    I usually target a specific affiliate per domain. We sort of. I normally test an affiliate with about 5 domains initially. If it converts I build more. If you find a very high converting niche product though there is no reason why you couldn't or shouldn't build multiple domains for a single product.

    Personally I do nothing besides what is built into the software. I use an interlinking script from our members area, and that's it. Others will ping their sitemaps to get the sites some attention, or get them a link from one of their white hat sites. It doesn't take much to get the ball rolling. Right now we have a lengthy thread where everyone is having a competition to see who gets indexed fastest and stays the longest. The results of that will be useful for everyone.

    Affiliate as in affiliate program. Your typical affiliate has hundreds if not thousands of products. Our cj scraper for example only works with affiliates that have a product catalog. There are thousands that do though ;). You can also import datafeeds with our software so don't just go with cj. Try share a sale, linkshare, moreniche, etc. There are thousands of affiliate programs out there, and they all work with our software. We have 4 different methods of importing keywords :)

    Looks like we've got a couple spots open. Get in while you can. We're getting a pretty solid core of regular users. The majority of members have been with us for 6 months or more. We just have to weed out the people that aren't serious until we get to our core group of 100 and permanently close the doors.

    Wow!

    Seems awesome.

    If I wasn't so broke trying to earn some money then I'd spend some and get rich.

    Quick Question: How do you get .edu backlinks?

    I'm a member of sec myself, not making any money but it's my own lazy ass fault :)

    I would suggest everyone to sign up, i plan to make my money back (200-300 bucks for domains vps, and the program cost) Within one month, I'm taking it slower than most people it seems, but I'm fine with that.

    The potential is there, will you abuse it or let other beat you to the money? :O

    It's definitely there to take advantage of. It really comes down to how much you want to make via the effort you put in. Some people just want a little extra monthly expense money, others are earning a living off of it.

    I've been done reading all pages of this thread and it makes me really excited to jump in.

    I don't have any experienced in affiliate marketing and really wanted to try this for a long time and maybe now I just need to.

    some questions:
    Will it affect if you're not based in the US? such as declined by advertisers?
    If I'll use your free hosting to save me for vps cost, will I still be earning considering spending like 10 hours daily with this?
    Or what are the advantages if you have your own vps and how much would be the cheaper one we could choose?
    Is there a member who haven't got any sale in a month, is this possible?

    thanks

    1) I haven't seen any negative effect by being in another country. We actually have members in 29 countries at the moment.

    2) The free hosting is fine to start with. I owuld consider getting a vps when you can though. There are so many domains on the hosted servers that it takes linger to get initial traffic.

    3) Most of our members have a vps. From what I have seen in our server forum, they start around 30 dollars a month. Most can handle at least a couple hundred domains once configured.

    4) Sure, it's possible. Some people don't put forth any effort. Most people that cancel have 5 or fewer domains. Of course their odds of making a sale with that little effort are going to be low. It's a numbers game. I try to make that very clear up front. I also have a "noobie guide" that gives pretty detailed ideas of how to be a success. If you build some domains, read the forums, and ask questions it's pretty easy to be successful. It's when people are afraid to ask questions, don't read the forums, etc that they have problems. :)

    You pretty much sold me to it. I just have 2 questions:

    1) I want to boost traffic for a website of mine. Will SSEC help me do this ?

    2) Is everything needed included in the 69/month membership ? (besides domains and VPS)

    Thanks,
    AlexJDB

    Not for the amount of money people are making :D

    Also, another similar service charges 2000 bucks per month, granted they have hosting, but still :eek:

    Well I thought I would come to this thread and actually learn a little something - little did I know its just 1EighT spreading his blackhat lameness again lol.

    But on a positive note, judging from the value you are giving your members, $69 does not seem like a hefty price what-so-ever.

    If someone feels $69 dollars a month is too much to put down to make some extra money, then maybe the webmaster business isn´t the right career path for you. I heard Walmart is hiring ... ;)

    We have hosting included in the 69 dollar a month price. I suggest you get your own vps at some point, but you are welsome to start on ours and stay as long as you want.
