    I won the 1st free conference pass to Affiliate Summit in Las Vegas

    Now I feel rather guilty for not having been around the forum much in recent months :) Thanks for the kind words from everyone - I shall remind myself to try and visit more often, but much has been happening here of late and keeping me away. Glad you decided to become a forum member...

    Ad Blockers Could Face Legal Action?

    Good post Linda and absolutely true, been blogging about this whole hoohah myself. I use advertising like millions of others but I always try not to be too intrusive and let my blog readers choose if they want to view them. The desire for adblocking tools has arisen for the same reason that...

    Affiliate codes in RSS feeds?

    Hi You will need to be a little more specific. I'm guessing that your question relates to a third party's feed that you have placed on your own site (I checked both places listed in your sig but couldn't see anything obvious). Is the feed from an affiliate program of which you are a member...

    Need Advice on Datafeeds

    Phew - I'm certainly glad I pulled Carsten in on that one :) I realized that the original question was not really answered at your site, but you still have one of the most comprehensive and understandable resources out there on the whole subject. Sorry I created so much work for you! Thanks...

    Need Advice on Datafeeds

    If you haven't done so already (I think there is already a link somewhere on these forums) pay a visit to Carsten Cumbrowski's pages dealing with data feeds. Lots of useful information and resources to be found there no matter what your level of experience. Mo

    PC World Magazine Covers Affiliate Marketing & PopShops

    Interesting post thanks Linda. Funnily enough I just gave Popshops a plug at my blog too. It's certainly a really simple way to start playing with data feeds and it takes literally a few minutes to create a Popshop and add it to an existing site. The free membership is worth trying for any...

    Questions on Web development software and hosting

    Hi again Jenn OK, I'll try and take some of this on.... 1) Alexa traffic stats are not really very reliable as they measure only visits by users who have the Alexa toolbar installed. As the toolbar only used to be available for IE (although a FF version has recently been introduced) the...

    Questions on Web development software and hosting

    Hi Jenn I completely concur with Linda's advice and Larwee's references regarding hosting. If you are anticipating hosting a forum, and see it taking off, cheap hosting will end up being a nightmare in all probability. Web Hosting Talk is always a good place to do some research and get...

    Affiliate links in blogs

    Hi Daniel You're welcome. Think of commenting this way - are you adding something useful to the conversation by way of reaction or information? Just typing something inane like "Great Site, thanks - my blog has information about XYZ" followed by a URL, will see you deleted from most well run...

    Affiliate links in blogs

    Hi Daniel, With bloggers and forum owners fighting constant battles against spam comments and people trying to "sneak" affiliate links into comments and posts, it is basically seen as very poor form to do it. However, if you are ever tempted to push a link in either a blog or a forum you...

    what are the best forums for affiliate marketing??

    :eek: What? You mean there are others?......Well I'll be ;) Seriously though, I used to read a couple of others but this is the best moderated (thanks Larry) and by far the most useful I have come across. As previous posters have already said, 5Star is very professionally run and there's...

    New Comment Outsourcing Service

    I'll keep my response short as between us we could drive 5Star to bankruptcy :p I wholeheartedly agree with what you say Teli, all good points and well made. As for me, I shall continue with no-nofollow because as you've already said, comment moderation is a blogger's best...

    New Comment Outsourcing Service

    Hi Teli Thanks for the update and the link, I've added you to my feed reader. As you say it's quite obvious from those examples that "quality" isn't an issue :rolleyes: As early critics observed, the clues should have been easily spotted by the site's awful grammar and spelling mistakes...

    IPO Blog

    Then again, it could be found by a Google snitch and the publisher could find his Adsense account disappearing into a black hole :eek: (For the record I don't condone snitching but these are just the sort of sites that get reported - made for Adsense junk sites with no real value...

    New Comment Outsourcing Service

    Yup, I came across this in my travels the other week and also blogged about it. It's definitely causing a stir, and my personal view is that it's a bad idea. At the same time I'm sure that there will be plenty of people willing to buy into it unfortunately. Comment spam is pretty easy to...

    Auto Generated Blog Content

    Thanks Teli, a good post. I should start by saying that I'm a huge fan of Really Simple Syndication. I think raising awareness of this aspect of the subject on here is a good move. I've recently been discussing RSS scraping on my blog and trying to give people an idea about acceptable and...
