You can always find two commentators saying the exact opposite. Its about testing for yourself - most people read rather than do.

I just couldn’t pass that up! Now to be fair, you wrote that a almost THREE years ago and things change-people too for that matter.

Anyway thanks Chad; I got one of my first $25 ppc coupons from you a couple of years back when I decided to move from Adsense to affiliate marketing. I think your banner link had broken or something so I emailed you and you sent me a good link. Now I spend THOUSANDS on ad space. In fact, I came to read your Adbrite piece because I had such terrible conversions from there recently and wanted to see how other people were doing with it.

There is a lot of misinformation out there about affiliate marketing, everywhere you look people are saying opposites. The only way to find out something for certain is to do the ground work yourself.

Most of what I read on forums are not believable anyway. You’re right. You won’t know if something sucks until you try it your self. Just entering this game and on my first step of research. Following great posts like this.

I think this just says it all…

Do research, pick a niche, set up some campaigns, test, track, optimize, test new traffic sources and repeat.

That right there could be a best seller book on how to make serious money online!

Yes there is a ton of misinformation out there about affiliate marketing. I’m sure some it is purposely misleading to prevent more competition in their niche or on their hot traffic source. Never assume that everything you read it 100% true. In this industry, a lot of people like to ramble about their assumptions or theories.

I agree that all those pessimistic comments people make comes from their own experience, and because of that it’s not an absolute truth.

I think it’s important to note the other side of that argument as well. Those affiliate marketers that reveal their highly converting traffic sources, their niches and so on work for them, but it might not necessarily work for everyone.

Anyhow, can you list some of the affiliate marketers that you keep up to date with?
