Re: looking for experienced affiliate feedback - Hi Nancy, Hiring an experienced firm to market and sell your products is certainly a viable option. It all depends on whether you want to spend more of your time or money. Hiring a firm is going to cost a good bit I imagine. On the flip side, to do most of the work yourself and attract affiliates to sell your products for you will require much less money but a lot more time and effort. Do you have a budget to work within? Or perhaps maybe you have a loan to get things moving?
ZipCar costs - Kevin, They've got a really good selection of cars from Toyota matrix's to mini's to 4x4's to BMW's. they have a daily limit of 150km and then it's about $0.15/km. You can also rent for the full day for $76 +taxes. That's really helpful on the weekends as most Rental companies require a 2 day rental.

Website value via Cap-Rate - Evan, no I haven't seen it used for websites as it struck me as a way of determining value when I look at Rental properties. I'm sure if you look at the basics of the formula you can figure the numbers you'll need to extract from your Web metrics. I know in the rental market you want to look for a property that has a Cap rate of 10%. In the Toronto market you'll be lucky to get 7%. It's a quick way for an investor to determine if a property is a good buy at first glance and then go deep into the numbers reported. short answer: no I haven't seen it being used to determine website value.
