I’ve just noticed a rather creative attempt to use the sponsored reviews systems. One of the advertisers at Sponsored Reviews is offering up to $10 for your review of a website hosting/building program. The twist – the advertiser does not own the site – she is just the affiliate and asks you to use her affiliate link in the review.

That’s interesting. I could imagine that if the affiliate program converts well, the advertiser could indeed profit from this scheme. Compared with using AdSense to drive traffic to your landing pages etc., this approach has two advantages:

First of all, if you've never before heard about Andy Williams, I highly recommend that you visit his site at ezseonews.com and especially his blog, update usually on Sundays. Andy is really fantastic and shares a lot of common-sense knowledge about niche marketing, research, tools and products. He also offers some of his own products, which usually are worth having (I own some, I will write on them soon).

Today, I would like to draw you attention to one of the greatest and most comprehensive affiliate manuals ever written. Andy is the man behind this manual. The second best thing about this manual, besides it being so great, is that it is completely free and you can download it right away.

Believe me, it's not like many other free ebooks that you've seen in the past. It's the most solid, common-sense knowledge - 170 pages of it, in fact!

So, don't hesitate and get your copy here.

Choosing the right affiliate program(s) for your website can make or break your online business. Simply follow the steps in this tutorial to greatly increase your chances of discovering the best affiliate programs available in your niche.

Obviously, I assume that you already have some ideas what your niche could be. If you need some inspiration, you may try these two articles before proceeding any further with this tutorial:

• Profitable niches in under 10 minutes
• A fool-proof way to discover the hottest markets
  

In a recent article I wrote about a quick and efficient way to discover new and profitable niches you would probably never think about.

The article generated quite a lot of buzz and was discussed in several forums. If you have not read it, please do so now - I believe you will not regret it. In short, it shows you how to use Wikipedia and a keyword tool from Google to automatically generate new niche ideas.

However, some of the people asked in the comments and in the forums whether this technique is limited to Wikipedia only. Of course it is not! Wikipedia was just an excellent example, because it's so content rich, but as a matter of fact, you could use virtually any website as your source. Obviously, depending on the quality of the website, your results will vary. Today I am going to show you a new twist to the same method. I hope you will enjoy it.
