Greetings All,
I know that this has been in testing since 2007 but I’ve been seeing it more & more often recently.
What happens is that you search for a product & when the results are displayed you see the normal adwords ads, but one of them (this can be above the results or on the right hand side) will have a hidden div & the text “Show products from RETAILER for SEARCHTERM” it might look like this (at the top):-

Greetings All,
Unfortunately, I’ve been completely snowed under at work recently & have been neglecting this blog.
I have a list of things I want to write about but haven’t yet managed to….
Here’s the list :- Continue reading
Here’s a productivity boosting video from Perry – it’s only about 5 minutes long & is certainly worth watching. If you’re in the UK, you can Continue reading
Greetings All,
Any twitterers out there may have seen some twitter based competitions, @johnchow & @shoemoney are a couple that spring to mind.
It’s an interesting idea – basically to enter you need to follow them on twitter & send a tweet to all your followers that you’ve entered by following them & Continue reading
Greetings All,
You may remember, I posted an SEO friendly theme for wordpress a while ago. I’ve been using it for this blog in all it’s ugly unstyled glory since then & I’ve spotted some interesting results. I posted about Spotify Registration being opened up to UK users the other day & almost instantly I found myself in the number one spot on google for spotify registration. That’s quite impressive given that I have no pagerank & pretty much no backlinks! Now if only they had an affiliate scheme….
TTFN
BFG
Greetings All,
I’m fairly pissed off today.
We’ve always done very well in natural search on google (well, at least since a couple of weeks after launch).
Today however, we’ve noticed that natural traffic has slowed to a crawl. I had a quick look around & although we do very well for some terms (command strips, mpro 110 for example) some of the terms we used to rank very highly for seem to have taken a beating. We used to fluctuate between 1st, 2nd & third for 3m, now we’re on page 2. We used to be around 7th or 8th for computer accessories, now we’re nowhere to be seen.
I dug into webmaster tools to see if I could see what was happening & Continue reading
Well, are you? Firebox have recently launched the ‘ Mystery Box ‘.
They’re available in 3 sizes – Standard (£14.99), Deluxe (£19.95) & Super Deluxe (£29.95).
They’re also available in both ‘for him’ & ‘for her’ flavours.
You’ll save upto £15.00 on the normal value of the contents (all currently available on the site seperately at full price).
And…… If you buy before christmas – you might just find the keys to a £1000 Ego Electric Street Scoota in your box
I got an email last night asking me to accept Quidco’s Sureshop Agreement.
In a nutshell, the agreement is that I will resolve any queries within 30 days of them being raised or they will auto-approve. Now I don’t have an issue with the 30 day timeframe, but it did make me think about whether or not cashback sites in general add any value. Continue reading
Greetings all,
I had an issue the other day with sales appearing in the network account that I knew shouldn’t have been tracked.
The majority of these sales were staff members & a few were trade (account) orders that the telesales staff had keyed manually onto the site.
I investigated this further & discovered that the network was using the IP Address to track the sale.
With my affiliate hat on, this is all well & good, as it’s likely to minimise leakage, however once I delve a little deeper, it’s just plain wrong. Continue reading
