Totally P’d off with CJ deactivated advertiser emails 2007-11-28 07:48:18 I’ve blogged about this in the past however it must have got lost during the recent blog migration
Is it just me that is fed up with the standard Commission Junction deactivated advertiser email?
You have received this email because one or more of the advertisers you are affiliated with in the Commission Junction network has recently been temporarily deactivated.
Why CJ just can’t let us know who the merchant is, what the problem is it would save a lot of logging on and searching for the report.
And another thing when the merchant is reactivated why don’t affiliates get notified? Surely it makes sense in order to get links back live on affiliate websites.
Take a moment Commission Junction to review your communications procedures, you may find that a whole load of potential super affiliates will take more notice of what you have to offer.
Oh while I’m in moaning mode in the UK what CJ term an advertiser is a merchant and a publisher is an affiliate.

Blog experiment update 3 2007-12-02 13:15:30 Unfortunately the buying unique content part of the blog experiment came to an abrupt halt, my contact has been unable to purchase any more articles, hopefully this will only be a temporary situation.
In the mean time just to keep HD Advice ticking over I have published 4 articles, 2 of which are dubious quality, just to keep the site ticking along, hopefully they will pick up the odd sale in the Christmas boom.
Stats:
Traffic for November was slightly up on October with 1579 uniques viewing 2195 pages and the most popular page getting 1008 visits, 1397 visitors found the site via google, a total of 394 different keyphrases were employed to find the site the most popular getting 351 hits.
Revenue:
I must admit that at one point I was going to report a lot lower total than last month, as that most popular page mentioned above was pointing to a product only available from 1 source and it was out of stock, luckily further stock arrived on 19th November and by the end of the month the rev
What a load of rankers 2007-12-20 09:15:35 Christmas is almost here and sales are tailing off proportionally, I’m here trying to shake off a cold, what the southern wusses call ‘man flu’ (thats alienated me at the next g2g lol), I’ve done my accounts to try and take my mind off it but that didn’t work so in the quest for something more mind numbing I have taken inspiration from this article Useless SEO bloggers who can’t even rank first for their own name by Patrick at Blogstorm, I have taken a look at my blogroll to see whose UK affiliate marketing blog ranks highest in the Google UK results for their first name (Christian name, fore name, etc).
I am only going to highlight those I have found on page 1 of the serps.
In reverse order:
Nadeem - 7th out of 133k results.
Jess - 5th out of 475k results.
Keith - (couldn’t leave my self out) 4th out of 852k results.
Kieron - 3rd out of 420k results.
Jason - 3rd out of 835k results.
And the winner (no prizes for guessing)
Fraser - 2nd out
