Fraxel Laser Treatment

Better Skin, Easier!

Want to turn back the clock on aging? Fraxel fractional resurfacing can help. We are pleased to offer this new and exciting technology for sun damage, enlarged pores, wrinkles, skin discolorations, melasma, and acne scars. Fraxel is a unique approach to repairing aging and sun-damaged skin pixel by pixel, spot by spot. Please call 202-966-8814 for a complimentary Fraxel consultation.
The Center for Laser Surgery was one of the first practices in the country to offer the updated Fraxel Re:Store (SR1500) laser treatment. This second-generation Fraxel laser provides a safer, more effective treatment with a shorter treatment time, and no longer requires blue dye to be applied to the patient's face.

How Fraxel Laser Works: Fraxel Laser Treatment produces thousands of tiny but deep columns of treatment in your skin, known as microthermal treatment zones. This treatment eliminates old epidermal pigmented cells. It also penetrates deep into the dermis. Just as important, though, are the areas of skin the Fraxel laser leaves untouched. For every microthermal zone the laser targets and treats intensively, it leaves the surrounding tissue unaffected and intact. This “fractional” treatment allows the skin to heal much faster than if the entire area were treated at once, using the body’s natural healing process to create new, healthy tighter tissue to replace skin imperfections.
In an FDA-cleared study of Fraxel treatment of skin around the eyes, patients, investigators, and a review panel of expert dermatologists all reported significant improvements in skin texture, wrinkles, and skin discolorations such as age spots and sun spots.

Fraxel Treatment Before and After

Fraxel Treatment Plan: Before treatment, you and your doctor will discuss which area(s) of your skin is appropriate for treatment, what kind of results you can expect, what to look for after treatment, and how often treatment will be scheduled. Because Fraxel Laser treatment spares healthy tissue, it is effective even on delicate skin areas, such as the neck, chest, and hands.

Fraxel Treatment Before and After

Preparing For Treatment: Fraxel Laser Treatment can be performed using only a topical anesthetic. The treatment area will be thoroughly cleansed prior to the procedure.
What Happens After Treatment: You will experience a mild sunburn sensation for about an hour and then virtually no discomfort. The skin will have a pinkish tone for five to seven days. New epidermal skin develops within 24 hours. This process of skin repair involves:

Bronzing: Your skin will have a bronze appearance that lasts anywhere from three to fourteen days, depending on the treatment level.
Flaking: Your skin will naturally and vigorously exfoliate as the reorganized epidermal skin replaces dead tissue. Flaking is similar to that of minor sunburn, without the associated pain. Use of a moisturizer will mask the appearance of flaking.
Sunscreen: Use sunscreen at least twice daily to protect your skin from sun exposure during the healing phase and for several months after treatment. Apply a moisturizing sun block with an SPF of at least 30-plus. For added protection from sunlight, use wide-brimmed hats.

Over the following weeks and months, the body repairs the deeper dermal tissues that have been affected by Fraxel Laser treatment, producing beneficial changes associated with a healthy appearance of your skin.
We also offer a quick, complimentary post-Fraxel procedure utilizing a Gentlewaves LED Photomodulator which has been proven to enhance Fraxel results and reduce immediate post-treatment redness. While many offices chage in excess of $100 for this treatment alone, we offer it complimentary to ensure the best results and the least downtime to our Fraxel patients.
Improve your skin with each visit. After several treatments friends and family will marvel at how youthful and healthy your skin looks. Finally, there is a proven, safe approach to repairing aging and sun-damaged skin.

Carbon Dioxide & Erbium Laser Resurfacing

Ultrapulse Carbon Dioxide and Erbium: YAG resurfacing remain one of the most spectacular advances in cutaneous laser medicine in the last decade. When patients and their conditions are carefully selected and the procedure performed by experienced and knowledgeable physicians results can be truly remarkable. Laser Skin Resurfacing In 1993 The Center for Laser Surgery pioneered the use of these lasers and published the first scientific evidence detailing the effects of Carbon Dioxide lasers in human skin. The Center for Laser Surgery has personally performed 1000’s of laser resurfacing procedures and has trained over 3000 physicians in the use of these lasers.
Before		Lip Lines		After
The UltraPulse® CO2 laser emits extremely high infrared energy delivered in very short pulses, causing immediate heating of small predictable volumes of tissue. The almost instantaneous heating of tissue prevents unwanted heat diffusion from the target, which reduces or eliminates the chance of scarring associated with the use of older CO2 lasers.
Before		Lip Lines		After
Dr. Adrian was one of the first physicians in the world to perform laser resurfacing in 1993. His published tissue studies serve as the foundation for the current use of resurfacing lasers. Tissue studies performed by The Center for Laser Surgery support the concept that treatment with the UltraPulse® Laser induces new collagen formation in the dermis post operatively over a period of 3 to 6 months enhancing the effects of the laser resurfacing procedure.
Before		Sun Damage		After
Erbium: YAG lasers emit extremely short pulses of infrared energy (2940nm). Tissue studies published by our center show that these lasers remove very precise thin layers of skin or tissue with each pass (pulse). In effect this laser behaves similar to a dermabrasion device with significantly more control in the removal of skin layers. Erbium lasers are ideal for treating acne scars, mole removal tattoo removal and rhinophyma. In fact we use these lasers whenever we need precise skin planning type excisions. Diffuse Facial Aging Conditions, which respond to Carbon Dioxide and Erbium lasers, include upper and lower lip lines (smokers lines), under eye wrinkles and loose skin, diffuse facial wrinkles acne scars and diffuse facial sun damage. In addition congenital pigmented nevi, moles, certain tattoos, and nevus sebaceous have also proven responsive to these lasers. Sweat gland tumors around the eyes called syringomas also respond quite well to laser resurfacing. Rhinophyma, a disfiguring overgrowth of nose skin secondary to acne rosacea can be treated using a combination of CO2 and Erbium lasers with excellent cosmetic results. Laser Removal of Nevi (Moles) Laser Eyelid Resurfacing Nevus Sebaceous Rhinophyma Rhinophyma The Center for Laser Surgery has extensive experience treating a group of diffuse skin keratinization disorders showing warty skin overgrowth (systemized epidermal nevi). Carbon dioxide and Erbium laser treatment of this condition has often provided remarkable results by removing and flattening these disfiguring lesions. Systemized Epidermal Nevi Systemized Epidermal Nevi Systemized Epidermal Nevi If you have a condition which you feel may be improved by these lasers please call for a consultation. If travel is difficult please send a photo by email to adrian@lasersurgery.com. Carbon Dioxide Laser Facial Rejuvenation Although Ultrapulse® carbon dioxide resurfacing remains the gold standard for the treatment of facial wrinkles and acne scars, most patients do not realize that superficial single pass resurfacing can yield remarkable results with significantly less postoperative down time. Recent publications* from the Center for Laser Surgery highlight the fact that low energy single pass resurfacing can effectively rejuvenate photo-damaged skin and remove fine lines. Photo Aged Skin Healing is rapid with most patients back in makeup at 5 to 7 days. Superficial carbon dioxide resurfacing is ideal for patients with pigmentation disturbances, pre-cancerous growths and fine lines and younger patients with early aging changes. * Adrian, RM: Superficial Carbon Dioxide and Erbium: YAG Lasers for Photo-Aged Facial Skin.

Laser Birthmark Removal

• Port Wine Stain
• Nevus of Ota
• Cafe Au Lait

The Center for Laser Surgery has over twenty years experience in laser treatment of birthmarks and is a recognized expert in the treatments of the entire spectrum of congenital vascular and pigmented skin conditions.
Approximately five percent of patients are born with one or more types skin discolorations commonly referred as birthmarks. Birthmarks maybe vascular in nature ranging from flat capillary hemangiomas or port wine stains to large raised vuascular growths or hemangiomas.

Port Wine Stain

Brown pigmented birthmarks or café au lait spots are also commonly noted in a significant number of newborns. Nevus of Ota is a blue-black birthmark commonly seen at birth or developing in the first few years of life.
Fortunately new advances in laser surgery have enabled us to remove or improve many of these conditions. The Center For Laser Surgery has a ten unique vascular and pigment lesion lasers capable of treating port wine stains hemangiomas, café au lait lesions and nevus of Ota.
Nevus of Ota or blue-black facial birthmarks can be treated using newer Q-Switched Ruby, Alexandrite and Neodymium-YAG Lasers.
Birthmarks are congenital (present at birth) abnormalities of the skin that are seen in approximately 5% of the population. Birthmarks may be composed of blood vessels, (port wine stain or hemangiomas), pigmented cells called café au lait (coffee and cream) or blue black dermal stains called nevus of Ota.

Port Wine Stain

Port wine stains can occur anywhere on the body and may rarely be associated with underlying abnormalities of the eye and brain. Port wine stains show diffuse collections of dilated capillaries in the dermis thus their name capillary hemangioma. New treatments using pulsed yellow and green light lasers can improve or eliminate many of these lesions.
The Center for Laser Surgery has various programs for infants, children and adults with these conditions. Hemangiomas are raised vascular tumors that may be found in superficial or deep (cavernous) locations in the skin. Hemangiomas may undergo rapid growth in the first few weeks of life and may present problems secondary to compression of vital structures (eye, neck). Evidence suggests that hemangiomas are best treated early in life prior to there rapid expansion phase. Multiple lasers are available, at our center to address these vascular tumors. Pulsed yellow, green light, Diode, Alexandrite and ND-YAG lasers are all used to treat these lesions depending on size, color and anatomic location. Pigment birthmarks are divided into superficial epidermal (café au lait) or deep (nevus of ota) varieties.

Coffee and Cream Birthmark

Café au lait birthmarks are caused by excess melanin deposits in the epidermis and respond very favorably to pulsed green light lasers. However, there is approximately a 50% risk of recurrence requiring re-treatment. Nevus of Ota shows good to excellent response using Ruby, Alexandrite or ND YAG lasers. Multiple treatments are required to eliminate the collections of pigment cells seen deep in the dermis.

Nevus of Ota (Blue Facial Birthmark)

Birthmarks are generally treated until no further lightening occurs. We may at that point try other lasers in order to obtain further response.
If you or someone you know is concerned about their birthmark and would like more information on birthmark removal or improvement, please call the Center for Laser Surgery at 202-966-8814 for a consultation.

Facts About Laser Hair Removal

Over the past ten years the Center for Laser Surgery has been involved in patient treatment and clinical research regarding laser-assisted hair removal. We are pleased to offer a wide variety of advanced laser systems for removing unwanted body hair which includes face, neck and back hair. The following material will inform you of the benefits, risks and anticipated results associated with laser hair removal.

Ingrown Hair...           2 years after treatment

How does laser hair removal work?

At the present time four laser wavelengths are available for the treatment of unwanted body hair. In essence, these wavelengths target pigment granules in the hair (melanin) in an effort to destroy hair follicles. Hair follicles are capable of producing hairs of various thickness and colors. Dark hair contains the pigment melanin which serves as the target for energy at these wavelengths. Four wavelengths, 694nm. produced by the Ruby laser, 755nm. produced by the Alexandrite laser, 800nm. produced by the Diode laser, and 1064nm. produced by the Neodymium-YAG laser, have been shown to be effective in the removal of pigmented hair. The pulsed laser energy is absorbed by the pigmented hair shaft and transferred to the surrounding follicle. The heat build-up caused by the absorption of energy by the hair itself is capable of creating follicular damage and retard or prevent future hair production by that follicle.

How successful is the process of laser hair removal?

Don't pay attention to false and misleading claims by so called experts. Patients will achieve varying degrees of success. The application of these laser energies to the skin results in almost complete removal of all actively growing hairs. The number of hairs that are permanently removed as a result of one treatment can vary. Part of the difficulty in eradication of unwanted or excess hair lies in the fact that the follicle has tremendous regenerative capabilities and that these recuperative powers are highly variable from individual to individual and from one anatomic site to another.
In most instances multiple treatments are necessary in order to achieve permanent hair reduction and in some instances treatment may fail to permanently remove all the hair in a given anatomic site. In order to understand the process it is important to understand the biology of hair growth itself. Hair growth cycles are divided into three phases. The anagen follicle or growing hair is the major target for laser energy and represents the most vulnerable phase of the hair growth cycle. Telogen or resting hairs are not actively growing and appear to be more resistant to the laser energy. The transitional phase between anagen and telogen phases known as the catagen phase is brief but also relatively resistant to laser removal.

Laser Hair Removal (chin)

Depending on the body site, various percentages of hairs are in the anagen, catagen and telogen phase. As a result, it is necessary to treat a given anatomic area more than once in order to attempt to achieve permanent hair removal. Since the anagen phase is most vulnerable, a period of one to three months between treatments is necessary to allow the resting or telogen phase hairs to once again enter the anagen cycle and become more sensitive to the laser energy.

How is the laser treatment performed?

Laser hair removal is a time-consuming but relatively straightforward process. You may be given a prescription for topical anesthetic cream and may also be instructed how to apply this cream (BLT) at home. We can also apply the cream in the office if desired. This cream greatly reduces the discomfort associated with the laser hair removal process. Prior to treatment the hairs will be shaved and the laser treatment will proceed. Treatment times vary from a few minutes for areas such as the chin and neck to a few hours for extensive areas of the legs, back and chest. After the procedure cool compresses and soothing gels are applied to the treated area and patients spend time relaxing before being discharged. Patients are asked to return in one week for a follow-up visit and then are examined monthly in order to determine when it is best to re-treat the involved areas.

What will I look like after treatment?

The application of laser energy to the skin results in a pink color and on occasion crusting in the area will develop lasting a few days. Discomfort similar to a sunburn may be noted over the first 24 hour period and in extensive cases Tylenol or mild Codeine containing analgesics may be used. In certain instances, especially in darker complected individuals, temporary pigmentation changes may be noted. One may notice hair within the follicles for up to two weeks after therapy, however, this will fall out leaving smooth, hair-free skin.

What do I have to do before the treatment begins?

During your initial consultation you will be asked to provide a detailed medical and hormonal history. When indicated, we will obtain blood tests in order to uncover any hormone-related causes which may be associated with the excess production of body hair. Patients who are darker skin type may use a bleaching cream (Hydroquinone 4%, or Kojic Acid) for three to four weeks prior to treatment in order to lessen the effects of brown melanin pigment in the skin surrounding the hair follicle.

What are the risks associated with laser hair removal?

Laser hair removal has proven to be a very safe procedure when performed in physicians offices, not at spas and strip malls. Since laser pulses are a constant energy, there is little chance of scarring associated with this process. In certain instances temporary increased or decreased pigmentation will be noted within the lasered sites, especially in more darkly pigmented patients. In certain cases there may be some degree of crusting during the postoperative period which is treated by the use of bland emollients or topical antibiotics.
Nurses and physicians are on call 24 hours a day to assist you through your postoperative period and to answer any questions you may have during this time.

What are the costs involved in the procedure?

Laser hair removal involves the use of sophisticated expensive laser equipment in order to deliver precise and effective energy pulses. During your initial consultation the areas to be treated will be determined and a fee quote per treatment session will be given to you. This fee involves the cost of the procedure, dressings and postoperative visits. The fee for re-treatment sessions at one to two month intervals may be the same or less than the initial treatment depending on the extent of follow-up treatment needed. Our aim is to provide safe, effective and affordable laser treatments for patients wishing to avail themselves of this service.

What can I expect?

Laser treatment for hair removal currently represents one of the most exciting areas within laser medicine and surgery. Patient variation and the nature of hair follicle growth make it difficult to predict the exact outcome in every case. We are committed to excellence and will attempt to provide a pleasing cosmetic result for all of our patients, however, no specific guarantees can be made with regard to the final outcome.

How To Find Canada and UK Personals Yahoo!

14:08  ADMIN  No comments

Find a prospective soul mate or a lovely date with Personals Yahoo!. Created and designed for singles and for the singles again, Yahoo! is equipped as an exhaustive search engine to deliver profiles as fast and as free as 1-2-3. The good news with Yahoo! Personals is its 5-star security, promising you a safe and serious network online to find the right woman or man for you. "Your identity, your mailbox, your choice" is Yahoo! Personals' motto. So, get a free personal profile and post pictures.

Residents in Canada may open the Yahoo! Personals in their area by just typing in Yahoo! Personals Canada in their search engines. UK residents may also open theirs with Yahoo! Personals UK and Ireland. This one of the many dating personals is relatively new and so it only features a few countries so far.

After reading the code of conduct and the guidelines for Yahoo's personal ads online, you will be required to fill out a form as honestly as possible as Yahoo! staff take these data quite seriously. Whether you write your real name, though, is strictly optional. You may even place a codename or a nickname although recent surveys indicate that members would rather choose profiles with real names posted.

Once you get the hang of it, you may subscribe and be a member of the Yahoo! Personals. One source states that Yahoo's free personal adult ads don't take too much out of the budget. In America, it takes about a dollar fee every day. The Yahoo search engines may then find matches for you based on the information you placed on your personals profile. Based on users' comments, the site does the matching very effectively. Many commented on the relatively close traits matching each other and many have found their true love online. It is common to hear people recommending Yahoo! Personals as the place to find a serious relationship with individuals who may become your future fiancée, husband or wife.

You can search through hundreds of matches with Yahoo! Personals or look for your match along the "View Similar Profiles". These individuals are screened for common traits, hopes, dreams, career goals and beliefs you may share with them. Poke or give the guy/girl who interested you an Icebreaker message made for this purpose (don't worry, it's free once you've subscribed). It may be your lucky day when the person gives the Icebreaker message back. Privately email or give a private video, which is one of the features in Yahoo! Personals.

If you want to try online dating African American people or dating with someone in Australia, etc. you can still look for matches in Yahoo! designated country sites (as usually, Yahoo! Personals limit their members to the designated country).

Take note that Yahoo! Personals take their membership quite seriously. Non-members (read: those who have not subscribed yet) cannot give private emails or videos. An account containing indecent or inappropriate information like nude photos, or posting other people's photos, posting sexual exploits or someone that is not really single may result ina kick out. Update your profile as much as possible as this can further limit the searches into a more cozy number of potential mates.

If you're looking for a future mate, look for Yahoo! Personals and get the guy/girl of your dreams. Satisfaction guaranteed.

Benchmarking

Process benchmarking: an application to lending products

Benchmarking techniques evolved from Xerox’s pioneering visit to Japan in the late 1970s. However, the application of the benchmarking concept to the banking industry did not take place until the late 1990s. Process benchmarking, in particular, is a tool that helps FIs to cut costs, improve productivity and integrate business processes. Although process benchmarking involves divulging what may be considered as sensitive or confidential information, forming de facto benchmarking partnerships with competitors allows participating institutions to compare cost and output advantages and disadvantages, when performing key processes involved in lending operations. This paper presents an application of process benchmarking to lending operations across Australia to highlight differences in costs involved in seemingly identical value chains.

Interpreting Your Data: How To Understand Calculated Metrics

Wednesday, October 26, 2011 | 12:12 PM

Labels: Interpreting Your Data

Welcome to the second post in our "Interpreting Your Data" series for affiliate advertisers, brought to you by Google Affiliate Network analysts. View all posts in the series here. 

Calculated metrics provide great insight into how specific variables are performing. A few of these commonly used metrics are conversion rate, click through rate, and average order value.
In this post, we will use examples to discuss how you can use calculated metrics to interpret your affiliate program data. 

Reviewing performance data using calculated metrics:
You’re in the Google Affiliate Network interface, reviewing performance reports and notice your conversion rate has increased. You may think -- “That’s great news!” Or, is it?

Before celebrating, you’ll need to ask a few more questions and take a deeper look to determine whether an increase in conversion rate is really a positive indicator for your overall program.

This is because conversion rate is a calculated metric that is generated by combining two other metrics -- in this case, conversions divided by clicks. Whenever you use a calculated metric, you should understand what’s happening to both of the underlying metrics to to determine an overall trend.

Example 1:

• In period 1, you have 33 conversions and 100 clicks, so your conversion rate is 33%.
• In period 2, you have 25 conversions and 50 clicks, so your conversion rate is 50%.

As you can see, the conversion rate goes up in period 2. Is that good? There are fewer conversions in period 2 and fewer clicks. You should investigate why clicks went down before you can determine if this is a positive or negative indicator.

Understanding metric composition:
With an affiliate program, you should also consider the composition of each metric. That is, the composition of all of the publishers that are driving clicks and conversions. Each individual publisher composes one part of each metric.If you see conversion rates go down, you may think that this is negative indicator. To determine the significance, you should check if the conversion rate is down for every publisher and if you added any new publishers. 

Example 2:

• Publisher X had 33 conversions from 100 clicks totaling a 33% conversion rate. 
• Then you add publisher Y, who generates 200 clicks, 20 conversions totaling 10% conversion rate.
• These two publisher combined generate 53 conversions on 300 clicks, for a conversion rate of 26.5%. 
• The combined conversion rate is down, but that’s only because you added a publisher that drives more clicks at a lower than average conversion rate. 
• You still have 33% conversion from publisher Y that drove 100 clicks.

In this example, it’s important to look more closely at the new publisher. It’s possible they have a lower conversion rate due to their business model. Adding this publisher to the program changes your overall number.

In summary, when you’re looking at the movement of a calculated metric (such as conversion rate and average order value) you shouldn’t stop there. To understand the shift, you should do a bit more investigating to find out why that metric moved.

Interpreting Your Data: Where do I start?

Thursday, October 6, 2011 | 8:15 AM

Labels: Interpreting Your Data

Welcome to the first post in our new "Interpreting Your Data" series for affiliate advertisers, brought to you by Google Affiliate Network analysts. View all posts in the series here.
Affiliate program success can be evaluated in different ways, so you’ll need to clearly define performance requirements and metrics early. Questions you should seek to answer include:

- What is happening?
- Why it is happening?
- What actions can I take?

In this post, we’ll cover time periods and getting started with performance analysis.

Time Periods
The first thing you'll want to decide is what time periods are important to you. Do you want a broad,  monthly view or do you need to get more granular with a weekly view? Next, decide how you want to compare your time periods.  Year over year will help take seasonality into account.  If you are a new affiliate advertiser, week over week and/or month over month will help show how your program is growing.

Performance analysis
After the time period comparisons are determined, start by looking at your main metrics and see if they’re up or down.  It's important to look at more than just transactions.  An increase in transactions is valuable but you'll also want to see if your clicks increased to really understand the reason behind your increase.  Did your opportunities just convert better or did you have a larger base of clicks?

Now, it's time to dig deeper into your program and examine changes in publisher performance. Take a look at your publishers using the same time comparisons. This will help you identify and sort by publisher activity to find the biggest increases or decreases. If only a few of your publishers saw large gains, review any actions you took with them. Did you purchase an ad placement? Did you increase their commission rate or run an exclusive affiliate offer with them? If you saw increases across many or most of your publishers, this could be a result of a sale, or might be tied to publishers implementing creatives or offers that better appealed to your customers.  Once you're able to make conclusions about the cause and impacts of program changes, you can take the appropriate steps to optimize publisher performance and drive more conversions.

It's important to understand when gains or losses are due to seasonality and when they’re due to actions taken by you and/or your publishers.  For instance, if December is your top month, January sales are going to be down when comparing month over month.  This is why it's helpful to use year over year comparisons and understand the seasonality of your business.

A look ahead at Google Affiliate Network

Tuesday, September 27, 2011 | 2:53 PM

Labels: Features, Product Releases

Here at Google Affiliate Network, we’re working hard to make our product faster, more innovative, and available to more users. You may have already noticed many changes in the past few months, and we encourage you to check out our Interface Updates page to stay up-to-date on the latest.

In light of these changes (and many more to come), we’d like to take a moment to share our vision for our product.

Scale, scale, scale
We’re striving to make our product available to more publishers, advertisers and consumers around the world. So we’ve completely rewritten our hardware and software ecosystem to achieve vast technical scale. This allows us to make Google Affiliate Network available globally, launch innovative new features, and rapidly implement changes with little to no disruption to our users.

Affiliate Marketing for all
We believe strongly in the value of the affiliate channel, and we want to do our part to help it grow. We’re already paying publishers in over 40 currencies. We want to do better. We want all publishers and advertisers to use an interface that is customized to their timezone and language, and to be able to target ads to languages, regions, and audiences that they care about. We also hope to make it easier to sign up, find and run ads, and build relationships, so that publishers and advertisers who are new to the channel can jump right in.

Integrate with other Google products that you use
For those of you who use multiple Google products, we want you to be able to incorporate Google Affiliate Network into a seamless workflow. Today, you can already access Google Affiliate Network using the Google account of your choice. Publishers are paid via Google AdSense’s fast and reliable global payments system. Advertisers manage product feeds via their Google Merchant Center account, and they can access Google Ad Planner within their Google Affiliate Network account to evaluate whether a potential publisher affiliate is a good fit. We want to continue integrating with other Google products that are crucial to your workflow.

Find opportunities that make sense to you
Today, publishers and advertisers are able to find new relationships via the Opportunity Center. We’re also working on ways for you to see the creatives, opportunities, and products that will perform best on a given site -- and make that update quickly and easily. It should be easier for you to communicate with partners directly within the interface -- no emails or phone calls necessary (unless you want them).

Make decisions based on actionable insights 
We want you to have access to insights that help you understand every aspect of your affiliate program. We’re focused on creating tools in the interface to help you develop a profitable commission strategy, better understand how customers are reacting to your opportunities, analyze results of paid placements, and clearly see areas for improvement.

Protect your investment through quality controls
Google Affiliate Network already has the highest standards in the affiliate industry to keep our publisher network clean and free from violations. We will continue to harness Google’s strong anti-abuse tools to protect the affiliate ecosystem.

This is the future as we see it, and the changes you see today are the first steps towards these goals. For frequent updates on the latest changes, please refer to our Interface Updates page.

System maintenance from Sept 19-22

Wednesday, September 14, 2011 | 3:46 PM

Labels: System Maintenance

We are nearing the final stages of retiring our legacy systems and moving all Google Affiliate Network functions to Google systems. You have likely already noticed some of the changes associated with this process such as improvements to your account homepage, new reports, and faster-loading pages.  

In order to complete the final stages of migration, we will need to take the user interface down for maintenance from 8:00pm - 11:00pm CDT each evening from September 19th through September 22nd.  Please note that tracking will not be affected during these maintenance periods.

The releases taking place next week are important steps in completing our migration process and have been tested extensively by our engineering team.  However, if you notice any issues, or have any questions, please contact your account manager or send us an email at affiliate-migration@google.com. 

Google with its own affiliate network

Google launched a new affiliate network with the name "Google Affiliate Network." As part of the DoubleClick acquisition Google had acquired the Performics affiliate network and developed. The possibilities it will certainly be in the range as existing Google AdWords, AdSense ... integrated.

This shows Google's interest and his assessment of the potential of affiliate marketing or affiliate business. In particular, this decision is understandable when looking at the sales figures for the year 2007 including the growth of large, active networks in Germany:

     zanox: € 166 million - growth of 55%
     affili.net: 80 million - Growth
     tradedoubler 282 million - growth of 53%

Admirable is the Anspassungsfähigkeit again by Google. The voices that Google, on the one side and the affiliates on the other hand saw, are still not died down and there was even talk that Google has declared war on the affiliates.

Strategically, the now recognizable way more intelligent than a confrontation and it is exciting to see what Google will set up guide.
