With the holiday season fast approaching, more and more businesspeople are considering getting an Australian business visa for a different taste of winter.The Australian winter is actually the friendly reversal of Europe's and the U.S.'s version of deep frost and snowstorm, which is why the Land Down Under is always a top pick for holiday business travels and for business people who'd like to extend their work well into winter.Businesspeople are wising up on the extended opportunities Australia's holiday can give their businesses. Even before harsh winter sets in and forces them out of their own countries, investors, senior ex
Say that you are a beginning affiliate. Your income may be $100 per month. Does this sound reasonable to you? It is an example anyway...
So, referring to the study case, you may be losing 100 x 0.30 = $30 per month in sales.
This is $30 in pure loss Each and Every month that's passing by without you protecting your links.
Or, let's say you are an active "power charged" affiliate. In this case, your income might reach $2000 per month.
Your loss in sales is 2000 x 0.30 = $600 per month. Hmm...
Finally, let's suppose you are one of those "super affiliates"! Your monthly income is at least $10.000. Let's do the math again.
Your loss is 10000 x 0.30 = $3000 each month! Ouch!
Get the picture now? It is up to you to estimate your own losses -- I don't mind if you send me your stats. So I can do the math for you ;-)
Seriously. You know how harmful "link theft" is for any affiliate, I have to tell what exactly it is.
So. What Is Exactly "Link-Bypassing"?
You definitely know that your earning commission is in the link you have received from the owner of the affiliate program -- a.k.a the merchant. In other words, you get your money when you make a sale - Assuming you have joined a "pay-per-sale program". And precisely, you earn money when your visitor 'clicks' on your own link and make the purchase!
Right?
If done properly, the visitor hits your link. A cookie (or any other tracking system) will be deposited in their computer. After that, the merchant program rewards you as the sale referrer. So your account is credited immediately. And you receive an e-mail telling you that you have just earned a commission. Fair you said!
Well, that's the best scenario.
"Link-bypassing" happens when the visitor knocks at your website and notices the service you are promoting. And then she figures out the service "home URL" and specifies it into the web browser's address bar directly...
In this case, no cookie was deposited in the prospect's computer. And that means NO referrer... So YOU get NO MONEY.
Huh!?!
You Have Just Been Bypassed!
Unfortunately, this happens everyday and it will continue for the years to come because most of the marketers are not aware of it. Note that this also applies to referring 2nd-tier affiliates. As people want to be at the top of the tree. And they just don't want to be another member in the downline. Even if it is fair because you worked hard to achieve that!
Am I right?
Don't get me wrong, "link-bypassing" may be the consequence of a deliberate action of a pirate. But it may also be an innocent action from a curious prospect. It is a fact, curiosity is a human nature. And you, as an affiliate in the Internet, you have to work with it! So if you please, let me take you by the hand, and show you how you can deal with link theft.
How Can "link-bypassing" Be Possible?

A small personal gesture goes a long way and really sticks in our memories. These special moments happen every time someone remembers that special day or that thing you really like. You always like restaurants or bars where the bartender remembers your name or that drink you like. It could have happened 20 years ago but you still remember that first birthday card or Valentine. Almost nothing is as intoxicating as someone else making you feel important and appreciated, especially when you know that they went out of their way to do it. These gestures, no matter how small, have a huge impact on a person.This applies to your business rela

As an online affiliate our main purpose is not to sell other peoples products but to pre-sell. Our main role is to market the information regarding those products and develop ways and means to bring traffic to the merchants themselves. One of the key ways of doing this is with solid relevant content.If I have a web site on cats then I need quality information on all things cats and then match that with suitable products. What benefits visitors also are if I can save them research time? Provide them with all the possible information necessary to answer all their questions. This way they can then go through to the merchant warmed up and

In today’s business world, with its connectivity and information flows, good employees are likely to be the targets of your competitors’ recruitment drives.Add to this the fact that in the knowledge economy, these employees provide your company with a competitive advantage, and you realise pretty quickly that you need them to be happy – but you already knew that didn’t you?The question then is how to keep them happy? Employees who are unhappy or who leave, present the company with a cost that is often far greater than imagined. Keeping them happy with more money, promotions, bigger offices, better located offices…(the list is s

But there is still another dirty trick to get access to your affiliate link. Here it is: Visitors can open the context menu from your link and hit the "Properties" command. Form there, a dialog box would appear and tell them your exact URL :(
And there is even another way to your affiliate link: Viewing the source code of your web page...
But, the most important thing to keep in mind is this:
In a "link-bypassing" case, you (the affiliate) are the ONLY losing part in the transaction! Because the merchant gets the payment in full and the customer receives the product he/she has paid for. BUT your commission is simply discarded... Will you continue to stand there and take it?
Don't you think it's time to take action and get your share of the profits you deserve?
