DISQUS

I'll take spam any day of the week. I can't stand telemarketers. Besides the fact that they are annoying, they are usually so pissed off at the world that they act like d%#k's on the phone. They are totally self-righteous and ignorant and I love seeing the big telemarketing companies getting their asses sued off for bad business practices.

Hey Vlad,

Just wanted to say that its been fun visiting your site when you discussed affiliate and internet marketing. I do wish you good luck on your new topic, however, I am going to heed your advice and unsubscribe from your site, unfortunately your new topic just isn't for me. So good luck in your future endeavors

I searched for them by: site:www.widgetbucks.com and only a few results show, and their home page isnt one of them. Google certainly busted them for something.

I thought about taking down my BlogRush widget, but instead I just moved it down to the bottom of my page. I dont spend any time or energy promoting it so I will leave it for now, but if things dont change rapidly I will take it down.
And personally, I have not clicked on a single post on it yet, which makes me wonder how many other people click through. After seeing Jim Kukral's click through rate the other day, me thinks not many

I love Blog Catalog, the discussions are great. I have enjoyed the updates to the site and look forward to any changes in the future.

45n5 comes off sounding like a 4 year old looking up to his hero, John Chow. No original ideas and his argumentative skills are lacking. Boo this man

Terrific article, must have taken quite a while to put it together

You are correct in your assumptions. In my experience, programs that dont employ an affiliate manager don't put any effort or thought into their program. Little to no program support is to be expected, and you never know when they will close their program and you get cheated out of your earnings. Every once in a while there may be a diamond in the rough, but for the most part programs without an affiliate manager are destined for failure.
