A product/service that I won’t name has a video on their sales page claiming that over 300% of affiliate commissions are stolen.
…huh?
I can only guess that they mean that for every $1 in commissions earned, $3 of commissions that should have been earned aren’t. Uh, guys, that’s 75%. If 300% was getting stolen, that’d mean…what, […]

I sent out Grouper Evolution version 1.6.3 yesterday. I’d been working on a much more ambitious upgrade, but decided that it was important to get a few of the improvements out now.
The most visible and important change is an overhaul of the Shopping.com affiliate plugin. The original plugin was based on data sent to me […]

How’s that for a headline? I’m trying out a new sales page for Fast JV with a little more…”spice”, shall we say?
Perhaps you’ve heard of the “AIDA” model of selling, where you first try to grab Attention, then inspire Interest, next arouse Desire, and finally provoke to Action. One popular technique for catching a person’s […]

John Reese announced a new service today that concerned me a little…because it’s very similar to a project I’ve been working on for a few months. It looks like the future of link exchanges is the exchange of links and content. Here’s an overview of what I’ve been working on:

Aloha Michael! I tried contacting you through your help desk system, but the registration confirmation email never reached my mail server, so I’ll post here instead.
First of all, congratulations on your wedding! Your first-ever surfing attempt photo looks much better than one of my first attempt would have been. The wetsuit I was wearing was […]

I released a new product today named “Fast JV” that makes it incredibly easy for any ClickBank affiliate to create promotional bundles of ClickBank products and attach bonus products to them without having to go through all the schmoozing that’s usually necessary to set up a joint venture.
I was hoping to sell it through ClickBank, […]

I just published my first ScreenCast (if you don’t see it, it’s because I’m split testing against the old version of that webpage, and you got the old one–sorry!) I checked out some Mac software first, but ditched it almost imediately–useless. I tried Wink next, but found it wholly unsuitable both for recording audio and […]

4/26/2007 Update: The price is now locked at $14.95. This for a DVD recording of a seminar on making your mailing lists more profitable. The original cost of admission was $997!
If I were you, I wouldn’t even take the time to finish reading the rest of this post! Seriously, if you want to get […]

I recently signed up for a test drive of BidFuel.com (which I cancelled during the free period–it didn’t look useful enough). Since then, I’ve started receiving spam at the email address I gave them–an email address I created uniquely for them. No one else has ever seen that email address. I recommend not signing up […]

One of my brothers and I are opening a new website, Free Home Shop, to the public tomorrow. A few weeks ago, while looking for good places on my other sites to link to it from, I asked another brother if we could link from his title insurance website. His response surprised me–title insuance companies […]
