Canspan Act And Affiliate Responsibility
If there's one affiliate absolute it is to NEVER, for any reason, send an unsolicited email to anyone that is promoting anything. No commercial messages, unless the recipient has specifically requested that you send him/her email promoting a product or service. And don't ever buy, borrow, lease or trade email lists. If you send commercial email at all, carefully read up on spam regulations and penalties at http://www.spamlaws.com/federal/can-spam.shtml.
The CAN-SPAM (Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing) Act took effect on January 1, 2004. It is a federal act, enforced by the Federal Trade Commission that requires unsolicited commercial email to be labeled as such. Included in the regulations (again, read it all, and any amendments that may be passed) is the requirement that all unsolicited email must include subject lines that are not deceptive, as well as opt-out instructions and the sender's physical address. At present, the FTC is authorized to establish a "do not e-mail" registry similar to the "do not mail" and "do not call" registries, but it has not yet done so.
Not wanting to antagonize recipients, however targeted they may be, most mailers stick strictly to the double opt-in method, in which site visitors subscribe to a newsletter or ezine, are sent a confirmation email to the subscriber. Only when the subscriber confirms by return email that they wish to be a subscriber does the site begin sending them emails. Every ezine, newsletter, newsletter link or other email-based commercial message must include an opt out method, usually a link, as well as the actual street address of the mailer.
There's just no point in sending unsolicited email. It dilutes your efforts and damages your reputation and makes you much less attractive as an affiliate partner.

How To Become A Poker Affiliate Cashing In On Poker Affiliate Programs
To the casual observer making money from online poker might seem like a far-fetched fantasy. But hundreds if not thousands of people are. Most of whom do not own a poker site or work for them directly. Many of them may never have even visited a poker site. Dismissive persons may believe that such a program is just another of the Internets highly ineffective get rich quick schemes, but the truth is very different.
The affiliate industry is a way of for two parties to make serious money based on the success and skills of the others. A successful affiliate will draw in large numbers of visitors to their site and then pass them on to the poker company where they will hopefully choose to sign up. If the affiliate fails in their role of attracting visitors to the online poker forum they will receive no payments and therefore will not be maximising their profit capabilities. Therefore it is in the best interests of both parties that the affiliate does all they can to produce the fully signed up members to a poker site. The site gets their customers and the affiliate gets an income for the lifetime of that player. In return it is in the poker sites best interest to not only get new customers but to also keep them. By introducing bonuses, special games and other retaining ideas, the poker companies can keep a gamer interested for more time and therefore produce more money for the site. More money for the poker site also means more money for the affiliate, which makes almost everybody happy.
Most poker sites offer affiliate programs with varying offers and percentages of a player's lifetime value. Players create money for sites by entering tournaments, playing in hands with large rakes and by adding extra money to their account. So fundamentally all a player needs to do is play regularly to produce an income for the site. Therefore an affiliate can earn a cut of all this money made for the site. The percentage may range between 20 and 35% depending on the site and their individual affiliate plans.
Once the affiliate has passed the player onto the respective poker site, their job is effectively done, for that player. They must then concentrate on attracting more and building on the initial success. There is no need for follow ups or extra work after finding a player, the job is done when the link is clicked on and a person signs up to a cash account. All the affiliate then needs to do is sit back and wait for the player to earn them some extra cash.

Using Wordtracker To Find The Best Affiliate Keywords
The benefit is clear an optimized web page will get you much higher placement in the search listings. But how can you choose the best keywords and key phrases? Guessing doesn't work well, but what process does? Software that helps you identify the universe of keywords relevant to your site by identifying the keywords used by your competitors. The next step in the process is to see how many people used each of these terms in a search. This is compared to the number of sites that contain the keywords. One program, called Wordtracker performs this calculation, and helps you identify the number of searchers and the number of sites containing the keyword.
Wordtracker can help you identify niche keywords you may never have thought of. It tells you the exact terms used by your customers and prospects to find products, services and information. Some of these words are used only a small number of times on competitors' sites. But if actual search statistics indicate that they're used by a reasonable number of individuals in searches, you've found a way to reach your market with less competition.
Once you've mastered the basics of a Wordtracker search, and you've observed or polled your customers about their buying behavior, more possibilities for word research will be apparent. For instance, if you sell binoculars, and you know most of your site visitors use them for bird watching. You may enter into Wordtracker terms such as migrating birds, or fall migration. You'll then have an entire new set of keyword possibilities to consider and evaluate from a competitive perspective. The more you use it, the more possibilities appear.
