Ads.pof.com got a minor facelift yesterday, and by facelift I mean a pic/contact info are now posted on the front page. In case you don’t know what Shannon or I look like, NOW YOU DO!

For those who hate reading: If I were you, I’d change my <50 log-in count campaigns to <100 log-in count this week to test. If you want to know why, continue reading. Of POF’s 7 billion impressions/month, 4 are from the website, 3 are from mobile. Mobile is projected to be 60-70% of our traffic [...]
http://www.onlinepersonalswatch.com/news/2012/02/men-dont-read-online-dating-profiles.html “Men spend 65% more time looking at photos than women. Women, on the other hand, spent 50% more time than men actually reading the profiles” So according to this, when making new ads for men, spend your time looking for attractive images. When making ads for women focus in on attracting her through your [...]
So, some good news and some bad news. Let’s start with the good: Bidding on POF is much like dating. Most of the time, you don’t know where you stand (lol), but I think there are two ways to go about it: Bid high and scale down (skydive) or bid low and scale up (climber). [...]
I watched a video clip yesterday that got me thinking about my own past and how I was growing up. From as early as I can remember I have always done my own thing. When I was a kid I had garage sales every weekend trying to sell my parents junk. I could go on and [...]
INCOMING EPIC BLOG POST!!! Happy Tuesday everyone, let’s get to it. 1. Unique angles make $. There’s a big one that everyone has kind of glossed over and that’s the eyes. More specifically eye color, it’s a legit criteria for some people. You could even try weird combinations too because those will come with attention [...]
Hey everyone! I’ve caught wind of 2 new info products that focus on POF that I think are leaps and bounds above stuff pushed on places like WarriorForum. I’ve personally read through them both and I think there’s much to benefit by getting them. They’re 2 different products but together, they should definitely help you [...]

Have you noticed your site(s) dropping in the rankings recently as of late and wondered why? There is a variety of factors at play here since Google implemented its Panda 2.0 update and more recently relevance has been placed on social links with much more penalization taking place for links that appear spammy or come [...]
I successfully quit drinking for an entire month and I gotta say after the first week or so it was very easy. I realized quickly how unnecessary alcohol really is. Don’t get me wrong I am still going to drink but I don’t feel that urge to need a drink whenever I am stressed out about something. [...]
This is just another quick update to my quit drinking for a month challenge. Can’t believe I’m almost done the month already. I remember the first week all I could think about was how awesome it would be to finish the month and have a drink again, but now I don’t even care. I’m not gonna [...]
An interesting look at how Google quantifies their AdWords campaigns, broken down into quality score, ad rank and exactly how their auction system works for ad placements.
This is just another quick update to my quit drinking for a month challenge. Still going strong and half way done! I realized the always needing something to drink (non alcoholic) thing was to do with the dryness of my house right now as I am waiting for my new humidifier to be installed. It takes a commercial size steam [...]
At the start of this month I started a challenge to not have a single drink for a month. Today is day 7 and everything is going great. Some observations I have noticed: My energy level is up a bit, however I find myself getting tired faster at night which usually leads to me having [...]
Over a year ago I attempted to not have a drink for an entire month. You can see that post here. I think I lasted like 12 days, which isn’t that great but I was also in a different stage of my life where I went out a lot more. This time should be much [...]

I have seen very good results by simply adding a Facebook “Like” button on my landing pages. Put it somewhere below but close to where you want the visitor to interact, your email submit, click here button, etc. Of course you’re going to want some “likes” to begin with so it doesn’t hurt to purchase [...]
Just tried out google plus a bit, its okay. Wouldn’t say it has the potential to kill facebook though. If you’re on it add me at http://gplus.to/mattfraser
I last wrote about Kiva 2 years ago here and I still really believe in how great it is. It’s not like donating money to a traditional charity where 15-20% of the money actually goes to the cause and the rest goes to things like the salaries of overpaid CEO’s. You loan money to entrepreneurs all around [...]
I have been busy building campaigns and its been awhile since my last post. Hope all of you have been hustling hard. I’m going to share a quick tip I use for my pof campaign. For any campaign you build on pof, if you aren’t using the “cross tab report” feature, you’re missing out big [...]
I had to setup my phone today for MMS, and it took forever to find the proper settings online. Just go into settings, wireless, apn settings, and add a new APN for rogers MMS. Hopefully someone else up here in Canuckistan can use this; Name: Rogers MMS APN: media.com Username: media Password: mda01 Server: 172.25.0.107 [...]
Today I duplicated a site I have running in a certain niche. I needed to delete all the old posts from certain years, and couldn’t find a plugin to do this easily. So. I went into trusty old PHPMyAdmin and did it manually. Here’s what you need to do. 1. Login to phpmyadmin 2. Find [...]
While playing 36 holes of golf yesterday with a buddy of mine we got to talking about how many people don’t understand how we can play so much golf. It’s costly and time consuming. Most people I know only have time to play at night after work or on weekends. I understand how most people don’t [...]
In an age where social media is the norm and people are constantly jumping ship to the next big social platform, it is interesting to see which companies have stuck around for the long haul and which have started to bottom out. While Facebook may be the mainstay in social media and social networking, there [...]
Remember how you felt when you made your first $100 online? The feeling of knowing you worked for yourself and earned that income 100% for yourself, by yourself ? (If you haven’t, hustle for it, you wouldn’t regret it when you hit that first milestone) I’ve been doing affiliate marketing for over two years now [...]
Today the brand new totally revamped Senuke launched with their new name “Senuke X”.

As an internet marketer I am always on the lookout for productivity tools that make my life easier and speed up my work. Keyword research is one of the more mundane tasks and while there are great tools out that like Keyword Spy that can handle most tasks, until now I haven’t had a solution [...]
I read a newsletter I got from EWA recently and it got me thinking. It was about making your images stand out from the others by: adding borders, slightly tilting the images, or any sort of filters/effects that catches one’s attention. I recently spoke with Ben from POF (awesome guy btw) and he was saying [...]
I came across this prosper202 from neardyaffiliate.com the other day and thought I’d mention it here. When you are analyzing your prosper stats, have you ever wondered what the click through rate from your landing page to the offer page was? This cool prosper mod basically does exactly that. For every keyword (and URLs if [...]
Ok so it’s a fairly old trick but still manages to work in various ways as far as increasing traffic or even just getting new links indexed faster, you’ve probably heard of it before so just skip reading the rest of this post, but if you haven’t here’s a tip – take all those links [...]
Depending on how hard you roll (or how crappy your server is), there comes a time when you’d want to archive your prosper202 installation for speed. Redirection speed is crucial for ROI; you don’t want your visitors to leave you just because of a slow redirect that made them impatient. Here is how I archive [...]
When I am running ppv offers, I usually like to build my own landing pages. Sometimes though, you want to test out your offer’s default lander before spending time creating/optimizing your landing page. In such case, you could simply direct link the offer page, or you could iframe the offer. Some advertisers do not like [...]
Today’s tip is going to the short and quick. If you are a stats junkie, you probably access your tracking202 site quite a bit. Are you ever annoyed by the flashing logo on the top left corner when you’re checking stats? Not to mention some of the ads there are getting a little less work [...]

This is a great slide I came across regarding tax for online businesses at taxsupport.ca. It probably wouldn’t benefit any long time online businesses too much. If you are new and just starting out though, its going to give you a simple to understand overview of the Canadian tax law and prevent you from overpaying [...]
Recently, I’ve started to diversify my dating traffic from social to PPV. While doing so, I came across a common problem, which is the following: In pof/fb and any other social sites, you would usually target a specific gender when creating a dating campaign. So for example say: single guy in vancouver above 25 (fyi, [...]
Google and Yahoo have compiled their lists of “Top Rising Keyword Searches for 2010” and other social media hubs like Facebook and Twitter have followed suit with thier own trending searches and status’ for 2010. A great way to think outside the box is to jump on rising social trends, so what better way to [...]
An easy way to lighten the server load on any vps or dedicated server you might be using is to move all services that don’t need to be served by the operating system off-site to another host. The two easiest examples that I use daily are Google Apps for free hosted email and a free [...]
Today I was faced with migrating my P202 installation from one host to another. As normal, I ran the mysqldump command on the old server to dump the database and scp’d it over to my new host – went to import and I got a bunch of errors like this; ERROR 1016 (HY000): Can’t open [...]

Why would I do such a thing??! Pretty straightforward really – I’m sorry to say this about OpenX because I really did like them for a number of years. Lately, they’re just shit. Yup, completely and utterly shit. Ever since the name change to OpenX they’ve been going downhill, and I think nearly everyone in [...]
Get cocky. Yup. I said it. And on top of that I also admit that it happened to me. Rewind about to about 2 years ago when I first got into this industry and I kept saying ‘oh, $500 a month while I sleep would be good enough for me’ and I truly meant it [...]
A couple of weeks ago I was happy to receive a review copy of MegaPinger from the Mattseh at the WickedFire Forums. Fast forward a couple weeks, and I’ve finally had a chance to put it through the tests and see what it’s like for pinging massive amounts of links quickly, and efficiently.
So the Google Instant service was launched yesterday and you can now see the live changes if you do a search on Google.com. Now you will no longer have to wait to press Enter while searching, the search results will start to begin updating Instantly as you type. Neat trick huh? Google describes it as [...]
Coined the “Yahoo and Microsoft Search Alliance”, it looks as if the search engine platform that has been pushed under the carpet by Google is looking to re-emerge. Now marketers will be able to control all their Yahoo! Search Marketing efforts as well as their Microsoft adCenter ads under the same platform as the integration [...]
A couple summers ago, I met this cat at Affiliate Summit East. Since then we’ve talked more on the Internet, and even partnered on a few ventures and had some moderate success. We also met up occasionally at conferences too. Last week, he happened to have some time available so he came up to chill [...]
Might be old, but was new to me and as an avid fan of infomercials (sadly, I think I recognized nearly every clip from this) this was pretty good.
So, Last night I was practicing my DJ’ing and at about 2AM a text message came into my phone from a phone number located in british columbia, but with no name associated with it. The text message said; “Way to go dickwad, posting your phone number on facebook for all to see, you loser” To [...]
I’ve been pretty busy lately, with recently coming back from Ad:Tech in San Francisco and various small vacations here and there. Then of course, grinding’ my ass off getting a bunch of small projects done before summer starts. It’s cold up here in Canada most of the year in-case you weren’t aware – so we [...]

I needed this for something, it’s pretty simple javascript but hey who knows. All it does is take all the words on a page and counts them, then lists them from highest count to lowest count (I only show the top 20). var pageKeywords; var keywordAmount = 20; var commonWords = ['you','cached','the','who','there','thier','are','our','com','www','and','for']; pageKewords = count(getText(document.body)); alert(pageKeywords); function getText(n) { var s [...]
Here’s a simple php script that you can use to not only cloak the referrer information, but also to rotate through your affiliate links so that you can test different offers and/or different advertising networks.

The affiliate marketer can make thousands of dollars a day working for himself. He can even hire employees that produce a value to him of hundreds of dollars, many times in excess of what the employee gets paid for. This is true in any business venture. Making serious amounts of money or even gaining power [...]
There are a series of well known “affiliate marketers” that have blogs with huge readerships. These guys have ended up as more pro-blogger than affiliate marketer. Which means they generally can’t market their way out of a wet paper bag. They derive the main source of their income from their blog, and often sucker people [...]

As affiliate marketers we make money online. Our customers can be anywhere, WE can be anywhere, and the money can be sent anywhere.

What I’m going to say is controversial. Namecheap SUCKS DONKEY BALLS. Why is this so controversial? Because everyone starts off using Godaddy. Then they discover they are newbs, and all the cool people use Namecheap. Plus for some reason a lot of people hate Godaddy’s interface. Actually, I hate Namecheap’s interface even more, and personally [...]

This is more common than you think. Some idiot outright copies your landing page, but doesn’t remove your Tracking202 code. I mean sheesh, if a guy’s gonna rip an LP, he should realize he needs to rip out all javascript that he doesn’t understand. Basically he leaves this line in the lander: <script src="http://your-p202-site.com/tracking202/static/landing.php?lpip=715" type="text/javascript"></script> [...]

Matt over on the WF forums had recently posted a SQL database that he had created comprised of first and last names, a great resource to have handy when auto-generating identities, accounts, comment authors, etc..

I can’t stop watching this clip over and over again… it’s a little off-topic but very cool none-the-less. It’s a video named “Inspired Bicycles” and it’s just that, bike riders doing unimaginable stunts set to a killer soundtrack (Band 0f Horses – The Funeral). See for yourself, these guys are incredible!
