I’m about 6 months away from being an affiliate in the silicone wristband business for a year. We’ve made some good money in the silicone wristband business and I’ve really learned a lot. Things like, marketing an affiliate site is a lot harder than marketing a site for your own business.
One of the things I’m very proud of is the design we’ve been using. I’d be willing to say I’ve got the best looking silicone wristband website in the business. Our call to action is in your face yet so tasteful that it doesn’t bother you.
The site is optimized for the search engines yet looking at the site you’d never guess. It appears to be designed with only the user in mind.
I don’t know of any other site online that has 5 call to actions above the fold yet blends in so nicely with the design that they don’t stand out. I believe a call to action should be nothing more than an easy to find link when the site visitor is ready to make a purchase. We’ve just started playing with both the site and the affiliate marketing yet with the little time we’ve been able to put into the site it’s making us an extra $5,000.00 or more per month.
I’m proud of my little affiliate marketing business and hope to be able to put a little more time and effort into it this coming year.
I've slowly been getting back into forum posting over the last couple months. However I've found it difficult to find interesting or even the latest information on the marketing side of the Internet.
It appears that everyone has moved into the blogging arena and the forums are left with a lot of the “why has my site lost it's ranking” post. And the number of blogs make it impossible to even begin to find all the different views on the subjects at hand.
I decided to find the best marketing blogs online and pull their RSS feeds back to my forum to make it easier for me to keep up with the latest changes. As members, we are able to find and respond to the post that we feel are worth someone else's time.
Like this morning funbiz pointed out a post that I knew nothing about http://www.geeksonsteroids.com/forum/viewtopic.13717.html
If you have a blog about social media sites, search engines, or marketing and feel that the community could benefit from what you have to say, send me your <a xhref="http://www.geeksonsteroids.com/forum">forum user name</a> and blog RSS feed and I'll set the forum up to pull the post from your blog and put a short description along with a link to your blog on the forum.
Thanks for your time.

As more and more people start blogging it seems that more and more people try and figure out ways to make money with blogs. We already have the poor mans way to make money online, PayPerPost.
But now there is a new product to help the blogger sell products online. It’s called a booBox and you can read more about it here.
It appears to be nothing more then a small icon you can click on that causes a small window to open up on your blog. It does not take the visitor off your blog but allows them to purchase the product in the small window without ever leaving your blog.
The blogger gets a commission and the visitor gets his/her product. Sounds like everyone wins to me and to make it work you only have to add a little html code to your blog. I’m sure a little code changing and you can change the look of the icon or change the icon all together.
I had to take a moment and update my blog after reading a blog post from Chris over at WPW’s Blog.
It moves the blogging software to 2.1 level and fixes 550 bugs. I didn’t even know there were that many bugs but have to say I love the new admin. area. Read all about it from Chris’s blog.
I wanted to take a minute and try and help out all you people that enjoy spamming blogs. Here are a couple things you need to know about blog spamming.
1. Most blogs are set up so each and every comment you make has to be approved before showing up on the blog. This means that your spam comment is never going to show up on the blog in the first place.
2. Most blogs have no follow tags set up in the comment section. This means that even if your comment gets into the blog it is not going to do you any good.
