Affiliate Marketing On The Internet
Affiliate Marketing is a performance based sales technique used by companies to expand their reach into the internet at low costs. This commission based program allows affiliate marketers to place ads on their websites or other advertising efforts such as email distribution in exchange for payment of a small commission when a sale results.

I assume this is context based. Is Atlas providing that option?

Re: New CareerOne launched

Hi Michael,

No, I have had absolutely nothing to do with CareerOne. They've been around in various incarnations for many years.

I still stick by my comments regarding not needing another generalist job board. Jobspeed appears to be focussed on IT jobs only (still not sure what additional value they're adding though).

Its also interesting to see innovative sites like Hoojano and 2Vouch launch.

Re: LinkedIn has critical mass in Australia; job boards fans

Hello Seth, nice piece. Seems that LinkedIn seems to be destined to be one key element of what I call a multi-platform talent sourcing plan. This is what smart recruiters do: they look everywhere. That shows in the mycareer ad you alluded to and that's what seek did as far back as april last year http://tinyurl.com/6mxhal

Still, the network is still largely unexploited as far as recruitment goes. The main reason for that is the very nature of the service/product: LinkedIn is not a resume database, it is a professional network - and that's not just semantics. For that reason, as many people will attest, engaging potential candidates on the system is hard yakka because you cannot use the gunshot approach to trawling people with classifieds.

The thing, the effort is worth it. You find people you don't normally tap into via job boards, you have a better platform to push your employer brand, etc.

So far so good, let's see what happens after the ipo if it happens. Let's see also how recruiters get to use the system to fully utilise exploit it without mucking it up.

@carruthk indeed. I think a few other instances recently of such co-opetition (http://en.wikipedia.org/wik... are the recently announced deals between Drive.com.au and CarsGuide.com.au (http://www.nathanhuppatz.co... and Ebay.com.au (http://www2.ebay.com/aw/au/....

You've raised an interesting issue about competition and how the competitive landscape is changing now. Sounds like we're seeing cooperation/competition become tactical plays depending on the situation. In the past, really the only option seen as viable was competition.

P.S. Heck my site does as much traffic as MyHome.com.au...why won't someone sink $20 million into it? Help!?

Unless you have something remarkably innovative or can do things much better than an existing established website, it's like beating a dead horse...
