When Idiots Attack

Tuesday, May 6th, 2008

As I mentioned in the podcast I did on friday, the Geekcast.fm crew, as well as myself and a few others acquired a new "fan" last week. A person acting anonymously under the pseudonym of "Marky Zarc" posted a blog on blogspot, entitled lorenfeldman.blogspot.com including posts that not only made fun ...

JangroCast #4: Transparency

Wednesday, April 23rd, 2008

Transparency is a term that's tossed around quite a bit in affiliate marketing, and I don't think any affiliate marketing network fits my definition of transparent.

Twitter Teams

Thursday, March 20th, 2008

Something really interesting is brewing in the Twitterverse. (Did I just say twitterverse?) Out of the blue (no pun intended, you'll see), Ze Frank declared that he was on the "Blue Team". No explanation, he changed his picture to contain a blue team badge on the bottom, talked it ...

Random Sunday Bits. iTunes Movies, Email Nirvana

Ironically, aside from some really hot affiliate marketing topics (*cough* LMI), my most popular posts seem to be related ...

Brian Littleton of ShareASale hosted a unique event, dubbed the ThinkTank, this past weekend, bringing a small group of merchants and affiliates together in Las Vegas for networking and feedback.

Hug a Blogger

Sunday, October 15th, 2006

Do you know what bloggers love more than anything (besides getting a link)? That's right, comments. People are reading, but when the bottom of the page is as enthusiastic as a CJ Appreciation Day on ABW, it can get pretty darned depressing. What's your daily blogs-read-to-comment ratio? I ...
