So I received the following email today from some guy named Chris Abraham:

On behalf of the gang at PPP I wanted to help you get rid of ReviewMe as the middleman and do it direct with PayPerPost Direct, www.payperpostdirect.com. PayPerPost Direct would allow you to keep $90 for that post rather than the paltry $50 ReviewMe is paying you.

Check it out at http://www.payperpostdirect.com. Feel free to ping me any time if you have any questions - or for any reason, for that matter. The official announcement is on the PPP blog, http://blog.payperpost.com/2007/05/payperpost-direct-overview.html.

Cheers,

Chris

What a great strategy.. login to a ReviewMe account and start spamming all of the ReviewMe affiliates to get them to switch over to your service. Nice! Yeah, I may not agree with that fact that ReviewMe takes 50% of the revenue but hey its better than nothing right? Chris, I do appreciate the help but please don’t go around spamming people about it.

I am very excited to write that AuctionAds has launched today. I know ShoeMoney has been dropping hints every now and then about this. AuctionAds is a joint venture between ShoeMoney Media and MediaWhiz which is TLA’s parent company. AuctionAds is very simple to setup, kind of like Google Adsense. AuctionAds is basiclly a creative implementation of eBay!’s affiliate program.

My only concern with AuctionAds is how will they do once eBay! launches eBay AdContext? What if we can reach the higher payout tiers on our own? Should we still send AuctionAds our traffic?

Since Overture’s keyword research page has been pretty flaky these past few weeks, just wanted to share this free keyword research tool by Wordtracker that I have been using quite a bit. I have used Wordtracker’s free keyword search tool in the past, and back then it only displayed 15 keywords. Now it offers 100 keywords which you can then digg deeper into your keywords. The quality of results from Wordtracker has always seemed to be much better than Overture’s tool.

If you find the free keyword research tool useful like I do, then you should defiantly consider upgrading to the full version which will help you get more projects done with the best keywords possible!

Amazon has announced that affiliates can now earn 10% on Unbox referrals. There is no limit to the number of items on which referral fees are earned. Building links to Amazon Unbox downloads is the same as linking other products on Amazon. Below is a description of Unbox from Amazon:

Amazon Unbox allows you and your site visitors to purchase or rent your favorite movies and TV shows to download and watch on your PC – all in DVD quality. High-quality video downloads are the next big thing and Amazon Associates can be a part of this exciting innovation.

Seems to me that Amazon is a bit late in the game as the Apple iTunes store has been doing the tv downloads for a while now. Apple also offers an affiliate program for iTunes, not sure how well it does though.
