Ooops I Made An Affiliate Sale

Posted November 27, 2007 , By webmann

Sometimes I don’t know when to quit. I am an early riser but I am also an early to bed guy. When I go brain dead at the end of the day I usually don’t continue working on my blogs because I have done some pretty lame things when half asleep.

As an internet marketer and blogger I am always looking for better ways to make money online by improving website traffic and keeping my readers reading longer.
Well a few days ago I was reading one of the blogs I follow daily and saw that they had a new wordpress template and it looked a whole lot more professional that the current template I was using on one of my gardening blogs. I had to have it so I could modify it and use it myself.

Normally I don’t work once my brain shuts down for the day but I was eager to try this new template so I stayed up until I had the upgrade complete. The new template looked great but for some reason my adblocks and inline text links didn’t show up but I was just too tired and thought I would take care of the problems in the morning.

I went to bed thinking I should have stayed up and fixed the problem but I quickly dozed off and woke to my first every affiliate sale on that blog. Why was that??

Uglification and Clutter of a Blog or Website Can Be Affiliate Sales Killers.

I use Google Adsense alternatives like Bidvertiser.com and FindIt-Quick.com, I also use inline ads from Kontera.com as well to display ads 24/7. While this method of advertising does make me money I feel it UGLIFIES and CLUTTERS my blogs.

When I arrive at blogs that are as UGLIFIED and CLUTTERED as mine I usually don’t stay around long.

I am going to remove the adblocks and inline ads from a few of the other hobby blogs I have that don’t make any affiliate sales to see if this changes for them as it did on my garden site. Stay tuned…
