Adsense Alternative: ClickBank's HopAd Builder
Monday, 01 March 2010 09:12

If you are in the market for an Adsense alternative; ClickBank has a new tool called "HopAd Builder" that automatically generates ads based on a given keyword. The results are delivered in typical PPC text fashion but also gives you the choice of using a tabbed style.

I like this tool because you don't have to hunt for products you want to sell but clicks are not reported in ClickBank's stats, only sales. The presentation options are very flexible (more so than typical PPC advertising models), however, you have to manually enter your affiliate ID or miss out on commission.

Overall, the affiliate product + PPC style mashup is a nice alternative. My only concern is not being able to track where the clicks go to take a good measurement of how effective HopAd is.

To use the tool, login to your ClickBank account and look for the graphic similar to the above.

1 Word to Domain Investing Success. What Is It?
Monday, 05 October 2009 00:12

Only (1) word is the key to domain investing success. Is it development? Is it flipping? This word is simply the core foundation in our industry. You might have heard it before but paid more attention to cooler words such as monetization or parking or end user. However, this (1) word: if you make it a priority you will discover true domain investing success.

My first newsletter will reveal this word.  If you look to your right, you will see a "Development Tips Newsletter" box. If you are new to the domain industry or want help stepping up to the next level, this newsletter is for you. I like to mentor and I will be doing a lot of it to my subscribers.

Think you know what this (1) word is? Feel free to comment below with your opinion.

He Said It on October 17th, 2007

And yet here we are almost two years later. I was browsing on Frank Schilling's blog to see what I could dig up. You would be surprised at what still applies today. I came across a particular post titled "A Content Site for Every Domain Name.. Powered By Yahoo!" which lists a few sites such as Dress.com, DiamondsDirect.com, etc all in similar methods to the product I provide. Actually, it was stumbling upon Dress.com a few months ago that inspired me to create alternatives to domain parking. However, I forgot about the post and was glad to find it again.

I would recommend revisiting Frank's blog if it's been awhile for you as it has me. He always has amazing foresight into the domain industry.

 
One Step at a Time

Even before I knew I had Hashimoto's Disease, I wanted a healthier body. A couple years ago, I would make goals to wake up the next day and immediately begin exercising, eating right and feeling great! But it never worked out that way. By day three, I was back to my old habits.

However, last year I started by replacing all canned foods with fresh vegetables from the grocery store. I started shopping at my local market for homemade spices. This year, I gave up soda, sweets and fried foods. A couple months ago, I started doing Pilates. This week, I gained a walking partner.

How does this relate to domaining? No matter what your goals are in the domain industry; you cannot get there overnight. It starts with the little decisions you make every day that add up over time. You won't wake up rich. But there is something you can do today and tomorrow and the next day to work toward your goals. It is easy to say what you want as an end result. But if you expect these things overnight, you set yourself up for failure.

Five years are going to pass anyway. What are you going to do today to make yourself a success in 2015?
