Well, you could imagine my surprise when I look up to see that I had walked right past a dude dressed head-to-tow in an awesome neon green drag outfit. I guess Nottingham is having its first ever gay pride parade today. Read more…

Google Taking Out the Ruler and Spanking Affiliates – Again.

July 23rd, 2009 Eric

Anyone doing pay per click marketing for any length of time knows that Google Adwords is the main playing field if you want to get serious traffic quickly. You would also know that setting up Adwords campaigns is complicated and often frustrating due to the fact that Google is less than forth-coming with all of the rules you’re supposed to follow if you want to compete in their auction-like pay per click advertising program.
