Down, Down. Deeper and Down.
Down, Down. Deeper and Down.

Lammo in Mourning – Well, it finally happened.. Plymouth Argyle were relegated from the Championship last week, and we’re going to be plying our trade against such giants as Rochdale, Yeovil and Bournemouth next season. Heck, we might even be playing Aldershot Town in a league fixture next... 

Next making friends again, and a (mini) political rant
Next making friends again, and a (mini) political rant

Next making friends again – Oh dear, Next just can’t seem to get on with their affiliates can they? Not content with dropping commissions for Christmas, bidding on their competitiors brand names and kicking bloggers off the program for posting anything remotely negative, they’ve now... 

Plymouth Argyle Aviva Advert
Plymouth Argyle Aviva Advert

Good to see Argyle finally getting the national recognition they deserve… Geddon you Janner! /* Unit: argyle */ The ad, for insurance company Avivia (formally known as Norwich Union) features Paul Whitehouse as a “typical” Plymouth Argyle fan driving up to Newcastle for an away... 

Where are you Argyle? Let’s be having you!

I was invited to the Argyle v Norwich game as a guest of match-ball sponsors Existem Affiliate Management and DGMaffiliates, and so abandoned my usual seat in the Lyndhurst for the comfort of the “Pyramid Suite”, the new name for the hospitality marquee – It’s a vast improvement,... 

Chuffed as a Badger at the start of Mating Season
Chuffed as a Badger at the start of Mating Season

Isn’t Karma a wonderful thing? – Who says there’s no justice in the world? Just five short months after “leaving the cast of Eastenders (Plymouth Argyle) to play King Lear (Leicester City)”, perennial liar Ian Holloway managed to add yet another relegation to his CV, this... 

I’m not here right now – Please carry on as usual

Running on auto-pilot – You’ve got to love Wordpress haven’t you? If I hadn’t told everyone I spoke to for a few weeks beforehand, you wouldn’t know that I’ve actually been on a fortnight’s holiday – Thanks to the mighty WP (as well as a couple of colleagues,... 

The Links are Dead – Long live the Links!

POR resurrect deadlinks More – We must all remember the true meaning of Easter – No, it’s not all about Eggs and Chocolate (whose idea was it to discover a hidden love of KitKat Chunkies and Mini-Eggs two weeks before going on a beach holiday?), but of course Easter was when the Easter... 

I am wrong, CJ do something right, and Ian Holloway can’t stop lying

Buy.at/Holiday Watchdog sales More and More – It’s the time of the big money sales again. I have to say no-one deserves it more than the two Chris’s from Holiday Watchdog (Who will have to become known as the two Chris’s from Sunshine now) – They show that you can start... 

The Tri-weekly Muppet of the Week award

Do networks really incentivise their affiliates? More - The simple answer to this is no. During my 18 months out of Affiliate Marketing in 2005/2006 I did some work with The Utility Warehouse, notching up a couple of hundred sales, for which I still get paid a few hundred quid a month. As a thank-you... 

Affiliate Marketing is going full circle

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... 

It’s time to meet the muppets

Affiliate Marketing Muppets – I’ve long considered a “Muppet of the week” award for this blog, but always refrained from doing so as I was worried I was turning into Affiliate Marketing’s version of Victor Meldrew as it was. But there’s no harm in highlighting some... 

The laziest link-builder in the world

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... 

It could be Barbados or Butlins

Well here we are, another year older and another year wiser.. well most of us! I’ve decided to condense the blog posts somewhat this year, as I know it’s going to be tough to find the time to blog regularly otherwise, so expect one or two posts a week with a wide variety of topics…... 

Big thanks to Existem AM

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... 

Hollow Words goes forth…

Even the most casual of football fans will have heard the news this week that “Mr. Loyalty and Honesty” Ian Holloway walked out on Plymouth Argyle this week to become the sixth Leicester City manager of 2007. Now even the most green-tinted of Argyle fans would admit that Leicester City have...
