Was there any followup from this?

What were the results like?

Or maybe Kris + Co can do a followup?

Got it. You’r answers are stylish though. The mistake i was doing was putting “http://”. It made me a long time. However figured it out after some time

I noticed someone has done a nice job with AStore from Amazon. Might give this a try. You could have tons of products all set up and post your links to your Astore.

In my honest opinion I really do not know. However at the phenomenal growth rate Kaboodle is experiencing, I think the time is now for getting your affiliate links in there. I have been using Kaboodle as a source of internal links to product pages since Kaboodle has so much power in getting indexed and ranked so fast. I’m sure that if I really wanted to I could get really aggressive with the site and dump a thousand affiliate links into directly. I decided to go a more subtle route and link to pages that offer a bit more on descriptions and allow me the opportunity for optins.

Read the Affiliate Marketing category Ed as there are some quick and aggressive ways of making money. Since the upcoming launch of of my partners and my CPA Network I have not really gotten the time to explore a whole lot of money making ideas. This is a good reason I had to break the Kaboodle posts up and even come back to write out some ideas to get past a few issues.

This works like a charm. Just like you said it will and I can have someone do this all day with no problems.

But here’s my question Ruck… I know you don’t do this for Affiliate commissions, but do you think this method can generate a couple of hundred a day in affiliate income?
- if not, have you blogged or posted any methods that if worked on hardcore, like 8+ hours a day, can generate $200+ a day?

Thanks for the Kaboodle share. I can’t believe how nicely you laid this one out for us. Simply awesome.

I have done the manual post and the only problem I find is you can’t get a picture off the sales page. Is anyone else having this problem. I just add a picture from a different URL but it only shows on the list, if you click on the picture when it shows the item the picture does not show up, weird. I’m still screwing around with it too so we’ll see.

Need to have a Gravatar or MyBlogLog account with an avatar.

BTW Ruck, how do we get our pictures in our blog comments?

Actually while I was trying in vain to figure this out I found a potential privacy hole. If you examine the properties of our blog avatar pics (in firefox right-click and select properties and view the end of the Location url) you’ll find the commenter’s email address embedded inside it.

It’s a bit of an effort to find it manually, but the work of a few minutes to code a bot to harvest them all automatically.

Ahh well you can still do the lazy affiliate method and add links to Kaboodle via manually. If you were optimizing your listings before with the toolbar, this doesnt really take too much longer.

I just added straight from the merchant and I was not happy with it. That is why I am pursuing the mash-up sites. Trying to figure this all out before I go any farther.

@suzie
I haven’t tried this so I don’t know if it would work, but couldn’t you use a php or meta redirect and give that to kaboodle instead of the straight aff link? An extra level of separation might make it work.

I tried it with some known sites like bestbuy.com and some others..and used your above method..but it showed up as affiliate.bestbuy.com

I found that unless its a well known shopping site..kaboodle will take our affiliate links if not it defaults to its own affiliate site links.
I am not sure if I am clear here..! What i meant is use lesser known merchants from Cj, sharesale, etc.
