Google Adsense

I just found out (late I know) that google announced that their profits from adsense made $1.68 Billion last quarter, which if you imagine is a phenomenal amount of dosh, it just proves how much of a dominance google have in the marketing and how ‘perfect’ their revenue channel has become as a system, on [...]

Affilistore

As you’ll have read I’m a big fan of working at speed, my girlfriend often thinks my hands are on fire because of the speed that i type (amongst other things!) and I’ve been banned from drinking coffee at the office before by some old colleagues as I’m wired enough already. Speed and efficency that [...]

Just started reading…

After being at my new job for a week, i’ve decided the main skill i’m lacking is in analysis, planning and report, which basically boils down to understanding and being able to put together accurate forecasts, and be able to provide accurate clearly justifiable plans and reports, whilst i’m certainly no genius at this, i’m [...]

New job learnings

When i was at my previous job, i thought i really know what affiliate management was, it seemed simple enough, but i soon realized i’d learned all i could, not least because I was pratically the only one who even know what affiliate marketing was, let alone what it takes to fully manage a portfolio [...]

Books on Affiliate marketing

I thought I’d share a list of books, using easy content unit that I’ve either read or have the intention of reading, yes these are affiliate links and the books are mostly from Amazon, I thought I’d share them, and if it pleases you, please feel free to aid a fellow affiliate in earning some [...]

Amazon is doing well too with 10 sales recognized totalling £5.70, however Affiliate Window seems to have stalled with no commissions so far, same goes for Linkshare, Skimlinks is showing £0.19 so far so [...]
