December 2007 Reviewed

December was a great month for me. Much of my hard work started to come to fruition and I was earned the most ever. But it wasn't without it's issues.

There were affiliates out there using different target urls and display urls that gave them an unfair advantage over affiliates that play by the rules.

But I did do well as can be seen by my Affiliate Window earnings, which came out of treating users with respect and helping them to find the products they wanted with up-to-date and relevant information. I also showed how important these blogs can play in informing customers and driving revenue.

I continued my move into "White Hat" affiliate marketing but I still could paid attention to the dark ways by seeing the opportunity to spam Google using their Hot Trends tool. But I was annoyed that sometimes it looks like they take an eye off the basics.

I love web 2.0 and widgets and found a nice one that could start to add useful content to sites - that's if you wanted to! I also showed how you can use Google Maps to drive traffic to your site.

I had problems with .com's and Google getting the location wrong because some of them were hosted by 1&1 in Germany - thankfully they came up with a solution.
