Wordpress 2.5 and Color TV!
2008-04-29 04:10:00 That title was my attempt at humor, but seriously- it took Hostgator a long time to get with the program and make Wordpress 2.5 available for Fantastico. I must say, though -- it was worth the wait. There are a few new features I really like, but since I'm so behind the times, I won't bother ...

Lazy Me
2008-04-17 18:12:00 Man am I lazy lately. And rightfully so. Things are going well with the biz and things are highly busy at work, so I'm procrastinating a bit with blog posts. It's not without pain though. My Alexa ranking just jumped up to 126,038. Ouch. That means a bunch of people stopped visiting that normally do. My ... More About: Affiliate Marketing , Lazy
Content Network: The Redemption
2008-04-09 20:57:00 So like I was saying, lately I've been testing the content network out on a few campaigns. And to my surprise, the profit margin isn't actually that bad. I mean, I'm not unhappy with any profit margin but so far, it's been around 25% for the ones I've been running. What does that mean for you? ...

Create Some Content, You Mongrels
2008-04-07 18:15:00 Lately, my peeve has been people who are ruining the good image of internet marketers. Everyone knows we are a highly respected bunch. Hey, I kid, I kid. But seriously -- as far as internet marketing goes, the people who want to "get rich quick" make the rest of us look even worse. So my advice ... More About: Affiliate Marketing , Content , Create

More Sleep = More Money?
2008-03-25 17:44:00 If you watched 60 Minutes the other night, you probably saw the clip on sleep. The gist of it was that not getting enough sleep can lead to several known issues: overeating, decreased mental agility, decreased response time, decreased sexual appetite and more. So it made me think of my current situation. Sure, I make a ... More About: Affiliate Marketing , Money , Sleep

Sure, your logic might tell you that the reason you're doing all this is to get away from your day job. It might even be your number one ... More About: Affiliate Marketing , Quit
Affiliate Marketing + iPhone = Love?
2008-03-20 18:46:00 If by love, you mean money.

Wow, I just realized there's no other way to say iPhone without confusing people, so .. prepare for repetition. The real question is - ... More About: Marketing , Affiliate Marketing , Love , Iphone

When Will You Be An Affiliate Marketing Rock Star?
2008-03-12 17:50:00 Affiliate marketing can make you insanely wealthy, but you've gotta be in it to win it. And by wealthy, I'm making a distinction from being rich. Rich people can count their money and state exactly how much they're worth. Wealthy people usually have no idea how much they have because their money grows every day, so ...

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.

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.

The Importance of Keyword Tracking
More articles from this author: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 ... More About: Affiliate Marketing , Keyword , Tracking 1, 2, 3, 4 |
