Web Marketing Strategy Update

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.

Back in March, Google bought Urchin Software Corporation and its online web analytics service.

The service enables website owners to track visitor behavior and marketing performance and was priced at $199/per month.

Now re-branded as Google Analytics the service is being offered free for up to 5 million pageviews a month, or with no limit at all if you’re an active AdWords publisher (you can use Google Analytics directly from the AdWords interface).

“Google Analytics tells you everything you want to know about how your visitors found you and how they interact with your site. You’ll be able to focus your marketing resources on campaigns and initiatives that deliver ROI, and improve your site to convert more visitors.”

Google Analytics can automatically provide AdWords ROI metrics, without you having to import cost data or add tracking information to keywords and you can track up to 50 profiles.

Sign up is via your Google account (this is becoming a very easy way for Google to learn all about you, no?) and requires pasting some JavaScript code into your web pages for tracking.

I plan to give it a try on one of my sites soon, in place of the more basic AWStats log file analyzer I currently use.
