Commission Junction Review

I have been planning on reviewing my first 2 months at Commission Junction for a while so I guess now is as good of a time as any. Commission Junction is the big boy on the block when it comes to affiliate marketing. They have a very large selection of advertisers and an excellent [...]

Search Engines and Meta Tags

Every few days I see a new thread posted on the various webmaster forums I frequent asking how important meta tags are to search engines. Here is a quote from Matt Cutt’s interview with John Battelle’s Searchblog.
We’ve seen the whole tagging idea in Web 1.0 when they were called meta tags, and some people [...]

I must have ADD

One of the sites I have been anxiously waiting for Google to index finally made it in this weekend. It is pretty nice to finally show up. So how am I gonna celebrate? I am gonna rip it down and start over. Isn’t that the norm?

If I had a coder and designer

I would change my name to Dr. Evil and take over the world. Then I would buy the internet and sell it back to it’s glorious creator Al Gore. Is there a sarcasm button around here?

Azoogle and Ringtones

Azzogle affiliates got a pretty good explanation from from Azoogle about the recent Ringtone changes.  I had a feeling they were under the gun when they made the quick changes.  The changes didn’t effect any of my arbitrage anyway because I am using negative keywords for free anyway. People who search for free don’t buy [...]

Gee thanks Azoogle!

My ringtone conversions doubled since Azoogle implemented the content changes Friday.  Keep on changing!
In some other news,  I am running some ads on a sports forum now.  The ads have been up for about two weeks. I have been very underwhelmed by the click rates from the site but the few ads that have converted [...]

I am gonna let you in on a secret

I have cracked the super secret Adcenter and Adwords algorithms and I now know how they determine which ads to approve and which ones they reject. Are you ready for this? Do you have a pen and paper ready?
They have a blind monkey throwing shit at dart board. If the shit hits [...]
