out of sheer greed. This has cast the industry into a bad light in the minds of many affiliate marketers and their consumers.

    It is time ethical and honest affiliate programs, affiliate marketers and affiliate educators were recognized and held up to the affiliate community and consumers as models of Excellence in Leadership in Affiliate Marketing Principles? In order to help reverse the negative trend so often seen today, and to accomplish the goal of improving the reputation of affiliate marketing, a group of us has created this certification program and membership site – to recognize and reward those sites that practice Excellence in Affiliate Marketing Principles and instill confidence in those consumers who shop online at affiliate marketing sites.

    Are you ready to set yourself and your site apart from the rest? Are you ready to step up and declare your war on those who would tarnish our livlihood? Are you ready to show Mr. and Mrs. Consumer they can trust you as an honest and ethical business person? If so, we're sure you'll want to join us, proudly display the L.A.M.P. Seal on your site, and enjoy the benefits of membership!

    What You Get:
    1. Domain Name
    2. Complete site files.
    3. All member benefit files and programs

    BIDS:
    Bidding will be open until midnight, February 28th. The highest bid…whether $1.00 or $????.?? Will be awarded this site, domain name and all the files. We will work out a mutually beneficial transfer process that we are both comfortable with.

    Please note: I am advertising this offer on a number of forums. The HIGHEST Bid, no matter which forum, will take pssession of this site.

    If you have any questions, whatsoever, please do not hesitate to contact me.

    Best regards,
    Jim Guinn

    Hi Jim,

    No. I built it in late November, but have never marketed it. It has just been sitting there. That's why I want to sell it. I don't have time to do anything with it.

    To further the concept....I had spoken to a few other affiliate marketers about it. We were tossing around the idea of a "team management" whereby we would all review a site according to the stated guidelines and vote on it's "acceptability" into the program...and conduct periodic site reviews to insure ongoing compliance. This way there could be no "favoritism" or individual bias. We thought this would futher "legitimize" the concept....but like me, these other guys are very busy too. (one of the team members...there are three...is thinking of taking it over, but has not made me an offer.)

    As I mentioned, I think the concept has it's place in affiliate marketing and the right person or people could make it work....it would truely be the first certification process exclusively for affiliate marketers that own their own sales sites.

    I am open to all serious offers. I am not looking for a crazy high offer, just an offer that is reasonable from someone who wants to further the concept. Price is very negotiable.

    If you have further questions, just ask.

    Jim

    I have a figure I would like to get for it....however, as stated, I will sell it to the highest bidder whether that figure is met...is not met...or is exceeded. If no one bids, I will just dismantle the site.

    Fine...You are the first bid.

    If anyone wants to bid privately, you can PM me with your bid. I will then update the bid here with the price so you know the latest bid, but I will keep the bidders name confidential unless s/he tells me to post that also.

    If you want to visit the Members Area, use

    I have an ebook, software and services section...all free for members. I was just beginning to stock it. There are 13 ebooks and software pieces there worth over $1300 retail. They are included with the site.

    Obviously, I have disabled the download links during this time....:)

    Now, that's the spirit...a real bidding war going on here. :p

    Do I hear $20? :D

    Seriously, though, as I said, I just don't have time for the site. It's value is in what someone thinks they can do to develop and promote the concept further...and turn it into a relevant site for affiliate marketers....like a jl scott did with iCop or similar site....and, I guess the $1300+ in member ebooks and software is worth a few bucks if nothing else.

    jl scott of iCop once told me people laughed at him when he started iCop (International Council of Online Professionals). Now he has one of the largest online certification programs with a few thousand members worldwide.

    If you don't want to bid Johnny, keep your comments to yourself. Thanks.
