Myspace is a different story. If you have a website or blog you need to be using Twitter. Twitter can actually send more traffic to your site than all of the search engines combined (except PPC). Have we ever seen a marketing tool as good as twitter? Randa,

In fact, one of my best friends has had problems. His two daughters kept going to Myspace until his and both daughters' computers were down with viruses and they supposedly had great security. It seems like I'm missing out on an opportunity but I don't want to risk it. I'm curious about any comments on this.

Twitter is a great place to build relationships, customer loyalty, and to create authority - from there is where the selling begins. Thanks for the great feedback everyone.

Squeeze pages are not a problem in the vast majority of cases- vendors are able to pass the affiliate Hop ID through the squeeze page, so they can properly credit affiliates when a sale eventually gets made. In many cases this actually works better than the traditional "one chance" sale because they are able to slowly convince the potential customer of the value of the product, rather than having just a few seconds to do so while they're on the page. This is a tried and true technique in affiliate marketing, and if it didn't work and wasn't tracked properly, affiliates would quickly abandon that vendor, dropping their gravity and impacting their sales. The bottom line is that squeeze pages work. There may be some vendors who don't pass affiliate information properly, but those vendors are quickly identified by savvy affiliates and stop being promoted. No vendor succeeds long-term by cheating affiliates out of their commissions, and the vast majority of vendors recognize this and play fair. Whether you want to promote products with squeeze pages is up to you, but many affiliates do so and do just fine. Beau Gus,

I enjoy using Twitter, and have been trying to monetize my time there. It is challenging. However, best practice dictates that if actions by others annoy the crap out of me, I won't follow suit. DMs with links to affiliate sites are just silly...it's like walking up to a stranger and saying "Hi, my name is Joe, please buy my stuff." No one would do this in the real world, and it shouldn't be done on the off chance that a person with click through to your offer. I see why people do it, I just think it's tacky.
