Welcome to Heimdall Net's

Affiliate page

  Affiliate marketing is a method by which vendors can increase web traffic to their site in a highly business efficient way, paying only commissions upon sale.  Typically, when a vendor places their commerce website with an affiliate manager; the manager then broadcasts the product descriptions, commission rates etc to their list of webmasters and those webmasters can elect to promote those products on their pages using "affiliate links".

 

  An affiliate link is a hyperlink which contains a referrer code in addition to the target website and product which identifies the referrer to the management software.  The simple version works like this:

  On this site you will see products promoted.  When you click on a link to read more about or order that product, the system recognises that you were referred by this site.  When you make a purchase, a commission is paid by the vendor to this site via the management company. 

  One thing that all good affiliate programs have in common is the fact that customers are buying at the best possible prices from affiliate links.

  It works because under traditional advertising, a vendor has to pay for their advertising up front; this equates after taxes and costs to a dollar amount that each revenue dollar costs.  E.g. - if you spend thirty dollars on an advert and it generates $200 worth of revenue, your revenue "costs" you 15 cents per dollar (15%).  Given that affiliate promotion is completely

 performance based, a vendor in this example might decide that a 15% commission for their product line is no more costly than traditional promotion and their exposure will be vastly greater by having a huge number of websites promoting their products.

  Typically, a referrer bonus is also paid.  This is where you might decide from this page that affiliate marketing is something you want to do; you then click a link below to join up with a few affiliate management companies.  A small percentage of your commission is passed onto this site as a reward for finding a successful marketing partner.

  Again, nothing comes out of anyone's pocket.  Whether you approach the corporation directly or go through this site (strongly recommended of course!), your commissions are the same and the prices for your customers are the same.

There is nowhere on this site for you to give me money!  If you find my information useful and feel motivated to purchase a recommended product, please use the links on the pages as the vendors offer a small commission for referrals and this is how I can afford to spend the time building this site.  The products will always be the same price whether you use these links or "Google" to the vendors directly - please support this site and use the links provided.
Who or What is Heimdall:

Reproduced here from the Encyclopedia Mythica™ is a summary by Micha F. Lindemans

I chose Heimdall as the identity of this site as it is my desire to see the advice herein protecting all from harm on the net as much as is possible.

The idea of a naming my site after a protector encompasses this desire.

 

Heimdall © Encyclopedia Mythica™ (Norse)

Heimdall is the god of light, the son of nine mothers (variously given as the daughters of Geirrendour the Giant or of Aegir). He was born at the end of the world and raised by the force of the earth, seawater and the blood of a boar. Because of his shining, golden teeth he is also called Gullintani ("gold tooth"). His hall is Himinbjorg, The Cliffs of Heaven, and his horse is Gulltop. Heimdall carries the horn Gjallar.

He is the watchman of the gods and guards Bifrost, the only entrance to Asgard, the realm of the gods. It is Heimdall's duty to prevent the giants from forcing their way into Asgard. He requires less sleep than a bird and can see a hundred miles around him, by night as well as by day. His hearing is so accurate that no sound escapes him: he can even hear the grass grow or the wool on a sheep's back. At the final conflict of Ragnarok he will kill his age-old enemy, the evil god Loki, but will die himself from his wounds.

As the god Rig ("ruler"), Heimdall created the three races of mankind: the serfs, the peasants, and the warriors. It is interesting to note why Heimdall fathered them, and not Odin as might be expected. Furthermore, Heimdall is in many attributes identical with Tyr.
