Last week I posted 10 ways to make money from home (or anywhere) with your computer. Today, I want to dig a little deeper into item number 1 on that list - Affiliate Marketing.

Many websites today have affiliate programs. This means that if you sign up with their affiliate program, you can sell their products or services for them and they will pay you a commission.

The page may have been built on the fly at your hosting server using PHP and MySQL and then downloaded to the user's computer, but by the time the visitor sees the page, it's on their local computer. Javascript code in the page may be making the web page more dynamic as well, but the user's browser is handling the Javascript dynamics. Since the user is viewing your web page on their local computer, any updates that need to be made to the page requiring PHP and/or MySQL must happen at the server level. This means that something on the page, such as a button or a link, must send another request to the server for the updated information. This used to require a page refresh. The click of a link or a button would send the message to the server that another page was needed from the server. It might have been the same page with new, updated information, but as far as the server was concerned, it was a new page. In other words, once the page has been built and sent to the user's local computer, the only way to interact with the server is to send another request. This used to mean that the user's browser would send the request and receive a new response to show a new page. With advances in technology, advances in the languages that we now use for web development, and advances in our web browsers, it's now possible to update specific sections of a page without refreshing the entire page. This has allowed web developers to create web 'applications' instead of just web 'pages'. Web applications look and behave more like applications that you would run on your local computer. This new technology is called Ajax - Asynchronous Javascript and XML Continue reading →]]> http://cindycullen.com/updating-your-web-page-without-refreshing-the-page/2010/08/22/feed/ 2 http://cindycullen.com/is-someone-stealing-your-bandwidth/2010/08/03/ http://cindycullen.com/is-someone-stealing-your-bandwidth/2010/08/03/#comments Tue, 03 Aug 2010 17:18:15 +0000 Cindy http://cindycullen.com/?p=574 I've been noticing lately that a lot of strange, unrelated sites have been showing up in my web stats as links from an external page. Many of the URL's look like some of the same spam mail I get in my inbox. Upon visiting these strange sites, I found pictures that I had posted on my blog. I then realized that these folks were not copying and pasting my image, which is bad enough, but worse, they are just linking to the image in my blog. This is not only stealing, but it's using MY bandwidth. So, I had to remedy the problem and I thought you might be interested as well.
