So if you’ve been around for the past few days you’ve probably seen directtrack go down a few times. When this happens, we lose money. We send traffic to nothing. Finally there is a monitor to check to see if Directtrack is up. Check out the website here – http://ouraffiliatetools.com/

Make sure you check regularly to ensure the Directtrack servers are up. No more throwing away money!

You heard me, I’m calling out the famous and sometimes infamous Shoemoney! Well not really calling him out, just telling him he needs to step down from his throne as Google Adsense king. That’s right kids! I got my first Google Adsense check.

How and Why? – It doesn’t matter.

How long did it take? – I signed up for Adsense years ago but never really did anything with it. To be honest I still don’t really do much with it, I don’t find it a good way to make money, others will disagree but to each there own. Different things work for different people in different ways. That’s one thing that most newbies don’t understand!

So how much did I get? – I received a check from Google for $128.68. That’s right, I’m rolling big now. Watch out, next month I’m coming after Ryan Eagle and John Chow.

Well I know I haven’t been around much recently. There has been a good reason I assure you. I have finally added a new employee to my business. Here she is, her name is Rachel.

This was definitely an experience. I’m always feeling the effect on my sleep. Luckily so far, she enjoys watching me work :) Hope everyone else had a good weekend!

At Affiliate Summit West West from Tracking202 interviews Jason Akatiff – owner of the Ads4Dough affiliate network.

ASW 2009 Tracking202 – Ads4dough Interview

There is a well known saying “Work Smarter, Not Harder”. This saying is to help people think of how to make their jobs (or businesses) more effective and get more work done by doing less actual work.

I take a different approach. I work Smarter and Harder!

It is very important in any small business that you not only work hard but you also manage your time and resources appropriately. The best way to succeed is to not only maximize your time, but also extend your time.

Many people think that the world works on a 8 hour day. Most business owners know this is far from true. What most people will do once they figure out they can compress there 8 hour day into 6 hours, will only work the 6 hours if possible.

If you own your own business, and beleive me affiliate marketing is a business. You need to not only work more than a regular office employee, you need to work smarter.

Well it looks like many people are finally catching on about the unethical automated re-billing of Acai products. Massive complaints have gone to the BBB as well as many high profile Review sites such as the Consumerist are starting to shed light to consumers on this trend, to read more check this link out:

Careful, Those Free Acai Products Might Come Attached To A Delicious Scam

Now will this effect your Acai sales? At first, it’s highly unlikely. The leads you generate with your Acai sales probably aren’t the brightest lights in the box. Read the fine print on any Acai page and you start to realize the reason for the fine print. A fair amount of people who want the free trial of Acai probably sign up on impulse – most will not want to go to the gym or take part in a normal diet per say. They want the quick way out, this is how affiliates advertise it and market it towards. The demographic isn’t likely to read reviews, they are likely to just jump into ordering a “free sample” instead of doing proper research.

Out of curiosity I looked at some of the fine print on a few Acai websites.

Here is some of the small print from one of those Acai websites;


Trial Periods and Cancellation Policies

You will be charged $3.95 for your free trial.

If you decide you want the product you will be billed $78.98 after your 10 day trial.

The following will be billed to your credit card each month as long as you are on the autoship program

* You will be billed $49.95 monthly beginning on the 50th day after the you ordered, and every 30th day untill you cancel

As part of this trial offer, customer is automatically enrolling in a 24 day trial of Power Tea. If customer wishes to cancel during the trial period and not be billed, customer must call 800-290-4944 or write to Power Tea, 16192 Coastal Highway Lewes, DE 19958. Should the customer fail to cancel its subscription, their Power Tea subscription becomes active and customer will be billed $29.97 on the 24th day after its trial begins and every month thereafter. Customer may cancel their subscription at any time by calling 800-XXX-XXXX

You have the option to cancel this program at any time. To cancel your Auto Ship program for this product, you must phone our customer service department at 1(866) XXX-XXXX

Now after reading the above, it is very clear that they do specify that if you do not return your bottle within 10 days you will be billed $78.98 and then you will be billed $49.95 every month. It may be in tiny print, but it’s there.

To sum it up, this is not the signs of a scam. It is just immortal business tactics with consumers who (as usual) did not read the fine print.
