Nerdy Affiliate Adventures In Affiliate Marketing Land

Meetup202 Collaboration

Posted by JasperP on December 14th, 2009

On December 7-8, all the meetup202 organizers from across the U.S. met up at the Bloosky offices to talk about how we can grow our meetups.  All the organizers talked about what works and what doesn’t work in their meetup events.  It was pretty cool to see how different everyone runs their meetups.

Here’s a mini tour of Bloosky:

Afterwards, a bunch of us headed out to the Hockey Game at the Honda Center in Anaheim, CA.  It was my first hockey game so I didn’t really know what to expect.  I almost didn’t go, but I’m glad I went!

Overall, it was fun and definitely educational.

I’m Elite with Elite Clicks Media

Wow.. it’s been about 4 months since I last posted on here.  I’m still alive and kicking if anyone was worried. =)

Anyway, I just wanted to post about Elite Clicks Media.  I’ve known Ryan Machara for over a year and the ECM crew sent me a sweet surprise.  Check it out:

Ryan has been in this industry forever and they just started a hot new CPA network with *exclusive* affiliate training to go from $0/day to $1000/day.  I’ve watched the first seminar with Greg Davis and it’s really good stuff!

The NerdyAffiliate CPA Offer Search Engine

Posted by JasperP on August 5th, 2009

After messing around with the Offer202 engine, I’ve finally got it working.  I had to mess with the CSS and HTML to get it looking the way I wanted.

Anyway, with this search engine, you can check out the different CPA offers from various networks and see what type of offers are out there.

There are over 20,000+ offers and over 60+ networks listed.  Check it out now:

Prosper202 Mod: LP Clickthrough Version 2

Posted by JasperP on June 15th, 2009

***EDIT (8/23/10) – New Version for Prosper 1.5-1.6 here:
http://nerdyaffiliate.com/pay-per-click-marketing/prosper202-lp-ctr-mod-for-1-5-x-1-6-x

After releasing my modification of Prosper202 with LP clickthrough for Keywords and Text ads, I’ve had a couple of requests to do the referers as well.  It’s been on my to-do list for awhile, but lucky for you guys, someone already did it for me!

B-Scan.net recently released the modification for the LP CTR for referers.  This can be useful for content network and display ads to help determine what sites respond well to your landing pages.  So a BIG THANKS goes out to Tomislav from b-scan.net for modifying that for the affiliate marketing community.

Check out B-scan.net’s modification: LP CTR for referer Mod

***NOTE: IF YOU HAVE PROSPER202 1.3.2, DOWNLOAD THE UPDATE MOD AT: LP CTR Mod for Prosper 1.3.2

For your convenience, I combined the Keywords, Text Ads, and Referer Modification in 1 download.  You can just overwrite the “tracking202/_config”, “tracking202/ajax” and “tracking202/analyze” files.

Download the new version with referers added: kws-txtads-ref LP CTR

Here’s what the top menu should look like now:

Referer LP CTR:

Here are the instructions from the readme.txt file:

1.) Make a backup of top.php in the tracking202/_config folder
2.) Copy top.php to the tracking202/_config folder
3.) Make a backup of index.php in the tracking202/analyze folder
4.) Copy index.php to the tracking202/analyze folder
5.) Copy contents of tracking202/ajax and tracking202/analyze to the corresponding folders (no backups are required since it doesn't overwrite anything)
a.) You can just overwrite the existing files in the _config, ajax, and analyze folders.
6.) Make sure to add the tables below using the SQL tab in PHPMYADMIN in your webhost.

Ad:Tech San Fran and Lake Tahoe Recap (With Pics!)

Posted by JasperP on April 29th, 2009

Wow.  What can I say about ad:tech San Francisco? This has to rank as one of the best trips this year!

Day 1: Hotel Check-in

We drive up from Los Angeles to San Francisco and check-in to our room at around 8pm only to find out that our room doesn’t have cell phone reception! The hotel was kind of enough to let us change rooms with reception.  Me and Nick just walk around Union Square, had some pizza and called it a night.  This was probably the most boring day. lol

Day 2: The first day of the ad:tech!

We only got the expo hall pass so we pretty much spent the whole day there.  We met up with Danielle Nagami, Justin Barr and walked around looking for traffic sources.  The main thing was making new contacts and networking with other marketers in the industry.  I also ran into Diana Lopez, Ryan Machara, James Seligman and some of the tracking202 crew (Roland, Aaron, Nana, Feldo, Steven, Wes, Man, Lorenzo, to name a few).  Also saw Eleah and Shaunti from AKMG as well as Ruck and Michael Durham from Convert2Media.

At night time, we ended up going to the ppc.bz party at The Cat Club and watching the awesome acai berry jello stripper MMA fight.  It was supposed to be a friendly wrestling match, but ended up in a cat fight between the strippers!  We left and ended up getting drunk at the advertise.com party at Ruby Skye and the rest was history!

Day 3: Ad:tech Part 2

We hit up the second floor of ad:tech and met up with Eric Ngo and his friend Brian.  Also met Feldo Nartapura and Yan Zhang from eAdvertising.com and had some interesting conversations (NSFW, lol… well maybe for Yan).   

At night, we went to the very cool Meetup202 at MIGHTY.  It was a cool social event to meet other people in the marketing industry. Wasn’t anything too crazy, just a nice networking mixer.  Afterwards, we went to Advercircus where it was FREE DRINKS all night! That’s when we got all crazy.  Ordering shots after shots was fun. Thanks to Clickbooth for hooking that up!  

Day 4 & 5: Chillin in San Francisco

It was the end of the conference and I already felt like we’ve been there for like a week.  So much partying and drinking every night, but it wasn’t over yet.  We hung out at the tracking202 house for a little BBQ shindig and then toured around San Fran to the Golden Gate bridge and Fisherman’s wharf.  We ended up going to a lounge later that night and playing “I have never…”.  Interesting topics that night. 

On Friday, we left for Lake Tahoe for our mini-snowboarding trip at the Squaw Valley Ski Resort.

Day 6 & 7: Snowboarding and Road Trip

Squaw Valley was insane! I can’t believe they were closing the resort already.  I guess it costs too much to keep it open since no one wants to go snowboarding during that time.  The snow was amazing because it snowed the night before so that was pretty cool.  

Coming back to LA, we decided to just “wing” it on the way home.  We drove to Carson City (which was absolutely BORING.  You would think Las Vegas would be the capital of Nevada) and had lunch there.  We also drove past Mammoth Lakes and stopped to take some pictures.  We almost drove to Yosemite Park but it was closed.

We finally get home around midnight and we slept our asses off.  

The End. 

I just want to give a shoutout to all the people I met at ad:tech:

• Wes Mahler, Steven Truong, Roland Navarro, Aaron Glinski, Man Ma, and Nana Gilbert from Tracking202
• Nick Tumbocon, Joseph Regala, Danielle Nagami, Diana Lopez and Yan Zhang
• Lorenzo Green, Wes Moehlenbruck, Feldo Nartapura, Justin Barr, Christian Popoola, Silver Stoltsen
• Jimmy Ramos and Christian, Eric Ngo and Brian
• Jay Yukes and Danielle Vojta
• Ruck, Steve, MikeD and MikeK from Convert2Media
• Barman, Harrison Gevirtz, Ryan Eagle, and Jonathan Volk
• Frankie Brannon, James Seligman, Scott Elling, Adam Trentacoste, Steve Goltiao and Scott Pae
• Gemi Hartojo, Mauricio Vazquez, Joe Helewa, Allison Marks, Eleah Portollio, Shaunti Beaurline
• … and everyone else I missed! 

All you guys made this one of the best trips ever.  See you at ASE:NYC!!
