Not long after I posted about How To Be A More Profitable Affiliate, Super (with a capital ‘S’) affiliate Rosalind Gardner commented on some recent changes in the world of Google AdWords.
Apparently, thin affiliates are literally paying the price for their value-free ways…
If you read Rosalind’s follow-up on the Google AdWords saga, you’ll see that she tears a new one for the theory of another super (small ’s’) affiliate who claims that there’s a link between Google Page Rank and the likelihood that an affiliate will be hit with the Thin Affiliate Excess Charge.
Rosalind doesn’t name the super affiliate, but leaves enough clues to find a very likely candidate.
Anyway, on the prime candidate’s blog, several respondents have piled in with their two cents and the super affiliate said he’d follow up in his blog entitled “Boy did I get it wrong!â€
There’s nothing quite like controversy to get people talking, eh, marketers?
As for the title of this post… When I first stumbled into the world of Internet marketing, one of the things that tickled me was the language used. John Delavera’s called his recent affiliate pep-talk, the “Turbo MEGA Event”!
Reminds me of how we used to talk as kids… Super-duper-mega-fab-turbo-sonic-boom-with-wings-on…

With escalating costs for Google adwords for popular keywords, it is getting important for affiliates to rely on some other sources of effective advertising. Blogging can be one of them. And if they still choose to go for Google adwords they better select the products which have high quality content websites. And to reduce their advertising budget go for keywords which are related to some latest hype but not so popular in overture or google keywords sandbox.
