Affiliate Marketing Mistakes:  Confuse & Conquer Will NEVER Work

I don't get it…and it will NEVER work - you will NEVER make money with this sort of monetization strategy and it amazes me how prevelant this sort of shallow thinking really is. It honestly makes me angry.  If I wasn't taking my medication everyday, i'd probaby head butt the wall out a sense of futile frustration.   Fill up every available pixel with something shiny and people break out their wallets and high tail it to the affiliate offer?

How to Test Your Landing Page Conversions for FREE while Everyone Else Pays Through the Nose

I want to thank everyone who has sent nice emails over the last couple days, especially those who have said the Craigslist stuff has helped them make real money…which I love to hear.  I've also gotten some great questions about the article marketing examples I've posted, including I dare say, a phone call or two with a pretty active SEO who was phenomenally nice and gracious…but, who said he never uses them for his own ( fairly significant) client campaigns, which I frankly don't understand.   Testing is the lifeblood of all internet marketing momentum, and short of dropping some serious coin on PPC, I know of NO other way of generating a boatload of backsides to your offer reasonably quickly, and testing the responsiveness with hard core, real time results.

A LaunchPad For Your Great Ideas

For those of us who are ADDDICTED to registering domain names for all of those 4am lightbulb moments, only to find yourself accumulating unused registered domains in your registrar account portfoliio…this is an idea I absolutely love.  Ian - from themeshaper ( gotta love a guy with a great name..;-) has released a beautiful "landing page" for your next great bright idea that ain't quite ready to see the bright light of the main marquee.  And of course, it stops your web host/registrar from running those pesky contexual ads all over your undeveloped virutal real estate while you get your ideas, and ass, in gear.  It's totally free, looks great, can be configured for a feedburner notification within the template which is great for product launches - you can very simply send people over to the site, have them sign up for a pre-notification on a special service, offer or widget…allowing you to build a readership, without even building a blog.  Actually, for those of us busting our rear ends trying to accomplish the same…it almost doesn't seem fair..

Short of actually taking the time and setting and configuring your Wordpress blogs the right way ( with content) this is a brilliant and aesthetically pleasing way of letting folks know - stuff is coming soon, and building some anticipation quite easily for it before it does.  And not only does it look a whole hell of a lot better than most other landing pages you might construct for similar purposes…it's free to boot and can be set up in less time than it took me to post this.  ( 4 minutes and 32 seconds - but I've been drinking since around noon which always slows me down)
