As you will have guessed I’m not the most prolific blog post updaterer (is that a real word??) but when I do, you know it’s worth reading about. This post IS an affiliate product I am proud to promote because it’s one of those that does exactly as it says on the ‘can’. If you sell digital products online you are no doubt aware of the two most popular affiliate networks, ClickBank and PayDotCom.

While both of these are great and I highly recommend each of them, recently I came across a brand new service that really caught my attention. It’s called PaySpree and the main reason it attracted me is that ALL its members get paid for their sales instantly by PayPal. Even affiliates get paid for their referred sales instantly by PayPal.

I expect it to be a massive hit as the lure of ‘instant commissions’  played a big part in the huge success of products such as ’7 Dollar Secrets’ and the ‘Rapid Action Profits scripts’.

I’ve actually come across products for sale that are just lists of affiliate programs that pay instant paypal commission and I’ve seen many threads in the various internet marketing forums asking about where to find instant commission affiliate programs. Now there is an entire site and marketplace dedicated to them.

One beauty about PaySpree is as soon as you become a member you can start promoting any product in the marketplace, and you can add your own products so affiliates can promote them for you. All commission payments are handled automatically by PaySpree…  now that sounds like a winner to me.
I signed up as I wanted an alternative to Clickbank’s unfavorable conditions, I had a good look around the site and it seems pretty simple and non cluttered, check it out and let me know what you think:  Payspree.com

P.S. Unlike Clickbank you do not need to add various different payment methods to your account before being paid AND if you join the Payspree full program it is only $29.00 and you can promote as many of your own products as you choose, Although, you CAN join as a free member and still add 1 product of your own to the marketplace (for free).

Payspree.com

P.P.S. If you do decide to sign up then I would appreciate if you were to leave the affiliate link intact as then my hard work in researching the internet to bring you the best info I can is worthwhile for you AND me.

If you want to run a profitable website, understanding how to interpret and use web analytics is vital to your success. You can find out what you’re doing right, and duplicate it. You can also find out what you’re doing wrong and avoid it.

The problem is, getting started with web analytics, and more specifically, Google Analytics, is a cumbersome task. And trust me, I know. Right now I’m working to implement advanced analytics tracking into the DIYthemes.com website.

While doing research, I stumbled on three fantastic resources that will help you understand and use web analytics. So, I figured, why not share them?

Occam’s Razor

“Analytics is vitally important, and no one explains it more elegantly, more simply, or more powerfully than Avinash Kaushik.” – Seth Godin

If you haven’t read Avinash Kaushik’s blog, Occam’s Razor, you should. During my research, his blog has been, by far, one of the best resources for web analytics tips.

More specifically, here are two articles I found extremely helpful:

* 3 Advanced Web Analytics Visitor Segments
* Beginner’s Guide to Web Data Analysis

Also, if you’re interested in learning about web analytics, Avinash literally wrote the book on the subject. Find it here on Amazon (affiliate link).
Measuring Success

If you use Google Analytics like I do here, you’ll need more specific information on how to use Google Analytics to drive results. That’s where Brian Clifton’s blog, Measuring Success, comes in. Here are a couple awesome articles from his site:

* How to Track Social Media with Google Analytics
* How to Choose Between Advanced Segments and Filters in Google Analytics

If you’re interested, Brian Clifton wrote the book on Google Analytics. Find it here on Amazon (affiliate link).

VKI Studios

If you’re anything like me, you probably have limited knowledge of Google Analytics—meaning, you know how to check keywords, referring traffic, and top content. If you’re looking to become a Google Analytics power user, VKI studios created a great quick-start guide.

Thats it! Hope you found this enjoyable reading, see you soon & don’t forget…feel free to comment.

Well it’s 2011 already and I wish you all the very best for the coming year.
Things here have never been busier, since having my main site hacked I have implemented many new security features on my pc & laptops to ensure it never happens again. If there is one thing I have learnt the hard way is to keep a complete backup on a separate drive and to keep updating it on a regular basis.
My main site Resale Rights For You is now nearing completion and is far superior to the last site in so many ways, plus it’s bigger with much more room for quality content. I’ll post more details as I get nearer the end which should be within the next week or two at most.

In the meantime I want to bring to your attention a great product which for the time being is being given away for free, you will have to hurry though as its only on for the the next week… What is it? I hear you scream!!

* You could track your banners, find out how good they really are doing?

Above all what if you didn’t even have to worry about editing your WordPress theme to do all of this?
