Affiliates Marketers and Our Negative Stigma
2008-03-05 09:29:00 For a while now, I've noticed a negative stigma that people have about affiliate marketing in general. It wasn't until I read about Jason Calacanis's controversial remarks in his keynote speech at ASW 08 regarding the business that it really struck a cord. Among all things, stated, here are a few: "Affiliates are polluting our own well ... More About: Affiliate Marketing , Stigma , Negative , Marketers
The Content Network: Sure, Why Not?
2008-03-01 20:26:00 I started affiliate marketing at the beginning of 2007 but it didn't really take off until I started pushing, as you might guess, ring tones. It took me from a few sales a day totaling about $50-60 on Click bank to a couple hundred per day on Azoogle. Starting ring tones wasn't my idea. It was my ...

Landing Pages: Single vs Mini Site
2008-02-27 06:36:00 Lately, I've been experimenting with both single-page landing pages as well as mini sites. A single-page landing page, as you might imagine, is a landing page that links to no other sites but the jump/hop links. Mini sites are an extension of single-page landing pages in that they have other pages, such as the "about ... More About: Tools , Affiliate Marketing , Site , Landing Pages
Yahoo Sucks Less - No Longer With Fixed Minimum Bids
2008-02-27 01:37:00 If you're an affiliate marketer, then you know Yahoo ! has had its minimum bid set at $0.10 for the longest time. Well, now they've decided to change this, but not across the board. The change will go into effect for sponsored search keywords only and doesn't apply to all keywords. Yahoo's intention here is, as far ... More About: Affiliate Marketing , Sucks , Minimum , Fixed
Azoogle Is Suck To Me
2008-02-27 00:49:00 Oh man. Some people just make being alive golden. Please take a moment to view this thread on DigitalPoint and recognize the hilariousness that is the language gap.

Free Money! No, But Seriously..
2008-02-26 10:00:00 Although I'm sure you've seen links out there just like these, I wouldn't be doing my job if I didn't try to inform every new affiliate about these bad-ass offers. If you're just getting started with affiliate marketing, you'll probably want to get your feet wet with some play money, so take advantage. First off, we ...

The Importance of Keyword Tracking
2008-02-20 00:30:00 Lately I've been getting a lot of questions revolving around keyword tracking. Apparently, people still don't think it's very important to track which keywords convert into sales. Apparently, the mindset is that as long as you're in profit, that's all that matters. WRONG. If you aren't taking advantage of tracking individual keywords, you're losing money, period. How do ...

Compete With Yourself
2008-02-19 21:34:00 One of the best pieces of advice my dad ever gave me, I think, was "compete with yourself." While it's counter-intuitive to focus solely on yourself vs looking at how other people are doing and trying to top them, it's generally a better method for getting ahead. I say this because I've done both and my ... More About: Affiliate Marketing , Compete

2008-02-07 20:32:00 Recently, I was trying to run a campaign that did very well initially but then bottomed out within a couple of weeks.

2008-01-30 00:21:00 I won't go nuts over the 215 RSS Subscribers because although it's crazy awesome, I know it fluctuates up and down. But I will say how bad-ass to see ATB growing like it is.
