Super Affiliate Marketing Blog

I really don’t like updating my blog all that much because it takes away from my daily activities and work schedule. But I will attempt the impossible and try to update it at least 15 times this month. I know some of you are waiting for a few of those make $1M in a weekend posts, but, you’ll just have to wait it out the hard way for now.

Nothing but the stats eh? Well, the reason I dubbed my blog topic as this is because I am working on, well I should say almost finished with the next section of the WickedFire resource area. It’s the Statistics part on the far right on that lovely flash nav bar at the top of the page.

Let’s face it. As an affiliate, or even from the advertiser’s end, we all live and die by our stats. You know what I’m talking about too, so don’t even pretend to deny it. When your stats go up, you have a better day than if the stats are creeping at some low numbers. It’s all about stats it seems. Even for SEO’s and SEM’s, we want nothing but stats. So how can I make your day a bit better other than confusing you with this post? Well, I probably can’t make you earn lots of cash this way, but I can certainly help your floundering ass!

I’ve been compiling, no joke, an absolute shitload of data from a number of very helpful affiliates both big and small, that were kind enough to send me their affiliate stat averages based on campaigns and across a large network of different ad networks. At first, poring over it wasn’t too bad, but being surrounded by numbers for so many hours at one shot can make anyone want to open up notepad and write “all work and no play makes Jon a dull boy” 5 billion times.

Wait, where was I going with this.. Ah yes, blame the Adderall for that last bit, but really, I’m going to be releasing weekly or bi-monthly (that’s every 2 weeks for you retards) documenting the averages, stats wise for the top converting offers, on their respective types of traffic being used. Following me still? I hope so, because I’m not going to explain it much more than that. You’ll basically be getting access to a list of data that none of the networks would ever share with you. This is coming straight in from more than 20 different affiliates of all types of calibers so that you, as an affiliate marketer, can make a wiser decision on which campaigns to run, and which not to run, and for which type of traffic too and from which network to use! Ahhhh so much data!! Take it from me, please!

So yeah, you get all of this for free too, so don’t offer me cash, unless you really want to. Everything like this is always free for everyone to use on WickedFire.com (see, I linkbait plug on my own blog too!).

I’ll have the final data up and running as soon as my programming team gets the section up and running. For now, all of the data is ready to go, and as trigger happy as I am to release it right now, that wouldn’t be very fair, because then I’d have to do it all over again for the boys and girls at WickedFire.

Fine then, you got your damn blog update with useful, or somewhat useful news and information. Now get back to work and stop hanging out on mybloglogs, youtube and the useless forums out there.

I’ll keep this post real brief and simple. We have been given a ton of expo hall passes to Affiliate Summit West coming up in Las Vegas on Jan 21-23 2007 at Ballys. I want as many WickedFire members there as possible. Not only because I want a huge turnout at the conference itself, but because a lot of you really need to go to a conference and do some networking. Plus, let’s face it, it’s a shitload of fun!

So if you are an avid reader of my blog, or know anyone that may wish to attend the event, go to WickedFire, join up if you aren’t already a member, and send me a private message. I’ll respond back with a link and an exclusive code good for ONE free expo hall pass.

If you want to go for the sessions, sorry, but we are fresh out of those $1500 passes, so instead, the best I can do is offer you an exclusive WickedFire 50% discount. So for $750, it’s not too bad of a deal, and not only can you do some networking, but then you can see what I look like in front of over 1,000 people when I do my live audience Q&A there on the 22nd. Greeeeeat.

I do have to mention this too: If you are NOT an affiliate/publisher of any sort, don’t try and get the pass, because it will be void at the door, and that would just suck for you, since it’s probably going to sellout really soon. This offer is NOT for affiliate managers, or any type of employees for any networks, consultants, seo firms, all that garbage.

There you have it. Spread the word, and come to WickedFire before I am given the word by Shawn that they are sold out for the show.

This is a fairly quick and short post, but I figured my blog was a good place to post it at. WickedFire is hiring a few new people. It’s a volunteer position, but if you have a blog of your own that you want to stick into your signature it will give you lots of new readers, and since it’s also a moderator status position, you’ll get lots more credibility and you can add it to your online career resume of success.

The day has come, WickedFire.com Forum has officially surpassed the 1,000 member mark today. The forum is just about 3 weeks old too. I never thought it would explode so quickly either. Feedback about the forum is absolutely tremendous too. People all over the place are plugging it and calling it one of the best new forums around. Most people like it because of the laid back, no bullshit appeal. Webmasters finally have a place to hang out where they can discuss just about anything they’ve been held back on before at other forums. Not saying this is going to replace all of the bigger ones out there, but it definitely does provide a nice alternative outlet for the more hostile/sarcastic chatter webmasters in the industry.

Some notable plugs include that of Beth Kirsch from Lowermybills.com who writes for Revenews.com, Lee Dodd from EarnersForum.com, ShoeMoney on his WebmasterRadio.fm radio show, Shawn Collins from AffiliateTip.com, Aaron Wall of SEOBook.com and tons more.

There are also tons of lurkers who email me with comments and questions. I wish they’d join and become active within the community, but I’m in no rush to have a huge member list. I like the direction the forum as a community is heading, so I’ve decided (from the start) not to apply SEO to the forum. I’d much rather it stay as a fun and viral place to hang out at. We’ll be adding new mods to the forum too, who are all experts in their own realm or niche. These aren’t going to be just some random friends, but people who you have heard of and trust when it comes to advice and wisdom.
Some upcoming additions include a full resource section, industry news feeds, free software/scripts area, and small blog network. I feel that WickedFire has the potential to be a one stop resource for all of your internet marketing needs. Let’s not forget that there will be a paid premium section on the forum that will hopefully kill off every nonsense ebook on the market. The premium section will have a completely unique and original format too. Webmasters who become members WILL make money. There is no question about it. It’s not going to be open to everyone either. There will be a limited number of monthly spots, and a screening process. It’s really not for every Joe Shmoe out there looking to make millions, only for those serious and ready to work hard like I do to make it to where I am today.

In closing, I really am proud of where the site is after this short period of time, and I must say, it’s a lot of fun to run and be apart of. I know many people who are members have been using it as their primary forum to hang out on, and that right there makes it all worth it for me, to know that people are sharing ideas and information without any censorship or crap.

I just posted a new contest on the WickedFire.com forum to increase quality threads and posts from users. I feel like this will definitely increase user activity and also provide the community much needed insight and advice into many topics covering internet marketing.

I’ll be giving away complete consulting to five lucky winners. Well, it’s not really luck because you are going to be rewarded for your participation and quality of content you submit. The contest will run for about 2 months until August 31st. There is plenty of time for people to dig up some quality content and post it with their own spin on it. Non-original posts will not be accepted (ie someone who jacks an article from another site and posts it saying it’s his/her own). Aside for that, there will be one main winner and 4 runner ups. All of the winners will benefit by getting a free 1 month membership to my upcoming premium section when it launches.

Here’s an excerpt from my original thread describing the prizes:

First Place:
A written report AND 1 on 1 phone or voip call with me, personally, discussing how to take your site, or even a new site of yours from a zero to an absolute hero. Any niche applies (as long as it’s legal). I will personally show you how to dominate your site in the search engines. How to continously add good content to it. How to find sub-niches in your sector to get good traffic. How to make money from your site with contextual advertising, CPM ads, and CPA/CPL (may vary depending on your niche). Bottom line, you will make money and get a lot of traffic to your site. You will learn the way I do it, step by step, and no one else will get in your way. You can easily apply all of my techniques to other projects of yours so that you can do it over and over. As the winner of the contest, you will also win a 1 month, invite only FREE membership to the premium section as well.

Runners up prizes:
1 month FREE to the premium section when it launches. You will also get a written up report by me specifically for your website. I’ll list what needs to be changed and how. It will cover revenue generation, traffic generation and keyword research. Plus any new ideas I may get for you to change your site so that it becomes more profitable for you in the long run. 

I’m pretty confident that this will be a good contest and it will also inspire people to hang out in the other sections a bit more too. Well, I’m tired so enough from me for one day. Let me know what you think either here or on the forum itself. The direct link to the thread is here - Wicked Fire Affiliate Marketing Forum
