Uber Affiliate Marketing Guide
last updated 7/9/2013
Welcome to the epiphany in your affiliate marketing career. What I’m going to present here is a constantly updating mega affiliate marketing guide. It will be article links from blogs and forum posts. You will find everything you need to get you started with affiliate marketing, which means never again will you PAY FOR ANY AFFILIATE MARKETING INFORMATION. There’s too much quality free stuff out there for you to waste time and money buying something else. I’ve sifted through blogs to find the top informational posts that covers most topics of affiliate marketing. If you read every article in this guide and still go out and buy an affiliate marketing eBook without putting what you just learned to good use, you’re stupid. These articles will give you a very solid background into affiliate marketing and all the different techniques you can use. All you have to do is go out there and test what you learned. Keep what’s converting, and drop what isn’t. As I’m completely positive I haven’t covered every good article out there, make sure to contact me and hit me up with some links to add.
My CPA Networks and Tools
I’m just going to list out the affiliate networks I use, as well as the tools (paid and unpaid) I use when starting up a campaign. I recommend signing up for every affiliate network out there (even the ones I don’t mention), as each network has different offers with different payouts. You can be doing sweet on a niche, sign up with another network, and find out that they have a higher converting offer that pays out more. None of the paid tools are necessary, but each of them has their own special use to me and that’s why I use them.
I also stay up-to-date on affiliate industry blogs using AffPosts.com, so check that out for recent news.

thank you for sharing
Looks like a all in one guide…thanks for sharing it… as i am new to IM so this information might help me…
I must say, as a lot as I enjoyed reading what you had to say, I couldnt help but lose interest after a while. Its as if you had a wonderful grasp to the subject matter, but you forgot to include your readers. Perhaps you should think about this from more than 1 angle. Or maybe you shouldnt generalise so much. Its better if you think about what others may have to say instead of just going for a gut reaction to the subject. Think about adjusting your very own thought process and giving others who may read this the benefit of the doubt.
Thank you for your post. It sounds so well. i like it very much.
information about so many tools and apps which are helpful for affiliate. But still lot of research has to be done to use all of them efficiently.
Thank uberaffiliate.com, for this guide and sharing.

We posted on http://yourmarketmaster.com/affiliate-marketing-uber-affiliate/. We think it is useful to our readers. You are really paying it forward – exactly what the internet should be about. We really liked the stuff on Plenty of Fish! That is a real find and worth a ton of research. I know the upgrade has some real value as well. Keep up the good work! Cheers

HOLY COW! What an incredible source of knowledge.
Any chance you’ll be updating this again? Google keyword tool is toast (you have to use the keyword planner now)
4houraffiliate is also gone. They are selling the domain. I bet that has some serious PR and authority.
Thanks again – Will be sending clients and affiliate here!!
