Some Questions From The Magazine…

Today I fielded some great questions a student had about the magazine - mostly some terms they wanted defined. I realized later on that the beginner affiliates may not be familiar with some of these terms. So here they are!
=========================
Backlinks = Websites linking to your website. This can be checked by going to Google and typing in, link:www.yourdomain.com or going
to yahoo and typing in linkdomain:www.yourdomain.com
Ping = An Internet utility used to check the connection with another site.
Permalinks = Permalink is short for “permanent link”. It is a link that readers can use to bookmark the current blog post.
Data feeds = A file that a merchant provides you that has all their product, pricing, reviews, etc… all in one file. You can then integrate that file
into a program/template and it builds you an entire website with all their products in it.
Upsells and Cross sells = When you sell someone something, an upsell is to sell them something more expensive later. A cross sell is similar, it usually has you selling them something else in conjunction with what they are buying.
Podcasts = Basically a web radio show. You record a file, mp3 and then make it available for others to download and listen.
Organic = When talking about search engines, you will find either organic or “paid” - organic are the results that show up in the middle.
Those are search engine rankings and are not PAID placements.
Hope this helps!
