			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Gas prices have dropped nearly a cent daily for the past 4 weeks according to a recent survey. Some states coming in at $3.00 per gallon, while California is still hovering the $4.00 mark. A major factor in gas prices are state tax. California and New York have tax rates of nearly $.50 per gallon which keep overall prices inflated.</p>
<p>Two other factors in gas prices are proximity of refineries and how much people can afford to pay.</p>
<p>Hopefully with gas prices lowering consumers will be more likely to purchase new vehicles! Leadpile has high demand for Auto Finance leads with high payouts. Contact your account rep or support@leadpile.net today for details.</p>

Service providers should only offer services which come under their gamut of offerings. Over committing or under committing might lead to detrimental effects in just about no time at all. Therefore, newer service providers should benchmark their services with the best in business in order to make an impression in mainstream business.<strong><br />
Leaning Possibilities While Generating Mortgage Leads</strong><br />

Some of the best learning&#8217;s that a service provider can capitalize upon include – most profitable channel for lead generation such as online/Mailer marketing/ Mass media marketing etc. they can also get to understand the pulse of customer in better manner. With the changing trends and lifestyles, mortgage service providers can get to understand what exactly is needed by customers.

Sites selling consumer’s data to irrelevant advertisers who in turn spam or misuse the data often fuel this fear.  <a href="http://www.clickz.com/3641083?utm_source=feedburner&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Feed%3A+clickz+%28ClickZ+News%29&amp;utm_content=Google+Reader">The TRUSTs seal</a> has become a well-known symbol of verification over the past decade.</p>
<p>Dealix, an auto lead generation site conducted a 90 day test using the seal and saw a 7 percent increase in conversions.  Placing the seal at the front end of your funnel helps ensure consumers their data is being protected, especially when a credit card or social security number is required.</p>
<p>TRUSTe requires sites that utilize the seal to have links to their privacy policy and seed TRUSTe to ensure the consumers data is not being mistreated.</p>
<p>It will be interesting to see if the TRUSTe seal is the next trend in the online lead generation space.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A recent study indicated that the use of at least three social media options in email marketing campaigns lead to a 55% higher click-through rate.  The interesting thing is that only about half of email marketers are adding some sort of social element to their email campaigns.</p>
<p>The real ROI comes in the shared messages of these type of campaigns. Messages that included a sharing option generated 30% higher click-throughs than emails without the social sharing links.  Three or more generated 55% higher click-throughs.  Twitter alone showed a 40% higher CTR than without a sharing link.  Twitter appears to be the most popular option at 67.2% of all social  emails with Facebook coming in a close second at 62.7%.</p>
<p>Think about it, you send an email to a million users in your email list.  If 55% of the users that click through your message and share it with their 130+ friends on Facebook or followers on Twitter, imagine how much ROI you are getting on that email campaign without any additional cost!  Folks, time to start A/B testing!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img alt="lead exchange Effective Performance Advertising:  Lead Generation " src="http://distractible.org/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/stop-making-excuses.jpg" class="aligncenter" width="400" height="300" title="Effective Performance Advertising:  Lead Generation " /><br />
In years past, online media was not an option.  Years ago you did radio, television, mail or things like billboard advertising.  However, in recent years performance advertising has been something most companies are venturing into to promote their product(s).  Lead generation is a performance type of advertising, however not all are embracing it because of various objections they have to it.  </p>
<p><strong>1. </strong> <strong>No money to do lead generation</strong><br />
<strong>2. </strong> <strong>Lead generation does not work</strong><br />
<strong>3.</strong>  <strong>They do not know how to set up CPL campaigns</strong><br />
<strong>4.</strong>  <strong>They do not have any creatives to do a lead generation campaign</strong><br />
<strong>5.</strong>  <strong>They don&#8217;t have any incentives to offer the consumer on a CPL campaign</strong><br />
<strong>6.</strong> <strong> They don&#8217;t really care about leads</strong><br />
<strong>7.</strong><strong> They don&#8217;t have the time to work on a lead generation campaign<br />
</strong></p>
<p>These are all commons excuses companies will make instead of moving forward with a lead generation campaign.  <a href="http://www.mediapost.com/publications/?fa=Articles.showArticle&#038;art_aid=106589">Mediapost.com</a> points out all these excuses companies have on why they are not getting into lead generation.<br />
These are all legitimate objections to lead generation, however companies like Leadpile are open arms to speak with anyone that has any questions or concerns about doing lead generation.  Where else can you get a targeted consumer that is opting in for a specific product or service?  Lead generation allows companies to focus less on generating clients and more on handling the targeted ones that they are working with in their lead generation campaigns.  As a company trying to generate business, would I want to send out a 1000 mailings or purchase leads of 50 people who opted in for my service?  Hands down lead generation produces a higher ROI if you are utilizing your lead generation campaign effectively.  Ask a lot of questions of the lead generation company you are potentially working with, so you know the process from A to Z.  Know how the leads are being generated, where they are being generated and what the cost to you is.  You will see, lead generation will be an effective way for you to spend your advertising dollars.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have to share some information that I obtained from the Affiliate Summit Vegas.  In a informative pamphlet given out by Davis &amp; Gilbert LLP, they point out some helpful tips that affiliates should pay attention to.</p>
<p>1.  <strong>Know your stats</strong>- make sure you receive sufficient feedback and reporting on your accounts.</p>
<p>2.  <strong>Know what is being done with your data</strong>- use data in a ethical legal way according to all privacy laws.</p>
<p>3.  <strong>Any new partnerships, always get the agreement in writing- </strong>anyone doing business for you or with you, make sure agreements are in writing for you to always refer back to.<strong><br />
</strong></p>
<p>4.  <strong>Have a game plan for 1 year, 5 years down the road- </strong>where do you want your company to be in the near future or even years down the road?  Have a plan.<strong><br />
</strong></p>
<p>5.  <strong>Know what you are agreeing to &#8211; </strong>if you are signing up with a new affiliate or starting a new offer, make sure you know all the ins and outs of what you just agreed to.<strong><br />
</strong></p>
<p>6.  <strong>Have insurance- </strong>corporations need to make sure they are adequately insured (ie- errors and omissions, liability and possibly some other applicable types of insurance)<strong>.<br />
</strong></p>
<p>7.  <strong>Know what your employees are doing with your systems and data- </strong>monitor what is happening in your business with your own employees and partners.<strong> </strong>The more involved you are in all aspects of your business, the more you will know what is going on.<strong> </strong>Proactive NOT reactive<strong>!<br />
</strong></p>
<p>8.  <strong>Corporate housekeeping-</strong>keep all that you are doing as a company organized.<strong><br />
</strong></p>
<p>9.  <strong>Monitor internal and external business practices regularly</strong></p>
<p>10. <strong>Have good ethics</strong>- those affiliates that do things &#8220;right&#8221; will have a long successful affiliate marketing partnerships.  Those that choose to try and &#8220;beat&#8221; the system will be short lived.</p>
<p><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2206/1871666698_e250380bdf.jpg?v=0" alt="affiliate marketing 10 Hot Tips For Affiliates " width="400" height="233" title="10 Hot Tips For Affiliates " /></p>

We would love to hear them.</p>
