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.
What’s also exciting is it shows elements of what the redesign of UKOffer.com will look like. That’s [...]
e-consultancy affiliate round table event
Had a very enjoyable afternoon yesterday at the e-consultancy affiliate marketing round table event in London. Despite there only being 12 seats originally it was fantastic to see around 30 people attend in the end. The affiliates were represented by myself, James from Flightmapping, Keith Budden and Clarke who was also wearing his Paid on [...]
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 [...]
Phone call of the day…
9.15am - office phone rings…
“UKoffer, how can I help?” In my posh “business voice”“Hello this is Jurgen from Sweden”“Hello Jurgen from Sweden, how can I help?”“I hear you are a top affiliate from Tiscali, can you tell me how many customers you generate a day”“No”“OK, can you give me some tips then on how to [...]
Fully Loaded
After about 3 months since placing my order my Cadillac Escalade finally arrived in Sunderland last night.
This 6 Litre, V8 petrol guzzling beast is an absolute beauty to drive. I’ve been putting it through it’s paces today and even on an uphill stretch of motorway doing 70mph there’s still loads of torque when I put [...]
PPC bidding on brand names
There are some really short sighted affiliates out there who shouldn’t be allowed near a ppc search engine in my opinion. Case in point, there is currently a very popular merchant online who allows brand name bidding with no restrictions. Now lets say their top bid on Overture is 20p, I always bid 20p or [...]
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 [...]
Changes to Google AdWords policy?
I had one of my long running Google AdWords campaigns suspended yesterday, the email alerting me to the fact went something like this….
Ad Issue(s): Violation of Affiliate guidelines - Bridge page

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.
