Morality and Ethics in Affiliate Marketing
2008-03-11 23:08:00
photo credit: BigMcGuire A couple months ago I was still in a dilemma on this issue and thus postponed posting. It all started when I actually decided to promote a product a colon cleanse product based on its high payout. I actually went and developed an optin page (we’ll talk about my random, ...

Hiatus
2008-02-06 18:18:00
Soon after my last post a couple months, we started preparing for a visit abroad to visit family and things took quite a down turn in terms of being able to keep up with work.  All that means is that I have about double the workload than normal and I really have to get moving. Our ...

Money for Time VS. Money for Results
2007-11-14 00:45:00
Last week, I started heading over to the library so I could complete my work without distractions.  What I realized was that some tasks are time-consuming (and it wasn’t just my distractions).  One day last week, I ended up spending about 6 hours straight trying to finish up a product, and left quite frustrated when ...

Flunking with Facebook Flyers (and Ads)
2007-11-13 18:03:00
Since I have an actual goal for November, along with the long term projects I’m working on, I figured I should try to concurrently work on things that will possibly help me reach my goal in the short term as well. I got a WSO on Facebook Flyers last week and I thought I’d ...

Maybe Affiliate Elite is Too Elite For Me
2007-11-09 02:36:00
Yeah, maybe I just don’t get it. Here’s a comment I made on Lost Ball in High Weeds : I have to admit I didn?t see all the videos - didn?t have the time. But from my understanding, the software does two things: 1) Find out what affiliates are promoting a product At least for clickbank, you can ...

NMOC Blues (a.k.a Picking a Bad Affiliate Program)
2007-11-08 17:37:00
One thing that I’ve learned is that it takes just as much research and time to promote a product with $7 commission as it does to promote a product with a $100 commission. Of course, I learned it the hard way. Back in April, I bought Niche Marketing On Crack, and I thought it was a ...

Goals for November
2007-11-07 04:20:00
We’re already done with 1/6th of the month but I’ve decided to put in my writing my goal for the month. I have a ton of unfinished products and techniques on my plate and in some way I don’t even know how I’m going to complete them all concurrently (it’s definitely not recommended).  But I ...

All Sorts of Overloads
2007-10-19 17:03:00
It’s been a while since I’ve written an update.  Mostly because the couple months were busy with both back to school and getting the hang of it, and then Ramadan.  And ofcourse, partly due to procrastination and task overload - because I’m sure I could have meant to write for 5 minutes - after all, ...

Quality Content
2007-08-20 07:22:00
This is such a vital issue in Internet Marketing. What qualifies as quality content? Can a few paragraphs with an affiliate link thrown in the middle pass as good quality content? There are no hard and fast rules, but I believe there are degrees of content quality. Spam is the absolute ...

The Ping List
2007-08-17 01:11:00
When blogging, you need to notify the search engines that you’ve updated your blog, and here comes the value of the ping list. This list allows you to notify the engines themselves rather than wait for them to come along to your site. Since most of my websites are now wordpress based, pinging ...

SEO Tools
2007-08-09 03:23:00
I have been thinking about buying the pricey SEO Elite for some time now since I had read only positive reviews. Just recently got around to doing my own research, and found some useful free alternatives mentioned on seobook.com: BacklinkWatch is a web-based tool that shows the page rank and anchor text of inbound links for ...

Firefox is Amazing
2007-08-05 03:28:00
I joined the Firefox boat kind of late - I really resisted joining.  I was very happy with Internet Explorer until the new version started crashing on me all the time in the middle of my work.  I finally decided to try Firefox and I am truly amazed at the capability of this browser. First of ...

Progress
2007-08-05 02:56:00
Part of my recovery process has been to go through all of my online receipts and come up with a general idea of what I had on my computer. Some things were free and I’ve lost them forever. I’ve also lost the plethora of notepad files that I jotted notes down on. But ...

Laptop Theft and a New Beginning
2007-08-03 06:42:00
When I last left this blog, I was in the middle of typing an SEO tools entry and had to take a break. Went out to eat and my car got broken into with the laptop stolen. I didn’t and don’t care about the physical laptop, but my hard drive must be my ...

Squidoo Slap
2007-07-16 01:03:00
Squidoo is a subject which people have published complete eBooks on - it was an Internet Marketer’s dream. Webpages on Squidoo (which Squidoo calls lenses) were showing up on the first page of Google and getting quickly indexed as well. I was a bit lazy in creating my lenses full force and was ...

Lack of Consistency - A Human Weakness
2007-07-10 02:52:00
I have come to the realization that the most successful are not the smartest people, and they are not necessarily the hardest workers, although that is usually a big plus, but they are the most consistent workers. Whatever, they do, they do consistently, and that will make them more successful in the long term ...
