Huffington Post Called On By President Obama During First Presser

The Huffington Post has grown quite popular in the recent past. Admittedly, it did begin with a large budget and many contributors. But I remember when Ariana Huffington was running for Governor of California in the Democratic primaries against Arnold Schwarzenegger and approximately 14 other candidates. I don't remember exactly when, but she started the Huffington Post shortly after the election. I was surprised to hear President Obama call on one of the contributors to Huffington Post during his first presidential press conference.

You may not care about the Huffington Post, but the Internet is now in a new era. This is an era where even the government of the United States is publicly acknowledging Internet entities. We all have the power to create one of these entities (if not more than one), not only for the purpose of having our voice heard online, but also to create income. Remember this if you feel discouraged by the current economic times. These things will get better by each of us being creative about earning money.

Koalas Suffering From Australian Heat Wave

I'm sure you've heard about the horrible fires that are happening in Australia. One of the things that's not helping firefighters to get control is the awful heat that Australia is experiencing. They are in a heat wave now that has koala bears seeking out humans for water. The pictures are heartbreaking. Though we like to see them, koalas are not known as the most sociable creatures. They don't usually come around looking for people. They are best viewed if they are just sitting in a tree unbothered. While researching this story, I came across the information that link below is said to be the best group that is working to save the koalas. Check them out if you are interested in Green stuff. This isn't a solicitation of funds for them. At the very least you should know what's happening over in Australia. I have sold articles to different people from the area, if some of you folks happen to come across my blog, please send me a message and let me know how things are going.

Salamander Populations Dwindling
Most common salamanders in cloud forest have nearly disappeared.

The decline of amphibian populations worldwide has been documented primarily in frogs, but salamander populations also appear to have plummeted, according to a new study by University of California, Berkeley, biologists.

By comparing tropical salamander populations in Central America today with results of surveys conducted between 1969 and 1978, UC Berkeley researchers have found that populations of many of the commonest salamanders have steeply declined.

On the flanks of the Tajumulco volcano on the west coast of Guatemala, for example, two of the three commonest species...

Obama Pledges Help To Homeless Woman in Florida Townhall Meeting
Florida is having a horrible time with the economy. This poor woman is living in her car or truck, there are different accounts. She is certainly living a pretty hard life right now. The update on the story is that she was offered residence at the home of the wife of a state representative of Florida. I hope Ms. Hughes can get some employment and get on her feet.

Sample Article - What is Affiliate Marketing?

What is Affiliate Marketing?

Whether you have a product or service to sell or you want to make money by selling other people's products, affiliate marketing is a great way to accomplish your goals.

A product's owner will use affiliates to sell the product, usually over the Internet. The affiliate earns a commission for every sale that is made from the affiliates website or email link. Some people make a very comfortable living just by selling other people's products over the web. They create many different websites with content that is updated constantly. Some of the ads on their webpages are affiliate marketing, where the site owner gets paid everytime the link is clicked, or the product is purchased.

Some affilates will also create a mini webpage that is completely devoted to one product. This standard but extremely uncreative technique just has one long page that is essenctually a sales letter. At the end of the page is a link to purchase the item.

The details of how much money one can make through affiliate marketing is as varied as there are products available. Each program is going to be a little different. This is why you want to make sure that you know when, how much and how often you will get paid from the program that you are thinking of joining.

Let's look at a few ways that an affiliate can make money:

If the program is set up as a Pay Per Sale program, the affiliate earns a commission for every sale of the product that was caused by the affiliate.

Pay Per Click programs pay the affiliate everytime a link is clicked on the affiliates website or email. This can be very lucrative if you are creative with embedding the link into informational content.

An affiliate can also earn money by joining Pay Per Lead programs. The common way of doing this is to have customers register their contact information with the merchant. The affiliate gets paid a certain amount per registration.

A well-rounded strategy to make money through affiliate marketing will make use of all three of these techniques on their website, newsletter or email broadcasts. The more readers you get, the better chance that some will click on the advertising contained in the site, thereby making money for you.

Merchants love affiliate marketing because they have another marketing avenue that is effortless for them. They also don't have to pay for the marketing until the click, sale or lead. Marketing is very expensive, so not having to pay, until after the desired activity is extremely benefitial. Affiliate marketing is also cheaper than other marketing methods, both in money and time.

There are large affiliate programs that will match affiliates and merchants. If you have a website that gets a large number of visitors, these programs will supply you with banner ads and text links, to put on your site, from many large well known companies.

Many small business owners also have affiliate programs running from their websites. These are usually specialized products which are great for a more specialized website.
