Late Night Internet Marketing with Mark Mason -- Affiliate Marketing Tips, Online Business Advice, Email Marketing and SEO
This week I take time to say “Thank You” to everyone that has made the effort to welcome the show back on the air. The feedback help, and is much appreciated. I talk about an interesting discussion that I heard on Mac Break Weekly some time ago regarding affiliate marketing and iOS9 ad blocker impact on advertising. Also in this episode, there's a new internet marketing fortune cookie about taking action now, and a tech tip on Google Analytics.
Show Notes
Here are the highlights of the things I have shared in this episode:
* “Live, think and act for today. Tomorrow may be too late.” – Late Night Internet Marketing Fortune Cookie of the Week.
* I share my thoughts on something I heard from Mac Break Weekly: iOS9 and its ad blocker capability. Ads can sometimes be a pain and can affect performance as well as overall user experience but how can creators get paid if their ads are blocked? This is a legitimate revenue concern so I share with you a clip from Mac Break Weekly so you know where advertising is going as far as content is concerned.
* Why we should not treat ad blockers as signals of gloom and doom but instead, see it as a sign to the advertising agencies and the blogging industry to slow down on ads and do affiliate marketing efficiently and effectively.
* The huge percentage iOS is eating in the market share and what it means to you and advertisers; examples of how affiliate marketing works and why it makes sense to Om and Leo to use this strategy instead in the future that they envision.
* About the recent installment from Google Analytics, Calculate Metrics, its features and all the wonderful things you can do with the tool.
Editors Note: In the episode, I mention (and play a clip from) a “Mac Break Weekly) episode with Om Makik. Actually, that clip is from This Week In Tech, Episode 522 (Show Title: The Worlds Finest Panama Hat). The clip comes from
about 2 hours into the show.
