We started using AzoogleAds in Mid Febuary and have received our first check from them. We found that AzoogleAds is a mix between clickbank’s affiliate program and google adsense in terms of how they setup their system. It is very easy to impliment and takes literally only minutes to put an offer onto a site of yours. At first we thought that it was not going to convert well on our sites so we put the links in places where we aren’t profitting well from adsense. To our surprise, they convert well even in obsure places of our sites – like on the lower left or lower right of a page. I especially like the easy-to-use channels that show exactly where I’m getting $/clicks from.
If you have websites, forums, or community sites with regulars, we found that we can randomly add links every other day or so and can see what offers match the audience’s wants and needs quite effectively. Right now AzoogleAds is ok and has become a good fourth source of income for us. I think there is much potential in actually using paid traffic to specific offers. I started a test and will post results later – a 300+% return seems very realistic here. Oh and if you don’t have an AzoogleAds account yet, get it here: AzoogleAds Signup (aff)
Recently picked up these shoes. I’ll post a review on them once they are broken in.
Believe it or not, my twin and I never watched this movie before until just a week ago. We were just taking a break from games, and happened to switch the channel to AMC’s movie channel with Scarface: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0086250/ starring Al Pacino as Tony Montana. At first we were just going to switch the channel because it looked so old. But something kept us watching. Many times I hear jokes from people about dealing crack or selling drugs to make a fortune quickly today. This movie simply explored that path. Even though the film may seem to be too violent and tacky for some people, this film is brilliant and one of the best I have ever seen with Pacino portraying Tony Montana as a Cuban refugee on a path to get the “American Dream”. He was a guy who started with nothing and ended up with “the world”.
My twin and I kept commenting on how “hungry” this Tony Montana character was and how it reminded us of a part of ourselves. Hungry as in aiming high and expecting nothing less than what he wanted. He was also dead honest to himself and with everyone around him. There is a scene in the movie with Tony and his friend Manny on the sandy beach of Miami after they worked for Sosa for 3 months. Tony says: €œLook at this place. It’s paradise. If I was here 10 years ago, I would be a millionaire by now.”
That statement holds true in real-life and holds truer today in the information age with the power of the internet. However, very few people actually take advantage of it because they are just not hungry enough and they do not have a good grasp on how businesses are run.
Throughout the movie, Tony refers to securing supplies of drugs, selling and distributing drugs, laundering money, and taking out rivals as a €œBusiness.€ He knew that his efforts would pay him off in the future. For Tony, he was able to sleep at night knowing what his business was doing. This is probably because he used the drugs himself. To him, it was perfectly ok and was just illegal because politicians didn’t want to get voted out of office if they tried to legalize the drugs. If you’re reading this, you probably won’t be the type of person who can sleep with himself if you ran a Billion dollar drug distribution business no matter how much money you are racking in. But like Tony, you must know all the parts that make a business run and know that a business is a system that puts money in your pockets when all is said and done. I found it very ironic that the downfall of Tony was when he started to work €œin€ his business rather than working €œon€ it and using the drugs he was selling.
