Well, I certainly got a lot of reaction to last week's review (anti-review?) of Project Black Mask.

Most of it was supportive, but there were a few interesting accusations thrown my way.

To find out what they were and read my response, check out today's feature blog post, “To Link or Not to Link – The Grocery Store Analogy“.

Other posts this week include:

• New at Clickbank: Recurring Billing
• Happy Handbook Reader – comments on the revised SAH.
• Microsoft adCenter Adds Negative Keyword at Campaign Level
• Affiliate Classroom Revamped – Even better but still just a buck.
• SAH Club Members – Please Confirm Your Status – Some members payments did not go through. Please make sure that you have access to the SAH.

Til next time — promote and prosper. 🙂

I've just had a challenging week trying to sort out a problem and it got me thinking about how what we THINK is a problem or challenge may in fact NOT be the problem at all.

I expose the nitty gritty details in the NPT Forum and invite you to share both your challenges and tips.

In other news this week:

• The first messages for the discounted Super Affiliate Handbook have gone out – and there are still plenty to come. We had a bit of a server issue last night with all the traffic, so I'm spacing things out a bit. Please be patient, and stay tuned — I will get to everyone.

• Derek Gehl and I will be doing a teleseminar on Thursday June 14th at 4PM Pacific. I'll be talking about where my online dating service review site is today and Derek plans to share some excellent info for affiliate managers and merchants.

• You have the opportunity to contribute to our panel at the upcoming Affiliate Summit in Affiliates: What Do YOU Want?

• Technorati Tagging Made Simple – self explanatory. 🙂

• Pippy: The Youngest Affiliate Blogger? is a wonderful story shared by Mark Harrison.

• Speaking of problem-solving, my friend John Harricharan has just released an updated version of his best-seller, the “Power Pause“. John says, “There are only 3 problems — money, health and relationships” and has a solution that helps you to solve your problems and achieve real, lasting success in just 3 minutes and with only 3 steps.

I plan to read this latest version this weekend… I obviously need it. 🙂

Til next time — promote and prosper.

P.S. Please share your thoughts, comments and suggestions in both the Blog and the Forum. Always love to hear from you!

I had a rip-roaring good laugh this morning that woke up the rest of the house after visiting Linda Buquet's ‘BootMoney a ShoeMoney Rip Off – Friday Funnies' post and following the link to BootMoney's site.

The whole thing is absolutely hilarious, filled with bogus domain name picking tips, a really nifty Keyword Generator and a foundation for affiliates who suffer from ‘BMS' (Bad-Marketing Syndrome) which apparently is very similar (but not related to) PMS.

But I am most impressed by his car.

Let's hope that if and when he starts giving training seminars for affiliates that he'll take everyone outside and let everyone bask in its beauty. Better yet, he should offer a contest and give the winner a ride! 🙂

Oh boy! I might have to sign up for THAT one!

This is so funny that it will boggle your mind — and you will keep trying it at least 50 more times to see if you can outsmart your foot.

But you can't !

1. While sitting at your desk, lift your right foot off the Floor and make clockwise circles with it.
2. Now, while doing this, draw the number “6” in the air with your right hand.

Your foot will change direction to counter-clockwise like your hand !

I told you so… and there is nothing you can do about it.
