I agree with what you’re saying to a degree and there are many of the so called “adsense farms” out there. There are also many blogs as you mentioned that completely detract from the main content by cluttering their blogs with as many ads as they can possibly squeeze on a page.

On the other hand, there are many bloggers who have advertising on their blogs that is relevant to the content and placed strategically on their pages.

I truly believe that a happy medium can be produced whereby bloggers can monetize their blogs and at the same time give their visitors the content they are seeking.

I do appreciate your visit and your comments and hope you’ll continue to visit in the future. I wish you all the very best in 2010!

for every professional blogger and super affiliates there are millions who install wordpress, create a half crazed blog, and then stick a bunch of AdSense ads, Amazon links, etc right square in the middle of the actual content; the stuff that is supposed to make the blog worthwhile.

On my websites and my blogs I do not put any ads either AdSense or otherwise not because I couldn’t use the income but because I worry about it becoming one big advertisement and thus disenfranchising my readers.

Despite you indicating that affiliate marketing is not a get rich quick scheme but a long process that takes hard work, do you think that the blogosphere, in general, has created an atmosphere that puts focus too much on generating ad rev than on the actual topic or niche they are supposed to be blogging about?

If a person doesn’t have the dreams of success and financial independence, they should probably try something else. Great that you are half way there. You are doing better than most affiliates.

Your visit and your comments are appreciated and I do hope we’ll see you often. To your great success!

One of the biggest reasons affiliate marketers don’t become successful is: they give up to easily. If you don’t have patience and a strong desire to succeed, it won’t happen. Yes, you do need a thirst for knowledge because this business continues to evolve. You can find new strategies and technology almost daily.

Always a great pleasure hearing from you jj.

I am half way there and still working away to improve

Nice site, I follow your posts

I hope you do make super affiliate status but it will take all the things you mentioned; knowledge, creativity and effort. You might want to add patience and persistence to your list. And a little luck is always good thing.

Great hearing from you again and thanks for your comment.

I wanna be a Super Affiliate too. Hope the luck be with me.

When you find out what those shortcuts are, I just know you’ll share them with all of us. You’re right, in this business, it goes step by step. Once you learn the ropes it does get a little easier but you still need to be motivated and willing to put in the time.

Thanks for the compliment and as always, I really appreciate your visits and your comments.
