When you see a product promoted on any blog or website, they are more than likely running a campaign through one of the thousands of affiliate programs on the internet. Most of these are simply anonymous referral-link setups that leave you completely on your own, but in steps AffiliateBidding.com to shake things up.

I have seen some promising websites, and I have seen some destined for failure. Affiliate Bidding is one of those websites that has a very sound business plan, but is so new on the map that they have yet to pierce the competitive surface. Essentially what AffiliateBidding.com is offering is a platform for both publishers and advertisers to reach out directly to clients and secure referral/advertising deals directly. The advantage? No longer dealing with those messy affiliate links, you know the “http://www.site.com/ref?=2939″ that people hate.

Does the system work? I think that the system would definitely work, but there is just so little interest at this point that there isn’t much to see. The good news is that registration is completely free, so why not register and check out what offers are there for you to capitalize on!?

Let’s take an example. The latest offer in the ad marketplace reads:

“I’m offering merchants and affiliate programs to advertise on my new blog. The audience are mainly women. This may be a good opportunity to advertise your products and services. Any reasonable offers considered.”

Now, this could be a great opportunity for the smaller bloggers, as it only offers one dollar. But guess what the date on it is? April 17th, that’s about half a month ago… clearly there is a problem and people are not using the service enough.

The verdict? This is a great idea for a business partnership network. I personally would love the opportunity to connect with people that advertise on my page, and those that I advertise for, on a whole new level. Unfortunately, this website seems to be “on hold” and the entire system really hasn’t been touched in some time.

Everything is automatic, and the way it is organized is self explanatory… however, I am not going to recommend that you use them basically because of this supreme lack of interest on the owner’s end.
