I see it all the time — some guru (or wannabe) releases what could have been a good internet marketing info product. But since they’re more interested in sales than ethics, they just can’t resist adding a little “hash” to their brownie mix.
What am I talking about?
Here’s an example: I created a website a few [...]

If you’ve ever tried monetizing a website, you know about banner blindness: the uncanny ability of web surfers to view a website without seeing the banner ads that are plastered all over it.
I’ve just posted a case study video showing how I added one little thing to one of my sites and boosted the click-through [...]

In a guest post on Clayton Makepeace’s blog yesterday, Daniel Levis revealed the results of a split test between single and double opt in mailing lists. The results were surprising.
First, he showed how many subscribers each list got, and how many of the original subscribers were still subscribed a year later. Single opt-in won both [...]

I ran my first “dime sale” last week, and thought I’d share a few lessons and ideas I picked up from the experience.
I’d originally planned to have it start at noon US Central time and run 24 hours. That made sense because the majority of my customers are in the US, and that would be [...]

A few years ago, I wanted to write a guide to internet marketing that would answer the question “what’s next?” for anyone, no matter how experienced. Ah well, you don’t always get what you want!
After a few failed attempts to figure out how to structure such a thing, it became clear that it was impossible. [...]

When I read the headline “Sponsored Tweets Launches: The End of Twitter As We Know It?“, I fully expected to read the article, say “yep, bad idea that will surely fail”, and go on with my day.
Turns out it’s an interesting idea. It might still fail — definitely an uphill battle ahead.
I’m sure there’ll be [...]

I have to laugh every time I hear some big-name marketer whining about their Twitter in-box overflowing with auto-DMs. “What, you didn’t expect it?”
Before you get all in a kerfuffle, let me say that I DON’T approve of sending multiple auto-DMs to the same person. One when they first follow you is generally fine (but [...]

I’ve been considering dropping ClickBank as a payment processor for CaRP Evolution. Today I ran the numbers to see how much it’s costing me to use ClickBank vs. PayPal, and I thought I’d share.
If a customer arrives at my site through a ClickBank link, the payment goes through ClickBank. Otherwise it goes to my PayPal [...]

I’ve talked before about how some Twitterers follow way too many people. Some do it innocently, feeling obliged to follow anyone who follows them, and others with less noble intentions.

“Fail Whale, meet Fauxlow Fowl”
The problem is that by the time you’re following maybe 100 people (much sooner if many of them tweet actively), there’s no [...]

WebProNews posted some interesting information from a report by MailerMailer about how to get your emails opened and links in them clicked on. Their post focused on the subject line words that get emails opened, but what I found most interesting were the graphics showing open and click rates based on how personalization is used.
