    Everyone seems to be going on about Google Instant, how it’s going to affect affiliates etc, well as a Google search user myself this is how I see it.

    If I want to search for something in Google I will just go straight ahead and type the keyword(s) and click enter, and I still will now, I don’t have time to stop and see what Google might suggest for me and I’m sure it will be the same for millions of other people, I’m also sure if they are doing a search they know exactly what they want to look for so will just go ahead and type the search phrase they want and by the time they look up from their keyboard’s Google will have suggestions matching exactly what they have just typed.

    It doesn’t seem to have had any effect on where my sites are ranking for their respective keywords either, personally I find it more annoying than helpful, and that’s with my user hat on.

    But, also saying that, when searching for some of my keywords, for example my Mens Polo Shirts site, it shows up in the results after just getting as far as mens p, so that could help me get the people who look up after every letter they type to visit the site, you never know, those searching for mens perm might want a polo shirt too :)

    I’m sure i’m not the only one, I’m sure most people in Affiliate Marketing are like it, but I seem to have an addiction with registering domains!

    A few months back I had a cull of domains because I just had too many and thought i’d never get sites done on them all, so I sold a few and just trashed the ones I knew wouldn’t actually make any decent amount of money, I registered some that had around 50k local exacts but the products only cost a few pounds so the commission generated from the sales would have been peanuts and been very uninspiring.

    Anyway back to the cull, I managed to get down to around 130 domains, but today I now sit at 174, more than I’ve ever owned! I need to stop now, I think i’ve got enough to be getting on with, when I actually think about how many domains I have to develop I think I’m going to have a panic attack :)

    Anyone else the same?

    Today I received this tasty sweetie hamper from Red Letter Days as part of their Christmas incentive.

    I will certainly be trying to increase sales to Red Letter Days so as to move up a tier to gain an even better prize!

    Luckily I like everything that’s in it :)

    Someone sent this to me today and said it was me, I couldn’t actually disagree with them :)

    As I’m sure with most affiliates I spend so much time in front of the PC, which as well as working on affiliate sites I get distracted by looking for new sites to make and then realising I have enough to get on with, so distraction probably plays a big part of why I sit in front of a PC for so long.
