Digital Marketing

I was bored last night and I put together some of the top tracks in my media player. Most of you will know a lot of these tracks, some will be new. I might make some more of these in the future as I’ve already thought of 5 or 6 tracks that I forgot to include. Anyway, enjoy. Here’s the tracklist; Drake w/ Trey Songz & Lil’ Wayne – Successful David Guetta w/ Kid Cudi – Memories Dead Prez – Hip Hop Rick Ross – Every Day I’m Hustlin Eminem – Lose Yourself Jay Z – Empire State Of Mind Geto Boys – Feels Good To Be A Gangsta Die Antwoord – Fish Paste Gucci Mane w/ Plies – Wasted Kid Cudi – Day N Nite Crookers Remix Die Antwoord – Rich Bitch Drake Ft Kanye West_Lil Wayne – Eminem-Forever Lonely Island – I’m On A Boat (feat....

I’m back with another case study. As you may remember from my previous ppc case study, I was working with just Yahoo for that campaign. With this new ppc campaign I instead went with Bing, Yahoo and Bidvertiser because I had a bit more money to drop on this test and wanted more data across the networks.

It’s been just a little bit over a month since my return from Affiliate Summit 2010. I was embarrassingly slow writing this post because of business picking up. This did give me an opportunity to somewhat sit back for the past 30 days, and think about what I learned, what changed me and best of all how it affected (or, didn’t affect) my business.

Got this email today from a company that is introducing a new product to help with the analytics portion of OpenX. I know a lot of us use OpenX before moving on to one of the paid ad managers, so I thought this would be kind of relevant to a lot of us. This application, that appears to be free (for now) with forthcoming paid extensions. Doesn’t work with the hosted version of OpenX – only the enterprise and self-hosted version (who doesn’t self-host anyway....

As marketers we know how often we share information with the people we meet. For example, I personally handed out over 350 business cards alone at Affiliate Summit East in just 2 nights and quickly ran out. While it’s awesome to be handing out so many cards and getting my name out there, it does come at a cost – you know that scene in the Lord of War with Nicholas Cage when he’s shooting the gun and every bullet makes a ca-ching noise, handing out business cards is similar – especially if you pay good money to have nice looking cards....
