Thieves are a problem out in the brick and mortar world is for business owners and thieves are a concern for cyber space business owners. Out in the brick and mortar world, thieves will take money and merchandise and it isn’t any different online. The real world merchants use locks and alarms to deter thieves. Internet business owners need to use anti-theft software to protect their commissions. Here are some things you can do to protect yourself and your commissions:
1. Use Meta Refresh: A meta refresh is a simple bit of HTML code which automatically redirects your visitor to another page (your affiliate URL). It provides a neat way of presenting affiliate links in newsletters. It probably helps reduce commission bypassing and commission hijacking. A big advantage of using meta refreshes is that if merchants change their affiliate links, you can change links on dozens of pages quickly and easily by altering only one file.
One problem is that some search engines don't like meta refreshes because they're frequently used for unsavory purposes. So if you use this technique, use it with caution.
2. Use a URL redirection service. You can use free services or buy a unique domain name for each affiliate program you join. URL redirection makes affiliate links less obvious, so this will reduce some commission thefts.
3. Use a web-based ad tracking service. The ad tracking link initially hides the affiliate link, reducing thefts.
4. Use an ad tracking script. Good ad tracking scripts hide the affiliate link as well as being useful for tracking. It has the advantage that it doesn't promote someone else's domain.
5. Use JavaScript redirect. Because this initially hides the affiliate link, it should reduce commission thefts.
Be aware that thievery is a problem for online businesses and take the necessary steps to protect your commissions.

Internet Marketing Gone Wild! Join Us And Tell Your Boss To Shove it!
The internet marketing craze is sweeping across the nation and the world like a wildfire out of control! People are getting fed up with their jobs or their lack of jobs and they are taking matters into their own hands. Internet marketing gone wild is the best way to describe what is happening. So why the insane interest in internet marketing?
Internet marketing is a great way to earn money because it allows you to work from home. Imagine getting up and commuting just a few steps to your office each day. Just think about the money you will save in gas and wear and tear on your vehicle. Not to mention the stress you’ll save from avoiding rush hour.
Freedom is a big reason why people are joining the internet marketing craze. You can work when you want for as long as you want. No more punching a time clock. If you find that you are more productive at 2:00 in the morning, do your work then. Working from home will also help solve childcare problems. You can save a whole lot of cash by not having to pay for someone to watch your children. The freedom and flexibility you get from working from home is a definite perk.
Of course, another reason people are jumping on the internet marketing bandwagon is money. When you are an internet marketer, you have total control over how much money you make. If you need more money, just do a bit more work. You can’t do this at a normal nine to five job. Sure you can work harder at your job and your boss may appreciate it, but it’s doubtful that he’s going to give you any more money for doing so. He’ll just consider himself fortunate to have an employee that is willing to worker harder for the same amount of pay! That‘s why working online is so great. The harder and smarter you work the more money you can make. Give yourself a raise whenever you feel like it!
But the biggest reason some many people are turning to internet marketing to make a living is because of tough financial times. With the economy doing so poorly people are losing their jobs. And the people who have jobs are being asked to do more with less because companies are demanding it. Stress levels are at an all time high and job satisfaction is dropping. So what do you do if you really hate your job?
The answer is simple, get on the internet marketing gone wild bandwagon and tell your boss to shove it. Become independent and work for yourself. You will be amazed at the money you can make and the freedom and security you’ll enjoy. And if you can’t find work, then you can stop looking and start making some cash!
So if you are tired of working for a nasty boss, tired of looking for work and finding none or if you are just tired of slaving away every day and not making a difference in your life, then it’s time to get in on the internet marketing craze. Give yourself the freedom and the respect you deserve by becoming your own boss and making your own living. Join the others who have realized that internet marketing gone wild is the way to go.

Do You Suck At Making Money?
Do you suck at making money?
I used to--until I discovered how to make money giving away products for nothing.
Check it out here:
http://www.urlfreeze.com/feiyie/L-a1c2/
Best part: it works--even in today's economy. It was discovered by my favorite cartoon, "Zoobie the Internet Marketing Newbie".
But don't laugh. Because he'll show you how to forget about selling products and just give them away for FREE!
Don't worry, you'll STILL get paid! Because this simple 3-step system shows you how to earn even MORE money than if you actually sold the product.
The bad news is this: Zoobie is only letting 2000 copies out the door. And when they're gone, they're GONE for good!
So get your 100% FREE copy here:
http://www.urlfreeze.com/feiyie/L-a1c2/
The economy really stinks right now. Newbies like Zoobie are finding it harder and harder to make money online. This strategy works no matter how bad the economy is because you're giving away FREE stuff. Let Zoobie show you how here:

The Pizza Plan
Do you have a road map for getting what you want from your business?
Most people don't. Heck, my plan, if you can call it that, when I was first started online was to jump from one affiliate program to another, hoping to find the key to unlock the fabulous riches I kept being promised.
Well, that didn't work, in fact, it got so bad, I was going to pack it all in and return to the drudgery of a job - even though I detest working for other people.
It doesn't have to be that way.
During an online conference, Jon Olson, revealed, to a select group of owners and surfers, who all paid for the privilege of hearing Jon speak, the actual budget and business plan he used to go from just another struggling marketer to the being the owner of a traffic exchange empire.
I hung on to every word as he talked about...
* The Only Three Tools You Need For Success
* How to Create Profit Circles
* And How Do It For Less Money Than The Average Person Spends on Junk Food
I wanted to share what he said right there and then with you...
But, Jon made us take an oath not to reveal the plan lest, in all our frantic scribbling, we left out something vital ...
Finally, after much begging and pleading, Jon relented and agreed to make his astonishing business plan available to anybody you wants it.

Some Reasons Most People Decide to Start an Online Business

• It takes very little money to start
Unlike a business in the “real world” , an online business does not need a lot of start up money. All you need as an idea, a domain name, internet access and hosting…all of which can be had for under $100!
• You choose when you work
Who says you must work from 9 to 5 everyday? People who are NOT Internet Business owners! The Internet Business is the biggest proof why the statement “working from 9 to 5” is no longer true. With an Internet Business, you don’t have to wake up in the wee hours of the morning so that you can get to work by 9am, anymore. You can start work at anytime since you are your own boss!
• Work from the comfort of your own home
Where you put your computer is where you will be working! And since you’re going to be working from home, you’ll be saving at least two hours of your time each day by not having to travel to and from your work place during rush hours when everybody else is going to work or heading for home. That means you’ll be saving at least 730 hours a year! Wouldn’t you shudder at the thought of wasting 730 hours a year doing nothing productive?
• With the internet, the whole world is your market!
By sitting in front of the computer, everyone in the world is now within your three feet. You leverage on free or low-cost software and hardware and the Internet Infrastructure, all of which when combined will give you leveraging power that far exceeds any conventional business, allowing you to achieve more and more with less and less work!
• You can fully automate your online business
If properly set up, some Internet Business models can be fully automated.
• No need to work 8 hours a days every single day
Once you can automate your Internet Business in some way, you can use the time you saved to start another Internet Business, improve your existing business, or spend anyhow you like. You just spend the time online checking your mail religiously, promoting and expanding your business – all in front of your computer. And there is absolutely no need to spend even more than four hours online.
• Spend more time with family and friends
Owning an Internet Business gives you the privilege to have more time to spend with your family, or watch your children grow up. This is what most busy parents crave for. If you are one of them, then you will do well to seriously consider starting an Internet Business.
• Your online business can be all about your hobbies and passions
Now, this is my favorite reason for anybody wanting to start an Internet Business! The Internet Business allows your passion and dream to come to life, which is also the most important component of businesses of any kind.
• Online businesses have very little expenses
Believe it or not, some Internet Businesses can be set up and running at zero cost, if not very low. Other Internet Businesses can run with monthly operational expenses so low that they are negligible!
So, you can rest assured you won’t find me recommending products or services that cost thousands of dollars, the amount of money which you may as well throw into the stock market if you’ve got such a huge appetite for risk!
• You can have more that one!
Since the cost of setting up and running an Internet Business is so low, and you can automate their operations, you can operate multiple Internet Businesses as a one-person Internet Business owner.
You don’t need to hire employees since your Internet Business system is doing most of the job, if not all. It works 24/7 for you. It won’t call in sick. It won’t give any excuses. And it definitely won’t blame you if it ever had worldly problems!
Given all the wonderful reasons for starting your own Internet Business, I am sure that by now you have already made up your mind whether starting an Internet Business is for you.
