2 Comments

To start off with, tracking does break.  It happens.  It’s happened on programs that I’ve run and a long time ago (in a galaxy far, far away) I even managed to break some buy.at tracking as a developer. So the question that we have to ask ourselves is if enough is done to check tracking [...]

A Shining example of Internet Marketing – US TV

2 Comments

I often wonder why the marketing and technology teams behind UK TV stations seem to be so bad.  Channel 4 become the first UK TV station to launch a system that lets you watch the latest TV episodes online (although the BBC have been testing a similar service for the past 4 years).  The site [...]

2 Comments

I’ve recently become involved in an email conversation with a merchant who is having a few problems getting Affiliates signed up and promoting his site.  Aside from the fact that the program is an independent one (and trust needs to be built up for these to succeed), one of the biggest issues he had with [...]

Affilistore Site – First Sale

6 Comments

If you are a regular reader than you may remember my review of AffiliStore 1.0 on the 12th February. I’ve not touched that site since (despite promosing I’d do more with it) but yesterday I received my first commission of £1.30. So exactly one week after the site was created it was indexed on google [...]

I liked linkedin – I’ve “connected” with some people I used to work with but the fact that you need someones operational email address can be a bit of a pain. Today I found the fantastic Linkedin Fast Generator widget which you can see in it’s full glory in the left hand navigation of this [...]
