Affiliate Fools Day
01 April 2008 – 10:54 amAffiliate Marketers do love their April Fools Jokes.
How many times did you get Rickrolled today? Too many, I’m sure.
April Fools day is completely out of control. People way ahead in the timezones have a major advantage. It’s just not fair.
And more and more, serious news is taking over. Non-jokes are the new April Fools jokes.
Watch the video…
Stuff I Talked about
Monkey C Affiliate Social Network
Sam Harrelson’s Big Idea Agency
eBay Partner Program - the new ebay partner program launched today, April 1st. I signed up and checked it out quickly. It really looks great. C

Are you wearing a shoemoney shirt? It def is April first. By the way, is it still getting rick rolled if you like the song?
Nice catch, Jim. Thanks for noticing!
The Monkey Network rocks. Did you see the gmail custom time? I thought that was good. I wonder if Google has a few hidden ones as the did with the directions to London last year.
Scott, is that an iMac behind you? My wife wants it but I can't stand the shiny screen it's like looking into a mirror.
It is a 24" imac, Vlad. If I had to do it again, I'd thnk seriously about getting a 20" since the resolution on the 24 is not better, it's just bigger.
I've got that flanked by a 23" Cinema display.
Is that true about 30" HD display? Bigger not batter that is?
My mind is set on Mac Pro... But I am not sure if I really need a 30" display.
No the 30" has higher resolution than the 1920-by-1200 that's shared by all the 20-24" displays. But don't take my word for it. Take a close look before you buy. Also take a look at the pricetag on the 30". yikes!
Yes that was my reaction to the price tag on 30"er.... yikes!!!
One more thing. How did you managed to include trackbacks in your template?
It was easy, Vlad. I'll write up my Disqus hacks soon.
Great vid, Jangro. Love the "eBates China" diss.
oh, and BigIdea is real (as real can be in the marketing world). Launching on April 1 is the new hotness.
Can't wait to get those big ideas in my e-mail. I am disappointed though, I thought you are a RSS evangelist?
that email form forwards to shawn collins' personal email. i have no idea what people are saying :)
LOL that is funny.
Glad to hear it. congrats (again)!
Nice work, Mr. Jangro. I just wish you would have given us more Rick Astley (full disclosure, I bought his cassette back in the day) and less of the hell cat.
Thanks Shawn.
My first version that I scrapped did have the entire video in there and I was going to host it from youtube figuring that I'd have a better chance of not getting it kicked for the copyrighted video inside. But get this....youtube actually automatically detected that I had copyrighted material in my video and flagged it. It was allowed, but I couldn't embed it. Very impressive.
So, I figured a few seconds was "fair use". Hope so anyway.
Happy april fools day guys
You're lucky you didn't include a Rick Roll in the video. You would have been haunted by Wham videos for the rest of the year. But I heard you actually like them :)
Oh damn, I posted before watching the whole video. That's a shame.
Bring it Jonathan.
And anyone who says they don't like wham is lying.
I admit that Careless Whisper was a secret indulgence in the 80s - but the other stuff from them - no way!
Our local radio station let everyone know that there was a whale swimming up the river (the place is in the centre of the UK and no Sea for hundreds of miles...)

I'm not sure they conned too many people, I suspect there were no crowds, but a nice one...
Haha... lolzing everywhere.
I thought April first would be a good day to release news on an affiliate program... apparently not.

well done, Zac.
I thought my fools prank was a pretty good one
Nice, kyle. a totally backward webpage is really strange to look at.
It looked Russian to me at first
Bah, April Fools. I don't even bother going to social news sites on April 1st. So much fake news I don't know what to believe.
Rick Rolled again!, for the 100th time.
Nah, 5 seconds was barely a rickroll. That was more of a ricktease.
How you deliver all that with a straight face is beyond me....
Every video on the front page of youtube was linked to a Rick Roll yesterday.
I like eBay's new program, just not sure how effective it'll actually be in getting quality of quantity.
"Microsoft Xbox 360 Spring Announcements" almost caught me ! These days in april fools many websites play with serious news... Like liteon internal blu ray drive for xbox360! April fools days in the internet are less funny every year.
LOL, I got rickrolled WAY too many times on April Fools.
me 2, nicely done
My first impression was you was also trying to april fool us with this video. Enjoyed it. Thanks. And I have actually managed to fool a quite a few people without being fooled. He He He.
lol nice :)
