Someon got into my Affiliate Shop Demos

Saturday, March 29th, 2008

My aff-shop demos are temporarily down. Benny from geekblogger.net let me know that someone had gotten into my demos. They have been up for a month at least so why it went to install is beyond me. I just checked them last week.

Anyway, It’s a mess at the moment but the downloads are still available here.
I’ll get the demos back up in the next day or two.

Thanks to Benny at geekblogger.net for alerting me.
And Benny, Ignore that Nasty email I sent you through your site. I thought it was you at first but it was just a panic reaction.

Google taking Account Managers away from Affiliates?

Thursday, March 27th, 2008

google adwordsOn one of the forums I frequent I came across this post. Apparently Google is taking away account managers from affiliates.

While I certainly don’t spend enough to warrant one anyway, It’s still a little disturbing to me. With the “leaked” ranking guide and now this, it seems Google really has it in for affiliates.

Here is the gist of the post…

“This afternoon I got a rather disturbing phone call from my team manager at Google. As from April the 1st Google is changing their Account manager policies, and affiliates are not longer entitled to an account manager. Google is pulling back their account managers from all affiliate accounts. Doesn’t matter if you do direct linking or through comparison.

My team was in Dublin (Ireland) and I am spending about 20k USD a day.”

I don’t really use AdWords all that much. I spend a little but that’s it. It’s just a little scary to think that the Google has declared war on affiliates.

Guess it’s time to start concentrating on Yahoo!

Finally got a decent score on google

google quality score

I may have found my niche. This is the first time, after many failed campaigns that I’ve gotten this kind of score. It’s cheap and has a pretty good search volume which kind of surprised me considering it’s in the “fashion” niche.

Original content, they say. SEO, they say. Yeah right

Is it original, compelling content if you’re writing about the same thing as everyone else?
Sure you have your take but really. I think if I see one more blog post about ebay dumping Commission Junction, I’m gonna fucking puke!

There are really only a few blogs I read, since the so called “Supper Affiliate” blogs pretty much just make me sick. But like a few weeks ago, they were all posting about Jason Calacanis. Who the fuck is he anyway? Should I know? Well, I didn’t, don’t and still don’t care. He say’s I’m a spammer? Well I think he’s an asshole. Does that make it true? No!

Every day I go to these few blogs and when they have an update, it’s always on the same subject. Way to be original guys!

Oh, and thanks for all the helpful information too.

  • Find a niche, blah blah blah.
  • Get a domain, blah blah blah.
  • Keyword research, blah blah blah.
  • Post original content, blah blah blah.
  • SEO, blah blah blah.

Here’s a little analysis piece on one of the sites I visit….

Error: No description meta tag was found. The description meta tag is used by many search engines. Consider adding a description meta tag.

Warning
:
No keywords were found. The keyword meta tag is still used by some search engines. Consider adding a keyword meta tag to this page.

And you want to tell me how to SEO my site? No Thanks. I’d rather take singing lessons from Paris Hilton.

Does this post make any sense? Probably not. I’m tired and aggravated and sick of seeing the same crap over and over and over again.

Oh well ,I’m tired and going to bed, Good night, and stay tuned for more incoherent rantings.

Wordpress Affiliate Shop Downloads.

Tuesday, March 18th, 2008

I’ve been getting a lot of email lately from people asking where they can download my Wordpress Affiliate Shop themes. The answer at the time was, you can’t.
I’ve been sending them out as people email me asking for them but that’s not something I want to have to do every day.

So here is the page you can download them.
