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.

Onsite SEO, was once seen as a real black art. But the simple truth is that a the few guidelines that make good onsite search engine optimisation have not changed since spiders first infested the web. The first key point is USE QUALITY CONTENT. This rule has never changed and if it is not obvious why [...]

First - what is ClickBank? Clickbank is a marketplace for virtual goods. The ebooks and software are marketed by high commissions (usually over 50% affiliate commission) but has attracted alot of rubbish. Recycled PLRs, resell right ebooks, affiliate systems, getrich systems and so on. Infact there is a high proportion of self serving affiliate programs on clickbank [...]

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, [...]

Dropbox is one (free) utility that I can’t get enough of, and have sung it’s praises over and over again. Having your important files sync with any other computer you choose, and making them availabile online so you can grab them from anywhere, anytime, has proved invaluable to me in the past especially when travelling. Whethers it’s [...]

My body’s got over the jet lag, but I’ve a feeling that my livers recuperation may take a little bit longer following the Affiliate Summit in Vegas last week. This was the second time I’ve headed over to the Summit and was surprised at how much it had grown and improved when compared to 2007. This [...]

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.

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 [...]

Here is some advice about Mistyped Domain Names, this is relevant to Affiliates, Merchants and Networks, in fact anyone who owns a website. Here Is Why You Should Be Interested Last week I typed in our favourite Affiliate Forums URL but used .co.uk instead of .com. Now I have Google Toolbar installed on IE (also happens in [...]

“Social media is all about the conversation”, I think that phrase started to rankle me around last July and I couldn’t figure out why. It’s something I have taught people in my training class for years, so it’s not like I haven’t agreed with it. Blog – people comment – you reply – they blog – [...]

There is a “PR & Social Media In Practice” on today. I noticed it in my twitter feed, #PRWSocial, which is fine. But then I went to Google and did the search thing and had to wade through a bunch of twitter nonsense before I could get to the meat, which was the offical PRWSocial page. Which [...]

One of the thigs to be lost was the blog theme that I had customized for this blog. I have therfore chosen this one as a tempoary basis until I can either re-create the last one or create a new one that does everything I need it to from this blog.

When it comes to affiliate marketing, I#8217;m as guilty as the next affiliate of devoting most of my time to promoting merchants on the bigger, more established networks. Affiliate Window, Tradedoubler, Affiliate Future and Buy.at benefit most from this inertia, not necessarily because they are the best at what they do, but because of [...]img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Entrepreneur/~4/6hzQCnsg9kY" height="1" width="1"/

Just a quick update on the progress of my forthcoming book, Get Out While You Can.

Are you one of those people that spends far too much time checking to see how many sales you#8217;ve made? Since the last time you checked five minutes ago?

For example, there was a time when I [...]img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Entrepreneur/~4/Ic2YCh39jWM" height="1" width="1"/

Welcome to Equator Blogs. This is your first post. Edit or delete it, then start blogging!

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 [...]

Following my recent post about the a4u alerts popup, I’m glad to say that the guys at affiliates4u have taken heed and removed the pop up for now. Result! Thanks to Chris and Pete at Existem for taking heed of our concerns and making an alteration. They are now asking for any further feedback people [...]

I think people have been complaining about it ever since it first cropped up. But it still appears everytime I log in to A4u and it is a waste of time clicking close each time. I just noticed that Nadeem agrees with me, so perhaps we can get something done? I won’t blog much about it, [...]

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 [...]

Have Google lost the plot with their latest attempt to 'develop' real time search results?

Anyone who has been around the web for a while will have seen the rise in Web2.0 style sites with user generated content. This concept is a superb arrangement for all parties as the site owner gets free content, and the writer gets a platform to air their views. Everything in the garden is rosy, [...]
