Frustrated, confused, exhausted but surely not ready to give up, I decided to sleep on it.. surely enough I did, and I awoke this morning with what I think is the answer..</p>
<p>Did I get a real life &#8220;Social Signal&#8221;?? Maybe!</p>
<p>So now I will try to implement my sleep powered solution, with all eyes on me..</p>
<p>I&#8217;m really excited about this project. Though off to a rough start, all that ends well is well.</p>
<p>This will end well.</p>

So now</p>
<ul>
<li>What are the &#8220;Social Signals&#8221; that the big G is looking for?</li>
<li>How can we position our websites properly to effectively trigger the social signals that Google is listening out for.</li>
</ul>
<p>Over the next few weeks I will be updating this post with some tests that we have done to see what really works and what doesn&#8217;t. I will also be writing about some best-practices that I have picked up from following and researching what others are doing successfully.</p>
<p>This is going to be fun and very educational, and above all, a traffic generating, search engine ranking and therefore a sale generating project.</p>
<p>Feel free to post questions or comments I will try to respond to each post quickly.</p>
<p>Let the party begin.</p>

<p>There are the BIG hogs in the industly like <a href="http://cj.com">CJ</a> and <a href="http://linkshare.com">LS</a>, but they are kinda getting old, and losing steam&#8230;.</p>
<p>there is a NEW approach many people have been finding success with <a href="http://go.hasoffers.com/SHB8">HasOffers</a>. Its easy to get involved, the pricing is really resonable.</p>
<p>Above all I find that companies starting down the Affiliate marketing trek are having more success with <a href="http://go.hasoffers.com/SHB8">HasOffers</a>.</p>
<p>They have some pretty big companies using them too&#8230;</p>
<p>Check it out and let me know what you think. I would love to get your feedback.</p>

<p>On the other hand, if you do your research and implement it properly, you are going to be one happy camper.</p>
<p>If you try to host Magento on a regular hosting account at hostgater or godaddy, or any of the budget hosting companies, you are going to be really disappointed.</p>
<p>Magento is an enterprise level solution, yes even their community version is.. and it uses more resources for a very good reason, its doing a heck of a lot more.</p>
<p>I am very excited about the magento buyout by Ebay (the owners of paypal) its really exciting, I am looking forward to x.commerce.</p>
