What Are Surf For Credit Programs?
There is no doubt that you get what you pay for, and that if you have a marketing budget, you could be better advised to spend your time in other areas.
Having said that, SFC are a great way to gain web traffic for your business.
I did a study of some of the big Internet Marketing companies a while ago, and they all included SFC as part of their strategy.
Here is a link to a more detailed review of SFC.

How Will a Rotator Help My Internet Marketing?
Well, it is a program that feeds a different ad or web site whenever the url is clicked.
This can be useful when you have a multitude of programs to promote. Say for example you have bought 1000 click thru's from one of the vendors of such things, and you have 10 programs that you want to promote.
With a rotator, you will ensure that each of the 10 programs receives around 100 hits each.
You can read more about internet marketing rotators here.
Be warned that you should not overdo rotators, because your marketing clout will be stretched too thin. In other words, there will not be enough of your resources to go around.

No Cost and Low Cost Internet Marketing
But in business, what if you have little or no capital to start with. Where does that leave you?
In the 'real' world, it would kill you stone dead in all probability. With no capital to fund your marketing, it would make life very difficult for you.

Supporting Your Members
Internet Marketing can be a tough business.
You can work away for months and slowly build a business, build downlines, build relationships, only to see your business crumble over time because of user attrition, people leaving your program and joining another. All through no fault of your own.
Or is it?
Have you really been doing all that you can to keep your members keen and motivated?
I discovered that if I proactively sought out my members and offered them assistance in any form that was necessary, they stuck with me. This is especially important to people who are new to the industry.
In fact I developed a web site devoted to doing just that. And the results were impressive.
- Attrition slowed and started moving the other way.
- I started developing income in other programs too.
It really was win, win for me.
I strongly suggest that you consider a similar approach.

How Critical is Ad Tracking to Your Internet Marketing Business?
Ad tracking is absolutely essential to your survival in, not only Internet Marketing, but in any online business. It has its equivalents in the offline world. I am sure that anyone sending out a mass mailing, will test the results that come back to ensure that they get good value for money.
- Maybe change the advert that they are sending.
- Maybe change the packaging.
- Maybe change the delivery method.
Test, test and test again.
Take a look at the following tutorial. It is used for Internet Marketing, and discusses a specific tool, but the lessons could be used for anyone.

Conferences for Internet Marketing
Sometimes though, getting hold of the right information can be difficult. This is especially the case when you are new to the world in which you find yourself. It is almost like information overload; there is so much to see and read that it is difficult to know where to start.
Let's look at this from the other side of the fence as well.
Let's say that you are a content provider, and you want to get the word out. How do you go about doing it? Well, you can deliver
- Ebooks - tried and tested
- An ecourse - a very popular way of getting your content noticed
- Articles - much like this. Write about what you know and syndicate the information.
- more....
All are familiar territory, but also involve a lot of work. And to some minds, they are inefficient.
Well, there is another way too.
How about a Conference. Seating up to 100 people, where you can not only give your information, but also gain valuable feedback from your attendees as they listen to your presentation.
If you are serious about your business, you really should be looking at setting up conference facilities. It's not as expensive as it once was either.
