Plasma.co.uk
I had a very legal looking document arrive in the post today saying “I am pleased to accept your offer of £7,600 for the internet domain plasma.co.uk”
At first I thought it was some sort of scam and was preparing to throw it in the shredder. But then I remembered a good few weeks ago that [...]
Credit Card affiliate sites - in trouble?
Today I received 3 emails informing me that Accucard, Create Card from Lloyds TSB and Goldfish credit cards will all be closing their affiliate programs in early May. This is after More Than, Texaco, EasyMoney, Citi Cards and Goldfish closed their programs in February/March. And don’t forget Barclaycard pulled their program last year.
So this begs [...]
CPA reductions and how to generate more revenue streams
Over the last few weeks I’ve noticed a worrying trend in some of the niches that I operate in.

I’d like to thank Clarke and the guys at Paid On Results for sponsoring the Glasgow Affiliates 4U Pub Meet last night. The guys outdid themselves with a free bar all night as well as free beer mats and keyrings! Nice. Seriously, it was a great night and it’s always good to meet up with [...]

For any [...]
Payment - late again
Got very frustrated today with one of the agencies that I do business with. We have had a business relationship for about a year and a half now and each and every time I invoice them payment is always late, and that’s even on 30 days terms. Anyway, last month, enough was enough and when [...]
First Post!
Well this is my first post since jumping on the blog bandwagon. I’ve never been one for keeping diaries but something about having your own blog on the web appealed to me. I must admit I knew nothing about blogging really until the weekend just gone whereby I happened to stumble across this blog from [...]
Welcome to my blog. My name is Kieron Donoghue and I run UK Offer Media Ltd. I thought it would be fun to post a daily (well hopefully daily) blog, writing about my experiences in Internet Marketing and more specifically Affiliate Marketing. I'll include some personal stuff too, probably about my other passions, music and cars. Please feel free to post your comments and thoughts too.
