I just love my web sites and my job.

Today I received a small gift in the post, a cheque of $104.65 arrived from ClickBank.

$100 is not money anymore but let me explain why I am so excited about this particular cheque;

I have two Clickbank accounts. The one I opened when I started with affiliate marketing way back in 2000 or 2001.

When I launched my eBook 2 years ago I created a new Clickbank account and stopped using the old one.

But of course on all my web sites were clickbank links which used the old account. I tried to change as much of those old links as I could found.

Obviously I did not change all of those links because somewhere on the world wide web people are still buying products after they clicked on one of my old links.

This cheque was the 5th one I received since I stopped using the old account and I really thought  that by now all the old links would have vanished.

So I earned another $100 without knowing where it comes from. I know it must be some old links I posted somewhere but have no clue where those links are.

This shows you that building your own web site containing affiliate links and Google ads is a long term investment. It is not a quick buck way of making money. Every page and every article you add to your web site can be earning you an income for many years to come.
