Affiliate Programs

I read the story about Uncle Sam slapping the irons on Super Spammer Robert Alan Soloway and I have to stop and ask myself, who in the hell still buys anything from an email spammer? Of course, I ask myself nearly the same questions when I hear someone whining because they lost thousands of dollars to the Nigerian scam.

For those of you who don’t know, JohnChow.Com has been running a “review johnchow.com” post.

I was browsing Matt Coddington’s site the other day and came across his post “Internet Marketing In The Public Eye“. Matt makes good observations about how the “get rich quick” or the “too lazy to do it right” crowd has gave those of us in Internet Marketing a bad rep. It’s safe to say that in the past 10+ years of Internet Marketing, I probably unintentionally tried a spam technique or two. Nowdays I know the score and only shoot straight. Life is too short to look over your shoulders.

After thinking about his post, I can understand where he’s coming from.

Every since I put up The Ultimate List of Adsense Ready Wordpress Themes, I’ve received some emails asking how to change the Adsense codes in the Themes.

It goes without saying, I hope so anyways, that you’ll need an Adsense account. If not, go get one first before trying this.

I’m going to try and explain it here, step by step.  For this example, I’ll be using the Ads Minded Theme.
