Ease of Installation & Setup: The installations of Affiliate Jackpots products are easy enough. Most are accessible if the user is familiar with reading PDF documents. You can download Adobe Reader from the website and there is even a helpful section on how to read and use PDFs. Otherwise, the audio recordings (video recordings coming soon, they claim) are also easy to download and use. Using a modern, quality browser such as Mozilla Firefox means that the audio files will open in the browser, making the process that much easier.

Features: Affiliate Jackpot is more than a handy e-book and its unorganized members area includes access to some very well done Teleclinic Seminars and bonus e-course information that competes with the top e-book affiliate programs out there. Where it falls short is its untidy organization and its not so up-to-date material. Much of Affiliate Jackpots material was written and recorded in between 2003 and 2005. The e-book has had some amendments and the entire program looks like it might be undergoing a revamping as Google Cash 3rd Edition becomes available. So, check the Affiliate Jackpot website for updates, but it is fair to judge what will come from the company according to what they have already released thus far.

One main product offered by Affiliate Jackpot is its Google Cash e-book. This e-book has been updated and amended according to current changes, so we have to give them kudos for keeping their program somewhat up to date. The e-book actually does a decent job of explaining different programs where an online newbie can learn about how to become successful in the game. And, while the e-book does provide some screenshots of Overture (Yahoos Search Engine Tool), none appear later in the book when things get tougher (like signing up and using Clickbank, which is discussed in excellent video in the Affiliate Project program).

When attempting to follow Affiliate Jackpots written instructions on how to sign up for Clickbank, we were successful, but having a video presentation is definitely more appealing. Furthermore, Affiliate Jackpot explains in detail how you can make money through e-bay. This is probably still valid, but just not a sought-after method in the present time. The best section of their e-book describes how to insert an affiliate link into Google Adwords so that you do not even have to have a webpage to make profits. The extra bonus mini e-book regarding the Google Slap is very current and a friendly reminder about what you need to do in order that your webpage is relevant and of high quality.

The other resource sections of Affiliate Jackpot are of notable quality. The Teleclinic is an audio recording from 2003 and comes with a helpful PDF transcript. Most of the seminar is helpful and surprisingly only about 10% of it is out of date or no longer current in market. So, there is still a lot to learn from these industry experts being interviewed.

Ease of Use: The website and members area is not well organized, but is straightforward enough. The resource area (found by clicking on a link at the bottom of the current users page) is a bit more organized. However, accessing the Teleclinic Seminars and other parts of the website is easy if you simply click on the big, blue links. Things are a bit too scattered, but the sites upgrade looks promising. The only part of the program that does not work on both a PC and a Mac is the Complete Guide to Self-Publishing E-books e-manual. It saves in an .exe format for some reason.

Content Quality: Chris Carpetener, the author of Google Cash, has a straightforward writing style that can be understood by most audiences. We can not wait for the video lessons that will soon be released with the total revamping of Affiliate Jackpot. If they coincide with the e-manuals, then this program will be worth the $67 investment. The sneak preview of the 3rd edition e-book looks great and even more in-depth. It is nice to see that a website is willing to keep itself updated. Content quality on the entire site is well done, but at times, it is difficult to find out where certain materials are located. Some are on a resource page, while others are on a download page. It would be better to help newbie users out a little more. Overall, however, the content is well written and much better than something like the Rich Jerk, which sums everything up to a user simply being stupid if they do not understand.

The Good: Affiliate Jackpot has a lot going for it. As stated, the sites updated sections are promising. The e-book and Teleclinic seminars are a bit outdated, but still offer a user valuable advice. There are a lot of helpful bonus resources too, which definitely helps cushion the user experience where the main Google Cash e-book lacks.

The Bad: This site needs to be more organized and offer video presentations. It is in the process of getting everything uploaded and ready for its transition into the present day with the release of its 3rd edition, but we ca not emphasize this enough. Additionally, Affiliate programs such as Affilorama offer advice on the other side of the marketing coin, organic traffic. If they could also offer a quality, well-written e-manual about how to use white-hat methods to drive organic traffic to a site, then this site might someday compete with the big boys who might charge a monthly fee, but who offer the most thorough material online.

The Bottom Line: Overall, Affiliate Jackpot has promise. It might have started out when informative e-book products about Google were selling like hotcakes. Now, users are searching for something quality, visually stimulating, and really an online course that teaches them from the ground upward. Affiliate Jackpot is doing the necessary work and adding changes to their website over time, which is great. They need to make sure that they continually do so and that they always try to keep user experience their number one goal. While the site and materials are somewhat out of date for 2007, look to them over the next few months to provide videos, updated and upgraded resources, and to provide a nice collection of web tools that will aid the user in this ever-growing, ever-changing market.

Review Summary	Wealthy Affiliates offer a wonderfully organized member's forum full of valuable affiliate information. Users can customize their own program and have access to amazing tutorials and e-courses. The downside is a waiting list for a couple of their courses, but overall, a superb program	Affiliate Jackpot has put together a well-grounded program that offers a lot of extra bonuses and resources for those new to online affiliate marketing. The site is being re-vamped and upgraded because the 3rd edition of their e-book will soon be available. The team at Affiliate Jackpot attempt to offer an honest user experience. What they lack in organization and video, they make up for in their upgrades and Teleclinic Seminars. The product is a little pricy, but fair enough for those searching for the middle ground.	Affiliate Project X does a lot to sell their program that users could model to make some sales. Using their own product as an official "case study," you will be able to see how and why they were able to get you to purchase their product. Overall, the member's area isn't organized and their products aren't always Mac friendly. Affiliate Project X doesn't come with as near as many extras or useful tools as other affiliate marketing sites.	The Rich Jerk e-book is organized and a good overview of what the online market place is all about. It doesn't compare to other quality programs that we have reviewed in any way, however. As a helpful guide to understanding, it excels. As a series of lessons that will truly teach a newbie about how they too can get rich, it fails. Overall, some userful resources. Its teaching of black hat SEO methods might get people penalized one day.

Affiliate Jackpot has put together a well-grounded program that offers a lot of extra bonuses and resources for those new to online affiliate marketing. The site is being re-vamped and upgraded because the 3rd edition of their e-book will soon be available. The team at Affiliate Jackpot attempt to offer an honest user experience. What they lack in organization and video, they make up for in their upgrades and Teleclinic Seminars. The product is a little pricy, but fair enough for those searching for the middle ground.

[DESCRIPTION FROM MANUFACTURES WEB SITE]

This is NOT a get rich quick program, but an actual home business that you set up following my detailed instructions. Even if you've tried other online business opportunities and failed, or think that every such website is just a scam, I'd like to PROVE to you that what I'm about to share with you is COMPLETELY different.

Why? Because it WORKS. Plain and simple.

Now please read this quick letter carefully, because I'm going to share with you how I make over $30,000 per month using Google AdWords, and how thousands of ordinary people, just like you, are making a great living without leaving their homes (and when they do leave their homes, they still make money--even while on vacation).

So sit back, relax, and enjoy. Because this very well may be the most important letter you've ever read...
