Internet Marketing Blogs UK

The Problem There is a problem that is annoying content affiliates up and down this great marketplace we call the internet – and that is voucher code sites overwriting cookies from content affiliates who have made effort in preselling a merchant. Aswell as that merchants find it increasingly annoying to have to pay out a commission to a voucher [...]

Codes Codes Codes  With the recent rush from retail sites to offer discount codes to every affiliate out there I thought I would outline how we have constructed a special CMS for our travel website, enabling us to aggregate both offers and codes from travel suppliers. TravelPixel Within the travel sphere, discount codes have been fairly slow to take [...]

Time to Clean Up! Ive been meaning to write about this for a couple weeks but have been a tad busy with various pressing matters so here goes. The announcement in question from Google can be read here. Basically this means that the actual display url used in adwords PPC adverts will have to match EXACTLY the [...]

Right, you will never have guessed, I like Dragons Den. By previous posts you can tell I like a bit of the Den and the banter, serious pitching skills advice and some of the loony inventions. But TV shows like this would flop if it wasn’t for the characters behind the ‘Dragons’ / investors. Peter Jones & [...]

It is the dream of many. Getting a full time income and having much more free time, the freedom to do what you want when you want without having to worry about taking time off work or having the money to actually have fun. There has been oodles written about the 4 hour working week or similar, [...]

Yes that top source of traffic for some sneeky domain name pirates is back on tonight. Yes it is Series 8 of Dragon’s Den, Episode 1 of this new serise is broadcast on BBC Two 9pm tonight (14 Jul 2010). The lineup has not changed again this year, so see here for Affiliatedogma’s Rating of Dragon’s [...]

Well, rightly on wrongly, I’ve come to the conclusion that trying to get income from domain parking is a mug’s game, in most cases.  I’m sure there are a few people out there who are doing very well out there and I’m sure they will post a comment and tell me so. Parking domains in the [...]

I wrote an update on my domain parking progress some time ago and it’s time to add to it. Well I’ve had domains parked for over 3 months now and the results have been very poor.  This is traditional domain parking. That is, you have a site, you register it with a domain parking host and [...]

Here’s a little update on Beyond Domain Parking to generate cash.  At present the results are not very impressive. There have been a few clicks but not enough. However, because of keyword choice the clicks have been of reasonable value. The key is still about traffic and getting ranked high enough in google.  Also it seems [...]

twid·i·ot [twid-ee-uht] –noun 1. an idiot that tweets way too much about stuff no one cares about all day long. Have you ever followed a celebrity on Twitter only to feel completely let down by what you read in their messages? A number of months ago, after reading books written by Duncan Bannatyne’s ghost writer I decided to follow [...]

What type of Acorn are you? ACORN is a geodemographic tool used to identify and understand the UK population and the demand for products and services. Businesses use this information to improve their understanding of customers, target markets etc. ACORN categorises all 1.9 million UK postcodes, which have been described using over 125 demographic statistics within England, [...]

You won’t believe how the title of this post still sends shivers down my spine, even though 19 years have passed since I left school! That time of year has come again, where I’ve stupidly agreed to take part in a physical activity that my body is quite clearly not in shape for. On 16th May, [...]

Many years ago there was an Emperor so exceedingly fond of new domains that he spent all his money on a vast collection. He had a domain name for everything and instead of saying, as one might, about any other ruler, “The King’s in council,” here they always said. “The Emperor is on Google”. Every [...]

This is a pretty long blog post but an important one; it brings to your attention your online business being at the mercy of whoever you bought your .uk domain from. Nominet has introduced a new service that will allow Registrars, if they suspect a domain name is being used for an illegal activity, to [...]

You reach a certain level in Affiliate Marketing where you have learned the basics on how to get sites to rank, customers to click from your page and buy from Merchants. It’s time to start paying more attention to your own mini-brands, how you look and what people think of your site. Normally the first [...]

Make yourself so useful, when you are not around people notice.

It’s a bitter moment when your peers tell you to f**k off. But this is what happened to a big cheese in the game publising industry called Mark Rein of Epic games. Go read it, if you like to see the Indie kid take down the big business behemoth you will love it. I love [...]

Some people over complicate things. Blogging is simply a communications tool. Once the piece of information you want to communicate is acheived, its purpose is done. Therefore the length of the blog is merely something for the aesthetic. Of course it could be argued that a blog is also an “emotional delivery machine”, or an [...]

On the back cover of Joe Karbo’s classic book, The Lazy Man’s Way To Riches, it has “$1,000.00″ printed, followed by “Not the selling price but guaranteed to be what it’s worth to you – at the very least!” Now that I am putting the finishing touches to my own book, Get Out While You Can, [...]

Who Rules Bartertown? Mad Max fans will know the answer straight away. Master Blaster rules Bartertown. I’m a big Mad Max fan and am eagerly awaiting the forthcoming Mad Max 4 – Fury Town. I even registered the Bartertown.co.uk domain name with plans to create a barter website at some point in the [...]

It appears that my current popularity knows no bounds. I base this rather surprising fact on the large number of webmasters desperate to link to one or more of my websites. I’ve noticed an ever increasing number of link requests coming into my various inboxes over the past few months, so much so [...]

Thanks to Martin for sending round this pretty cool blog post about the life cycle of a umm Blog Post!  Check it out here http://www.wired.com/special_multimedia/2008/ff_secretlife_1602.  To zoom in on the diagram click and hold!

I'm going to do what most people who blog about Affiliate Marketing don't do and "show you the good stuff", a financial history of one of our sites, that started off very small and has grown to become a very nice earner.

Everyone who runs a website had to start somewhere, begging and scrounging for links as best you can. The tried and tested formula of emailing sites telling them “I really liked your site and found it very useful…” hoping your hit rate might grab a few link exchanges with sites higher up the PR chain. Eventually, [...]

as Ben Elton used to say. This Thursday sees local elections across the UK, but in Scotland we also have the election for the Scottish Parliament. It might not mean much to you now, but by Friday it will probably dominate the news. As things stand, looking at the opinion polls over the last few weeks, the [...]

I’ve just seen a post over at the A4U forum basically asking the masses ‘who should I promote’ and I’ve replied but thought id give a bit of a ‘how I make my choices’ sort of view on here. Ill use travel as an example as its what I know fairly well now, and the person [...]

Well after remembering I owned a blog I went on holiday and forgot again, after a few tweaks to upgrade bits of it (still loads to do) I thought id do my first real post of the year. Being involved in travel I thought id have a stab at posting something useful. This years not been [...]

Im not dead. Ive just been sifting through 123-Reg and checking what domains I still own (108 in total) because I had to update my credit card details and realised ive still got a blog, that ive not used for about 7 months. Well lets get tat changed, a lots happened for me over the past [...]

Google looks to be creating its own page titles for your site if yours are not good enough.

So Google have finally thrown away any sense of fair play they might have kept, and are now looking to allow people to pay them for top natural listings! It is a sad day for consumer rights, as those with the deepest pockets, look set to buy the top spots without the average guy on the street knowing.

More and more people are seeing their page count in Google drop like a stone. What is causing it and how can it be corrected? read on.

Google’s broad match is useful if utilised correctly however the introduction a few years back of the expanded broad match was about on par with having a teenage daughter with a mobile phone on contract instead of prepay! .. in that if you didn’t regularly keep an eye on it you are in some pain [...]

It’s been a while since my last post, We’ve been busy rolling out new features to BrandWatcher, expanding our Pay Per Click services and Free Adwords Health Check has been very busy too, and in addition to that basically I’ve been spending more time relaxing once work is done for the day so blogging hasn’t [...]
