			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When I built this site I added features that I thought bloggers could use to connect with other bloggers.  Some are sort of hidden so I thought I would tell you about them&#8230;.</p>
<p>All of the features below are located in the <a href = "http://theblogboat.com/portal/index.php/forum" target="_blank">Forum</a>.  You will need to be registered to view them.</p>
<p><b><a href="http://theblogboat.com/portal/index.php/forum/design-implementation/" target="_blank">Design &#038; Implementation</a></b><br />
If you have ever built a blog there has come a point where you had a question about how to do something and couldn&#8217;t find the answer.  That is what this section is for, to allow you to ask questions and get answers.  I am not a coding genius but I can usually figure it out and if I can&#8217;t hopefully some other reader will be able to!</p>
<p><b><a href="http://theblogboat.com/portal/index.php/forum/hot-deals/" target="_blank">Hot Deals</a></b><br />
Every day we find great deals and are eager to share them with others.  Whenever you find one, post it here so that everyone else can see it and link to your deal! </p>
<p><b><a href="http://theblogboat.com/portal/index.php/forum/link-trading/" target="_blank">Link Trading</a></b><br />
One of the best ways to build your blog is to start trading links with other blogs.  Start a new topic here and start trading links with other bloggers!  </p>
<p><b><a href="http://theblogboat.com/portal/index.php/forum/linky-posting/" target="_blank">Linky Posting</a></b><br />
Adding your blog to a linky posting is a great way to get new readers and to build your inventory of back links.  Back links help improve your Google rankings and will improve your placement in Google searches.  If you are doing a Linky Posting or spot one, post it here!</p>
<p><b><a href="http://theblogboat.com/portal/index.php/forum/affiliate/" target="_blank">Affiliate Questions, Concerns, and Advertising</a></b><br />
If you have a question or concern about Affiliate/Pay Per Lead programs (including billing questions), post them here.  Normally other bloggers have already been through what you are dealing with and can help out.  This is also a great place to post your advertising questions!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://theblogboat.com/portal/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/cj2.jpg"><img src="http://theblogboat.com/portal/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/cj2.jpg" alt="Commission Junction" title="cj" width="154" height="90" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-95" /></a></p>
<p>Commission Junction is one of the best with the most companies available.  While they offer lots of opportunities they lack one main feature, customer service.  You can NEVER get hold of anyone and their contact system has been down over a year.  While they lack customer service they do pay and pay on time.  Also they seem (in my opinion) very fair in paying out and usually resolve issues quick.  You are better off contacting the account rep of the company you are having the issue with rather than CJ.</p>
<p>There are literally thousands of companies that you can get affiliate contracts with.   Some of the best ones are Buy.com, Best Buy.com, 6pm.com, Snapfish.com, Seehere.com, Restaurant.com, Old Navy.com (and the entire Gap group), Borders.com, Upromise, and ELF Cosmetics.com.</p>
<p>***TIP<br />
You can mass apply to a lot of companies at once by selecting the box above the list of companies in search mode.  Check that box and click APPLY.  I highly recommend using a Gmail for them as you will receive a TON of emails if you get lots of contracts.</p>
<p>GET LINKS<br />
To find links click the &#8220;Get Links&#8221; tab at the top, search the company you want and select the banner.  Most companies offer the &#8220;Build a Link&#8221; option where you can use the URL from the site to create a link.  To get to the &#8220;Build a Link&#8221; option click on the company name in search mode and look to the left.</p>
<p>REPORTS &amp; PAYMENT<br />
To see how your promotions are doing, click on the REPORTS link at the top, normally this will pull up transaction reports.  Click on &#8220;By Advertiser&#8221; or &#8220;By Event Date&#8221; to see the break down.  They close on the 10th of the month so all items in the Closed column should be paid.  Checks are normally cut by the 15th.  They also offer direct deposit.</p>
