Google has rolled out CPC and CTC advertising, Apple is getting into mobile advertising, The Amazon Kindle showed how mobile enabled pad computing could sell.  And over the weekend I was hit over the head with why Mobile Performance Marketing Affiliates will win big.
And no, it’s not because of all the mobile networks (but it [...]

Okay, so my head is all wrapped around my recent post where I fleshed out the need to redefine ourselves from Affiliates to Performance Marketers.  And in writing that post I was interrupted by news about some of the Affiliate Tax efforts happening in some states.  And it came to me that this may be [...]

I’ve been waiting for this to happen.  When the first US Mobile Web affiliate network would open their doors.  And now it has officially happened.  OfferMobi announced their US rollout at AdTech this week.
They’re cranking up their US effort modestly.  About 50 international offers to get things started.   This new network is focused exclusively on [...]

I spotted a posting from a Facebook friend (who works for a network) about how Affiliates have no Loyalty any longer.  And the little chat between a few of us commenting got quite heated.  It simply boiled down to this:

In an article at SearchEngineLand they’ve quoted the UK Amazon letter ending [...]

We all know the role of the Affiliate Manager…  [...]

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 [...]
