Characteristics of Web 2.0

Web 2.0 isn’t any one set of software programs or popular websites. Web 2.0 is actually a term coined by software experts to describe the next generation of software and web interfaces based online. As more and more users end up online, the web has changed to reflect the needs and wants of more people. The old generation of web applications reflected the types of people that were generally online, generally people who were already good with computers. In Web 2.0, the emphasis is more about being social and more user friendly. There are actually several hallmarks that indicate Web 2.0 applications. Here are a few characteristics that are part of the Web 2.0 movement:

DIY Design

For those readers with limited experience in website creation, here’s a recap:

1. Design the page or buy a design from somebody else. This is relatively simple to do. If you are good with computers and design, you can probably do this yourself in your favorite software or using your favorite online editing program. If not, you can buy design, and sometimes have designs for free, by downloading them from online. This would be the absolute easiest way for a beginner to get online. Just go to your favorite search engine and type “Web template” or “free website template” or something similar. Then you can find companies who sell good designs.

Navigation

If a user can’t get around a site easily, that user has absolutely no reason to stay. Poor navigation will reduce the number of visitors pretty severely and frustrate the users who do stay. Navigation is the system that the visitor uses to get from one place to the next on a website. Some examples of navigation structures are in-text links, left or right column navigation, top navigation, tabbed navigation, and even Flash navigation.

Too Much (or Too Little) Design

Almost everyone has seen a website that was packed with too many images and information. The page has so many colorful images laid out that the visitor must scroll down for what seems like days in order to get to the bottom of the page. All of this information seems to be displayed without any organization whatsoever. Other sites don’t any design at all.

WEB 2.0

Wide-scale use of the Internet is a fairly new phenomenon in today’s society, but already the technology has grown by leaps and bounds. Today’s Internet is quite different from the one surfed just fifteen short years ago. Today there’s much more content, customization, and use of broadband connections. What seemed nearly impossible fifteen years ago is now being realized because of emerging technology that allows people all over  the world to stream videos, view pictures, customize their homepages, and see only the news stories they want.

Affiliate Marketing

Imagine for a second that Mandy has a moderately successful online business. Her business is doing okay, but she wishes she could bring in more business and more sales. Mandy would like to expand, get bigger office space, and perhaps even some additional storage space for her shipping needs, but unfortunately, she doesn’t have the cash coming in to pay for these extras. Her online advertising and marketing programs have gone well, and they are bringing in more customers, but she want to take her business to the next level.

Affiliate Marketing Strategies

Getting Started

Everyone’s an expert at something, and an area that one has some knowledge about is a good place to start when deciding to join an affiliate marketing program. Potential affiliates should start with something they at least partially understand, or something with which they have some expertise. Starting “close to home” has several advantages. First affiliates have the incentive to work harder on their money-making pursuits, because they’re working with topics that interest them. Second, their own experiences can really add a lot of depth to web content. Third, as they continue working on their marketing plans, they’ll have to do more research and learning. Learning about something they love will keep them motivated and focused.

How Do Affiliates Get Paid?

Each affiliate program deals with payments and statistics differently. Paying attention to statistics helps affiliates determine what they are being paid and how well their website is selling products. These statistics should be available through the merchant or affiliate marketing program. In general, affiliates will be receiving a payment for the work they do based on those statistics, and the way in which they get paid—that is, what actions or sales get them a commission—determines the amount of their payment.
