Jobs are being cut left, right and centre in even some of the biggest companies across the UK, and in fact the whole world. This global recession has got people feeling more than a bit jittery about their long-term aims and where they see themselves in 10 years time, or even 10 months. Every cloud, though,... 

You can’t fail to have noticed in the last week that several affiliates have invested in House Price Spy, a House price website, and so far Clarke, Shane, Fraser and the Two Chris’s have one by one shown their hands and declared their interest in the affiliate joint venture. Well, I’m... 

It’s a bumper “Day in the life of” this week, as we take a peek at the typical working day of the hardest working man in Affiliate Marketing, Nadeem Azam. Nadeem is CEO of Azam Marketing, and one of the friendliest people I’ve ever met. So without further ado, it’s over... 

Can you hear me now? – First of all, my apologies for the silence over the last two weeks. Things have been so manically busy as we approached the end of some major projects that it’s been very difficult to find even 5 minutes to post to the blog. Normal service will be resumed from here... 

Content is King again More – It looks like Affiliate Marketing is going full circle, and as a content affiliate that publishes in excess of 100,000 words of highly-researched unique content every month, I certainly hope it is! As more and more affiliates are being squeezed out of PPC by Search... 

New Look Blog – Yup, I’ve jumped on that bandwagon and decided that the New Year is the perfect time for a new look theme. We’re still tweaking things behind the scenes, so please do shout if you spot anything that isn’t as it should be! I do like the web 2.0 feel of it, and it’s... 

Cashback Sites to kill Affiliate Marketing? More - I don’t believe that cashback sites will spell the end of Affiliate Marketing, after all Spyware, crap merchants, dodgy affiliates, brand bidders and general apathy have collectively failed to do so. But they certainly will have a major impact... 

A real change from the usual format this week, starting with my usual few minutes of the lovely Nigella Lawson cooking a nice bit of fish in.. urgh! it’s Rick bloomin Stein! Where’s Nigella gone? A large chunk of the Den today was dedicated to some “Where are they now” stories... 

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... 

First of all, my apologies for the lateness and brevity of this week’s update – It’s due to a combination of being really busy with the Christmas sales, a dose of Man-flu, and taking the night off to go to a Madness gig. Normal service will be resumed next week.. Thankfully, the dragons... 

One of the benefits of Sky-plussing Dragons Den is that you get a few minutes of Nigella Lawson recorded at the beginning of each episode. Now whilst I’d never sit through a whole hour of her, a few minutes each week seems to be the perfect amount, and try as I might, I can’t seem to fast... 

They say Lightening never strikes twice, so what chance that Duncan Bannatyne would invest two weeks in a row? Well, Ladbrokes were offering odds of 100/1 at one point until there was a flurry of bets from somewhere in Stockton-on-Tees… We were treated to a bit of a song and dance from our first... 

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... 

It wasn’t a classic Dragons Den last night – There were no massive investments, and although none of the businesses/products/inventions were any good, none of then were so bad they were good TV. Amazingly, two people walked away with an Investment from the Dragons, but that could be explained... 

Some good news for Investors and Traders everywhere today: One of the world’s largest, and certainly one of the UK’s most popular stock brokers TD Waterhouse have cut their commission rates on all trades Holders of a TD Waterhouse account can now buy and sell shares an pay a flat fee of just £9.95...
