    ShopGPSDeals.com Website

    Up for sale is ShopGPSDeals.com. I built this site to be an ebay affiliate, after they stopped taking new US affiliates. I still think this is a good strategy if you already have an eBay affiliate account or you could switch to Amazon. The site is powered by Wordpress and a custom eBay plugin I...

    Turned down by EPN

    I decided to try out a PHPBay-style ebay affiliate site, get everything in order and looking pretty good, only to be turned down. Is ebay trying to crack down on this type of site? Looking at my analytics, I can't even see that someone at ebay ever even visited my site. I'm from the US and I've...

    Interesting Domain Strategy

    I registered a handful of keyword rich .infos that aren't good domains, planning on using them for MFA sites back when that was popular and .infos were going for $2. I let the domains expire, but I'm getting emails from someone offering to sell me the .COM versions for $195. It's obvious they...

    Digital Point is Spamming Me

    I signed up for a DP forum account, who knows when and why, but I recently discovered they seem to have sold my email address. I know because I use a different email address for everything I signup to and when I get email to digitalpoint@mydomain, its pretty obvious who is responsible. We are...

    Click Arbitrage

    When this forum launched it was THE arbitrage forum. I never got into it, but now when I click "new posts" I rarely see arbitrage topics. Anyhow, I just bought a bunch of solid $1 .info domains from GoDaddy and I'm going to test out Adwords to Adsense arbitrage. All of my topics are B2B or...

    171 Clicks/61 Clicks, 1 Conversion

    I setup a simple ringtone promo through Azoogle using adwords to basically get a feel for promoting affiliate offers. After spending ~$8 at ~20cent clicks (minimum bid) and sending 30 clicks to Azoogle, I made one sale. Now, my CTR from my landing page has plummeted, as I have sent 170 clicks to...

    AdSense Keywords on MFA Pages

    I'm having the hardest time trying to get my adsense ads to display the right type of ads. I tweak the subdomain, folder, filename, title, and text, but I can't get it perfect. The market my site is for has plenty of advertisers, so I know the ads are out there and what the keywords are...

    What was your first affiliate offer? Mine was the Evidence-Eliminator software. Put up some banners and a review on my software resource site. This was probably 6 or so years ago and it made me a few hundred.

    Stupid Manual Form Spammers

    I have protected my web forms from automated spam bots with a few Javascript tricks, but I am still getting some spam. In one case, it's not even possible to get to the form without using a web browser (Javascript window). This means that some poor idiot is manually browsing the web and...

    Jon's Investor and Partner

    I noticed on your blog that you have an investor and a partner and I have just a couple questions that shouldn't be confidential or proprietary or anything, just curiosity. Why do you need an investor? It sounds as if you only run content sites, which aren't usually capital intensive. Where is...
