Other Ways…
There are many more ways you can promote DealDotCom and make money. Some other examples are…
i. Write articles and submit them to directories with your link in the resource box
ii. Set up a PPC campaign
iii. Place classified ads
iv. Pay someone through https://www.reviewme.com/ or http://payperpost.com/ to write about DealDotCom and use your affiliate link in their post (yes they will do that).
Important: Last But NOT Least - Affiliate Tracking
DealDotCom understands the power of analytics and so should you. We have recently enabled you with the power of campaign tracking from both the direct link way to now also including the rss feed.
Creating a campaign is incredibly easy and this is all you have to do.
1. Think of a campaign name. So for example, say I paid a high profile blogger to write a post about DealDotCom on their blog and lets say that bloggers name is George. Well you simply add the name “george” to the end of your link like so..
http://www.dealdotcom.com/invite/1000/george
(replace the 1000 with your affiliate id)
or
http://www.dealdotcom.com/rss/1000/george
(replace the 1000 with your affiliate id)

…and you are all set. The system will automagically add the campaign in your account area and start tracking every single sign up and purchase made from that link. Once you have started to use the campaign tracking you will be able to see it in your account area.
If you click the “show me my campaigns” you will see how many sign ups and how many orders in total for the individual campaigns.
Well that is about it. We will link directly to this post from the “Your Account” page and will update this page as we change and update things.
Affiliate Enabled RSS Feed - Can You Say SWEEEEET!!!
September 28, 2007We have now taken this to ludicrous speed (Spaceballs fan’s will appreciate that)!
No more fooling around… we have now enabled…
Affiliate Enabled RSS Feeds
What does that mean for you?
As you may or may not know, we have a “Product Specific” rss feed that is located at…
http://www.dealdotcom/rss
…well, this is all nice and good however it really did not provide any benefit to our faithful and really cool affiliates. So now all you have to do is add your affiliate ID to the end of the URL like so….
http://www.dealdotcom/rss/Enter-ID-Here
…so if your affiliate ID was 1000, then the link would look like…
http://www.dealdotcom/rss/1000
…and like magic, your affiliate link is inserted into the rss feed.
But Wait… that is not all… I have even more good news. I just saved a bunch of money on my car insurance by switching to Geico.
Man, I do not think this day can get any better!
- Update - I lied.. this day can get better!
One of our code monkeys (we call him Mr. Chips.. but please do not ask why because he gets upset) has been working over time and he has now enabled affiliate tracking supreme. You can now also add affiliate campaign tracking to your RSS feed.
I am so excited about this (oh wait it might be the 8 Red Bull’s I had… hmm… nope.. I am excited).
PS - I made our code monkey mad.. now he told me I have to call him Mr. “Super” Chips ![]()
