So has anyone here had success with or even tried affiliate marketing? I didn't think this was the place where that would get mentioned, but that seems to be who the blogger is most concerned with.

I've been doing affiliate marketing for about 2 years now. So far my best months have been five figures of profit (my best day was four figures of profit). But I know of other folks that are doing much more than that..
I guess someone could say "You're doing it wrong" to me here. I've tried integrating affiliate adds with blogs and another site that did rental listings. I've made 18 dollars after tens of thousands of impressions.
I've come across so many affiliate marketing "seminars" and eBooks, but they all smell of "get rich quick" scams to me.
Anyone care to share what works vs what doesn't? I'm really confused on the topic.
"Think Google will not do it? The last time I read their terms and conditions, there is nowhere that it says they cant do this. They will make oral statements saying things like “If we did that we would lose the trust of our advertisers and go out of business”, but they have refused to put that in writing in any way, shape or form. In other words, they can do it." Except that they won't, because what they say is actu…
Once they have your data, they can mine it forever...

Wow. Um. wow. I guess someone could say "You're doing it wrong" to me here. I've tried integrating affiliate adds with blogs and another site that did rental listings.

I'm not sure if a discussion of affiliate marketing is really relevant to "Hacker News".
There are a couple of eBooks I would recommend, but you can get most of that info for free if you read some blogs and forums. Just search for "super affiliate blog" and start your research there.. :)
I agree! Clicky [ http://getclicky.com ] FTW. Live traffic trumps delayed data anyday!

It really depends on the site and the niche and what you are trying to do etc. I'm not sure if a discussion of affiliate marketing is really relevant to "Hacker News".

I agree for now. Google needs to protect their bread and butter, paid search, which requires advertisers to have a lot of trust that Google does not act in any way creating a conflict of interest. However, right now is the good times for Google. The true test is to see how a company (or real people) acts during the tough times. Google's time as king of the mountain will only last so long, and it will be interesting t…
(and I say this as someone who's not particularly fond of Google to boot)

That looks nice, but $17/month for a max of 50,000 pageviews/day is a bit of sticker shock when coming from Google Analytics (and they obviously realize that, since they have a "Why would I pay for Clicky when Google Analytics offers the same thing for free?" section).

We'd offer it for free if we had a way to. But we have to pay the bills and buy new hardware somehow...
We've got some web analytics functionality as part of our marketing software suite and it is one of the more expensive things to support.
