If I still blogged, this would be a blog post, but I dont so... Recently I have had quite a few conversations with people at different levels of the affiliate industry and it shocks me how little many of them understand the businesses they are representing and how they are focused on only their...

Ad:Tech SF starts tomorrow. Just wanted to see who was going and maybe try and meet a few WF'ers if my schedule allows. I am not a huge fan of conferences, but I usually enjoy ad:tech, mostly because people are there to get shit done instead of party their ass off. (not that you cannot do that...

Just curious what some of the bigger AdWords advertisers (7 figures plus) got from the big G this holiday season. I think Google itself would be shocked at what it sent us.

By now, I guess most people have heard of guys doing the Google takeover where they have every single ad on a page for Ringtones etc. People wonder how the guy is doing it and I think I have a line on it. Setting up a Google account is pretty straightforward and can probably be scripted. Using...

Anyone have any experience registering .CA domains outside of Canada? This makes it seem like starting a Canadian Corporation might be the way to go. This is just for a test and I dont want to drop a few grand hiring lawyers etc just for a test. Anyone know of a way to get these registered...

Hey guys, something happened over the weekend that really disturbed me about the affiliate marketing industry that compelled me to blog about it. So I re-activated my blog (in signature) for the time being. Not sure if I am going to be a regular blogger again, but thought I would let people...

Hey I am putting together a list of major brand name retailers with affiliate programs for a speaking engagement. I don't do any retail, but I got tasked with talking about this.... So far my list is Amazon, Ebay, Wal-Mart, Cirtcuit City, CompUSA.... What have I forgotten....they dont have to...

Oh Pretty please, put a Doobie in Nancy Pelosi's mouth.... This is on front page of Drudge Report and I think it looks like she is doing what Bill Clinton said he never did.

Just because I am tired of the same question every single day from people who heard about some guy making big money online and figured they could too... This is not easy. There is not a magic formula. It takes hard work, risk taking, knowledge, intelligence and frankly a little bit of luck. If...

Hey guys - Thanks for all the PM's and IM's and Emails about my blog. I have decided to close the blog for the time being. It was a huge time sink for which I did not receive any value in return. The original intent of the blog was to be a place for me to record thoughts etc. I never...

We think Video Ads are likely to be the next big thing. we have shot some really funny commercials highlighting a different website and want to see if we can build a brand in one of our niches. Here is the problem... We have yet to find an efficient way to put video ads anywhere on the net...

Lets make good posts and reputation mean something. Recently there is a new asshat hijacking tons of threads. It is not that he is being confrontational (which he is) it is that he is just talking shit and not adding anything at all meaningful. I dont really care to read his shit. I want to...

I have a fairly complicated and ambitious project that has just been green lighted by an investment group I am a part of. It is an online community that requires many complicated levels of programming, web design, database, and other skills that we are not well suited for. I am looking for a...

Does anyone market Debt Consolidation? We used to be in this business, but left a very long time ago. It turns out that some of our legacy pages have amazing rankings for some high volume terms. We are on the front page of Google (top 3 on a few) for some very high volume terms. Currently we...

Just got the go ahead from the wife to attend this event and went to register, but it is sold out. Anyone have an exhibit floor pass they are willing to sell?
