How far we’ve come in 40 years.  In 1969 a hunk of highly engineered metal departed Florida and went the full 238857 miles with computing power roughly equivalent to a handheld calculator.  And at the same time (1969) ARPANET (the forerunner of the Internet) was established.
As we say goodbye to 2009 I walked outside and [...]

Last evening I had a long discussion with an AffSpot member that needed a little help.  This AffSpotter has been active for only a few months and was feeling a little overwhelmed with all the “do this”, “is hot now”, “do this”, “don’t do that”, advice from blogs, etc.
So, what does he do?  He digs [...]

Perfect is an unattainable goal, yet something to be strived for.  You’ve seen the guestblog about the Perfect Affiliate, and the Perfect Affiliate Network.  Now it’s time to put the Affiliate Program Managers on the “hotseat” and describe the traits we think makes a Perfect Affiliate Manager.
We all know the role of the Affiliate Manager…  [...]

The holiday season offers us all a special opportunity to extend our personal thanks to our friends, and our very best wishes for the future.
It has been a terrific year for AffSpot. As you know I extended my relationship with AffSpot from a host/administrator to the privledge and responsibility for AffSpot in it’s entirety.
So it [...]

Yesterdays reblog of “A Christmas Gift – The Perfect Affiliate” got me thinking about more “Perfect” wishes.  Today I’m thinking of the Perfect Affiliate Network.
Most of us have multiple Affiliate Network relationships.  Not every network has the best offer for every niche you fill.  Sometimes a Merchant you like may move from one network to [...]

I AffSpotted a blogpost today that got me to thinking…  “The Perfect Affiliate”…   I’m going to be like a congress member and reserve the right to “revise and extend” my remarks (watch out, “The Perfect Network”, “The Perfect OPM”, will be coming out the next couple days).  But LinkValu put something out today that’s very [...]

How many networks are there now?  At least a few thousand.  And a continuing trend we’ve been following is the propensity of networks built out of network affiliations.  What?  You got it.  There are Affiliate Networks that are nothing but a network who’s entire portfolio of offers are in reality nothing but that network being [...]

Oh what a web we weave…  Google has GAN, but integrates Blogger with the Amazon Associates Program.  Which when you think about it is a pretty good idea for both companies…  and for Affiliate Marketers.  With just a few clicks you can now put Amazon offerings on a blogger page.  And Google will know who’s [...]

As usual I’ve been looking at SEO while coding up some programatic goodies for AffSpot.  And the world is about to get very interesting indeed.  For example, the bruhaha over Google Realtime Results and Security.
In a USA Today Article Rae Hoffman expounds (quite accurately) that giving Twitter results in realtime could be a big security [...]

In the land of misfit experiments I wanted to see just how measurable results from the social web (Web2.0) were measurable.  The short answer…  not so much.
But in the words of the great Billy Mays – “But Wait, There’s More”
I took one of the local niche sites I built in the Building an Affiliate Marketing [...]
