Re: Selling software and thinking outside the box

I would be curious to see what advertisers would be interested in having their RSS feed hard coded and what the value in this would be. After all, just because you have an RSS feed to a site doesn't necessarily mean that they would be interested.

I imagine that the best prospects would be very closely aligned to the product he is selling. The key here would be what secondary market would jump and how deep their pockets will be.

I posted a small blurb about this as well. I don't follow John Chow and am equally disgusted at his gall for doing such a thing. Then again, he doesn't really mince words about what he is truly about and that is making money. I can't understand how he has such a strong readership. I guess that there are a lot of folks that want or wish to be like him.

Re: Advertising Management Solution – Openads 2.4 Released

Hi Andy,

I was actually looking for something like this to replace my google adsense. I was curious though. I am not a programmer and know very little in regards to installation. Is the install as easy as loading it up into your root file and reading the directions?

Also, one of my sites happens to already have an adserver network that incorporates "zones". But what about having it work in a wordpress theme? Is this possible or will it entail a bit of work working out the themes?

Also, can I set the adnetwork to work like google adsense. In other words, can I create a script that simply inserts the ads whereever I want or will it only be in predefined "zones"?

I don't know Andy...I don't necessarily think that they should link unless they are using a particular post that is relevant to the story.

After all, if I was doing an interview for an article about pets, would it be necessary for them to link to my site on affiliate marketing? I am not taking their side but can understand why they didn't bother with a link. If they had quoted you, I would think that that would definitely warrant a link.

Also, did you give them a place to possibly link to? Perhaps it would have been much easier for them to have placed, "Andy Beard, owner of..." kind of link to reference your site.

I imagine that the print media look at things alot different than most of us who live and breathe the internet. For instance, if I was going to be interviewed for a story for my local paper, the chances of them mentioning anything at all other than my name (what I do for a living, where I work, ect.) is pretty much slim to say the least.

Actually, I talked to someone in one of my niche markets in which this strategy worked out okay for him....However, the language that he translated was chinese and malay. Personally, I am not sure if it is worth the work that it would take to go into it but then again, if you get 50 new daily readers out of this, then it does have potential

I have long since given adsense the boot and personally could care less about PR as long as it doesn't hurt my SE rankings.

Frankly, it is amazing at how up in arms people have become about this.
