December 18, 2007  |  Affiliate Marketing, Affiliate Programmes  |  2 Comments

I read with interest that Microsoft adCenter have just launched their own affiliate program geared towards those of us who work in and around the internet marketing industry.

Thanks to Webgains.com and DesignerSunglasses.co.uk I’m now the proud owner of some rather stylish Prada designer sunglasses worth 200 big ones, fantastic! What makes this prize even sweeter is that during a music festival this year my current pair (that I’d owned for just one week) were stolen. As if that wasn’t enough of a coincidence, I’m off...

Given the time of the year I didn’t think it was actually possible to forget about Christmas but this morning (buried deep in a business proposal) I did exactly that. That was until the mornings post arrived. Thanks to Google (did I really just say that?) I was quickly reminded that the season for giving truly is in full...

November 29, 2007  |  Search Engines  |  1 Comment

Imagine if you could control the Google SERPs via a ‘Digg Style’ vote on what you thought was a quality result and burry those that you thought were junk?
