SEO & AFFILIATE MARKETING BLOG
I see a lot of newbies to the affiliate arena ask the question of whether or not affiliate marketing (associate marketing, whatever you want to call it) is a scam, especially when they see a two (or more) tiered program (meaning affiliates can earn off the affiliates they bring into the program “under them”) which…
Read MoreThis post had an alternate working title of “Dear Gravity Forms, Oops, Let Me Remove My Foot From My Mouth – Kinda.” If you follow me on Twitter, then you may have seen that I recently gave the Gravity Forms WordPress plugin a try. So I decided to finally give it a try while creating…
