Comment on Another Reason to love Paid on Results by Fraser

I haven’t seen any sign of it at other networks? I know some old links I have for TD & Buy.at will dump you on an expired link page or the network homepage.

Comment on Buyagift – Extra Long Life Cookies by Jonathan Swain

Wow! Over 5 years between initial click and sale, that’s really something. I can’t actually believe someone would go that long without clearing the cache and cookies!

Hi,
I don’t understand the advantages of Thursty Affiliates compared to Pretty Liunk and Affilite Cloaker. Anyone ?

Comment on An Affiliate Needs More Than Commission by Vjatsheslav

Vjatsheslav — Mon, 28 Nov 2011 14:18:39 +0000

This is a truly great post. When I was reading I felt exactly what you describe. I even had depression because of this, when you have a day job, you don’t have to worry about those things.

But since you’re working for yourself and only see monetary rewards you don’t feel accomplished. Basically it’s a never ending routine of pleasing Google, I’ve been stuck in my comfort zone (income wise) for a long time and don’t have the desire to push myself forward.

I pretty much have everything I’ve ever wanted so buying that new Macbook, or a new Home Theater doesn’t excite me anymore.

Now I decided to run my own blog, where I don’t need to pretend to be someone else, hopefully, this will keep me interested and moving forward, I am definitely going to learn a thing or two about social media, email marketing and building a relationship with readers.

English is not my native language, so it might be challenging at times.

Once again, great post. Don’t stop writing!

Comment on 123-Reg Problems – Approach with Care by Gavin Wilson

Gavin Wilson — Sun, 11 Sep 2011 16:36:05 +0000

I have just been billed by 123-reg for a couple of websites I no longer need. I’m probably not the first to be deceived by their automated website expiry notices into thinking that if I did nothing, they would automatically expire. Nothing could be further from the truth. The websites get automatically renewed if they have your credit card details.

My complaint, aside from the deceptive wording on the notice, is that it seems almost impossible to communicate in writing with 123-reg. Of course they send the customer lots of emails, but they make it almost impossible to send an email back. Just try finding an email address on their website which will enable you to query an unwarranted billing. I really don’t want to have to call one of their 0845 numbers.

Comment on Toshiba Qosmio G40 Review by Peter

Peter — Fri, 03 Jun 2011 20:59:29 +0000

Hi there, I have the Toshiba Qosmio F40-87DBL which is very similar to the G40. I was just wondering my Qosmio has the twin PCI tuners and I cant get them to work. Would it be at all possible to ask for the drivers to get them going as I don’t have the original recovery DVD. Many Thanks,Pete.

I have the same problem as Dave Weiss: trying to use my domain name with Typepad. Cannot forward non-www version to www domain name. I have to say though, six of one and half a dozen of the other, why does Typepad insist on using only the “www.” version? I previously was with Tumblr which operates the other way round and 123-reg interfaced with that, no problem. They’re all as bad as each other and we poor punters are left scratching our heads that this 1980s creaky technology ever works at all …

I’m not even working in that vertical, all I need to do is grab me some of those magic banners and I’ll be a made man. I won’t even bother putting together a website for them! :0

Now that sounds like the kind of programme that I want to be on! I could easily retire with a 20 sites all displaying these banners! Who knew AM could be so easy!

Who was the merchant?

Comment on 123-Reg Problems – Approach with Care by Brian

Brian — Thu, 24 Mar 2011 15:21:09 +0000

I find it difficult to believe people are saying nice things about 123-reg. I had a number of websites on Supanames and then 123-reg took them over. Ever since then – after an unblemished track record of 10 years – I find that the regular problems with the self-same websites are because 123-reg are having texhnical problems. I have 3 websites on one ‘unlucky’ server – unlucky because it regularly goes offline for maintenance. Unfortunately that affects the MySql dbase and therefor the websites concerned. 123-reg NEVER tell you they are doing this. Further they do this at the weekends – so you cant even phone them up to ask what is going on. Never had an email from 123-reg telling me they have a problem – always comes as an unpleasant shock – and they never seem to report whats going on on System Status as they should..

Jim — Wed, 23 Mar 2011 19:24:38 +0000

I’ve read the comments here, but in my recent experience the 123-reg support has been very good…

Had a problem with my hosting, contacted customer support via the ‘my support page’, got a reply in 12 mins, sent another quiry, got a reply from a different person in 14 mins, my problem was solved in under 1 hour…

I’m actually very happy with 123-reg and no, I’m not an employee, member of the board etc etc

Good one, Fraser. I totally share that shift of focus from being an all-work type of lad to recognizing that family comes first (simply because it is so much more important). With me it also happened after the birth of my daughter 6.5 years ago.

If there’s space for us to work together (while you’re working on those content sites), let me know. I’m always open to new business relationships.

Comment on Discount Codes Podcast by NickG

NickG — Fri, 04 Mar 2011 16:15:17 +0000

Okay, it’s a long time since this podcast was released, but it’s interesting hearing old comments on the industry situation nonetheless.

The last year has definitely seen an increased quality in voucher code site standards and more voucher code affiliates are adhering to merchants T&Cs and the IAB guidelines.

Well done, Fraser, I really like the “what I need to earn” approach to money – rather than “I want to earn more and more…”. It just enables you to live a life, rather than just chase money all the time. And fully agree – family is the no. 1 priority.
