Tweet I was listening to the “both sides of the tracks” podcast about Sports Marketing, Datafeeds and Traffic Geyser that Jason, Joe & I recorded earlier this week, and realized I forgot a point that I wanted to cover.

Got My Panties.com In A Bunch

March 2nd, 2010 → 10:44 am @ Eric Nagel

Tweet There’s not much worse than screwing an affiliate out of a bonus he/she earned. If you’re going to do this, don’t get caught red handed. Not like panties.com did. I mentioned panties.com’s contest in the Feb-1 both sides of the tracks podcast, “Jason Retires, Contests & Buffalo“. Their bonus was quite simple: We are [...]

January 21st, 2010 → 3:09 pm @ Eric Nagel

Tweet I attended Jim Kukral‘s session at Affiliate Summit entitled, “How to get Motivated for Success” only to hear Jim speak.

Tweet Affiliate Summit continued on Monday, starting with breakfast then Dr. Robert Cialdini’s keynote.
