These days, it seems like everyone is jumping on the Affilate Marketing banwagon and trying to get their hands in the money pie. The truth of the matter is, 90 percent of affiliates make a total of 10 percent of all the affiliate revenue generated. The remaining 10 percent of affiliates make the rest of 90 percent of all affiliate income!

Those top 10 percent affiliate earners can be classified as Super Affiliate and this British gentleman, Kieron Donoghue surely belongs in the upper class. Kieron is the owner and director of UK Offer Media Ltd, and he specializes in making money online through affiliate deals in his many diverse websites and blogs.

Kieron’s official Affiliate Marketing blog can be found here, or rather strangely named here.org.uk. For all his expertise and track records in affiliate marketing, Kieron could do well to nail a more relevant key term in his domain name to better optimize search engine traffic. I really can’t see any connection between “here” and affiliate marketing.

I’m sure most of you have noticed on many blogs, a little sidebar widget called “Showoff Rankings”, but how many of you actually know the creator of this cool Wordpress plugins? Well, the creator is none other than Jon Lee of Jon Lee dot see eh.

Jon is a Chinese-Canadian who has been involved with Internet for 20 years! He created his first fan site on Geocities when he was only 12! Jon has indeed come a long way since his Geocities days and had gained lots of experience in web development. All this translate to online credibility which you can trust when reading his experience Jon shared on his Web Development Blog. It is thus not surprising that Jon had been touted as the brainy one, cloned as “Boba Fett” in Blogging The Movie’s magazine vol. 2.

With Jon’s consent, I am submitting this post as a combination of his PR4 linkback promotion as well as his latest contest to win the world’s smallest MircoSD card reader. My newly migrated blog could really use some high value linklove and the microSD card reader will really come in handy as I won’t have to use the normal SD card adapter when I want to transfer or read files from MicroSD card.

Recently this blog get paid a free review from Cash for Comments’ free ReviewMe promotion. How does one earn a free review, you might wonder? Well, it is very easy, simply leave 5 genuine comments on the blog and email Mr P and ask for your free review. It is a very simple but effective way to promote a blog and ensure stickiness by driving traffic and comments to the blog.

The above image is a self-explanatory flowchart of the free ReviewMe promotion.

CASH for COMMENTS was started on 18 June 2007, only 3 weeks ago, and it has already gotten on the Google first page for search term “free reviewme”. What an impressive achievement for a new blog site and this goes to show that a simple but revolutionary idea goes a long way. The frequent “Free ReviewMe Batches” posted will attest to the popularity of the promotion, besides that, you can also find other interesting articles.

There is nothing negative to critique about the content, writing style and posting frequency. If I may suggest, I would ask Mr P to consider changing the header image to something that closely resemble his blog mission in order to strengthen his already strong branding. I feel the current image of a highway does not gel well with the cash bag contained in a speech bubble. And for a blog build on comments as its main focus, it is rather strange not to see the Top Commentators plugin installed.

This is a new blog which had exploded off the starting block, I’m sure Mr P will ride the momentum he had created so far and continue his good work to grow the blog. Now if you would excuse me, I’m off to getting my 5 comments from that sneaky bastard!

Till date, I have not post a mini reviews in the month of May. So it is a good time to continue the series I left off in April. Here goes (in random order):

Bob over at BobmeetsWorld.com is giving away a free Nintendo DS Lite with a few games because it’s his 30th birthday in May. The Nintendo DS Lite is 6 months old but Bob assures you that it is in mint condition. It is under utilized as Bob prefers his XBox360 much better.
