Why don't people just drop it?

I did a post a while back about an interaction I had with imagic lab when I was an internet sales manager for Carl Gregory Hyundai. Basically my interaction with an over aggressive salesperson lied to me and the owner was aloof when I questioned him about it.

At the time I asked that a set up fee be waived in exchange for some free promotion at my blog and they shot down the request without even visiting the site. At the time my profile in the industry was not on the radar and the blog was new and did not get much traffic. No it is one of the top blogs in the niche.

I did not make any character judgments just blogged about my interactions with their unprofessional staff and my interaction. Now it looks like he thinks I personally attacked him. The problem is for him his past is as shady as certain "Host" we know and commentators at my blog have pointed out his past before he started imagic lab. I hope I am not the moron he is referring too.

Traffic stats show he of had an attorney to review the content. Now when they try to access the site they get a custom error message. What ws even more funny is when they kept refreshing in an attempt to get past it. I guess they really do not understand technology that well.

Perfect use of junk like this

I revived this blog only for one reason and that is to provide value to others who looking for ways to expand their business. The problem with most internet marketing promotions that require you to recruit other people that the real money makers are at the top and everyone else if just fodder in the machine.

Just the other day I was speaking with a friend that works for a Newark car lot and he was expressing how he needs to find other ways to supplement his income or improve his business. One of the best recommendations that I could give him was to start a car dealer blog.  While this may not be the the end all be all it will allow him to get traffic that he could not get to a typical car dealer website.

Another friend who works for a Loveland used car dealer told me that his traffic has been way up over the last few weeks because of SEO efforts they have been doing to their site.  At the end of the day a strong seo campaign coupled with other online properties it will allow dealers the opportunity to reach out and strike other markets.

What does this have to do with NetAudioAds?  Not a thing it just allows me to use this site for things that can help others not hurt them.  It did its job getting the truth out about their problems before people got burned good thing a few people listened, others are just hanging on chasing a Internet dream.

Harnessing the Power of Squidoo for Affiliate Marketing

For those that have not been living under a rock you have probably heard of Squidoo.  One of the great ways that you can leverage it is to have different profiles for different things.  I have someone I am mentoring on using Squidoo for affiliate marketing and she has taken the bull buy by the horns.

She only has around 20 live "lenses" but they are generating a nice income for her. This special profile she is using only targets geographical automotive affiliate products.  Her content is mostly car buying tips and then pushes lead affiliates.  She made over $500 in October just from affiliate conversions this does not include the money she will make from squidoo directly.

One thing that is a given.  As long as squidoo does not change their terms of service it is an awesome income generation tool.  You can be rest assured Seth Godin will stand behind what he does and probably aready has it in place in the even of his untimely demise squidoo will be around long after he is gone. 

Something to think about before you just jump into any affiliate program or putting your good name out there to promote something.  If you do not have an account at squidoo get one here.

Ok it is time for me to get back in the trenches.
