RSS 2.0 gives you (the entertainer, artist, musician, vocalist) the ability to use your blog as your very own showcasing system. Posting video, audio and flash movies are as simple as point and click with PUSHlogs2

Basics: Bloggers Add Moving Images to Their Musings

Web logs - the personal online journals better known as blogs - use text to dissect nearly every conceivable topic, and now video blogs, or vlogs, which incorporate moving images, are on the rise. Mobile blogs, or moblogs, have brought blogging into the cellular age by allowing people to post video and photos taken with camera phones to a blog, or to call in an audio posting.

Investor's Business Daily: Breaking News

According to a recent study from the Pew Internet & American Life Research Study, blog readership grew by 58 percent in 2004. In addition, the study showed that 27 percent of all 120 million adult Internet users accessed a blog last year; 12 percent of those users posted comments and 7 percent created their own blog site.

Interestingly, the study said that only 38 percent of Internet users even know about blogs.

The Proof

This site has been deliberately not submitted to any search engines as a test (utilizing the automated feed PUSH system only) to see if it could maintain its page rank; (which was acheived only two weeks after it went live). It has done so since September 2004. Click the graphic below to verify that this isn’t just hype. The proof is in the pudding.

The Fine Print

We’ve tried to make the PUSHlogs Reseller system as flexible as possible for you. We have done some extensive research on the problems involving affiliate provisioning and implemented solutions that we feel will enhance your ability to maintain more affiliates.

Pricing Structure:

Reseller Pricing:
The Reseller pricing structure is broken down to the least common denominator. We have configured the Reseller pricing in this manner to allow your Affiliates to have as much control and flexibility as possible. We hope to prove that this structure will allow you to pull and retain a more diverse Affiliate team.

Reseller Pricing is broken down as such…
100mb blocks of disk space @ $0.50 per month
1gb blocks of bandwidth @ $1.80 per month
Monthly membership fee is $19.95
Domain Names are available @ $12.00 per 1yr. registration
Affiliate Pricing:
Setting up your pricing structure for your Affiliates has been made extremely easy. The entire PUSHlogs Affiliate System is built on top of a real time relational web database…

The above form is located in your Reseller Admin section; once filled out, your Affiliate’s custom configured packages are immediately reflected with the information listed here.

Your Affiliates will build their packages via the form, below…

As you can see, your pricing structure configured in your Reseller Admin section will be reflected in your Affiliate’s Admin section. (The above is an example only; numbers are not accurately portrayed).

Administration System:
Built into the PUSHlogs Affiliate System are Reseller and Affiliate administration sections where everything shown on your sales site is configured. Your sales site sits atop a real time relational web database.

Reseller Admin:
Your Reseller Admin section is the key to the entire Affiliate System. You will be able to manage your entire operation from this section. As you can see from the graphics above, PUSHlogs is push button easy.
Affiliate Admin:
Your Affiliates are equipped with an Admin section that is more or less identical to the Reseller Admin section; minus system sensitive modules.

Accounting System:
PUSHlogs is fully integrated with the PayPal™ subscription system. There is no coding needed on your part; as the accounting system has everything already built in. The only thing you’ll need to do is supply your own header graphic(s) and configure your PayPal™ Account to work with your PUSHlogs Affiliate System.

PayPal™ makes this easy with step by step configuration wizards and guides.

Server System:
We house your provisioned PUSHlogs on separate servers than your PUSHlogs Affiliate system. The Affiliate System is housed on individually hosted servers that you will have full access to through the Plesk Reloaded control panel system…

Here you will be able to configure your email address(es) and CRON jobs for the automated RSS feed PUSH function. You will also have full FTP access to the 20mb allocated to your Reseller server.

DNS Management System:
The DNS Management System is the backbone of your PUSHlogs Affiliate System. You will use this interface to house all of your client’s domains. You will also use this system to provision your Affiliates with their very own cloaked Affiliate URL

For example: your_affiliate.your_domain.tld ( joe.pushlogs.com )

This will give your Affiliates more confidence that you have their best interests at heart by protecting their Affiliate commissions. You will also have the ability to configure any sub-domain you choose (based on your main domain) and point it where every you want.

Further details about the PUSHlogs Affiliate System and step by step guides are provided in the private PUSHlogs Reseller blog.
