Felt like I haven’t written a blog post in awhile. Anyway I have been really busy changing all my PPC tracking over Prosper202 which has taken up a lot of time lately. Plus it was so hot at the end of last week, the family and I headed up to the cabin for the weekend.
Plus, I have pulled all my campaigns that were running with NeverBlueAds. It’s a little bit of a long story and I might do a write up on more about later this week. But let’s put it this way, I am still waiting to get paid from June and now of course July’s payment will hopefully be here this week along with June’s. As of about a week ago I am no longer doing business with NeverBlueAds. After writing this, maybe I will do a blog post….stay tuned
My buddy Ryan Royal has started a new site LP Templates. I’ve known Ryan for over 4 years now and he is a stand up guy and that’s why I wanted to tell you about his new site.
Ryan is selling some great landing page templates all for under $15.00 each. Right now he has 6 landing pages up, with more coming soon. Up now there are ecards, dating, college offers, and a couple others. He will only be selling 10 of each design, so you’re not going to see them everywhere.
So if you’re just starting out or just looking for some new landing pages check his site out.
Yesterday, Google launched Google Insights for Search, a new product designed with the advertiser in mind. It provides more flexibility and functionality for advertisers and marketers to understand search behavior, and adds some cool new features like a world heat map to graphically display search volume and regional interest.
Like Google Trends, you can just type in a search term to see search volume patterns over time, as well as the top related and rising searches. You’ll also have the ability to compare search volume trends across multiple search terms, categories (commonly referred to as verticals), geographic regions, or specific time ranges.

I have played with it just a little and it’s awesome, I love the fact that you can download the info into a CSv file. This may become my new favorite tool to use.
A couple of days ago I decided to test of a Widget called ScratchBack, basically it’s a tip jars for blogs. It was created by Jim Kukral and it has been around a little while but I thought I would try it out.
So how does it work?
ScratchBack is basically an online “tipping” system. It allows you to accept tips and “give back” links in return on your blog or website.
So do you want in my TopSpot?
It’s only a $1.00 for 30 days; image that only $1.00 for a month, how could you not buy one. All you need is a PayPal account and your site will go up almost instantly.
I’ve been getting contacted lately about attending Affiliate Summit East in a few days. Unfortunately I will not be attending. I had plans to attend but my wife’s schedule has prevented me from attending. I do plan on going to Affiliate Summit West Vegas in January of 09.
I maybe attending Blog World in September, by the looks of it a lot of affiliates will be attending and it looks like it will be the place to be.
I will post in the near future about attending. If your going to Blog World, let me know.
