    [AMA] $25m+ in affiliate mktg revenue & exiting the game: Ask me anything.

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Haha, yeah the Am's loved it at the time, there was even one or two networks who just ripped the whole thing and branded it as their own. Nice to hear it helped you anyway! Good thread btw and I certainly understand where you're coming from about being burned out by AM and wanting to get away...

    +1 for doing it in the .htaccess file like chris_willow said, here's what I use: ## EXPIRES CACHING ## <IfModule mod_expires.c> ExpiresActive On ExpiresByType image/jpg "access 1 year" ExpiresByType image/jpeg "access 1 year" ExpiresByType image/gif "access 1 year" ExpiresByType image/png...

    Here is enough html to get you started, very simple just using anchors, no lists or any complications :) Each question is linked to the answer, and after each answer there is a link back to the list of questions with a nice little html 'up' arrow. It should allow you to see how it works, and...

    Has Anyone Used StumbleUpon For Traffic?

    MARKETING 
    I've used their paid service quite a bit. Ad platform isn't the greatest, targeting isn't the greatest, traffic is cheap and not great quality [you're basically paying CPV]. Lots of volume. I've promoted both product and content landing pages and video, I had one humorous lander go a bit viral...

    Why is this happening?

    MARKETING 
    Much too small a sample to make any kind of judgement on, but are visitors getting what they're expecting on a page load? Have you bid a lot less to try to stop mobile traffic as its now bundled in adwords? (mobile traffic will typically behave like your example above due to miss-clicks on ads...

    Let's talk about Twitter & marketing

    MARKETING 
    Ahh ok well if they're doing it for you as a free 'value add' or whatever then by all means take it :) I wouldn't pay for tweets if it comes down to it, but if its free nothing to lose and a reasonable test of twitter traffic from your end.

    Facebook Advertising - Is this normal?

    MARKETING 
    This is pretty normal given the traffic is Philippines - Thai, Indonesian, Indian traffic will perform similarly. There's boatloads of it, and its dirt cheap as there is very little competition, and the bids are low. It's very difficult to monetize these markets, but you can use the cheap...

    Is there any way to track this?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Probably bots, and maybe bots looking for forms to use as spam relays. Use a better contact form that makes name/email (at a minimum) fields required so the form cannot be submitted blank, maybe even implement captcha if the problem persists. This kind of thing, for example: Email Form - Simple...

    Facebook Advertising - Is this normal?

    MARKETING 
    Np, happy to help. I did years as an affiliate and now function as a 1 man in-house media buyer for a large brand so all I do all day (ish) is sit inside ad platforms like Facebook! ;)

    Let's talk about Twitter & marketing

    MARKETING 
    I'll second everything Gravytrain said above, I get a lot of requests at my job to do ads on Twitter but always resist - if you're actually trying to sell anything, get signups etc the traffic is garbage. I got access to their self serve ad platform a while back and used it once for about 2...

    Facebook Advertising - Is this normal?

    MARKETING 
    Newsfeed ads will have huge CTR's compared to what everyone is used to on display/FB sidebar - 5-8% is pretty common as the average user doesn't realise its an ad. Paying a $5-$10CPM isn't expensive when you're doing that kind of CTR. Set up through the power editor and then you can test...

    Need help adding banners to my rotating banner

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    That's better, at least I can figure out how to buy when I get there now :D Maybe instead of "Benefits" say something like "How ProGripz Make YOU a Better Gamer!" Use your headlines to draw the visitor into reading the rest of your copy, and click through to the product page. For the sake of...

    Need help adding banners to my rotating banner

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Don't have it rotate/slide, static/simple as it is now will work better from the POV of actually selling anything. I'd make better use of the current image, and actually make it clickable - add a nice big call to action. It's the first thing a visitor sees, so make proper use of it and link it...

    Ultimate Bootstrap: I'm making $200,000+ doing Residential Sales

    HOT! 
    Nice! Wonder if you have any opportunity to scale or streamline this a bit by generating leads online - in theory at least, one of your sales guys phoning a [by definition, interested] lead should be able to convert sales a lot more, or at the least book appointments for the guys on the ground...

    Advertising Rate??? For Large Client

    Install DFP and learn how to use it - its free, and will allow you to set up campaigns for advertisers such as this, sell by impressions, clicks, geo, and backfill with adsense. Its also way better than openx as an adserver. Sell them your inventory based on a CPM [cost per 1000 impressions]...

    Eskil's Progress Thread: Starting a Supplement Business from Scratch

    EXECUTION 
    For sure worth building LP's/path responsive these days, especially since adwords is retiring the ability to target devices specifically (its probably just about happened now fully I think). Facebook is high % of mobile traffic as well if you're thinking of going there, but you can at least...

    My 30k Affiliate Mistake

    I've run on CJ, Linkshare and SAS as an advertiser and they're absolutely full of potential fraudsters - there is just no screening process on the network side [unlike most CPA networks but even they're not immune] so its totally down to the advertiser [you] to weed people out. On any nw like...

    $500k Patek Phillip Watches

    OFF-TOPIC 
    That's one of the reasons I went with the Panny. I wanted something I could wear every day and to the office without people knowing what it was. I think in the last 2 years since I bought it, maybe 2-3 times someone remarked on it. (PAM00161, I liked the titanium and wanted an auto as I'd always...

    $500k Patek Phillip Watches

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Patek make beautiful watches. Fan of Breguet and IWC as well. One day... I settled on a Panerai GMT a couple of years back for the fact its not flashy, doesn't attract attention and no one knows what it is (like they would a Rolex) so they don't judge you or make assumptions. I like subtle...
