Twitter getting a clue
Today I read about twitter implementing what they should have started off with initially. Advertisements. I know that you can only run an ad-free platform for so long before you have to start making money. It’s just too bad they had to wait this long to finally go about doing it. some of the small edits are as follows;
Following a large amount of users or following and unfollowing, or following and unfollowing the same users in a short amount of time
- Having a small number of followers compared to the amount of people you are following
- Updates that consist mainly of links.
- Large number of people who are blocking a particular user
- Posting duplicate content over a number of accounts
- Attempting to sell followers
- Posting multiple unrelated updates to a topic using #
- Sending large numbers of unsolicited @replies in an attempt to spam a service or link
It was only a matter of time before they figured out they need to MAKE money for this upcoming social network.
What do you think you’re going to start promoting on twitter now?
September campaigns
As September rolls in we’re going to see a lot of changes in the traffic market. More specifically, we should see some fluctuation in the social media sphere. School is back in session and as more and more college and high school attendees are getting their ‘friends list’ bulked up you will see a nice change in that traffic source.
As for email marketing, there’s still good financial offers available, cash advance, and some mainstream products that are continuously staying strong.

Losing Touch
Sometimes there are things that keep us distracted from what we’re intentionally trying to either finish or progress on. What I find myself doing sometimes is getting tangible with my tasks. Doing one thing on my sites sometimes I run into a problem where I stumble upon three or five other things that I find I want to do to my site. Although getting tangible on your mission is fine, keep in mind the original motivation should never be overshadowed.
When setting up multiple campaigns, make sure, even when distracted, that your site or landing page doesn’t lose its integrity. I’ve seen many people get so distracted from their original tasks that they lose focus and end up running a shotty campaign.
Just make sure you stay focused on your main objective. Take notes of any sites you stumbled on and go back to them later. Finish the one project/campaign and then move on to the next. You’ll not only be more productive, but your days will go by so much quicker having ‘more’ to do.
1996 Jeep XJ
So after working on the posts for a couple days i’ve decided to also include a little portion for what i would call a ‘hobby’ but really it’s just maintenance on my Jeep XJ.
A couple of issues recently happened. U Joints, The jeep getting broken into, Replacing the ignition cylinder, and simple wear and tear on my tires… having to rotate them and also correct the steering.
I’ll be posting other things that i’m going to me doing on the XJ as well, and include any links that might be beneficial to anyone who might need some help on their vehicles.
Preception on working ‘hard’
There’s a theory of “working smarter and not harder” in which I’m a huge fan of. The theory runs true in a lot of the things we do in this industry.
One solid campaign can perform just as good as ten “thrown together” campaigns. When building your campaigns, don’t just throw together a landing page and call it good. Instead, optimize your landing page. There are many affiliates out there who get away with throwing content in a page and redirecting the traffic straight into the offer. while that works, think about your returning traffic. if your only out to make a quick buck, then fine, redirect all you want. But if your in this business for the long haul. Take your time building these things in order to retain your traffic, make the user feel secure about what they’re getting into, and therefor maintaining the integrity of your campaign management.
Trust me, in time, you’ll be much happier, and your users will continue to visit you and see what else you’ve got for them.
