A new way to earn commission from adverts on your web site

I crossed this on my travels, took a look at the merchants list and signed up on the spot. It pays in UK pounds, US Dollars or Euro's.

You choose which adverts to want to run and put the banner / button on your site. As such, completely compatible with Adsense and anything else you care to mention.

As an example, here's the first ones I added:

Firebox
10-15% commission on sales
Keep the sales rolling in by converting users hunting for a bargain online. Firebox has launched its January sale in a dedicated department offering savings up to 50% on a wide range of must have gadgets. The Firebox website has one of the best traffic-to-sales conversion rates in its sector, making your traffic work harder for you.


Merchant Description
10% on all sales, with a 2nd tier. GadgetHub.co.uk offers its customers a wide range of high quality and trendy items for the home and the office, as well as gadgets, audio-visual products and table games.

Information overload

If I was still working, as opposed to keeping up to date for 'enjoyment' I am reasonably I'd have had a stress related breakdown from the sheer volume of information I deal with, well try to deal with on a daily basic.

As present my hotmail account has around 200 emails I need to deal with, Yahoo has easily over a thousand, while my main address has well over 5,000 newsletters and such I need to read and act on. Then there's the trade journals. In October I caught up to date with most of them. Now there's a metre high pile of journals menacing me, muttering: "Read me if you think you are hard enough..."

It doesn't help that I cover so many areas, I guess. I /try/ to keep up to date with computer hardware, networking, Microsoft, Web design, search engine optimisation, security ...

On a typical day, I get 1 or 2 mailed computer trade journals, a selecton of downloaded journals via Zinio and an absolute minimum of 100 articles, newsletters and press releases a day, every day.

Spam is an estimated 65 million a year, but that's deleted as fast as it attacks the mail servers. That's around 2 a second, I kid you not!
