I've just posted a few IM case studies at Which Ad Performed Best? Online Advertising Case Studies (with more to come). Also created a video on optimizing campaigns with Excel: Using Pivot Tables To Analyze Mobile Campaigns This project is still a work in progress, and I'm interested in...

I have a website which is almost finished being developed. What browsers/versions/resolutions should I test in? I visited BrowserShots.org which has a ton of browsers that I've never heard of, and which I'm sure 0.000001% of the population uses. I'm not concerned about those. I just want my...

I don't send traffic to flogs or farticles for ethical reasons, but I have recently been sending traffic to a (non-fake) blog and my CTR on the blog is just below 5% which strikes me as very low. I'd like to know how that compares to a typical flog or farticle... can anyone let me know? Thanks.

If you've been successful with AM and have more cash sitting around than you are able to spend on buying more traffic, what do you do with that cash? I know that I can make a steady 12-15% passive annual ROI investing in private mortgages (been doing it for years). I'm considering doing some...

I'm in Canada, and here we use metric measurement (meters, centimeters...) for most things, but when referring to the height of a person we always use feet and inches. I"m not sure why, but that's the way it is. What units do you guys usually use in the UK for measuring human height?

I have P202 installed on a shared hosting account for which I pay less than $10 per month. I regularly have days where I'm doing 5k to 10k clicks per day and am having no problems so far. My hosting account stats say that I'm using only 1% of my available bandwidth (I'm using just over 1 gig...

My ad server does not have a cloaking option like P202 does. I realize that ad servers weren't designed for affiliates so this is not surprising, but I'm wondering how the rest of you deal with that. Are there ad servers out there that do cloak? I could send traffic from my ad server through...

I'm thinking of getting a Compete.com Pro account to access their data. The main value I can see is their "referral analytics" which lets you see which sites have sent traffic to any site you choose. For free you can see the top 5 referral sites, but I want the full list - could be useful for...

A few months ago there was an affiliate network that advertised on WF and they did exclusively dating offers. Can anyone tell me their URL? Thanks.

I live in Canada. I'm getting screwed by constantly exchanging between $CAD and $USD, and I also need to incorporate. I'm currently with CIBC who can't give me what I want so I need to switch my banking & CC to elsewhere. This week I met with people at all 5 banks. Here is what I learned -...

1) When using a Double Meta Refresh, what is it about the process that blanks the referrer? Is it simply the fact that you're doing a refresh - does a refresh always blank the referrer? (I can't see anything else in the code that means "blank the referrer") 2) The way I understand it, a...

On the Google Content Network, I have an ad group that was getting a lot of impressions for a few days, but then stopped getting impressions, presumably due to a low CTR. I want to test new ads that will hopefully get a higher CTR and therefore ongoing impressions. If I put these new ads in...

I've been trying to educate myself about cloaking. Can anyone confirm that my understanding is correct, or point out any problems with the following: Based on my understanding, the reasons why one might want to cloak are: 1) So AM’s don’t see what keywords you’re bidding on 2) So AM’s don’t...
