1. cornea503 on Affiliate Link Cloakng
SIDs are a great way to track stuff. But the biggest issue I have with them is that CJ does not allow visibility into which SIDs are being clicked and not converting. I have had several instances where conversions stopped cold after implementing SIDs correctly. CJ appears to be tracking clicks correctly but conversions die. This makes it impossible to troubleshoot. So be careful when implementing them especially, when you insert SIDs dynamically. ›››

2. Adam Viener on Building a Professional Affiliate Site, Looking Back
Very good point, and I think you might be right. Remember my goal was to create a site with paid search landing pages that would get people to Rosetta Stone. The site is mostly defunct now. ›››

4. on Building a Professional Affiliate Site, Looking Back
Old post, but I still have to ask since I'm very new to the internet marketing world. How could you possibly think this kind of site could have a high conversion rate? It adds almost of value to the want to buy language software / want to sell language software transaction. Wouldn't taking a personal approach -- "how I learned spanish quickly and easily" -- make for a far more convincing (and higher converting) piece of internet real estate? ›››

5. uwspstar on Moving from CJ to Linkshare - Follow Up
I have signed up in both LinkShare and CJ. Here is something I thought: Looks like most of CJ merchants do not offer the RSS feed, I have sent bunch of emails to ask merchants about offering RSS data feed or CSV files, so far, only one merchant gave me the RSS feed link. The rest of merchants cannot offer RSS data feed. CJ teams should do more work for their publisher … By the way, looks like, a lot of merchants do not include item images in their RSS data feed. It is really easy to include a ›››

10. College Textbooks on 5 Easy Steps for Building a Professional Affiliate Site
Hi Adam, I stumbled across this page on setting up an affiliate site. Your site looks really professional. Thanks for the great tips. How have conversions been since the new updates on http://goyami.corante.com/archives/2006/11/16/building_a_professional_affiliate_site_looking_back.php I noticed that "chineseso.com" was no longer used to redirect. Has the language translation increased conversions a lot? Does having google ads decrease conversions? Thanks Again for the Great Info, Joe ›››

So how did you get on with your Sitepoint auction? I tried selling something on there once and didn't get any bids so found it a bit dissapointing. I'd be interested to hear how you got on. Also in the 2 years since you wrote this post do you think things have moved on at all in this market? ›››

18. Hotel web design on LeReve at the Wynn Hotel in Las Vegas - Surprisingly Great!
I noticed last month that the elevator area for Mandalay has been renovated, though only on the casino floor. The new look has that silver and dark woods look that I'd normally complain about as being overdone, but since THEhotel is right nearby and basically established this look on the Strip, you can't argue too much about it's use here. Anyway, since the basement/beach/pool level still has the old lobbies, I was able to make some comparison shots. ›››

29. anonymous on Lead Generation, the next Frontier of Affiliate Marketing?
I tried selling leads on leadpoint and it did not work out for me. Average selling price was $35. I sold several leads multiple times but after 1 or 2 days on leads resold I only received $1 per lead. So I was averaging $36 per lead. Crazy that they dropped the price so far so fast. ›››

Kris, I apprecate your comment. The paid review you submitted in ReviewMe, actually asked for a review of the home page, so I have my honest first looks. I would still be interested to learn more about your affiliate tracking software, but that still isn't an active link on your site. Details would be great. Adam ›››

This post does not appear to represent that level of analysis, which to me is misleading to your readers.

40. Anonymous on Lead Generation, the next Frontier of Affiliate Marketing?
Leadpoint and Lending Tree are both marketplaces as well as Leadpile. The difference here is that Leadpile does not resell the leads but allows the advertisers to set up their price point of comfort zone that they will get per lead. It makes it a Great marketplace for buyers and sellers. ›››

I don't think Schoolpop is wrapped up with Amazon. It looks like SchoolPop has been ultimately acquired by Linkshare's parent company Rakuten USA. http://www.revenews.com/adamviener/2007/09/linkshares_parent_company_acqu.html School pop was woned by CauseLoyalty.com prior to the aquisition, and I beieve I read somewhere that Vesdia was managing the site for a while.

SchoolPop has re organized and has tied up w/ Amazon.com. They now have exclusive rights with them, which proved that the non traditional fundraising org has moved on and established itself from the bankruptcy 2yrs ago. I firmly believe that when SchoolPop re organized, the company who brought the org purchased their assets and made sure that all debts are paid. ›››
