Just a reminder tomorrow starts the first in the series of Yahoo! Search Marketing webinars.
From Yahoo:
Description: We’ll cover the following topics: how to find your quality index score in the interface and understand the factors that affect it, the best practices to improve your quality index scores, determining your estimated rank in search results, how to bid at the single and multiple keyword levels (keyword and ad group levels), and the forecasting tools in the interface, such as the monthly estimates section (which is based on the performance of your ads).
Shawn Collins has recently partnered up with Jim Kukral and Sam Harrelson to launch GeekCast.fm,
The site will have lots of industry-related podcasts, as well as the GeekCast Show, which covers all areas of Internet marketing, including affiliate marketing, social media, video, search engine marketing, and mobile.
So if you’re looking for a new place to hang out, check it out. I know I will be listening and watching.
Yesterday OpenAds announced that at the end of January they will start rolling out a hosted version of their great product.
I have been using Openads on my server for over 2 years now and absolutely I love it, I use it to run almost all my affiliate banners and text links.
Setting it up in the beginning does take some time and it’s a little confusing, but once it’s installed it’s a great program. I really do like the idea of the offering a hosted version.
Great thing is that both versions will still be FREE! Great move by The OpenAds Team!
No not that you get to ride him there. But Mr. Chow is now having a contest for a full conference pass that he is giving away on his blog. The rules are pretty easy; write a post on why you want it, why you deserve it and what you hope to get out of the Affiliate Summit. He is giving the ticket away at the end of the month, which is still plenty of time to book your trip.
Just remember I won a free ticket via Zac Johnson’s contest, so real people do win these contests.
Good luck and hope to see you there.
I recorded it this last week because I was gone and haven’t had a chance to watch it yet. I have been a little under the weather for the past couple of days, I will try and watch it tonight and give a review in the morning.
