Sorry to make 2 posts in a row about the same garbage, but I LOL’d when I watched the 3rd Episode of the Top Affiliate Challenge. Jon Van Clute is bragging on how he gets 200,000 targeted visitors at a $2CPM, and then for those “uneducated” affiliates out there, the Top Affiliate Challenge shows us the math in calculating how much Van Clute spends.
They’re real geniuses, great affiliatez math sk1llz!

haaha! nice. you just love those guys, don’t you!
Let’s not forget, Jonathan van clute is NET PROFITABLE!! Take that!
Good call!
He’s definitely an uber affiliate becausehe’s NET PROFITABLE.
Garbage….complete garbage.
They’re all a bunch of big nerds. The worst is John Chow lol. He doesn’t even say anything and totally comes across as a weirdo. Ians cool though.
Again, the only thing worth watching is that hot host…but if she just spoke like a human being, she’d be a much better host.
Hahaha… i love watching the show because its SO bad that its entertaining.
Episode 4 is alreayd online, but I haven’t watched it yet:
http://www.topaffiliatechallenge.com/episode_4.php
I also love that big banner in the top right corner the entire time, covering up the heads at the most annoying of times.
Ok so I watched the first 5 minutes but it’s impossible to watch as it’s so slow.
This is insanely funny, the challenge now is that they have to review the hotel they are in and link to it’s website fom as many blogs and hotel review sites as possible. Wow, I hire Indians to do this for me, they hire “top affiliates” to do it for them. Ingenious :)
where did the find these people? they all look so uncomfortable and seem to be acting fake…
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha what a joke
Wanna know my favorite part? I just LOVE how they mixed a real
marketer (Ken McArthur) with two high-profile blogosphere darlings.
Of course, Ken is kicking everyone’s ass with real-world marketing
techniques and knowledge… I think Chow and Shoemoney are just
oblivious about what’s hitting them.
LMAO
LOL!!!!
lol, thats true man.
they are not top. :D
McArthur, Shoemoney and Chow have REALLY damaged their credibility here… why anyone would listen to them about making money after this is a real mystery.
Well, you all need to take Math 100 one more time. If 1K visitor costs 2 USD, 200K will be $400. There are 13 comments so far. I am the first one recognizing it. I really wonder how you all keep your stats. finances and stay profitable in the competitive affiliate marketing arena.
sure he does if not he wont be talking about the like that often :D lol
oh i forgot same thing applies to nickycakes cos he is in love with paul thats why he talks about paul so much….fuckers! lol :D
just a cute way to generate buzz in the affiliate world although they are getting it since the super affiliates are involved so who is to be blamed? ME!!! lol
I like the little look Van Clute gives as he sneers off the screen after giving his little presentation, LOL!
Yet we are all still watching it!
I can’t believe I didn’t notice that. Such an incredibly basic mistake, which shouldn’t have been made. I’ll admit that I like the idea behind the show and think it’s good in parts, but it really lets itself down in some major areas.
The funniest thing I have seen on the show yet is the episode 4 elimination round where every member of John Chows team wanted to be the one who was eliminated from the contest.
They are desperate to leave the sinking ship that is ‘Top Affiliate Challenge’
I think that was the point of the post… no one really needed to actually do the math, but bravo.
That was the point of Paul posting this…. no one needed to point it out..
I think the point is they are disappointed with the show (like so many others) and don’t want their name associated with it any more..
I didn’t watch any episods. After reading bad reviews about the show, I’m scared to watch them even for entertaining purpose.
Am I missing anything?
That female host is like a friggin’ robot!
You my friend need to take reading 101.
I need to catch up on these and see if there is anything of value in them.
I did catch this and was laughing. :)
Nice post.
I hope you’re kidding…
LOL! Paul, damn, you got me rollin’ with these posts man lol!
Jay
Paul,
Are you secretly endorsing the TAC, I noticed they said your blog and click consultants in today’s episode with the list of top 20 sites for affiliate marketing, they didn’t mention the DP forums which was very strange.
i dont think he is. heh
why are we indulging in something that is sooo bad
dang, i know. she is really really annoying.
hahaha, he always gets me rolling with them too =D
Well that is $.001 per visitor, but spending $200 on traffic is just stupid. Now if he does make up for it with adsense, affiliate offers on his site, and paid advertising, then it would pay off. I would pay $1,000 a month on traffic if I could make $3,000 a month off of it. I guess it is trial and error and depends on the site. Paul, Mr Money Bags, test it out and see if it helps :D
