Bits and Pieces of InformationAffiliates, what are they? | Affiliates are sites which agree to display banners or text links to other sites which are selling a product or offering a service. In exchange the host site is compensated by payments per click on the link, or a percentage of sales made as a result of a customer reaching them through that link. This agreement can be made on an individual basis or through a service such as Commission Junction at cj.com which will collect the commission from each merchant and pay the host site. |
Domain name, why pay, I can get one free? | "http://www.greatbiglittledeal/freepage~page54/andsoforth" if anybody can remember that they have a better memory than me. Secondly it takes weeks or months to get listed on some search engines, if you move to another host you will have to submit again, any listings you have will be useless.
There are companies that will register a "http:yourname.com" domain name for you for free providing that you host your site with them, however if you decide to leave them for any reason you will have to pay them if you want to keep the domain name, usually at a high price. |

WYSIWYG, what does this mean? | This stands for "what you see is what you get" web sites are written in HTML code which to the novice looks like mumbo-jumbo. There are web page applications now that instead of showing the source code, show only the copy as with a word processor, the HTML is inserted in the background. |
