Think Visibility

Went to see Yoast at Think Visibility 2. Was well worth the trip up the motorway and was well organised and fun.
I enjoyed Yoast's presentation and Julian's from the Telegraph and Judith Lewis's talks. The afternoon was also fun with Tom doing lots of fun graphs showing how important it is to make things easy to interact with. Then Zoe's talk was good.

Expired banners - things not to do

Do not send me a list of 90 numbers of expired banners and ask me to change them. It's tedious and very frustrating to waste time doing this.

Why?

Because I don't direct link to any graphic - all my banner links go through a network's database/tracking system.
So why should I need a change at my end?

Because going through 90 searches take an awful lot of my time and energy.

Because you could tell me which banners I use and on what urls and then I'd not have such a big list to go through, or at least be pinpoint accurate in what I was looking for.

I've got a useful code searcher that will go through all my sites looking for a number or url so although it's a chore it is possible. Just doing 90 is a bit silly as I know I've never used anywhere near that many banners from this merchant

So comon not worth mentioning the merchant

If you recognise this snippet of email, I'm not having a go specifically at that company. But more of a general go on how companies act:

The following have been removed:
• Fashion
• Toys
• Baby

To be replaced with:
• Beauty
• Men
• Women
• Baby & Child


Note the use of the "have been removed" so you need to update the links like yesterday.

Thanks for the notice and the slightly strange removal of the toy category so need Christmas. Ah well.

Things I like

Emails that say "congratulations we've approved you on this program, and to help you here's a basic text link"

This is very useful! Thank you.

Ask questions

I'm going to ask every blinking question I need to in that networks section just to make it clear how much I dislike using it, how little it offers affiliates and how rubbish is it compared to places like affiliate window.


It's really frustrating having to spend time moving merchants links but is a million times worse when you have to then try and work out what to replace a really useful widget with.
