(show more)The other day, Robin over at Profit Blog shared some good tips on how to ensure that your blog comments get approved (rather than getting junked because they look like spam):
The reason so many marketers are unsuccessful with blog commenting is because they cannot understand what it means to add value. So below are a [...]

(show more)Before we get to internet marketing, let’s talk about the “Stupid Tax”. According to the Urban Dictionary, it’s:
The cost associated with engaging in any state sanctioned form of long odds gambling, i.e. playing the lottery.
Why “Stupid Tax”? As I wrote back in July:

The $100 Startup, Chris Guillebeau shows you how to lead of life of adventure, meaning and purpose –
and earn a good living.
Still in his early thirties, Chris is on the verge of completing a tour of every country on earth – he’s already visited more than 175 nations – and yet he’s never held a “real job” or earned a regular paycheck. Rather, he has a special genius for turning ideas into income, and he uses what he earns both to support his life of adventure and to give back.
There are
many others like Chris – those who’ve found ways to opt out of traditional employment and create the time and income to pursue what they find meaningful. Sometimes, achieving t...

Collecting data is easy for marketers. Figuring out what to do with it is hard. Technology has made it almost routine for companies to know exactly when, where, and how their customers shop, both online and off.

Verizon knows how often you call your mom. Hilton knows if you prefer a higher floor and a room away from the elevator. But after gathering and crunching all this customer data most companies have little or no idea how to use it. They either let it go to waste or abuse it with ill-c...

Website
Affiliate marketing can be done without a website by, for example, advertising with Google AdWords, and sending clicks directly to your affiliate links. But you're much better off having your own website. Even if you're just doing affiliate marketing, having your own website enables you to:
- Write your own reviews of products you're promoting. Customers will appreciate getting a third-party opinion on a product rather than having to just take the sellers word for it.
- Advertise products that others are already advertising on AdWords. Google only allows one ad on a page that's linking directly to the seller's page, even though each affiliate link is slightly unique.
- Get free traffic from search engines or links from other sites. Why pay for all of your traffic?
