    WTF is RewardHits?

    I was just looking at one of my sites in Google Webmaster Tools, the page that lists all the external links to pages on your site. I'm seeing that one of my landing pages for an affiliate offer, which I've only ever linked to from another of my sites, has a whole whack of "external links" to it...

    Bob greene copeac offer: no more ppc

    FYI, if you're running the Bob Greene diet offer through Copeac, like I *was*, they just announced a ban on search/ppc traffic. Dammit, I was actually converting on that one. Edit: Update, they just clarified that you *can* run ppc, just not directly to the merchant.

    Here's an adult niche idea for someone...

    Telus is one of the wireless providers here in Canada. Recently they made news because they started to offer porn to download directly to subscriber's cell phones. Now they've killed it due to religious and customer pressure. Apparently they were offering photos and videos at $3 to $4 each...

    Damn antivirus makers

    Why do they make it part of their mission to stop advertising? Just saw this in my Avira Antivirus update window, thought their "english" was pretty amusing: "World Wide Web - the final frontier. There are advertising Pop ups, as far as the eye can see. Banish annoying advertisement...

    Time of day for conversions

    When do you get most of your conversions? Most of mine seem to happen in the early-mid morning, and then nothing for the rest of the day. This is in Canada/US targetting campaigns. Just seems kind of funny.

    Is content network considered contextual or search?

    When running ads on Adwords content network, is that considered to be search or contextual from the point of view of the affiliate networks? And if I link directly to an affiliate merchant from an adwords content ad, does the merchant see what site it came from, or do they just see that it was...

    Affiliate marketing with fake forum posts

    Anyone tried this? I was thinking of creating a landing page which looks like a discussion forum page, consisting of a made-up discussion of the merits of an aff product, and a recommendation from a couple of (fake) users, which would include (of course) an affiliate link to buy the product. I...

    How do you take notes?

    I keep thinking I should get a big-ass whiteboard to stick on my wall to make notes, reminders, and keep track of brain-farts. I know I could do it on the computer, but I think it would be more effective staring at me from the wall all the time. What do you guys use?
