Still firmly on the up

It`s Friday again and the summer is very nearly over. Thankfully though, Gibraltar is still sunny and hot - so hot infact that even with September just around the corner, we don`t yet feel the need to don our long-sleeved tops and closed-toe shoes (and probably won`t for quite some time yet). But to celebrate the start of the month, Bone Fish Ltd has again set new bonus targets for all those that have signed up to the 100% Commission Scheme. Those that are not on the scheme but want the chance to earn 100% commission over and above their bonus targets, can get in touch with us by emailing: affiliates@bone-fish.com. It`s simple to set up and even simpler to make some extra dosh. But remember, those that are joining in the race to earn more only have a mere three days to psych themselves up, ready for another smashing month.

And it will be a smashing month. You only have to look at the fact that this month`s new sales are up by 45% on last month`s to see why - not to mention that both the lesbian and the black networks are still going very strong indeed. Because, letting you into another little secret, this week we once again witnessed another rise in sales for both of these networks, leading us to believe that everything is still firmly on the up.

That`s about it really. As a final thought you`ll be pleased to know that we`re now very, very, very nearly there with the new members` area too. With funky new features, tantalising templates, an adventurous advert builder and much, much more, our members (or should I say, "your" members) are going to be absolutely delighted with our new creation.

However, we never just take our own word for it. So, to ensure that we`ve got everything spot on and that affiliates are 100% happy with the way it`s all going to work, we`re calling upon you to try out the new service and really put it to a gruelling test.

As such, if you fancy spending some of your spare time beta testing the new members` area, then drop us a line at mike.fitzgerald@bone-fish.com. Because at Bone Fish your opinion is always very welcome - whether it be constructive criticism or perfect praise.

Until next week....

Kind regards,

The Bone Fish Affiliate Team


PS. Remember, you can find out what your bonus target is by logging in to the admin centre and entering the "Commission" section.


Our Top Ten Favourite PPC Search Engines

Welcome to the fifth week of our ten part series that looks into the finest Pay Per Click Search Engines. And this week, in fifth place we have... Searchfeed - a search engine that boasts a strong return on investment time and time again.

Searchfeed (http://www.searchfeed.com/)
Searchfeed is one of the few engines that can boast a great ROI - and actually mean it - and a search volume that is much more than just "reasonable". What`s more, with its comprehensive geo-targeting potential, the advertiser can actually focus on about 11 specific countries worldwide and aim for much higher results than with some of the other engines.

Interestingly, Searchfeed also has some fascinating and very specialised tools which allow the advertiser to create campaigns from scratch or easily upload existing campaigns using a "Bulk Keyword Uploader". What`s more, for adding smaller sets of keywords, easy to follow online forms are available to assist with the process. As is to be expected with a search engine of this caliber, advertisers can also change all or multiple bids simultaneously using the "Change Bids Tool" and it goes without saying, that reports appear in real-time providing immediate feedback on a campaign`s status.

An initial $25 is needed to get a campaign going, and keyword bids start at $0.01 with no minimum monthly balance or spending requirements. With Searchfeed, advertisers can have an unlimited number of keywords and listings, which are normally processed within two working days. Not bad, don`t you think?

And, to ensure that a campaign is always active, Searchfeed offers an auto payment feature which automatically withdraws funds from a credit card on file whenever the funds run too low. This feature can be easily activated or deactivated at any time throughout the campaign, and can be very useful for those that don`t always have the time to keep their eye on the ball.

Features and Tools:
Bulk Keyword Uploader
Bid Researcher
ROI Calculator
Free Campaign Cost Estimates
Searchfeed Reports in Real-time
Auto Payment Feature

The Bottom Line: Most definitely worth a shot but keep a watch over your account funds - especially if you have the auto payment feature activated and don`t particularly like surprises.

Next week...
Next Friday we`ll be introducing you to a site that has taken the white label concept to a whole new level - a site that`s available as a defined brand in English, Spanish and Portuguese, and which functions with an integral Bone Fish backbone.

... because remember: Bone Fish may provide the backbone, but the brand is always your own!
