The Complete Guide to Affiliate Marketing on the Web: How to Use and Profit from Affiliate Marketing Programs
This book is a must have for anyone who seriously wants or is toying with the idea of Affiliate Marketing. Brown takes you through the entire process from getting started to choosing a software application right for you to how to market and promote your site. He explains the ins and outs of Affiliate Marketing on the Web in language anyone can understand, even if you’re not smarter than a fifth grader.
Do you know the difference between residual and flashflood traffic techniques? How about pay per click as opposed to pay per lead? I didn’t. However, after reading this book I certainly have been educated in the lingo associated with Affiliate Marketing. Brown also manages to take the guess work out of Google.
You don’t have to be a web designer to apply the techniques, but if you’re somewhat computer savvy it’s beneficial. Brown doesn’t present a get rich quick scheme, but instead delivers a sure fire way to get more traffic to your site and more money in your pocket. He doesn’t lead you down the garden path and his book will definitely help you travel the road to success.

This is my favorite affiliate management book, because it covers a lot of tips and new content for those of us who are managing/leading affiliate driven businesses. What I like best about this book is how comprehensive and specific it is, and the new content that I haven’t seen elsewhere in other affiliate marketing how-to resources.
This book gets my top marks for affiliate marketing how-to’s, it has dozens of tactics that go beyond the basics and serves a a superb blueprint for affiliate marketing “how to” strategies.
Well done, and thanks very much — this was a very useful (and now dog-eared!) book. I’ll actually use it during implementation, launch and followup of my sites’ affiliate networks.
Thanks,

This book begins with a quote from the Godfather: “In war there is no substitute for victory.” While that seems like an unusual opening to a marketing text, this book is very hard-hitting and aggressive, insisting that if you want to make this style of marketing work, you have to go for it – but that profiting from such marketing is attainable.
Beginning with basics and soon delving into technical nitty-gritties such as meta-tags, web site optimization and other technical nuances, necessary for such aggressive marketing campaigns as this book is touting.
Finishing out this guide with “Affiliate Mistakes” and case studies makes this book a great resource for anyone wanting to make a living from their laptop, or even those who already have a successful business and simply need a better marketing resource in a “Web 2.0” world.

Bruce Brown’s The Complete Guide to Affiliate Marketing on the Web is a crash course for those who want to learn how to successfully host an affiliate program on their Web sites or join an affiliate network. This book provides an in-depth look at all of the basics of affiliate marketing, including managing, promoting, and growing programs; helping affiliates who are technically challenged, managing cookies, developing multi-tier marketing, and writing a marketing plan. It’s clear the author has a firm grasp of where affiliate marketing is today and where it’s likely to be headed over the next few years.
I was worried that this subject would be too technical and, therefore, hard to learn. Fortunately, the author provides simple, step-by-step, easy-to-follow instructions for novices who are learning how to become affiliates. He also describes how to maximize search engine optimization, how to become a power affiliate, affiliate mistakes, and effective ways that to deal with click fraud and scumware (commission stealing applications).
The book is chock full of useful resources regarding website development techniques that will enhance affiliate marketing programs, the best software to use (and it’s often free), and ways to select the most reputable affiliate programs. Also, the last part of the book features case studies and interviews with several experts in the field–I learned a lot from reading what they had to say. Though the book is big (nearly 400 pages), I found reading The Complete Guide to Affiliate Marketing on the Web to be profitable and worthwhile, and I would highly encourage anyone who is interested in a good introduction to the subject to read this book.
