Bizarro World Leaks Affiliate Marketing Bollywood Film Starring Anik Singal

Bizarro World Strikes Back at the Real World!

I just can’t stop laughing. The amateurs pose as strippers for ClickBank products, the felons do sweat lodges and the pros do Bollywood films to promote shit…  I’m not even sure what he is promoting, whatever it is I bet it ain’t free and it ain’t funny what it does to your finances. I’m sorry Anik, I’m sure…

Affiliate Mistake #1 – Using Your Common Sense

Google suggests Oedipus complex

Your are not your customer You are not MY customer either. So stop trying to act like YOU know what THEY want and GO FIND OUT. It never fails. Every time I tell someone what I do with affiliate marketing, sometimes even other marketers, I get this look of “You are so dumb, that will…

Taking Back My Blog

Ever since I removed that plug-in that allowed me to punch in posts from the front page like it was a real-time chat, the amount of posts has gone downhill. We can argue the quality has gone up… One of the reasons for this blog is that I hate Twitter’s 140-char limit… So this doubles…

You’re About to Get Screwed, and You Know It

In one sentence for my ADD friends: We are increasingly playing in someone else sandbox, and the limits are starting to show and suck. FaceBook Largest site on the web. In the future, forget about having a blog outside FB – who will bother reading it when they’re too busy reading the ones already inside…

Microsoft Office 2010 is Office 2007 Renamed

Two lessons on “tooling”: Too many tools will make your problem worse, not better Sharpen the tools that you do have and are being useful I do put my brain within the definition of #2 above – I try to take good care of it, sharpening it if you will, and avoiding needless “damage”… Anyway,…

FUCK YOU GOOGLE – An Illustrated Love Story

WTF Alexa?

How does this wind up on Alexa?? Check this picture below. Its the content of an affiliate manager’s e-mail to an affiliate, smack in the middle of the Alexa page for that domain, on the “related search queries”… What.. The.. Fuck..?

Bitches in Business vs Inferiority Complex Short Dick Men

I’m trying to figure out what I hate the most in my daily business life: 1) Ultra-competitive pussy-flashing ladder-climbing bitches or 2) Little short dudes with type “A-hole” personality and inferiority complexes. I’ve got news for the #1 bitches – Statistically speaking, you’re fucked. I’ve got news for #2 dickheads too… Statistically speaking, you’re also…

“The Drip” Membership Site Management is for Smart Marketers and Retarded Customers

I absolutely hate the “Drip”. We’re talking about the modern membership site’s way of keeping you on forever by dripping you new content slowly. My two reasonably-sounding stories: 1 – I’m a batch person. I’m also a guy (like you couldn’t tell).  Men try to optimize and maximize movements, time, etc – as opposed to…

Frivolous Virtual World Lawsuit du Jour

Again its on Linden Labs. These chaps need to move to Grenada, Norway or somewhere else. Californication is a bad idea. Some folks are claiming Linden Labs led them to believe their virtual land had real property values. Only in America do people expect the courts to compensate and protected them from the damage their…

Outsource With The Force

OMG, if I receive one more email about the “outsource force” program my mailbox is going to explode. Is it good?I don’t know, I’m too busy building shit to check it out. Realistically, I’m not buying any more crapware.

I Hope Google Chokes on an Antitrust Investigation Soon

For some reason, I’m slowly becoming more and more bitter towards Google. It all started nice and well – I loved the Prince Valiant air of the early days. These days, though, I’m going deep into Negative Sentiment Override and I’m seeing everything they do as as either self-serving, manipulative or aggressive. The real trigger…

Scientists have identified the emotions that permeate the weeks of Rat Race 9-to-5 white-collar ass-to-the-leather work. They align perfectly with the Kübler-Ross model – more commonly known as the five stages of grief. Stage 1 – Denial Onset: Sunday Afternoon Typical Thoughts: “Tomorrow will never come. This afternoon will last forever. Monday isn’t happening. Is…

New Fucking Instant Messaging Rule

Do NOT send me a mesage that says “Hi” .. Followed by “Can you chat?”. I am only available for the things that I give a damn. For everything else, there’s WankerCard. It is especially annoying when you have something important to say to me, like: “Your pants are on fire… On National TV, and…
