Here’s a cool piece of software from Neil Shearing for building back links to your web site.  It’s great at finding blogs you are interested in that do NOT use the “nofollow” attribute and leaving comments.  At first I thought this was something of a spammer’s tool, but it actually makes blogging more efficient, while helping to market your web site.

Get your own copy of this blog commenting software by clicking here!  The best part is … right now it’s free.

If you do any affiliate marketing or have your own product to market, check out the new outfit in town.  Click2Sell is a direct Clickbank competitor with a number of benefits. (Frankly it looks like they tried to eliminate many of the frustrating problems with Clickbank, and learned from CB’s mistakes.)

First:  There’s NO setup fee!  Joining as a merchant or affiliate is free!  Simply go to Click2Sell and sign up.  You can handle product sales and affiliate marketing from the same account.

Second:  You control how refunds are handled!  You set the time frame, not someone else.

Third:  All types of merchandise can be sold!  This includes hard goods, downloadables and subscriptions.

Fourth:  Flexible payment options including direct credit card payments, support for Paypal, Authorize.net, Google Checkout and WorldPay. 

Fifth:  Funds are transfered to your merchant account almost instantly via Paypal, Authorize.Net, Google Checkout and Worldpay.  (No more waiting for weeks for funds to transfer.)

Sixth:  Merchants and affiliates can communicate with each other.  Merchants have more control over their programs and policies.  Affiliate and merchant reputation are tracked.

Seventh:  They can handle digital delivery in a secure environment.  (They even offer a default landing page and the ability to capture customer information.)

Eighth:  Their reporting module tracks sales, affiliates, products, refunds, payments and more.

Their system seems easier to use than Clickbank’s and offers a lot more features.  Check it out for yourself at Click2Sell.com.
