Launched today is a brand new Wiki for Affiliates4U forum. As like all Wiki, it is up to users to add/update content on the Wiki. It’s purpose is “to provide an educational resource to the wider internet community about affiliates4u and the Affiliate Marketing industry.” Areas covered... 

In January this year, I sold Net Free Stuff, my very first website, to Internet Business Group plc for £120,000 cash. It’s a very satisfying feeling, knowing that something you created out of nothing could be sought after by a stock-listed company, who are leaders in the Industry. I thought it... 

Just heard that the Met Office have released an early weather warning for England & Wales on Friday, going into Saturday. There is rainfall of 20-30mm expected, but there could be as much as 60-90mm in places. Driving conditions will be atrocious, and there may well be isolated flooding. The weatherman... 

It’s now four weeks to the day since my rant about networks who don’t pay or just seem to make getting paid a hassle, and time for an update. This time, however I won’t be with-holding names as I feel they’ve had every opportunity to sort out something simple like paying your... 

uvme You wouldn’t believe the hype my inbox has seen over the last 6 weeks over the latest product to be released by Virtual World Direct. I’ve literally received over 100 emails every single day bigging up the “pre-launch” of the “biggest event ever to hit the Internet” Finally,... 

Paid on Results launched yet another innovative new tool for affiliates and merchants last week – Transaction alerts. To describe it at it’s most basic level, it will send you an alert via email (or via HTTP request, though I’m not going to pretend that I know what that means.. sounds... 

There’s been a number of complaints recently over at the normally peaceful a4uforums from merchants and networks about Affiliates being abusive towards them. I have a strange feeling that these instances may all be connected, and there may only be 1 abusive affiliate out there giving everyone (and... 

There are changes afoot at Yahoo Search Marketing, with a whole new platform, and ranking method based on bid price and CTR (sound familiar?) coming soon. I’m still waiting for my go-live date for my upgrade to the new platform, though that’s probably more to do with the fact I put very little... 

Clarke Duncan did a great post yesterday, offering an objective viewpoint of the current landscape of the networks in the UK, with a positive comment and some constructive criticism for each network. But why write a hundred words when three will suffice? So therefore, here is my review of most of the... 

the waterboy talladega nights Knocked another two titles off my Lovefilm wishlist on Saturday night with a couple of comedies – One a bit of an “oldie” (I know 1998 isn’t that old, but Adam Sandler looks so young in it!), and one more recent. Neither of them are particular... 

Due to unforeseen circumstances (what do you mean well planned circumstances?), “the wives” are no longer able to attend the A4u Summer networking event at Bristol on 20th July. As a result, I’ve got two spare affiliate tickets. I’ve spoken to Matt, and he’s happy for me... 

For as long as I’ve been in Affiliate Marketing, there’s been conspiracy theories about untracked or missing sales: The merchant “loses” tracking for a couple of hours a week The merchant deletes 1 in 10/1 in 3/every bloomin sale/lead Tracking genuinely goes down every now... 

Just a quick reminder for everyone looking to go to a4uexpo on October 25th and 26th this year, that the initial “earlybird” discount (saving you £100 per ticket) ends on 31st July. If like me, you’d been thinking for ages that 31st July is ages away, and you’ll do it nearer... 

I’ve been well and truly underwhelmed with the response to my Send me Free Stuff call posted last week.. Until today that is, when postie hammered on the door in the pouring rain with large box in his hand. Like a kid at Christmas, I couldn’t wait to find out the contents, and ripped furiously... 

IBG 12 month chart It came to my attention that the price of Internet Business Group plc’s (IBG.L, parent company of Affiliate Future and proud owners of my old site Net Free Stuff) shares took a bit of a tumble recently due to a profit warning. Personally, I don’t currently hold any...
