			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yesterday I was working some affiliate landers and when it came to inserting and importing affiliate links, I found an issue. FireFox and Google Chrome hates affiliate offers.</p>
<p>How do I know this? Simple they specifically told me, or gave me a warning. When I started logging into networks to check out the offer lps. While some brought me to the offer one in particular brought me to an Untrusted license.</p>
<p>This error brought a curious attention to me as it was my first time seeing it from an affiliate offer. Below, is a FireFox window stating the website is untrusted. This tells me it might be a license issue, I viewed the license and then I can be on my way to see the offer LP.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With the rise of <a href="http://j.mp/6IvNmg"  class="alinks_links" onMouseover="window.status='http://www.ianfernando.com/suggest/'; return true" onMouseout="window.status=''" onclick="return alinks_click(this);" title=""  rel="external">PPV traffic</a>, we end up going into a battle with trying to over bid people. It has happened with all the search traffic and it will continue to grow in any traffic source that becomes popular. Since Media Traffic is a popular traffic source for starters and veterans users. The bidding wars has started and sometimes you have to match or overbid a couple times a day.</p>
<p>Now that PPV is getting more and more popular, more PPV traffic networks are rising and <a href="http://suggests.me/directcpv">Direct CPV</a> is a popular one who is growing rapidly. SO fast they want to continue the growth by starting a contest! This contest has a lot of great prizes, ranging form a trip to Vegas to a Cadillac Escalade!</p>
<p>It is a fairly easy to enter this contest as well and use their new ppv traffic source. Before we get into the contest details, I want to give you some information about Direct CPV&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When it comes to marketing online you need to test and test. You have to test repeatedly. Sometimes you do not know what to test. How can you find out what to test without knowing. Well that is the hardest part, you have to test everything! To make my life a little easier I use a web analytic system that is a must to have when doing anytime of marketing analysis.</p>
<p>I use <a href="http://suggests.me/clicktale">Clicktale</a>. Clicktale allows you to see every mouse movement and every click in action. It is just like having a Hulu vision of your traffic. Watching your traffic and how they react to multiple aspects of your website or landing page. It is like being on the other side of a double sided mirror and just watching your traffic do what they do naturally.</p>
<p>The best part is you get to analyze the traffic in real time and see how they react. What are they reacting to, why are they rapidly leaving, why are they on the page so long, etc.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you were at <a href="http://suggests.me/affiliatesummit"  class="alinks_links" onMouseover="window.status='http://www.ianfernando.com/suggest/'; return true" onMouseout="window.status=''" onclick="return alinks_click(this);" title=""  rel="external">affiliate summit</a>, I bet you had a bigger suite case when you were leaving Vegas. Well that is probably because you take all the schwag that is being handed out home. I personally learned that I don&#8217;t need all that crap. I only go grab what I want. Any excess I just leave in the hotel room for the room service to take home if they wish.</p>
<p>Usually there are tshirts that I grab which I wouldn&#8217;t dare wear on the streets of Jersey. So far the only tshirts I rocked out on my block is <a href="http://www.affpinions.com/convert2media/">Convert2Media</a>, <a href="http://adhustler.com">Ad Hustler&#8217;</a>s custom design, and some others.</p>
<p>From the conference, company&#8217;s or affiliate networks use tshirt to do a self promotion of their network or company via a user. Sometimes these shirts can be really dull and/or spammy or most likely corny. You probably seen me with another network tshirts when I do video, but guess what they stay in the house.</p>
<p>Today I approved affiliate.com&#8217;s tshirt. This tshirt is def approved for the streets&#8230;</p>

But it can definitely side track your business because of all the ideas and conversation you had at affiliate summit. I recently got back from ASW and I have a whole lot of ideas I want to run and this past week I ran quite a few and in essence it didn&#8217;t result in what I wanted.</p>
<p>Affiliate Summit is such a powerful conference because you gain so much knowledge from so many people, big or small. Their ideas and way of making money online differs from how everyone does it. The fact how someone makes money online intrigues me because I personally haven&#8217;t done what they have done. Everyone knows a trick you don&#8217;t!</p>

It was my little nephew&#8217;s bday and I decided to just go visit him. Plus it was too cold in NJ that i needed some sun in my life. Well I traveled to Orlando and found out it was cold there too! But after 2 days it started to warm up.</p>
<p>I hanged out with my cousin and my little cousin while I was there. Definitely love my family. I enjoyed just relaxing and chillin with them. I did take one day out of the week to visit a network, <a href="http://suggests.me/clickbooth">Clickbooth</a>.</p>
<p>I drove up 2 hours to Sarasota, FL to take a look at their office. I met up with Eric Schecter and he started to show me around. I first wanted to say what up to my AM, Brittany but her boyfriend was there and he insisted I take a pic with him&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Have you checked the <a href="http://suggests.me/affiliatesummit"  class="alinks_links" onMouseover="window.status='http://www.ianfernando.com/suggest/'; return true" onMouseout="window.status=''" onclick="return alinks_click(this);" title=""  rel="external">Affiliate Summit</a> recap <a href="/2010/affiliate-summit-twenty-ten-day-one/">Day one</a>? or <a href="/2010/affiliate-summit-twenty-ten-day-two/">Day two yet</a>? Well check them out first before you read this one&#8230; but Affiliate Summit is a must go to event if you are in the internet marketing space and more so for the affiliates.</p>
<p>My day 3 started off with going to the blog room to catch up on stats. I then ended up going to the keynote by Brian Clark. Some good points&#8230; one point he made was that the days of ppc are over&#8230; hmmm guess he hasn&#8217;t really worked with Google straight forward. But I find that comment hard to believe.</p>
<p>His keynote was more about content and how content creates the traffic, etc. He described content can be in any form, music, audio, video, etc. How content is portrayed drives the traffic and the demographics for your offer or site.</p>
<p>I just don&#8217;t think PPC will ever die.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The second day of <a href="http://suggests.me/affiliatesummit"  class="alinks_links" onMouseover="window.status='http://www.ianfernando.com/suggest/'; return true" onMouseout="window.status=''" onclick="return alinks_click(this);" title=""  rel="external">Affiliate Summit</a> turned out to be a real busy day for me. I had meetings and interviews back to back. My feet are hurting&#8230;!</p>
<p>So I started off to the blog room to write the <a href="http://www.ianfernando.com/2010/affiliate-summit-twenty-ten-day-one/">post you read yesterday</a>. After that, I went off to listen to the keynote by Dr. Robert Cialdini. His keynote was very informative and had a lot of good things to improve your business. The keynote was base off using words and the pschology of using scarcity, emotions, etc.</p>
<p>I really enjoyed the keynote and was also surprised at the stats he provided with his casee studies. It is definitely something I am going to implement and read on. I know words can affect someone&#8217;s emotion and decision but changing ONE word or flipping a statement can have a huge effect on conversions, especially in our industry.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>First day of <a href="http://suggests.me/affiliatesummit"  class="alinks_links" onMouseover="window.status='http://www.ianfernando.com/suggest/'; return true" onMouseout="window.status=''" onclick="return alinks_click(this);" title=""  rel="external">affiliate summit</a> turned out to be a great day. It started out with the meet market which turned out to be a good event except I found that there was 2 rooms in which I didn&#8217;t think that made sense. I assumed they are trying to fix the traffic issue from the past Summits but I think the way they organized it was way more messy.</p>
<p>Well anyways the meet market turned out to be a good venue. I talked to several new users on their services and I found one that was really interesting. I met up with a bunch of people and found new people as well. It was a best way to meetup with everyone in the industry. I actually enjoyed meeting a bunch of new people and readers.</p>
<p>As well as close friends in the industry.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After reading <a href="http://www.nickycakes.com/reddit-launches-self-serve-ads/" target="_blank">NickyCakes post</a> on Reddit launching their self serve ads, I wanted to test it out. I wanted to test it the day he posted but definitely was way too busy with mad ish to even start it. So I recently tested it out and after testing it out I learned a couple things from the traffic.</p>
<p>If you understand these social bookmarking sites, you can guesstimate what to promote to get the <em>readers</em> attention. I assume the users of reddit are smart users, tech savy, modern day internet users, etc. So as Nickycakes states, they won&#8217;t be all about the acai berry stuff.</p>
<p>But anyways I want to just show you my ad and the result that came from the traffic. I promoted my recent project <a href="http://socialsnipe.com">Social Snipe</a> with a $40 spending over 2 days. Below is my ad that went live on Reddit.</p>
