Itâ€™s March Madness time!!

Here we go again!

March is a great time for me it is what I thought about when adding a huge plasma to my office a couple of years ago. Last year I had the pleasure of watching round one from Oklahoma with my buddies from Ndemdand affiliates. This year I will most likely watch round two live in California. So , If i seem distracted over aim for the next 2 weeks you will know why!

As I was watching some of the games this past weekend it really got me thinking about team work and how a team works so much better when they are all rowing in the same direction. When building a team whether it is 2 people or 2000 it is very important to make sure each person has a say in descisions and feels like they belong to the team. This strategy has helped our team dramatically become more effective which in turn makes everyone in the organization happier and wealthier 🙂

My Final Four prediction…

Duke
Marquette
Kansas
Pitt
Sleeper to advance at least one round : UNLV

Twitter Marketing

Several people have asked me for advice on marketing on twitter. I personally use mylikes.com and have for over a year now. The key to it is not to overbid and to also understand how important your message is as a untargeted general message willl just get a ton of clicks and no conversions. The other thing I am doing is organically building niche twitter lists with a combination of retweets and follows.

Facebook blocks domains UPDATE

For months on end I have been battling “click fraud” from Facebook I have emailed them numerous times and have to date not gotten a sufficient answer. Now I know why it is happening

It seems that Facebook subscribes to a email reporting service that lets them know in real time when a url has a complaint about the link being used in a unsolicited message. Clearly irrelevant in my opinion but I guess whoever sold them the service did a good job 🙂

The result is even though the tracking links are fine and ads are approved if at any time any of those domains gets a complaint , say a mailer picked up a link put it in a program and sent email resulting in a complaint then anyone with that link in their ad would still be charged for clicks but the ad would not go to a landing page. it instead would show this error:

Click to view larger

And Facebook does not tell you anything they just keep ringing up the charges for clicksâ€¦.this can go on for months if unmonitored.
While looking deeply into this I figured out some other helpful stuff…

	A little known fact is facebook targets by user defined profile data so when you buy ads it displays them not by actual location at the time when they are displayed, resulting in people on vacation in letâ€™s say Mexico being able to see and click the ad but then the ad redirects as most offers are geo redirected out of the area where the lead does not qualify. This may account for up to 8% in wasted click costs. The fix? There is not really one except ask your affiliate network to remove all geo targeting on campaigns you are running so everyone can see your page.
