Past month has been the busiest of my life. Sold my house (officially closed Friday) so I was packing that up 5-6 hours/day. Also brought 4 new people into a company of mine, so between those two things + affiliate marketing…no time to blog even if I wanted to.
Just don’t want anybody thinking I was pulling a fakeout…coming back with a few posts and then vanishing again. I’ll have time to post again this week, going to finish that split testing mini-series.

Just going to do a quick think out loud session here right now with myself and you guys.
Now maybe it’s just me (but it’s most likely not), but if I have a good Adwords campaign running (meaning good volume) and I pause it for a little while, a lot of times when I restart it up the volume is crap. For whatever reason they just quit giving the campaign impressions (this happens more with the content network than search for me). We obviously want to be able to pause our campaigns but avoid having them be killed off.
In walks day-parting. With this feature in Adwords, you’re allowed to run your campaigns specific times throughout the weeks. So for example in a financial niche conversions are generally lower on the weekends, so you may want to pause the campaign then. We can do this in Adwords and it’s a great great feature.
So my idea is: instead of pausing a campaign, why don’t we just go into day-parting and turn the entire week off? Will this create a different glitch sort of effect in Adwords where it will still consider the campaign “Active”, but paused at the same time? And when we turn the day-parting off, will the campaign resume like it normally did before?
Could be interesting and I may try it soon…

So a new affiliate network (well recently redesigned, reowned, and revamped) is out there and it’s run by a real super affiliate, that network is Ads4Dough

Ads4Dough is run by smaxor, who frequents the Wickedfire forum. He’s a legit super affiliate and I’ve met him and real life and he’s definitely a nice guy. His idea behind A4D is one that I actually thought about and have wanted to implement for a long time. He’ll tell you as much as he possibly can about his network and offers, his payouts, margins, advertisers, as much as he can. Although I haven’t personally driven any traffic yet, I’m sure I will eventually (actually I have an offer in mind right now).
This industry needs a network run by affiliates who can understand and communicate both sides of the spectrum. I’m not sure but I think A4D is working on building their own tracking and moving away from DT – which seems to be the trend now.
Like I said I’m not vouching on what I run with them, but on the people running it. The least you can do is sign up and chat with your affiliate manager or smax himself and see what they can do with offers you’re currently running, or new offers.
