In this week’s Podcast Episode, I will directly answer some questions from audience members and we will also touch on a new pricing model change for Long Tail Pro.

Items Mentioned on the Show

Audio / Podcasting Equipment

Ellen asked about what equipment that I use to record audio and for the Podcast.  The microphone that I utilize is the [easyazon_link asin=”B004QJOZS4″ locale=”US” new_window=”default” nofollow=”default” tag=”1063939-20″ add_to_cart=”default” cloaking=”default” localization=”default” popups=”default”]Audio-Technica ATR2100 Microphone[/easyazon_link] and I attach this inexpensive [easyazon_link asin=”B00ACFAULC” locale=”US” new_window=”default” nofollow=”default” tag=”1063939-20″ add_to_cart=”default” cloaking=”default” localization=”default” popups=”default”]Wind Screen Pop Filter[/easyazon_link] to the microphone stand that comes with the mic.

This setup is one that has been recommended by many of the big hitters in the Podcasting industry and I have to say it has exceeded all my expectations.  Highly recommended.

Amazon Affiliate Links

Erika and Rashad asked about using Amazon links through the EasyAzon plugin.  Erika asked if the standard 24 hour cookie applies to links created through EasyAzon and the answer is definitely, yes.

Anytime someone clicks on one of your Amazon affiliate links, you would be credited for any purchases that person makes in the next 24 hours, even if they are not the item they originally clicked on.

Rashad asked if someone clicks on one of your Amazon affiliate links created through EasyAzon, if they then add some items to their cart afterwards, would you get commissions on those products for a full 90 days?  The answer there is yes as well.

When you utilize the add-to-cart feature built into EasyAzon, or even if someone clicks your regular links and then adds items to their cart afterwards, either way, you would get commission for any items placed into their cart and purchased for a full 90 days.

EasyAzon allows you to quickly and easily insert Amazon links or call to action buttons, such as the add-to-cart button, in addition to providing you with the ability to get additional income from folks that come to your site from other countries.

Through their link-localization feature, your links would automatically point to products in their country specific Amazon site, where applicable.  In that way, you would also get commissions from those sales, where normally you’d be limited to sales from those folks that are coming from your native country only.

You can grab EasyAzon for the discounted price of $29 through my link and that includes their ultimate Amazon affiliate guide updated for 2015, as well as two premium Amazon style WordPress themes as bonuses.

Domain Forwarding and Masking

This was an interesting question that I received via email from a subscriber, Allen.  He asked if I had any experience utilizing domain forwarding and masking, which allows you to forward a domain name to a different URL, while masking the new destination.

I have forwarded domains from one URL to another when switching domain names, but domain forwarding and masking is a little different.  In this case he was thinking about forwarding a domain name directly to a ClickBank sales page for a particular product.

All indications are that it is not against their terms of service, however, you would not want to do this for Amazon affiliate links.  This would definitely be against their terms of service and it could get your...
