    For those of you following along, I’m trying to dominate “Eric Nagel” on Yahoo! Images by uploading some photos of Eric Nagel on Flickr. Photos have been uploaded today; I’ll follow-up in upcoming shows.

        Some of the results are just dumb. I’ll keep working on it.

        Maybe you should work on optimizing “Shawn Collins” :o

    I would be interested to hear your points of view on how your positive or negative experience with a product, or retailer affects your interest in promoting that product through an affiliate channel vs. the simple appeal of a new niche, hot topic or major event.

    Useful WordPress tools for Affiliate Marketing (i.e. themes, plugins, iphone apps, etc)…like how to use tools like Thesis, All-in-one SEO, and Prettylinks to your advantage as an affiliate.

    I’d be interested to hear what platforms and best practices you’d recommend to build the content on a site and if they have any long-term value for use in affiliate marketing for growing revenue. Basic stuff, I’m sure, but good for newbies like me looking to monetize content on a site.

    Another topic to go for the Gold pass…

    Both sides of the track special on

    Try doing some case studies or getting examples from people that actually make a how to earn money quick software work.

    I was listening to a pitch for WPPages.com that has an automated blog service to build out 1k of buying keyword phrase posts.

    It could be a good way to educate people on what to avoid and what might actually work to automate things like

    ping.fm, tubemogul, networkedblogs and things to speed up your time online vs some of the $77 to $97 products out there.
