This was very worrying, so [...]

David Hawk is wrong - the Affiliate Marketing Industry is alive and kicking
David Hawk is wrong, wrong, wrong. His recent article entitled “How the affiliate marketing industry killed itself” is so biased to the bad apples of our industry that I can only assume it was wrote as link bait. What also saddened me was people like Lee and Linda agree with him, surely you don’t guys? Anyway, [...]

I meant to post about this a while ago, but forgot. Anyway Dfinitive.com posted a few weeks ago a list of the Top 30 UK Affiliate Marketing Websites according to Alexa. It was cool to see that mine was the top blog listed.
I was also pleased to see that out of the 28 blogs listed [...]
Updates - Back from holiday

The hotel is huge - 8 pools, 16 restaurants/cafes etc. and a really fantastic place to stay. The service was excellent [...]

Guest Post 2: How to make agencies your sucka
Welcome to my second guest blog post. Seeing as I had some insight from a merchant in my last post I thought I would ask an agency to pitch in for the second guest spot. There’s always a lot of bad karma about agencies in the world of affiliate marketing, mainly because many are crap. However, now [...]
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.
