UK Offer Media Ltd.
Finally launched my UK Offer Corporate Website today. It’s not content heavy but merely designed to give potential advertisers a snapshot of what some of my current partners have said about their experience with the UK Offer portal.

That Crazy Frog!
It’s official, the UK has gone Crazy Frog mad. Even more so than it already was, in fact.
Case in point, the Crazy Frog Axel F single looks destined to go straight into the charts at number 1 this Sunday. It is even looking like it will outsell Coldplay’s comeback single by 4 to 1, which [...]

MSN Messenger, TradeDoubler and my new car
No, the 3 are not related, just the title of my inane ramblings today.
MSN Messenger
I logged onto MSN Messenger today for the first time in a couple of days and noticed that I had 3 new contacts asking me to accept them into my MSN list. 1 of them I knew, the other 2 were [...]

Overture
Hmm, bit of a dilemma today. I had a phone call from Overture asking if I would be interested in displaying their search results in one of my sites on a revenue share basis. Problem is that I signed a contract with eSpotting late last year, which was for 2 years, although there is a [...]

Networking in London town (or not)
After the recent networking events in London it was very refreshing that one of the major affiliate networks based in London made the 300 mile or so trip to Sunderland for a meeting with me today. Of course I appreciate that London is the capital and where it is all going on, but I sometimes [...]

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.
