Getting good info on responsible affiliate marketing is hard
Unlike many of the other aspects of internet marketing, affiliate marketing is a much more closed environment. This means that affiliates who receive a great idea are much less likely to share that idea. This doesn’t mean they are bad, it just means that their minds are on making money and only making money.
In all honesty, this mindset is a fabulous one to have to make money, but it is on a different fork of the road than most SEO/SEM type things, in the sharing department.
When an affiliate marketer hears a good idea, their mind set is usually… “that might work for me, I am gonna try it” their mindset is not… “oh. What a valuable idea, I should share that.”
In other words, you are not likely to get a buttload of links for even the most valuable post about affiliate marketing techniques. You may, however find yourself with something even better.
Rabid fans.
I really like that Outspokenmedia covers affiliate conferences, I like even more that they cover the right ones.
I know all the people involved in such conferences and I know which ones have value and which do not.
If we all used the Rand Fishkin mathmatics of what is worth writing about (possibility of getting links plus possibility of getting more links = worth of content) then alot of valuable stuff would not get covered.
Long story short, Outspokenmedia seems to do a great job accross the board of making posts that are useful and linkworthy, and I think it is great they cover affiliate marketing conferences. Like the recent several posts they did on Affiliate Summit which is a good conference run by people I know and trust.
If you are trying to make money off the web, I would check out their coverage on their blog. They go there, they cover the sessions, and do a great job.
The point here I am trying to make isn’t just that Outspokenmedia did some great blog posts, it is actually more about the usefulness and wisdom of writing about items of interest without regard to their possibility or probability of getting links. We all need to get links, but every post need not be link bait. Posts should help and pleasure and inform your readers.
I agree with what you’ve said regarding OutSpokenMedia. I read the blog and it really has useful information. Plus, the owner really says what she means. She is a true and transparent person. This is the reason why I read that blog.
Andrew thanks for the reply. This was one of the posts I often do where I just blurt stuff out. As I look it over I see I could have been more clear about one thing….
Anyone (ourspoken or otherwise) who are already dedicating time to affiliate advice type posts could really make out well in both user loyalty and search engine rankings by exploring the subjects spoke of at summits and conferences.
Thanks again for the comment.

I understand what you mean here and you are almost right. Affiliate marketing is a serious business to begin with so if you really wanna earn more then you have to exert more effort also. I visited the OutSpokenMedia even before and I must say that most information there are relevant however there might be some points that I am not totally agree. More post like this please!

I just start my adventure on blogging, I found more interest on affiliate marketing.
Nice post.
Nice sharing, great info. Surely i don’t know about outspokenmedia, but that’s ok. I will look at that.
Dang I’d share what I learn, but no one would listen
I wouldn’t even want to try to compete in the niche of teaching affiliate marketing.
I don’t really agree that there is little good info on responsible affiliate marketing. Sure, there is a lot of crap out there by people who don’t really know what they’re talking about and I’m not familiar with Outspokenmedia so can’t pass comment on what they are doing.
However, when I started full time internet marketing back in 2002 it was selling an affiliate product (hotel bookings) and all the info I used to make myself successful was available for free online.
You need to know what to look for and when you’ve found people who do talk sense, make sure you keep up with them.
I need to know about affiliate marketing to much.thank you for you sharing.

I agree with you in affiliate marketing most of the people don’t share their experience. It is much hard to get actual information in the field of affiliate marketing compared to any other online field.
