I have a website or two that has some low level traffic, but enough that they should be doing *something* for me. These two websites bring me a combined total of $0 in affiliate commissions per month.

Now I could say:
The sites are duds and don’t have much to offer.
But the reality is:

Let’s see if I can get this posted.
Reason #99 to keep your websites hosted across several different webhosts:

Last week I stumbled across a marketing ‘push’ by an internet marketer that kinda/sorta disturbed me. Do we become so enslaved to the ‘Almighty Conversion Rate” that we find ourselves turning to deceptive marketing tactics?
Is Seth Godin right? Are all marketers really liars? (hey I still have to read that book yet!).
