You are online, working your advertising program and you come across a site which intrigues you: You sign up, bookmark the affiliate link to a folder and go back to you're main work. With the best of intentions you mean to get back to that new link, but you never really do. Why? Because the folder where you bookmarked that link is already full of possible websites to add to your workload. And let's face it, all those links in that folder look alike, they are intermingled with all sorts of other links, etc. You know the picture because you have folders like that!
I take a new affiliate link and place it into my rotator link and let it simmer for awhile. A Rotator Link Site advertises many websites with one link - the URL Rotator. By placing this one Rotator Link into an advertising program you can display many different websites one after another (in rotation), getting traffic to a lot of your websites with one effort.
I routinely monitor the different sites I have circulating at my Rotator Link Site, so I know I will get back to that new affiliate program. That program is rotating and getting some traffic, if it gets some response - sales or downline, I will definitely pay attention to this affiliate link. On the other hand, when I get back to this new URL with full concentration and discover that it was more hype then substance. I can delete and
forget it.
This is one reasons to use your Rotator Link Site as an online secretary.
Another reason to why your Rotator Link Site can be your online "filing cabinet" is the ability to KEEP TRACK of the many affiliate and personal websites that you have.
You are using a friend's computer and want to share a hot program. But you can't remember the URL for that particular site. You could do a search and find it, but you want to give out your affiliate link. No problem. Go to your Rotator Link Site, log in and go to your list of URL's. Choose the program link you want to share (and maybe a couple of others). And, voila, you friend is informed and impressed.
I use this same idea when I want to plug in one of my affiliate links into an ad or traffic program. Once again all of my best money making programs are at my fingertips. A quick trip to my Rotator Link Site, a copy and paste, and I'm ready for another task.
Use your URL Rotator Site as a repository of your most important affiliate and website URL's and for new links as you find them. And if you're not using a Rotator Link Site, check out the link in my resource box.

Having a site for the pet items: designer or food or necessities; is a good idea. However, setting it up is one thing, and maintaining plus marketing is another thing. Besides, searching and shopping online are two different aspects. Online buying involves more risks and hassles than browsing, in terms of security. Hence, having a site with a shopping cart wherein potential customers browse and purchase requires proper planning and setup.
A customer browses for "dog chain", selects one and purchases it. The process of purchase happens in the shopping cart (enter details of quantity, specifications like color etc.) and then the checkout process where personal details (name, address, credit card number etc.) is required. The invoice is generated and emailed to the customer.
Despite the best efforts, disruptions occur during the purchasing process. Big names like Elance, Amazon and Paypal have faced it. Websites can be temporarily offline due to maintenance and potential customers are lost.
Small sites need to be more careful, as they are yet to establish themselves and any negative happenings are bad for them. Shoppers are impatient, ignorant or ignore the facts that behind every online experience are online (systems) and offline (people) operations. Thus, if shopping process is disrupted, the order is incomplete which means no transactions and customer does not receive the order. The customer feels cheated, wronged and either makes a complaint to your site or the Bureau of Better Business or leaves negative reviews/feedbacks of your site.
Your site suffers a setback as the disruptions were due to the third party such as Paypal (shopping cart) was not functional due to technical problems. Besides, you missed the complaint for almost 24 hours as it was made on a holiday or your weekly off day, but the customer is not aware of it. Now, customer has not received any confirmation, invoice, or email acknowledgement, and has already charged back against his/her paypal account. The customer is at its wits ends, and complains to the Bureau.
No one would like to be in the above situation. Hence, it is imperative to be in control of your online and offline operations as follows:
Your site is 24/7 online, but you may not be for example, Monday to Saturday (10 AM to 6 PM EST).
Complete and correct details regarding your postal address (PO Box numbers are not acceptable), contact numbers including Live help and when they can contact to be given on site and printable material (coupons, catalog etc.)
Terms and conditions regarding the sale, complaints etc. should be mentioned. Have a "Frequently Asked Questions" (FAQ) section which gives information of shop, possible delays and what to do whenever they face problems along with the response time (like 1-2 business days). Provide compensation for delays and bonuses for special occasions like special coupons or freebies.
Have auto-responders to send common emails. Keep shoppers informed of gifts/freebies available, how to receive them and what to do if not receive.
Keep your site colorful, interesting and up to date always. Keep testing your site and rectify errors at once.
