DealDotCom: Cheap Internet Marketing Products
DealDotCom is a new site from Jason Potash & Marc Quarles offering big discounts on the best Internet Marketing products, using a “deal a day” format.
From the site:
“DealDotCom is the place on the web to find all the Internet Marketing products you really want for rock bottom prices. We sell products and services that help save you time and money when it comes to running your online business.”
Unfortunately, there’s no prior notification of which product will be on sale when, nor how much you’ll save. So you have to visit the site regularly — well, daily really — to be sure you don’t miss out getting something you really wanted for a lot less than normal.
Sounds very promising though, and of course you can just bookmark it.
DealDotCom Affiliate Program
There’s also an attractive 3-tier affiliate program, that pays you commissions for life on purchases made by anyone you refer. You also get a commission on sales generated by people introduced by anyone you refer.
As Jason and Marc say on the site, this could bring you some healthy commission checks and a nice passive, residual income.

What would happen if every time someone performed a search, they found EXACTLY what they were looking for in the first few results?
This is what would happen: people would hardly ever click on the Adsense ads displayed on the results pages.
Why do people click on ANY link?
Because they think that it will take them to a page about whatever it is they are looking for.
Why do people click on the Adsense ads around the search results?
Because they think the ad is more likely to take them to a page about whatever it is they are looking for than the other links they see on the page.
Key Point:
