Allan Gardyne first appeared on the Internet in 1998. Mr. Gardyne has a number of very successful Internet sites including "payperclicksearchengines.com" and "lifetimecommissions.com". Mr. Gardyne, an Australian internet marketer, is also the owner of "associateprograms.com" which he started in 1998. The website has thousands of affiliate programs, which is probably the largest index in the world

  Allan Gardyne claims that he has made an outstanding living simply promoting a variety of affiliate programs. Along with his website Allan Gardyne offers people a free e-book before selling them any of his products.

  It is obvious to state that Allan Gardyne is big into affiliate programs as a means to financial security on the web.

  The only problem I have with affiliate programs is that most of them are a lot more competitive and harder to make money with than you would think.

  Affiliate programs require a lot of work, but my impression is that Allan Gardyne leads you to believe that affiliate program marketing requires far less work than is the case.
Maybe, it has been easy for him, but you shouldn't expect that to hold true if you go this route on the web.

  Despite the wealth of resources on his website Allan Gardyne offers very simple advice in his materials. His e-book would only be useful to people that are completely new to internet affiliate programs. He also has the tendency to explain how to start out in the biz but not how to actually make money.

  If you are a newcomer on the web, his information may be something you want to review, but I would recommend a more structured approach to your business development. Many of the techniques he suggests will work, and work well, but should be incorporated into your marketing plan only after laying out an initial foundation.

  Also his advice is more common sense than marketing "secrets". His tips seem to be more focused on showing a lot of different ways to get started rather than being specific and going right for the techniques.

  It's obvious that you can't point people in the direction of many untested methods and expect them to succeed.
 

  The truth about making money with affiliate programs is not the programs themselves but the vehicle that is used to promote them. So even though Allan Gardyne has a giant list of affiliate programs it doesn’t help people that don’t have an effective way of promoting them.
