November 23rd, 2012 | 3 comments

When I first got into affiliate marketing I would always concentrate on increasing traffic (build a bigger list, get higher rankings etc.) I had a one-track mind and the only thing that made me happy was more eyeballs on my affiliate promos, whether they were promos to my email lists, traffic to affiliates sites or [...]

October 8th, 2010 | 58 comments

The short answer to that question is yes. And if you’ve been doing the product review thing for affiliate profits for a while this post will be pretty basic to you.

September 20th, 2010 | 39 comments

In my last post I mentioned the fact that I’m about to start a new Indianapolis Internet Marketing Company for Small Businesses.

The Death of ClickBank

January 29th, 2008 | 31 comments

(UPDATE: This post is aged and I’ll admit, I was off base here. These issues will not ruin them because most of CB’s sales come from non-Internet marketing products and these problems don’t exist in markets where the customers (non-IM) aren’t familiar with the policies.
