21st Century Affiliate Marketing
It’s been a busy week around here.
In addition to working to bring a new site online (that won’t have any affiliate ads and very few Adsense ads), I’ve been busy rebuilding one of my oldest websites, JohnDilbeck.com.
That’s the site where I really started to learn affiliate marketing and online marketing, in general. It’s where I [...]

One down, many to go
This is only tangentially about affiliate marketing, so you may or may not be interested in reading it.
I know of quite a few people who regularly post about how much, or how little, they earn from affiliate marketing, Google Adsense, and other related advertising and marketing methods.
I’m not going to name any names [...]

New website to go live this week
What next?
The NYAffiliateVoice blog has an article about several companies terminating affiliates in Hawaii and Rhode Island.
Termination of Hawaii Affiliates Continue
I wonder how many hundreds of affiliate marketing businesses - both full-time and part-time - are being destroyed by these tax law changes.
(Sigh.)
Act on your dream!

Affiliates terminated in Hawaii and Rhode Island
Previously, I linked to an article that Lynn Terry wrote about this subject. Today, I found an article on The Washington Post…
FTC plans to monitor blogs for claims, payments
I’m all for this monitoring and oversight by the FTC. I think it’s time that bloggers and others be held accountable for the veracity of their claims. [...]

FTC plans to monitor blogs for compliance
I’ve already made my decision about being dropped as an Amazon associate (along with all the others in North Carolina). I don’t care what happens. I’m done with Amazon.com.
Others, especially those who earn a lot more from Amazon.com than I do, disagree. They’re still trying to fight the NC proposed tax legislation, and/or they’re moving [...]

Amazon.com vs. States - associates lose
I’m tired of dealing with the whole Amazon.com debacle…
Amazon.com cancels all North Carolina affiliate accounts
In yesterday’s mail, I got something that was a breath of fresh air and reminded me of the difference between a so-so affiliate program (Amazon) and an outstanding affiliate program (Sitesell’s 5 Pillar Program).
You see, companies like Amazon.com go out of [...]

Sitesell always goes above and beyond
Yep. You read that right. Amazon.com has terminated the account for all of their affiliates who live in North Carolina.
Previously, they said they would do this if the NC General Assembly passed the tax law that is under consideration.
Now, however, even though the law has not been passed, Amazon terminated all their NC affiliates on [...]

Amazon.com cancels all North Carolina affiliate accounts
I don’t even know how to start writing about this. Sigh.
I’ve been a busy boy this week working on developing a new website (fortunately not related to affiliate marketing) and have been slow to read my emails.
This morning, I opened one from Amazon.com with a subject of: Important Notice from the Amazon Associates Program
Normally, I [...]

Will new tax law kill affiliate marketing in North Carolina?
I know this is not breaking news for many of the readers of this blog, because you already got the username you wanted on Facebook today.
Still, for others who aren’t up on the latest developments, I thought it would be worth a short post about the subject.
This morning, Facebook made it possible [...]

Did you get your preferred username at Facebook?
I just read an interesting story in the New York Times…
Blogs Falling in an Empty Forest
This is another article that shows how easy it is to start a blog, but how hard it is to continue it over time. Things change. We lose interest. We become too busy with other things.
In many cases, we [...]
