Debt sucks. Debt sucks bad. I am in debt now, but it has been worth. I went through a phase almost a decade ago where I was so deep in debt, I didn’t care. I just looked for the next credit card application to come in the mail so I could fill it out. By the time that no one would give me any more credit, I owed over $35,000 and really had nothing to show for it.

My method of dealing with it. Stop paying. Move to another state. Wait 7 years. It works, but not having credit for that long sucks.

Some Clickbank vendors let you try their software before you buy it and that’s a good thing. Nothing sucks worse than paying for something first and then not getting what you want. Clickbank will refund your money on any purchase but who wants to go through that hassle. It’s much better to download the software, check it out and then decide to buy. Forget the sales copy. The software can speak for itself.

A new version of Traffic Travis was released today and you can download a free version of Traffic Travis.
From the site:

Adwords is not really set up for affiliates. It is set up for "real" businesses. That was a joke. And I hope you all got it. If you have been in affiliate marketing long enough, you have probably heard about some of the annual paychecks of some affiliates. Yes, you can make more in affiliate marketing than in a "real" business and start making that money quicker, because you get paid for directing people with money to products for sale.

Update: This product is crap. You can read the rest of the post for a laugh or two. I wrote it as I purchased. It is a massive CB mall type site, quickly whipped together. Every template is filled with Latin filler. Don’t know why you need so many files. The only difference between each is the url of the site. This was probably done to bloat the size of the package to make think it’s a deal. For the most part the layouts were decent, but just give me one of each and I will fill in the url. The links to the bonuses are broken. I figured out the urls though. No instructions. Not even a read me file. Just a mass of files to take up space. Shit, I keep updating this update. The WordPress themes aren’t even themes. Just one file. God damn.

Not much time for a post today, but I found plenty elsewhere that should get your affiliate marketing gears going.

I have known about the {Keyword} insertion tag for a long time now. It is one of the tricks to getting more clickthroughs on your ads. Just put {Keyword: Generic Title} in the heading part of your Adwords ad to make the Keyword show up in the headline. Just replace the “Generic Title” with whatever you want to appear when a keyword can’t be used. But PPCHero takes you even deeper into more Adwords insertion tags you may not have known about. I didn’t.
