One of the coolest features about Drupal is the ability to run heaps of sites from the same codebase. However, if you’re a total wacko when it comes to SEO and want to do absolutely everything to help get your site well indexed by Google, it can be difficult to figure out how to get [...]
Sometimes it doesn’t pay dividends trying your best to be responsible. Last Friday I drove to a friends house for a few late drinks, and being in a very responsible mood decided to leave the car overnight outside on the street, and pay for the next mornings parking in advance (as one can do most [...]
Some time ago I expressed my anger at Screenclick from an affiliates point of view, as they’d changed their site to incorporate Microsoft Silverlight but it was pretty much a requirement to use some controls on the site, and slightly offputting to the user. Finally, they’ve managed to see the light (pardon the pun!) and [...]
I’ve noticed quite a lot of emails coming through over the past few weeks from various merchants - mostly UK based to be honest - cutting commission rates by a couple of percent, some with a particular focus on cashback sites, but more often than not the commission cuts are across the board. But why?
Whilst checking out some news on Breakingnews.ie, I noticed they’ve started using Google Friend Connect to help engage with their site visitors and provide a slightly more interactive experience.

If you’re an affiliate of any kind, chances are you’ll need to regularly download datafeeds from on or many affiliate networks to keep your information up to date.

Despite much fanfare about video on demand in various territories, we’ve not really seen much of it in Ireland, and even in the UK uptake isn’t what it could be. A lot of this is down to broadband speeds in Ireland (or lack thereof), but over in the UK with Virgin Media offering 50mb broadband, [...]
What an interesting day for the UK stock market. Whilst the BBC and others have reported Marks and Spencer are set to cut around 1,000 jobs, Bloomberg has reported gains for Debenhams, Next PLC and even Marks and Spencer. So what exactly is going on?
I’m not 100% surprised by this, as Screenclick fairly recently acquired Busybeedvd and since day one have been playing down Moviestar.ie’s presence in the Irish market (as they did with Busybeedvd), but as of today Moviestar.ie is now being fulfilled by Screenclick.com. If you’re a regular reader you’ll have spotted my earlier opinion of the [...]
Well, you can’t really make money from farting - not real ones at least. But a clever chap in the states recently raked in almost $30,000 USD in one day by selling his ‘iFart‘ application for the Apple iPhone. Clever boy. But such a stupidly simple idea. And on which exact one day in 2008 [...]
