Anyone who says affiliate marketing is easy is out of their mind. Years ago it was easier to sell consumers as an affiliate marketer, today things are much different. Google constantly changing the algorithm of the search and not I see Google has shortened the urls to keep people who keyword stuff urls from gaining a better ranking. There are a lot of new changes at Google, too many to name in this short post. Google it seems has hurt Google Adsense websites by killing their site rank in favor of PPC customers. Google gets to keep 100% of the PPC income Vs. splitting the Adsense commissions, all in the sake of profits. I am beginning to think Google needs to be split up by the government because it has too much power and unfairly uses that power against its users. Personally I m not a fan of the way Google operates and I am not alone.
