Jangro.com Spin-off, AffBook.com

I've been wrestling with this issue for a few years now, but I think it's finally time to split off the affiliate marketing talk from Jangro.com to a new blog. I was having lunch with a friend who's in the online world like myself and when I brought this up, he said (paraphrasing), "Why? What's in it for you? Won't this just take up your...

Pissing Off Google Doesn't Pay

Recently, Google Affiliate Network rolled out a transition of their payment processing to Google Adsense. Through an easy process, you link your GAN account to an Adsense account (existing or new) and your GAN payments will be processed through Adsense. From a personal standpoint, I'm mostly ambivalent on the matter. As long as we get...

Back from Linkshare Symposium

I spent a few days this week in NYC at my first Linkshare Symposium. Being an old Be Free guy, I have to say it was a little strange but that was really only in my mind. Linkshare is not the company it used to be with most of the leadership team gone. Of course everybody there was great, whether they knew me from the old days or not. As...

Three Notable Things from the VCLK Earnings Call

First, congrats to VCLK on yet another great quarter. I typically listen to these calls live, but missed this one. Thankfully seekingalpha has a transcript.

Triple Jangro -- Taken in Vain

When David Lewis gave me a shout before publishing his story titled Triple Jangro, I said, "sure, go ahead, it is funny." The story is about three guys who left Commission Junction under a new policy prohibiting employees from participating as affiliates, to presumably become affiliates. I also left CJ in 2004 to become an affiliate, not...
