Your Webhosting Review
O.K., I’m going to pull a Kevin Trudeau here…”What the Hosting Review sites don’t want you to know.”
First, if you type in “web hosting review” in a Google search engine you’re going to get page after page of unlimited reseller hosting reviewing web hosts….why?
When you visit these sites you’re going to notice that the same five, ten, fifteen, twenty web hosting companies keep coming up over and over and over again….why?
Is it because fundamental essentials best hosts in the world and they’re so good thousands of people have to build webpages out of the graciousness of their hearts to tell you how good these companies are?…maybe.
Or maybe we all subscribed to an affiliate or publisher account at a very well known affiliate marketing community, one of the world’s largest affiliate unlmited reseller hosting
. And maybe after looking at all the products to sell and the commissions they’re offering (5% commission on a $25 handbag….7% on other material goods) we came across the webhosting companies offering anywhere from $80-$100 for each hosting sale made on shared hosting plans, $100-$110 on reseller hosting plans and $150-$200 on each dedicated server plan we sell.
Well heck, sign me up for that!
Before you hate us too badly bear in mind there is alot of work to be done on our part from web design to SEO strategies, from link building to article marketing. Either lots of work has to be done or a lot of money has to be spent before we begin seeing sales. Unless you’ve got a web page already bringing in massive amounts of traffic. So don’t hate us to badly.
Do these web hosting review pages really sign up for these usa web hosting and legitimately review them? Well, in my best guestimation I would say some do, many don’t. My guess is many set up an RSS feed to sites like webhostingtalk or similar sites that already have hosting reviews on them. If certain sites do there own review, I’m sure they go through there own link to collect the commission with hosts where you can do that to reduce research costs.
So yea, it’s about the Benjamin’s. This can be a companies way of saving on advertising by having affiliates market there product. It doesn’t cost anything extra for the customer, the webhost makes a sale the affiliate gets the commission, the customer gets the disk space and bandwidth he/she needs, everybody’s happy.
And if you’re still hating affiliates for cloaking our links and making it look like we’re trying to do you some great service when all we really want are commissions, sleep well tonight knowing that alot of affiliates get “shafted”. When people disable there cookies, or delete cookies on there computer regularly, they’re erasing the tracking code used by the affiliate network to track sales. Which means the customer still gets the great web hosting deal, the company makes the sale and keeps all the revenue and the affiliate is….well….out of luck!
