Weekend thoughts and blog links
I found a few things on various blogs that you may not have seen, so I thought I’d link to a few today:
ShoeMoney video
Now I get a few freebies but nowhere near as many as Jeremy, take a look at his video. Love the PIMP cup!

Affiliate Noobs
Oh Oh! Spotted this contest over at SitePoint.
Splitting up on Facebook
Don’t you find it rather sad when you see somebody’s relationship status change like above? I know we live in a social media world where we are encouraged to share our thoughts and feelings but when I see this I always feel a bit bad for the person involved (in this example above I’ve blanked out their name). Maybe I’m just feeling like this as Valentines Day is around the corner.
Wordpress Revolution Theme
The excellent WordPress Revolution Theme now has an affiliate programme. You can earn anything from $20 to $100 a sale. Nice.
The status of the “Make Money Online Blogosphere”
Mark from 45n5.com did a video about the state of the “Make Money Online Blogosphere“. Good fun, interesting that “affiliate” is the second most popular word used in blog titles. In his “Top 100” blogs (which currently lists 287) I’m at number 40.
Reality Check - Make Money Online blogs are hard work!
While we’re on the “Make Money Online” theme Darren Rowse wrote a great post in response to the Wall Street Journal’s article revealing that his earnings from his blog are in excess of over $250k per year. Darren’s post is a sobering reality check that all me-too make money online bloggers should read before launching a blog to earn some “easy” money.
Justine reviews Cloverfield - kind of
Funny, but I also worry for her sanity. Would you go to the local cineplex with her?

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.

I agree with the relationship change on facebook - It’s amazing that we even notice that small piece of text change if you think about how much other content is on the page! Just shows the power of ad placement and where visitors eyes wander.

Reading the above link to making money by blogging: most important point is that if you are going to make money, you are not going to make it quickly (or easily). Worth remembering in case we forgot.
