Myths on Affiliate Marketing

Affiliate marketing involves partnership between an online retailer that who wants to promote their products or services and a website owner on commission basis. Affiliate marketing has become more popular and is a big business too. With this, many people are showing interest on affiliate marketing. There are some myths on affiliate marketing, they are as follows:
  • Affiliate marketing is too easy or too difficult: Some people say that the affiliate marketing is easy and some people say that it is very difficult. Anyone can get involved in affiliate marketing, there is no special qualification for this as it contains the word marketing so need a marketing degree. In fact it is depends on the capability of the person those who perform the tasks. It is all matter of the website performance, potential visitors, brand recognition of the company and the customers trust on advertiser and the website. Attracting of customers to website is depends on the content and make the visit to sale is depends on the attractiveness of ad.
  • Money can earn quickly and easily: There are so many affiliate marketers those are earning some good amount of money through the affiliate marketing. So there is definitely some scope to make money through this industry. But before they start earnings, they put a lot of effort to get success. If you are the starter, you need to do a lot of hard work to make a reputable website or blog. As well there is a great competition in the industry from many other websites.
  • One affiliate program is enough: Some people expect that one affiliate program is enough for their site. But it won't give the choice to the customer to select the best option to them. If there are some good reasonable number of affiliate programs and have a good choice to the customers, the percentage of conversion into sales will increase. It will beneficial to both advertiser and the website owner.
  • No earnings with affiliate marketing: Another myth is that there is no money with affiliate marketing. It is really wrong. In the last year top top merchants paid millions of dollars. Spending on digital marketing and affiliate marketing is increasing year over year by different industries.

Tips on Getting Prospects to Download Dealership Mobile App

Mobile applications can help auto dealerships sell more cars, earn new business and spread their brands. But to promote these programs dealerships need to commit. A mobile application should not be a tough sale for an experienced car sales person. In the app market, dealership app are some of the most practical apps. With a good quality app, potential customers can search or browse the inventory, schedule the appointments with the dealer and contact the dealership directly with the app. These are all possible with a unified platform in the mobile application. To find the right vehicle more and more car buyers are using multiple devices. According to autotrader.com, the car shoppers usage of multiple devices will double to more than 50% by 2018. So it seems like a wise decision by the dealerships to jump on the mobile technology.
  • Making as great: An unreliable mobile app does not succeed in the market because smartphone users depend on those that are convenient. The first step in promotion of an app is making an app worth promoting. Consider the major complaints that the smartphone users have with the apps. According to Apigee,  an analytics firm, 76% of mobile phone users give an app that freezes a bad review.
Users also complain about that apps load slowly and sometimes crashed. Do not release the app until it is properly tested across different platforms and devices. You may have an urgency to release the mobile app, but remember that a faulty app will damage your dealership's reputation in moving forward with mobile. To boost your application's appeal, offer some incentives. Include features such as upgrades, gifts or auto warranties (like those are available through carchex.com) as a part of your mobile app. Not only interested consumers are more likely to download, they are also likely to purchase.
  • Sell your mobile app: The dealership sales personnel spend their time persuading people to make significant investments in the vehicles. When compared with a twenty five thousand dollars sedan, a less expensive mobile app is an easy sell. When the sales people talking to potential customers, they can easily promote the app. Prospects will appreciate the convenience of a mobile app even if they do not close the deal. And those people will think about the dealership when they are using their phones.
  • Online advertising: Advertise on the digital platforms if you decide your dealership mobile app to reach digital users. PPI (Pay Per Install) advertising is one of the efficient ways to advertise your dealership app. When a user installs your mobile app, you need to pay only for advertising. Target advertising is the key for a successful PPI campaign. It seeks the impressions from users those who are interested in the product. Mobile advertising can direct users to a landing page, which enables them to download the mobile app on the spot.
If you want to reach a broad user base, develop your mobile app for both Android and iOS users. If you leave either out, you will lose an important pool of potential users. Android beat iOS to one million mark. However, in the mobile market apple remains a major player. If you want to partner with an app developer, ensure that those are capable of developing your program across at least these two major platforms.

All About Green Vehicles

Green vehicles are the ones that are less dependent on fossil fuels or similar alternate fuels like diesel and gasoline for their power requirements. They derive their energy for operation partly or fully from alternate non conventional energy sources such as solar, electrical and regenerative braking systems. These vehicles also produce less emissions leading to eco-friendly technology and lesser health issues and reduce the global warming by controlling the emission of green house gases as per the guidelines of the Kyoto Protocol. It can save our fossil fuels that are on the verge of extinction consolidating the concept of sustainability development.

Eco friendly and energy efficient
Green vehicles in some countries is a term that is used to refer to the vehicles that follow the extremely strict European and Californian standards. These vehicles requires little or no fossil fuels and depend to a considerable extent on alternate fuels. Consequently, these vehicles emit less pollutants in the atmosphere giving them a green designation. In this way, their usage minimizes the health issues that are arising due to pollutants.

It also helps in curbing global warming caused due to heat retention properties of the emitted gases. These gases are called green house gases. The dependance on alternate sources not only gives cleaner atmospheres but also cuts down their cost because the non-conventional sources are practically come at no cost and we need to invest in technology in order to harness them.

Types of green vehicles


1. Fuel cell cars: These cars are powered by the hydrogen fuel cells. The fuel cells produce electrical energy through complex chemical reactions. The efficiency of the systems is very less though it is cheap. Studies are on to increase the efficiency of the fuel cells and in the present scenario, they are not very popular green cars.
 
2. Electric cars: Electric cars are ones operated on batteries. The batteries need to charged through grid connected outline. Solar panel support can be given to them to improve their charge storing capabilities while they are on the move. Battery costs and their weight issues are the key issues.

3. Hybrid vehicles : They are automotives that can derive their energy either through conventional IC engines by using fossil fuels or alternatively they can be powered by solar energy or batteries. They are expensive but they prove economic in the long run.

4. Compressed air or stirling vehicles : These are a class of vehicles that uses compresses air or liquid nitrogen to generate the propelling force.

The benefits
The basic benefit of green vehicles is their eco-friendly nature. They create minimal pollution as compared to their IC engine counterparts. This reduces the health issues. They emit less green houses gases also. Due to their little or dependance on fossil fuels, they are economic and cheap over long periods of time though the initial investment in harness the sources is quite high. They produce less noise due to the motor driven parts rather than engines. 

Drawbacks
The technology to harness the non conventional sources of energy is not yet developed to its optimum levels. So the vehicles have less time operational capability. The batteries get discharges over short durations of time and hence they require frequent charging. It is difficult to get them charged while on the move unless they are provided with solar panels or regenerative braking systems but they too do not account for the greater energy needs. Due to frequent charging, the battery life goes down and the cost associated with the batteries is very high.

The consequences and implications 
The technologies used in this approach are in transition. Today's technology is better than that of of the past. Research is on to make vehicles  more efficient to converse energy resources.

Correcting Your Misaligned Jaw

The misalignment of jaw is mainly due to abnormalities in the temporomandibular join.

Reasons for misalignment of jaw
  • Mismatch of teeth on upper and lower jaw
  • Muscle spasm
  • Disorder of synovial joints
  • Injuries during accidents
  • Bruxism of teeth
What are the problems with jaw misalignment?
  • Pain around the jaw
  • Difficulty in eating or chewing
  • Difficulty to open mouth completely
  • Headache
  • Clicking sound during movement of jaw
  • Hearing problems
How jaw disfunction is diagnosed?
Diagnosis can be done by the symptoms of the patient and by examining the movement of jaw and biting. Some tests are available to diagnose misalignment of jaw. These tests include:
  • Blood tests - It gives the inflammatory signs on the jaw
  • MRI scanning - To examine the joint
  • Arthroscopy - It uses a fiber optic device to examine the joint
  • Nerve blockage - By giving anesthesia near the jaw. If the pain is relieved then you can say that the disfunction of jaw takes place.
What is the treatment?
The treatment for misaligned jaw depends on the severity of abnormality. If the misalignment is due to stretching during yawning, it can be relieved by taking soft foods, by avoiding chewing gums and taking over the counter medicines. If it is due to bruxism, you can go for following techniques.
  • Wearing mouth guards - It helps to prevent the upper and lower jaw come closer. This is suitable if the jaw is disfunctioning due to bruxism. Splints are also used. Splints are similar to mouth guards.
  • Occlusal equilibrium  - It is a fitted device to the jaw which helps to close the jaw completely.
  • Braces �It is used to straighten the teeth and fitted to both the jaws closely.
If the misalignment of jaw cannot be corrected by the above treatments. It can be treated by surgery. The surgery starts by giving anesthesia, and incision is made on the jaw to expose the jaw bone. Then manipulations are made and positioned to appropriate place and sutures are made. These sutures can be dissolved or can be removed in later days.

Complications after surgery:
  • Swelling of face for one week
  • Uncontrolled movement of lower lip
  • Injury of nerves
