Tracking Outbound / Affiliate Links with getClicky
I use Clicky for most of my day-to-day tracking and analysis, only using Google Analytics for the harder analyses. One of the things Clicky can do most wonderfully is track outbound clicks. There’s an issue however when you start routing your affiliate links through a script or on-site redirect. I redirect mine through /out/ here [...]
Event tracking, bounce rate and affiliate marketing
Apparently, the way event tracking tracking works in Analytics, and how it impacts bounce rate, is still not understood as widely as I expected it to be, and I’m not the only one to think that. So let me explain to you how bounce rate is influenced by (properly set up) event tracking, and how to [...]
Affiliate Links and SEO
Google will always say they won’t penalize you for affiliate links per se, but for thin content around it. I can make this into a long story, but let’s make it short: there’s very good reasons for me and several other highly respected SEO’s and affiliates around the world to think otherwise. Let me show [...]
Making money online – increasing profits
Making money online isn’t too hard, if you’re a web developer like me. You just sell yourself for a certain hourly rate and if you’re any good, projects will flow in. That’s what’s been happening for the last year for me at least. I started AlthA Web Design, and I’ve been swamped with work since. [...]
Kevin Ryan & Jeff Ferguson of Napster

Combining SEM and Affiliate Marketing
After a nice session from 11.30 till 12.30 with Kris Jones, who talked about the integration of Search Marketing and Affiliate Marketing (in short: loads of money to be made), I’m now in the “Meet the super affiliates” session. I must say that there are a few people here who really know their stuff, but [...]
Affiliate links? Cloak them!
John Chow did a post on how to hide your affiliate links… Of course the only proper way to hide affiliate links is: cloaking them. I’m thinking about building a WordPress plugin for that specific purpose. Anyone know of a proper affiliate link cloaking script?
AdSense affiliate marketing
I guess we all expected it to be coming one day or the other, CPA AdSense, CPA meaning Cost per Action. SeekingAlpha reports they were invited to test this. When you look at it, this is affiliate marketing…
SEO Royale: conference + party in Amsterdam
There’s nothing like a small conference and party with a bunch of SEO rockstars, with so few people around that you’ll get the chance to really go in-depth on your topic. I’ve learned this myself while attending the fabulous SEOktoberfest, by far the most valuable conference I go to each year. It’s small and has [...]
An interview with Matthew Wood of A4UExpo
Next month Amsterdam will see the first A4UExpo Europe, the European counterpart of the highly succesfull A4UExpo conference series in London. I though it would be interesting for all of you to do an interview with Matthew Wood, the genius behind all of this. Hey Matthew, could you quickly introduce yourself and a4uexpo? Sure, I’ve [...]
