Happy New Year On the 31st December 2000, I made a number of New Years Resolutions (as I’m sure most of us do each year) – We were with some friends, and we decided it would be fun to actually write them down and keep them to look at the following year to see how we fared. for some reason,... 

Noddy Holder …It’s Chriiiistmas!!! We’re just about to shut down for Christmas, and all the Big Idea Media staff are heading out for an afternoon of Beer and Bowling to celebrate, so all that remains is for me to wish all Lammo.net readers a very Merry Christmas and of course a... 

Well, I’m still recovering from the dreaded Man-Flu, hence why I’ve not yet commented on the big news from last week, that DGM have taken the advice I offered in my podcast with Fraser last month (I’m sure the consultancy fee is in the post, along with my xmas present) and de-listed... 

Plymouth Argyle I must thank Mark Russell from Existem Affiliate Management for inviting myself and Jason into the hospitality tent marquee at Argyle on Saturday. Existem AM sponsored the match ball in the Westcountry derby against Bristol City, and as such we were treated to a pre-match breakfast... 

Fraser Edwards To say it’s been a long time in the making is an understatement – Fraser first asked me to do a podcast back in the summer (Did we really have a summer this year?), but I was unable to commit the time until easycoreg was live. We finally set a date for 10th October, which... 

Mitchell and Webb do I’ve been running on Microsoft Vista since March, and became more and more frustrated with it as time wore on – It would crash at least three times a day, freeze on startup once every four boots, and just decide to reboot at random points. AS this was a new PC,... 

We've got great Hoes in Plymouth See that big sticky-out foot-like bit in the south-west of England? That’s called South-West England, and encompasses Cornwall, Devon, Dorset and Somerset, with a population of 2,094,833 people (Source 2001 census). Why is it then that when asked to point to... 

Yours truly taking a shot of vodka from the a4uexpo ice sculpture The Alcohol-stream finally has some blood in it, and the extra hour in bed on Sunday was welcomed with open-arms. Yes, I’ve recovered from the best business event I’ve ever been to. I posted on the a4uforum that the event... 

Dragons Den First of all, apologies for the lateness of this DD update. After spending all of last week in London Town for the A4uexpo, I didn’t get a chance to see episode two of the Den until last night. I knew it would be a good one, as the first thing everyone said when I met them throughout... 

There’s a fantastic thread in full swing over at Affiliates4u, as a precursor to a session that I think will fill very quickly at A4uexpo this week, entitled “The Interactive Insiders guide to selling your web business”. Started by the hosts of next weeks session Duncan Jennings and... 

As promised, I’m keeping my eyes peeled for rubbish landing pages, and highlighting the offenders on this blog. Today’s example of a merchant having no thought whatsoever for their affiliates is Desperate Seller on Affiliate Window. Desperate Seller On first impressions, this isn’t... 

I’m off to London Town all next week for A4uexpo, and had managed to pack in a pretty busy week of gigs, football, meetings and of course the actual expo and parties at the tail end of the week. As always with these type of events, I’m keen to justify the cost of going (When you take into... 

Open all hours? Not Ocean! Q: How hard is it to keep a network open? A: It must be pretty much impossible – Following on from PrimeQ‘s ludicrous decision to “pause” all operations so that they could perform an audit a few weeks ago, fellow Direct-Track based “me-too”... 

The Oscars have the Razzies and now, two weeks before the inaugural a4uawards I’m proud to announce the launch of the aFuawards to celebrate the flip side of our Industry – If a4uawards can celebrate the best in the business, then the aFuawards will celebrate the worst, the dark side, and... 

I’m busy putting together PPC campaigns and content for the forthcoming christmas rush, and it amazes me that as I’m doing this for the Eighth Christmas in a row, merchants still have some totally shocking landing pages which will never convert in a million years. Take a look at this landing...
