Record Traffic Day #2

Posted by Matthew Berman On October - 22 - 2008

A while back I wrote a quick post about a record traffic day I had. At that time (a little over a year ago) I was extremely happy with nearly 400 unique visitors in one day. Looking back that seems like nothing:). Since then I have had many more record traffic days but yesterday was my greatest gain so far. Here is what yesterday’s stats look like:

Yesterday (Tuesday), I had nearly 1800 unique visitors to my site!!! Amazing. So far today I am already at about 1000 uniques (at 4pm). I started this blog about 2 years ago and it has come so far. From being impressed by 400 uniques in a day and averaging a few hundred, to 1800 in one day and averaging 1200 uniques. I will keep posting as long as everyone keeps reading:). I get comments on almost every post now, which is my favorite part of blogging.

Sneaky Restaurant Fail

Posted by Matthew Berman On October - 21 - 2008

This restaurant tries to hide its C rating in a very clever way. I doubt I would even notice if I were looking at this place. Is this even legal??

Nintendo Sixty FOOOOOUUUURRRRR!!!!

Posted by Matthew Berman On October - 14 - 2008

I remember when I first got the Nintendo 64. I was so excited I couldn’t even comprehend what I was getting myself into. The first time I turned it on I was in awe over the 3D graphics, which were pretty much the first of its’ kind. Although I was excited, I wasn’t quite as excited as this kid:

This was last week’s new episode of Family Guy and I don’t remember laughing this hard at Family Guy in a while. This is exactly why I love Hulu, 5 seconds of commercials with video on demand. The bird is definitely the word.

EDIT: Hulu removed the video so here is the best part of the episode from youtube.

T3leads (Affiliate Review)

Posted by Matthew Berman On October - 1 - 2008

General
I have been checking out a new-ish affiliate network lately, T3leads. They mainly focus on financial programs from debt relief to auto loans etc. T3leads does not resell generated leads, but rather they directly cooperate with large networks of banks and other financial institutions to create the affiliate program. Just like most other affiliate networks, you get paid by each lead (CPA based).

Backend
T3leads has a very easy to use backend that allows for easy reporting and finding of new campaigns. The high quality of T3lead promo tools ensures high conversion rates in the affiliate network. They guarantee high conversion rates (1:6 and 1:9), but I have not had a chance to test this myself.

Payments
One of the best things about this affiliate network is the payment methods. In the past, I have struggled with shady networks not paying on time, giving very few payment options, and sometimes not paying at all. With T3leads, they give an assortment of payment options including: paypal, ePassport, check, wire transfer, and others. This is a huge plus.

Unique Feature
One thing that really stood out to me was their unique earnings system. Instead of giving a flat rate like most other networks do, they allow advertisers to bid on your leads in an auction-type system, which allows for maximum profit. Look at it this way, if another network is willing to pay $26 for a lead, there’s probably more than one other company willing to pay $27 for the same lead that you may never get to see. That lost dollar does not seem like much, but when you start delivering tons of leads it will really build up.

Bonus’
Just like other ad networks, T3leads gives bonus’ for their well performing affiliates. They offer everything from computers to iPods. I highly suggest checking out T3leads and giving them a chance. I know there are a ton of other affiliate networks out there, but it’s always good to try each at least once.

Try T3leads now!
