The web is a wacky, wonderful place to hang around and carve out your own space. But part of the deal is this: Crazy People.
You know that part of your newsletters where you list your physical address (for Can-Spam compliance) and even the information listed on your whois? Check this out:
Dont Publish Your Physical Address!

Here’s the latest book I’ve scooped off my To Read pile:
The E-Myth Revisited
Why Most Small Businesses Don’t Work and What to Do About It
Michael E. Gerber
If you enjoyed reading Go It Alone, you’ll love this book too.
Quote from the introduction:
And what we have also discovered is that the people who own small businesses in this [...]
I’m not afraid of tinfoil hats. Sometimes I go there. Here’s a thought, something to chew on.
I’ve been reading Graywolf’s post Does Google use Whois Information and he’s got some great ideas to vary up your whois data. I don’t want to start some crazy discussion about web mafia tactics, dark gangstah arts and all [...]
First I’ll say I have a smidgen of affiliate sites still doing ok in both Yahoo! and MSN (for the time being). Never have I done well in Google. With the latest Yahoo! update knocking out some of the power keyphrases I used to rank well in, I’ve been doing some investigating.
Going through some old [...]
So yeah. One site of mine got booted, and booted HARD by Yahoo’s latest update last week. The site enjoyed some nice top 10 keyword phrase rankings so the traffic loss is going to hurt my wallet by several hundred dollars per month. Remember I’m a small fry. So the loss is Not. Nice.
Part of [...]
I was hanging around WebmasterWorld for a bit the other day and stumbled across a thread 3 steps to making more money via Affiliate Marketing. Great thread!
I used that information to pull together this short list for myself:
Online Focus For Income Growth & Success
Increase Traffic & Traffic Channels (ppc, newsletters, advertising, etc.)
Increase Commission Rate [...]

I scooped another book off my To Read pile:
Go It Alone
The secret to building a successful business on your own
Author: Bruce Judson
The book pretty much deals with a one-man-show business and how it’s possible to build a lucrative business using automation (software, online services) and outsourcing. It’s fully applicable to both online and offline businesses.

Hey did anyone notice I was MIA for a few weeks! I lost complete interest in my affiliate marketing efforts for the month of July. Didn’t do a darn thing. Hardly blogged. Did a teeny bit of maintenance work, but other than that…nada.
But here’s what I found out. I’m on the right track with [...]
I can think of three, maybe four Internet Marketers that truly provide a worthwhile newsletter. Yes some product recommendations, but nothing crazy. By crazy I mean constant bombardment of every new product that comes out, or daily/weekly spam, errr, product promos.
I can live with a few pitches within a weekly/monthly newsletter. It’s the price I [...]
Interested in reaching deep down into the bowels of the underground click fraud gangs? Wanna meet and hang out with who’s being paid to click on all those parked domain page ads and paid search engine results?
Take a look at what I’ve been tipped off on:
Getpaidforum threaded discussion
This thread is such a sad, pathetic, twisted [...]

Here’s a great free script that I was able to get working easily on one of my sites:
Watermark Images
This script will take any image and automatically add a watermark before it is delivered from the server to the person’s browser.
Covers all the image formats nicely: works with .jpg .gif or .png file
Watermark image is a [...]

It’s just so perfect and so relevant to what we face online. Lots I can say, but apparently art is very subjective. I’ll shut my mouth and you draw your own lesson or meaning from it.

What started out as thanking other bloggers and websites for sending a link SuperAff’s way, has progressed to something I look forward to getting a little creative and having a little fun with.
A big thank you to everyone who has linked here, including these bloggers who linked to SuperAff in a blog post [...]
Theoretical Situation:
Johnny Blogger has $100,000 invested in Google Stock
He has a very popular blog, well respected and enjoys a wide readership in the tens of thousands
He frequently hypes Google and its products
Question:
Do you expect bloggers to clearly announce their financial interests in companies they are blogging about?
The highly touted Bloggers Creed of Transparency:
The ethic [...]
You realize that bloggers can kick start the buzz about your company or product into high gear. You recognize the importance of offering a good WIIFM to those bloggers.
But which bloggers do you approach? You realize not all bloggers are equal. Some ideas, but certainly not an exhaustive list…
First decide what your target market is, [...]
How’s this for a big time treat:

Have no fear, Publisher Tools are here!
For each feed I try to claim, I get a consistent:
Verification Failed
Authentication by Key Match Failed for feed “feed name here”.
I’m just stumped.
I receive many notes through the contact form here on SuperAff asking me to introduce their product, their service, their blog, their podcast, their affiliate program, their ebook, yada yada yada and yada again.
Do I mind? Not at all - I encourage it and anyone’s free to contact me for whatever reason. I’m terrible [...]
I just finished reading the book Startup Nation (not an aff link) and although a lot of the book offers plenty of good info online marketers can use (yes buy it), this part struck a chord with me:
How to Create Demand for Your Brand
(page 178)
Razor Scooters, all the rage in the late 1990s, became popular [...]
I have a bitty site that I’ve been feeding a mix of original content, reprint articles and PLR articles (Private Label Rights).
I uploaded a reprint article a few weeks ago that was very much targeted to my site, extremely well written and informative. The resource link wasn’t competitive to my ‘niche’, wasn’t a scraped [...]
I’ve been noticing blog and forum posts talking about their adsense earnings dropping. Sometimes the clicks are still coming in at a good pace but the price earned per click has dropped considerably.
I’ve talked about this here before but I think the noise is rising about income per click dropping, so I’ll mention it again.
Do [...]
Here are a few things I’ve implemented for myself to try keeping things organized, save myself time as well as better utilize my time online:
Blogging
I enjoy blogging but I find it can eat a big chunk of my time each day. I don’t normally write just a paragraph or two and the time spent can [...]
If you’re trying to launch something new and different online, or with a creative twist, and its success is dependent on buzz–make sure you launch fast and hard.
F-A-S-T and H-A-R-D
Pay the big bloggers to post about your site if you have to. Bribe, plead, beg, buy advertising. Whatever you have to do to [...]
