DotDriven.com » Blogroll http://DotDriven.com Trying to make some cents out of this whole web affiliate thing... Mon, 28 Dec 2009 00:44:47 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9 en hourly 1 Justin Dupre got a kickass new Tatto… http://DotDriven.com/justin-dupre-got-a-kickass-new-tatto/ http://DotDriven.com/justin-dupre-got-a-kickass-new-tatto/#comments Wed, 16 Dec 2009 01:26:34 +0000 BackSeatDriver http://DotDriven.com/?p=55 Ok, I admit it,  lame headline but cool content…

Justin Dupre is having a cool little affiliate marketing contest with Tatto Media sponsoring. The cool part is you don’t have to be a great affiliate marketer to have a chance to win. Sure, it would definitely help your odds of winning but you get entry points for just applying (and getting accepted) to Tatto Media network. Then you can earn more entries for retweeting and blogging about the contest. Of course if you are an experienced marketer you can earn a ton of extra entries by just earning money. For every $100 you earn after signing up through Jusitns link you get 5 extra entries.

So what can you win? The winner will get their choice between a massive 25.5 inch monitor (Samsung SyncMaster 2693HM 25.5-inch LCD Monitor) or a very cool little Eee PC Netbook (ASUS Eee PC 1000HE 10-Inch Netbook)! I’ve been really wanting to get a netbook so I could have a dedicated “business” computer that I can use anytime and not have to share and such and this Eee PC gets great reviews. It would be perfect! Even though the Samsung monitor retails for more, I’d get the netbook anyday. Who knows, maybe Tatto would be willing to upgrade the RAM or something since there is a price difference heheh ;) .

So who is one of the better CPA (also known ad performance marketing networks, or as Tatto prefers: behavioral advertising network) networks that you may not have heard of. There are quite a lot of choices for a publisher when it comes to CPA networks but there are some very obvious differences between a lot of them that many people don’t always notice. For example, rather than just jump on the buggy directtrack tracking system that a lot of networks use, Tatto Media has a custom built tracking system and backend that won’t have the same bugs and downtime that others networks using directrack will. They also have a ton of offers and are very competitive with payouts. They have less fluff in their system so can offer great payouts.

Although I am still just starting running some campaigns (just signed up) I have talked with Mike, who is now my affiliate manager, and he was really helpful and knowledgeable. I’m really looking forward to working with them more in the future.

Thanks to both Justin and Tatto Media for the great contest!

And of course there is the contest post (contest over). Be sure to enter but just don’t do too good…I want to share Justins blog and Tatto but I still want to win lol. Hey, I NEED a netbook so I’m sure you can understand ;)

With all the contest going around you might be surprised that his wasn’t another "Market Leverage" contest. But once he finished that up he figured he shouldn’t deny his readers some of the Market Leverage love so without any time to rest after his last promotion he is already running a new one. And this one IS another Market Leverage contest only it’s not what you have been seeing. Besides for a few lucky bloggers who got to add in the Ipod Touch to their prize list, almost all of the recent Maket Leverage contest have had the same prize packs. Though I admit they were all still some great prizes. But not the cow, he demanded something special.

So, if you want to win a 3G Iphone (the new, faster, Iphone) then you best head on over to JohnCow as he is the only one giving one away thanks to Maket Leverage…at least so far.

Seems sad but there are just a bunch of great contest going right now…more than I ever remember and not just because of Market Leverage. Sure they have done a nice job with contest but there are plenty of other great contest.

Anyway, through the rest of June, TechSuave.com is offering nice alternative to the various prizes out there right now. There are quite a few really great premium wordpress themes on the market these days ranging from $50 to over $100 and more. Not only do they look great but they can bump up the appeal of your blog and make you look all that more professional. Hey, I’m all for free themes but in most cases it’s pretty obvious when you are using a free theme and beyond not having a unique look it just doesn’t come across as professional. I don’t mind as much for this blog but mostly because I am too cheap to get a custom theme done or even just buy one of the great premium ones out there.

Well if I get lucky I may not need to ;) . TechSuave s contest is offering up a bunch of really great premium themes. Pretty much all the best well known theme makers are represented. And all are excellent in their own right.

Whats cool about this contest is it’s actually multiple contest with the prizes spread out. So if you prefer one specific theme you can just enter that specific contest. Or if you wish to go for everything you can enter them all. But this way it lets you concentrate on specifically what you want and improves your odds as more entries will be spread out…at least that is what you want to hope for.  There are also prizes related to traffic and hosting and such. But the main theme is, well, themes.

Here is a list of the various prizes but be sure to check out the contest page to get an idea how they are broken up and how you enter each if you want:

  • 2 Copies of the Elite Wordpress Premium theme from Brian Lovin
  • 2 Copies of the Revolution Wordpress Theme from Brian Gardner
  • 1 Copy of the Video Flick theme and 1 Copy of the TV Elements theme from Jason Schuller
  • 2 Copies of the Mimbo Pro Wordpress theme from Darren Hoyt
  • 1 Year Web Hosting from Reel Suave
  • Unique Visitors to your blog from Mixed Market Arts
  • 3 Copies of the Latest E-book “Work Smart, Get Rich” from The Net Fool
  • Featured Blogger Interview on Bloghology from Search for Blogging
  • 1 Month complete Ad Package from Search for Blogging
  • 125 x 125 AD spot on Tech Suave

Many super affiliates saw the potential to make even more by telling noobs how to make money but some, such as Johnathan, actually seem to enjoy sharing and helping and he makes a point to post good content. Unlike others that post tons of paid reviews and links to affiliate products they don’t use or would not otherwise promote if they didn’t get paid.

Johnathan is in his twenties and already making over a hundred thousand bucks A MONTH. Not only does he seem to have time to make all that money but he is one of the very few blogs that actually post a lot of real and meaty tips and secrets and helps others make money.

Some of the his post that stood out for me:

His great landing page series…

And a few others that are great as well…

and one I like rightnow…

Anyway, if you are into affiliate marketing or just want great tips on how to make real money online then do yourself a favor and head on over to Jonathans blog.

The cool part, besides the prizes lol, is since Jason likes blogging about hot women, among other things, he made the contest fun and let the contestants blog about some fun stuff as their entries.

So, what do I write about to get my entries? I just have to post about which celebrity I would date if I could choose any! Easy enough ;) . So, guess who the lucky girl is…

I have to be honest and say my most likely number one choice would be Jessica Alba. I’ve had a crush on her since I first saw her in the Idle Hands movie. And since it’s cool to know about people (or bands) before they are well known, back then she was definitely a hottie but that was before most everyone knew who she was. BUT, even though I’d still give her a shot at the title, I have to admit that her just giving birth and all makes me feel a bit guilty and I’d hate to break up what seems to be a happy new family just for my little crush.

So, right now, if I could date any celeb it would have to be Natalie Portman. She may not be the most popular, though everyone knows her. She may not be the hottest woman in the world, though she definitely has the looks. But, at least to me, she pretty much has it all. Shes definitely got that "cute-hot" thing down where she can look sexy as hell but also has that really cute "girl next door" look and is still absolutely beautiful even without all the makeup that comes along with hollywood.

Of course my attraction to her isn’t all just physical. Not only is she just beautiful, shes also really tallented, is really down to earth and a really good person in general. She’s definitely the kind of girl you’d be proud to "bring home to mom" and get a high-5 from dad at the same time lol. And yeah I wouldn’t have too much of a problem breaking up a happy relationship for my greedy plans lol ;) .
