TTZ Media Opens Online Catalog for Affiliates

written by John Chow on October 17th, 2007

We’ve been working on this catalog for a while and it’s finally ready to go. If you go to the front page of TTZMedia.com you’ll noticed that it features a ton of products. There’s also a list of the most popular products and the most recent price drops. TTZ Media affiliates can send traffic to this catalog using their affiliate ID and make money from any resulting clicks to vendors.

The catalog features thousands of products with prices and links to the online stores selling them. When a reader clicks on a price link and visits the online store, you make money for sending the click. Right now, most of the products are technology related but we will be adding more categories later.

How To Link To The Catalog

There are two ways to link to the catalog. The first is a simple URL link which looks like this: http://www.ttzmedia.com/refer.php?referid=xxxx. The xxxx is your affiliate ID. You can find your ID in your affiliate control panel. You can cloak the id behind a redirect if you like. Many affiliates will link to the catalog in their blog navigation menu using a description like “Shop” or “Find Low Price.”

The second way to link to the catalog is to show the “Power by TTZ Media” link in your TTZ Media ads.


TTZ Media gives affiliates the option to display “Power By TTZ Media” or not display it. If you display the notice, it will be automatically link to the catalog with your affiliate ID. Any resulting vendor clicks from readers visiting the catalog will be credited to you. Enjoy the new catalog. Let me know what you think. Look for more features to be added soon.

Will there be a future option to park a domain to it with my own ‘name’ or ‘logo’ on the site?

3- People click on various products
4- You make money

Hmmm..

Haha! I wish, but I don’t know enough about electronics to write anything useful.

Hey John, I was so inspired by your story in mingpao several weeks ago; that was what got me started on my blog which I had abandoned for years! Hopefully I can keep on writing and make some money to pay for my uni tuition; a debt of well over $250K! :mad: :mad:

Sensible I suppose, I was thinking of a way of getting on the TTZ bandwagon

Good stuff John! I’m loving TTZ… especially the idea of a co-branded catalog option. Like someone else said, hopefully you roll this out before Christmas.

drt said on October 17th, 2007 at 7:46 pm

Well, I have to wait for another entry before I can add this catalog. The reason is, every time I edit my blog to correct some typo for example, I have to recopy the whole codes of TTZ ads, (or Auction Ads, or even Google video codes) since for whatever reason, when I edited it using the “code” editor, it wraped all the codes together. Someone said the reason of that was due to the fact that wordpress doesn’t like Javescript. Hm, I don’t think we can ask John to change his code. But where is the sample code you want to send me John? :lol:

John Chow said on October 17th, 2007 at 8:02 pm

I have no problems with the codes when using Wordpress with the HTML editor. The only time you will run into problem is with the visual editor.

drt said on October 17th, 2007 at 8:48 pm

That’s strange. In order to paste those codes, I have to switch to HTML editor. But once I published and wanted to re-edit it, the code just wrapped together so when I saved it again, for example, the TTZ ad without using the adsense plugin would disappear from the page. Somehow something is wrong with my wordpress then. For example, I had to edit my last post few times. The first time I reedit it the Google video disappeared. so did the Auction Ads. To do the trick, the second time I edit it, I just simply recopied the codes and paste them on top of the old codes. That’s how I did it, and it worked. But I still could not put your 250 x 250 ad as a floating ad. Haven’t had time to experiment with it further. Any one have a pointer on how to solve it? Thanks.

When posting ads containing Embed or Script code.. just disable the visual editor.. or just use the “code” tab, never use the wysiwyg tab..

Thanks, Kitak. Will try it when I add a new post. Basically I will just disable the wyswyg editor then use the code tab.

I’m still actively brainstorming of niche sites I can promote TTZ media ads on. Seems like a great program.

An affiliate program! :D

David Savage said on October 17th, 2007 at 9:41 pm

So far I’m pretty satisfied with TTZ. I’m only showing one ad on the homepage and it has made about $2 compared to adsense only making $1.75 and adsense is actually sitewide. I’ve just put the TTZ ads by the google ads, lets see how they perform against each other :evil:

Also, I love the click analyzer, now i can see what my visitors are most likely to click on and I can show more of those types of ads.

Great system John, can’t wait for the first payout!

Wait a moment, please. What is the click analyzer? Where to find it? Thanks.

I applied a while ago, received an email saying I would hear back in a couple of days, but still no word. Are we supposed to receive and official rejection or acceptance email?

Tony said on October 19th, 2007 at 3:12 am

I applied and got accepted, but I decided to use widgetbucks instead. I am not here to spread propaganda or anything, but widgetbucks is paying $0.60/click. I am unsure on whether widgetbucks will pay or not but that is the risk I have to take.

Sorry to post this here John.

I changed my password in my TTZ Media affiliates, and now I can’t log in, as the login panel won’t accept a password over a set amount of characters.

I have tried getting the password through the “Forgotten Password” form, but the e-mail never arrives (not in junk or any other filters).

Could you please help?

Also, just so that you know. Under IE6 some of the content appears halfway down the page, rather than at the top…

P.S. Reason I post here is because I can’t find a contact e-mail address on the TTZ site…
