Econsultancy affiliate survey 2009

Posted on January 12, 2009 by Kieron

Econsultancy have just gone and launched an Affiliate Survey for 2009. If, like me you’re an affiliate then I strongly recommend that you participate. Why?

Posted on January 5, 2009 by Kieron

I thought it would be fun to make some predictions of what I think is going to happen in Internetland this year. I’ve tried to stay away from obvious stuff like “more businesses will close because we’re in a recession” and have put my neck out on the line with some more specific stuff. Let’s see what happens. 1. Despite my advice we will see loads more affiliate discount codes and cashback sites in 2009. Disappointing. 2. Affiliates in particular … Continue reading →
