Does anyone ever wonder, 'who buys the stuff that you promote'? who is it that clicks on the link that you have so patiently written, and after being rejected from overture... re-written.
who is it that looked upon your goods and thinks, ' oo, there's a bargain?'
Who is it?
What do they look like, are they funny lookin, do they have big keyboard hands? surely they cant be normal, people I know are normal, but then people I know wont say, "e, r, mate here's a few quid for yer self, fill yer boots my son'
I've been in many businesses in my time, but this is the weirdest. The business where you don't know if you're the merchant, the merchants middleman, your own middle man or the middle man of the merchants
SEO middle men.
I get dusted, I get busted, I get done and get doused but tomorrow, I get pampered, and praised. Why do we do what we do, we are left of center of the middle men. We never wanted to do this, we all wanted to be lumberjacks, leaping from tree to tree. the redwood the dead wood , the ceadar and the birch... with our best friend by our sides... our laptops.
On a monthly basis, I go from 'planning my place in the sun - for the greater paradise' to thinking about 'the lone tree in the distance, where I shall lay down my sweet head in the middle of the night, with a stomach full of asprin and fizzy Becks, to forget about these harsh internet ways'
... but then I think,
whenever life gets you down a4uforum, and things seem hard or tough, and people are stupid, obnoxious or daft and you feel that you've had quite enough.
Just remember that your standing on a planet that's evolving, revolving at 900 miles an hour, that's orbiting at 90 miles a second, so it's reckoned, a sun that is the source of all our power.
The sun and you and me and all the stars that we can see are moving at one million miles an day, in an outer spiral arm at 40,000 miles an hour, in the galaxy we call the Milky Way.
The galaxy itself contains a hundred million stars. It's a hundred thousand light years side to side, it bulges in the middle 16,000 light years thick, but out by us it's just two hundred million wide, we're 30.000 light years from galactic central point and we go round every two hundred milion years, and our galaxy is only one of millions and billions in this amazing and expanding Universe.
The Universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding, in all of the directions it can whizz, the fastest it can go... the Speed of light you know, is twelve million miles a minute and that's the fastest speed there is.
So remember when you're feeling very small and insecure. How amazingly unlikely is your birth! And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up in space cos there's bugger all down here on Earth.
makes ya think doesn't it.
Next time your placing your bids on overture against the next affilliate that you know so well and battle with so often, remember he's playing the same game that you are.
The more you push up the price, the liklier it is that the merchant will step in and stop everyone playing this game. BID down. Give up the number one obsession every now and then. BID down.
Agressive PPC marketing is what will kill this business. Let's all get along. If you think you know the good days, bid on the good days, lets the fools bid on the bad days.
He smiles!
lets build Utopia right here. It sound grandious but very marxist.
PPC!!!!!! Everybody calm down. there's enough for everyone, if you grab the rice off the food truck, you're gonna split the bag and spend the next year scratching around on the floor.
If you smile and look upon the gr8 lord sweetly, the big man will deliver a food bag all of your own.
so, what have we learned?
1. I've just given up smoking and
am wired on nicotenelle.
2. the universe is massive.
3. Tradedoubler loves scumware and pays late.
