Summer’s here - 10 tips on how to survive the quietest time of the year

Dragons Den series 6 - well done to Hamfatter and D4M
Great to see Dragon’s Den make a return to TV tonight with series 6. Congratulations to Hamfatter and Dance4MePromotions who both secured investments.

I just wanted to post a quick thankyou to both Buy.at and Sky for a fantastic VIP experience at the British Grand Prix at Silverstone last weekend.

Forget “Content Is King” - “Content IS SEO”
I hope Lyndon from CornwallSEO.com can forgive me from using his quote for the title of this blog post. When I saw it on this article I just had to use it as it’s what I’ve been preaching about for years now. Lots of people ask what it takes to launch a successful website/blog and [...]
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.
