iJango is the Scam Da Jour Like Google in the late 90’s

commentary:

From time to time, I will write a comment on a blog that is so damned long, that it just doesn’t make good blogging sense to publish the thing as a comment. I say if your comment grows beyond 1000 words (for me) or maybe 1 quarter the length of the original article for your average person that is more sane than I am, then you should publish it on your own site!

So today, I read this great article by Jon Payne titled

Twenty Percent Conversion Rates on Amazon Associates – WTF!?$

Brett Bumeter — Mon, 23 Feb 2009 15:44:00 +0000

commentary:

This week I experienced a fluke. I had a run on sales of books on my Amazon Associates account. I experienced 20% sell through from clicks. That was amazing. I’ve never sold anything through Amazon Associates before, and I’ve dabbled and worked at it for over 3 years.

I’ve tried a number of things over the years.

I read a lot of fiction books, and I’ve tried writing reviews of the books that I have read myself, while including a link to the book on Amazon. Result – Zero Sales.
I’ve tried covering movies and DVD’s...

eComXpo 2009 January 28 – 29 – Virtual Trade Show on Ecommerce and Affiliate Marketing

Brett Bumeter — Thu, 22 Jan 2009 22:10:03 +0000

commentary:

The eComXpo is a great online tradeshow that you can attend from the privacy of your home. I just got back from Vegas where I attended 4 different trade shows in 8 days and I probably walked at least 100 miles that week!

With the eComXpo you don’t have to walk anywhere, you can meet lots of people and don’t have to worry about catching a cold or anything either. read more

AirTran Takes PayPal Broadens Acceptance to Web Professionals

Brett Bumeter — Fri, 26 Dec 2008 16:56:00 +0000

commentary:

I noticed an interesting little tidbit on an email from AirTran this morning. About half way down the email they had a little blurb stating that AirTran now accepts PayPal.

Now as a internet publisher and blogger, I receive a large portion of my income in the form of payments through PayPal. Even a great deal of my consulting work is paid via PayPal.

I also travel a significant amount and typically pay for my travel expenses with PayPal. There was a time, when...

Cyber Monday Sales Hit $733 Million

Brett Bumeter — Wed, 28 Nov 2007 05:21:49 +0000

commentary:

Cyber Monday sales hit $733 million on this year according to market research. That was over a 20% increase in sales from last year. A large part of that growth related to sales that took place with big-box online stores such as Wal-Mart, Target, and of course Amazon.com.

Black Friday sales may be decreasing, but those sales are likely to be shifting from the big-box stores themselves to the big-box stores websites. Meanwhile, all those small websites that helped pave the way...
