An affiliate newbie - Profit Lance - Day 4

Ran some more Craigslist ads today to promote the Profit Lance affiliate sites.
Have not seen a dime yet but I did get authorized to now use Google Adsense.
Promoting some of the links from the Live Affiliate Website list. Such as this site:

Adware

I need to write an article about one of the topics. May as well be about Adware. In fact, I think I'll try to write an article about every 3 days or so. Sounds like a good goal to me. Ok, I just submitted an article regarding Adware to both ezinearticles.com and goarticles.com
According to their websites, if the article is accepted, I may have to wait 7-10 days before it is posted. Been visiting a forum today and I believe that I've helped to get someone to sign up with Profit Lance.

Example of a simple article on Adware:

Adware can be defined as a software program that wreaks havoc
with your computer. More appropriately, it is an application
which shows banners, ads, pop-ups and the like on your computer.
Adware has sometimes been called Spyware when it acts to gather
personal information that is on your computer. The reality is
that AdWare is a registered trademark that belongs to AdWare Systems, Inc.
Adware Systems has nothing to do with the pop-ups or spyware that you
may get on your computer.

If your computer is infected with Adware, you may find advertisements
being presented to you when you use a certain software package. Sometimes
it happens when you simply download a freeware or shareware program. The
author may feel that while you have free use of their program, they will
present some ads to you. Those that download programs from file sharing
sites may get more than they expected. While one may get an initial reaction
that all Adware is bad, many reputable and popular products either have used
or currently use Adware, including:

AOL Instant Messenger
Gator
VirusProtectPro
WeatherBug
Zango

If you feel the need to get rid of Adware, there are several programs available
that will either detect, quarantine, and remove Adware. Some of the more popular
include:

Adware Deluxe
Adware Patrol
Doctor Adware Pro

Most of the time Adware (if it is not Spyware) is nothing more than a pain that throws pop-ups at you at the most inappropriate times. Still, if it is not something that you asked for, why should you let it take over your computer? If you believe that your computer is infected with Adware, the first round of defense is to figure out which program causes the issue. A Google search may help in that regard. The next step would be to look at purchasing a well known Adware removal product, such as those listed above. Simply run the program and it should have your computer back to its normal self in not time at all.
