Internet Affiliate Programs Based on Bartering

It has been said many times that some of the best things in life are free. The past four days have been a bit of a nightmare for this author. Her computer is set to receive automatic updates and two of the updates had a disagreement and I lost. The computer has been out of action now for four days and I have felt like a seriously deprived child. Am I addicted to the internet? Most likely.


One of my major internet addictions are affiliate programs. But after all the kerfuffle I have had to go through lately only to find precisely what I wanted and to find it was free, I find quite amazing and I'm very grateful. It seems that there are a bunch of internet programers out there in cyberspace who have grouped together to produce open source programs available to all who need them. The only thing they ask is either a donation or a link back to their site. Which I'm more than happy to do because it will be a very useful link for all my visitors and anyone who wants a gold standard product for a coupon price.

But more than that and as grateful as I am, it got me thinking. It's actually a very clever way of marketing. In the old days they may have called it bartering but everyone wins and providing the majority of people are honorable, it will work amazingly well. At least I hope so because I believe these people deserve it.
