Swagly.com - An Affiliate Network

Swagly is self-described as “a word of mouth affiliate network” that basically empowers its members to match and tag products in pictures to the products that make up the Sawgly database. The idea is to let each and every individual become something akin to an affiliate that receives an income, and turn the social network he is a part of into something resembling a retail store

where products are recommended to all and sundry.

This system is implemented along the following lines: the publisher procures and installs a widget, and then customers can proceed to tag anything they come across and like. From that point onwards, their friends and acquaintances will be capable of finding out more about these products, and if an actual sale is made then the publisher shares the revenue with the original user.

The one advantage a service like this one has as far as sellers are concerned is that it makes for content targeting that is unmatched in terms of conciseness. For its part, users are rewarded for what they like doing best (IE, social activity). These are strong enough features as to make this new service noteworthy to many. You can learn more about it and also sign up at the address which is featured below.

Swagly is a Word of Mouth Affiliate Network

(WOMAN) that provides a useful and fun tagging widget to social networks that enables their users to match and tag products in pictures with the product entries in Swagly's database. Swagly turns every individual into an affiliate and every social network into a recommendation retail store.”

Should Twitter Buy Oneforty?

We?ve heard an unconfirmed rumor that conversations are taking place between Twitter and Twitter-focused app marketplace oneforty. This is PURELY speculative and it?s unclear if talks are about a possible acquisition or a partnership. But if Twitter is thinking about going on a shopping spree, why would it consider oneforty?

OneForty recently launched its marketplace to fill a gap in the Twittosphere: an App Store for all things Twitter. The site lists over 1300 free and paid applications and services built on Twitter?s API, where people can search for, rate and buy Twitter services. The site also features lists of the most popular apps on the marketplace, and lists the ?best? app for nine types of Twitter services, such as apps for business, url shortners, image sharing, news, and travel. And the site hopes to be somewhat of a social network, with users having the ability to create profiles of their favorite Twitter apps and services.

It makes sense for Twitter to acquire oneforty for a couple of reasons. First, Twitter just raised a boatloadof money, so we all know that the microblogging network isn't too strapped for cash. When the news broke of Twitter's $100 million infusion, there was a ton of speculation about what the money would be used for and of course, acquisitions were at the top of the list. Twitter remained mum as to how the funds will be used but clearly, a portion of that ginormous amount of cash could be used towards acquiring Twitter-related applications like Bit.ly or oneforty.

And Twitter may not want to reinvent the wheel when it comes to developing their own app store. oneforty's site is compelling because it provides a service to Twitter users that isn't out there yet. And oneforty's social component of listing your favorite apps and sharing those apps with friends could be integrated into Twitter users' profiles.

And of course, a Twitter app store would also be a way to engage and help out the thousands of developers who are building applications and sites off of Twitter's API. While Twitter currently lists some applications and also has a wiki-based directory of Twitter-related sites and apps, but the directory's layout layout isn?t easy to navigate and has a cluttered interface.

Air America keeps WWRL as its New York affiliate

The progressive radio network Air America announced this morning it is sticking with WWRL (1600 AM) as itsNew York affiliate.

Under the contract extension, terms of which were not disclosed, WWRL will continue to carry three Air America programs: the Rachel Maddow show, 5-6 a.m., "Montel [Williams] Across America," 3-6 p.m., and "The Ron Reagan Show," 6-8 p.m.

Other Air America hosts can be heard over satellite radio or atwww.airamerica.com.

Air America, which has had trouble getting its programming on powerful stations in major markets, has devoted considerable resources to strengthening its Web site and promoting alternate delivery methods and platforms like podcasting and cell phones.

Progressive radio talk in general, while it has made some inroads the last few years, still lags well behind conservative talk radio in listenership.

WWRL, an independent black-owned station that has also struggled in the tough economy the last couple of years, has its own hosts the rest of the day, including Daily News columnistErrol Louis in the morning, Stephanie Miller at 11 a.m. and Ed Schultz, noon-3 p.m.

Bill Hess, senior vice president of programming at Air America, said the WWRL deal makes sense for both parties.

"Making sure our listeners in the New York area continue to have access to their favorite Air America programming was a key goal of our conversations with our friends at WWRL," said Hess. " 'The Ron Reagan Show's' growth in New York has been explosive, and the opportunities to continue the success of both Montel and Rachel make this a strong package for both the network and WWRL."

Best Affiliate Network

Q: I own my own Web site and I am about to begin an affiliate program. There are so many companies to weed through – can you tell me the best affiliate network for my affiliate program?
A: As far as the best affiliate network, I don’t mean to be all philosophical and useless to you, but it’s going to be the one that best serves your needs and comes within your budget.
I would suggest that you speak with all of the networks and get a demo to see which you prefer, based on the pricepoint, features, and the people behind it.
There are so many affiliate networks out there if you combine the traditional affiliate networks and the CPA networks… literally hundreds. Also, if you are considering software that lives on your server, that adds a bunch more options.
If you’re promoting a product or service based on leads, you might want to focus on the CPA networks, while retail affiliate programs typically go with the traditional affiliate networks.
In the end, it’s a very individual choice, so unfortunately I can’t give a recommendation blindly.

Our LocalSplash products increase Internet exposure for local businesses and engage customers at the time they are ready to buy.” Rodecker points out the importance of having an effective Internet presence: “Hardly anybody is picking up the yellow pages when they need a plumber and they aren’t writing down phone numbers when a radio commercial comes on for a computer repair man. Instead, they are simply typing in ‘Plumber’ or ‘Computer Repair’ into Google; and then they instantly have the best options to choose from.”
