How Do You Feel About Affiliate Networks?

Back in late November, I made a blog post asking for your comments on various affiliate networks - such as Commission Junction, LinkShare, LinkConnector, ShareaSale, and so on. I made the post right after the Thanksgiving holiday here in the U.S., when a lot of us were trying to get caught up after a few days off. So you may have missed it.

If you’ve had ANY experience with a network or an affiliate management company - good, bad, or indifferent - I’d really like to hear about it. I’m not so much interested in individual merchants, but in the network itself. You can comment on anything you wish, from the quality of the reports and stats, the support, the user interface, the dispute process - anything.

To keep comment spam down, you have to register to comment. But it’s simple - all that’s required is a URL and your email (which nobody can see). And you’d really be helping us improve the industry, since more and more affiliate managers are asking our advice about how to run their program right. Click here to make your comments:

Does Your Brain Hurt?

Don’t you just love all those sales letters that talk about “the affiliate lifestyle?” Where you wake up late, goof off for a while, check your sites and email, go shopping, then hang out at the beach for a few hours - and finally come home to a mailbox full of checks?

Well, I know a some very successful affiliates with lifestyles like that. But most affiliates I know are busy - too busy! It seems that even beginner affiliates always feel like they are in way over their head with too much to do - and way too much stress. They have so many projects going all at the same time that even when they start becoming successful, they can’t seem to enjoy it.

But there’s a solution. A few months ago I wrote a post about it.

And it’s not some magic meditation formula or a “happy pill” you get from the doctor! Check it out now if you’re feeling overwhelmed and stressed out:

Great New AdWords Desktop Tool

If you’re one of our many affiliates who are using AdWords PPC to drive targeted visitors to your site or landing pages, Google has created a very handy tool to help make managing AdWords a lot easier. It’s a free account management application you download to your computer, and it allows you to work on your AdWords account right on your PC. You can make changes, then upload revised campaigns.

This tool is a huge time-saver. It will also help you avoid those awful moments when your login times out (it’s always AFTER you’ve tweaked your ad inside the AdWord interface and finally got it perfect). You can read about this cool new tool here:
