It’s hard to imagine but it’s been almost half a year since I was in Vegas for Affiliate Summit West. At that time I had been working on about 5 projects. At the moment I’ …
Over the years I’ve joined multiple paid internet marketing forums. I was among the earlier members to the Warrior Forum’s “Marketing to the Herd” paid section, then later the “War Room” (you need to be a paid member to do most of the useful stuff there now), then later Gauher Chaudhry’s PPC Formula and PPC ...
I was talking to Josh Todd earlier today and was asking him about the practice of networks asking their affiliates to set up a 2nd affiliate account and bypass the affiliate who referred them. It was probably one of the inspirations for his post “Are your referral commissions being shaved?”Having been an affiliate manager in ...

One of the frustrations of online marketing is getting an integrated picture of how effective your marketing efforts are, especially which are the traffic sources are working effectively.I’d given off up some off-the-shelf free and paid software and decided to develop my own tracking system a couple of months ago. Besides getting a better picture ...
I was reading Lorenzo’s post about the data from recent split testing case studies (be sure to check out his post if you haven’t. You’ll probably learn a thing, or two, or three.).Then in the comments, Anne Holland (founder of MarketingSherpa and publisher of WhichTestWon?) mentions a free online training event. Looks like a good ...

In testing new traffic sources, I’m amazed that many PPV networks, alternative CPM/PPC networks lack features that longtime Google AdWords advertisers would be used to. Reliable conversion tracking, A/B split testing, accurate and reliable stats that don’t differ from your affiliate network stats with a variation of 50% (equivalent to shooting in the dark in ...
Since the Google Slap took place some time back, it’s been no secret that many affiliates and internet marketers have been switching to alternative traffic sources, including social network advertising (primarily Facebook Ads and Plenty of Fish) and dabbling in impression-based advertising and media buys (like AdSonar, Pulse360).Depending on your experience, it could …

In case you’re wondering if it’s worth the hassle of setting up your own lead generation business, compared to just getting offers from a CPA network. Here’s my local lead generation story. You make the call.About a year ago, I was involved in renting out real estate to tenants. I’d run about $500 worth of ...

I find myself working on 3 different computers – my desktop or one of my laptops and keeping files synched and having easy access to email when I’m at home, at the office, or at a coffeehouse can get challenging. Here’s some of productivity tips I’ve been using.Dropbox: My buddy Josh Todd tweeted about this ...
Before heading to Affiliate Summit in Vegas this past January I paused or discontinued many campaigns. Since coming back I’ve been doing some contract work for a media organization, filing my taxes (about a year’s worth of filing in the last 2 weeks) and along the way I’m about 90% recovered from my tendonitis (since ...
In case you aren’t familiar with Evan Williams, he’s one of the founders of Blogger.com (acquired by Google in 2003) and later Twitter. So EV (his online moniker) knows a thing or two about success. What you may not know is that Blogger was on the verge of going bust when all the employees at ...
It’s been about 2 weeks since my last post and since I’m the one usually bashing on other bloggers not posting regularly enough, I’ve posting an interim update.Why the delay?Couple of things – I had a bout of tendonitis (you might’ve seen my wrist brace at January’s Affiliate Summit) that flared up pretty badly about ...
A friend of mine had been generating 6-figs/mth consistently from rebill offers (using somewhat questionable landing page) and had been banking pretty hard via media buys from early 2009 to around Oct. Since Well Fargo and other payment processors have turned the tap off the rebill arrangement for many of these offers, the majority of ...
