1. I’m glad you wrote. I have been putting some updated advice on the website to address this issue. The site itself is very new, and I have only this week become aware that people are having difficulty signing up with some affiliate networks, Affiliate Fuel in particular.

   You see, many of these applications are being automatically turned down by the affiliate networks’ servers when the site visitor field is left blank, or zeroed, or when the site URL field isn’t filled in, without consideration of the fact that direct search marketers may not have a site of their own to list or to generate visitor statistics. The impressions your ads will get on search and content networks, however, are the closest correlating statistic for a search marketer, so I am recommending you use that, just make it clear in the description that your ads will be running on search & content networks, and that you used the closest correlating statistic (impressions) for a search marketer when you filled in the unique visitors field.

   What I am suggesting now, in addition to putting a search engine URL (such as http://www.google.com) in the website URL fields and stating your intention to use search marketing on that site – and others – to generate traffic, you should also fill in the Visitors per day or month fields with estimates of impressions (not clicks, but each ad view, clicked or not) your ads will receive. 350 per day, or 10,000 per month will get you accepted into most networks, and either of those numbers should be very easy to meet.

   With Affiliate Fuel in particular, I can offer some additional help. My contact there has advised me that if my subscribers add “referred by tonybbb” (my account ID) to the description field, the application will go to him before it is approved or denied, and he can work with me to assist in getting it approved if there are any issues.

   Thank you, by the way, for your purchase of my book, and for visiting my web site. I am happy to help in any way I can to make your search marketing business a success.

2. Thank you for a great book. I followed your advice on the Affiliate Fuel Application Issue. I got a phone call from AF to verify some of my information and I got an approval email the next day. Thank you for your help. So far Affiliate Fuel looks real promising.
