Google's recent changes in its search-ranking algorithms, called the Panda Update, are designed to improve search quality by removing "content farms" as well as aggregation and spam sites.

ClickBank reports that they have more than 100,000 affiliates, but truth be told, these are only the active ones. The number of INACTIVE affiliates is much, much higher. And do you know the main reason why these affiliates fail? For many, it's because they think that affiliate marketing simply involves putting their link on a traffic site or in a free ad. The reality is that if you just use an affiliate link, you are very limited in your ability to get traffic from the major sources.
