I have been using lijit for 4 months, 3 weeks, 9 hours, 38 minutes and 59 seconds now (or so my account tells me). I decided to give it a try after seeing so many of the website examples at BlogWorld use it. So far, I have only tested it on my celebrity fashion website.

So what does lijit do?  It provides a search tool for your website’s results as well as results from your social content and your network’s content (so my visitors can search my other relation fashion websites as well). Great for my visitors, but sometimes frustrating for myself when I’m trying to find a previous post, and have to scroll through results.

They also offer in depth statistic of website referrers, keywords, page views, locations, etc. For free, I might add!

Not only is their service free, they offer revenue opportunities as well.  I by no means will be able to retire off my earnings so far, but it’s cool to actually get paid for using a service. Now if they only had a referral or affiliate program!

Another thing I like about lijit (besides them sending me this free tshirt) is their personal service and fast responses.  They even promoted @stealthestyle via their @lijit twitter account which I thought was extremely nice, so thank you!

What are your legitimate thoughts on lijit?

Once a week, Del and I have “date night”.  He was less than impressed when I asked him to do a quick photo shoot before we went out this week. He perked up when I told I had a chance to win $1000 from Affiliate.com in their T-shirt Blogging Contest and that I’d share if we won!

Affiliate.com – a huge CPA network – gave out these cool King and Queen tees at Affiliate Summit last month.   My original intention was to pose like a fanned hand of cards, but as you can see, I’m no choreographer.

Yes, I know Affiliate.com has already made the Free Shirt Friday list, and I bumped this post up for a chance to win a grand – do you blame me?  I apologize to the other shirts in waiting for being selfish.  If it makes you feel any better, Affiliate.com is also donating $1000 to the American Red Cross Haiti Relief Fund as well.

And as a bribe to the celebrity judges – Missy Ward, John Chow, Zac Johnson, and Murray Newlands – drinks on me at #ASE10 with the winnings?!

*Update – seems I missed the entry deadline to enter the contest – it was 2/22/10 (for some unknown not-blonde reason, I thought it was 2/28). So even though I wasn’t qualified to win, the prize went to the most deserving Heather in BC!

At Affiliate Summit in Vegas, I had the opportunity to meet Janet Meiners Thaeler, author of the book I Need a Killer Press Release–Now What???: A Guide to Online PR (available from Amazon.com, yes that’s my affiliate link).

Janet not only gave me today’s featured free shirt, but also an autographed copy of her book that offers some great tips for writing and promoting press releases for any kind of businesses, as well as a long list of places to submit your press release online.

Check out Janet’s website at OnlinePRBook.com, and thanks for the shirt! I love RED shirts being a Nebraska Cornhusker fan and all.

Today’s featured t-shirt is courtesy of NDemand Affiliates, another CPA network using the directTrack platform. They have over 150 offers with some pretty good payouts compared to other networks. Check ‘em out, and thanks for the cool looking shirt!

Today’s free tshirt is courtesy of Vistaprint.com.

I have been ordering free business cards from Vistaprint for years. They offer several free designs that you can add your personalized text to, and you can receive 250 cards free (just pay shipping, around $5). And the offer isn’t just for first-time users – you can place multiple orders and even re-order as well.

Business cards don’t always have to be just your name/address/etc.  I usually order them to advertise my various websites and offer promos, and then I can use them to stuff in goodie or thank you bags.

The only drawbacks are:

• The cards are slightly smaller than the average sized business card, but nowadays you see cards in all shapes and sizes.
• The Vistaprint logo is printed on the back of the card (free cards for you = free advertising for them), but you can pay extra to remove the tagline. But if I use them to promote myself, I don’t mind the tagline.
• You will probably be bombarded with extra offers during and after checkout, so be sure you are aren’t agreeing to any extra items or recurring charges (I never have, but my mother unknowingly has).

Vistaprint not only offers business cards, but free tote bags, free tshirts, hats, notecards, address labels and more as well – see all Vistaprint’s offers.

Vistaprint has a reliable affiliate program via CJ that pays $3 per lead, but you can get higher payouts through various CPA networks. For example, this Free Postcard Offer (I’ve ordered these several times as well) pays out $14 per lead through MarketLeverage.

Happy Friday!

Back in April, I received an email newsletter from Big Jason Henderson (who was on The Next Internet Millionaire reality show) that included this blurb,  “If you are one of the first 9 people to respond to this email, I will get you a tshirt from Jeremy (aka ShoeMoney) as shown to the right with my cute 3yr old niece Monica.”

I responded, to which he replied, “I went to your site.  Even if you weren’t, I would buy you one. Hit me back with your address and size.” I was flattered.

Six months later and forgotten about, I received my ShoeMoney shirt! It only seems fitting that I feature ShoeMoney since I paralleled my Free Shirt Friday posts after Jeremy’s Free T Shirt Friday.

Thanks to Big Jason and Shoemoney for the shirt!

Today’s free tshirt is courtesy of BlogTalkRadio.com where you can listen to thousands of original talk radio shows as well as create your own free talk radio podcast.

While I was in Vegas for BlogWorld, I had the opportunity to be a guest during a live radio segment on Blog Talk Radio with Jim Kukral, Sugar Jones, Jim Turner and Angie Swartz. It was a fun experience, even if I did get bumped to accommodate actor Kevin Pollack on the show…

Agreed, Kevin is a bit more famous than measly ole me (and has his own online chat show), so I didn’t mind getting my slot pushed back.  Rumor has it he got divorced last year. Too bad he’s too short for me.

Want me to wear your shirt? Have your people contact my people.

Today’s free attire isn’t exactly a shirt, but a beautiful Pashmina Scarf from Sealed with a Kiss Designs instead.  Sure, I could have concocted the scarf into a tube top kind of shirt, but didn’t want to scare you all (just the thought scares me myself).

Sealed with a Kiss Designs / SWAKdesigns.com offers exciting trendy Womens  Plus Size Clothing sizes 1x to 6x (14 to 40) with Free Worldwide Shipping!

SWAKdesigns has an affiliate program at ShareASale and is proactively managed by Deborah Carney of Team Loxly.

Note: the beaded earrings I’m also wearing were handmade by Liz Ababon of Team Loxly and are available for sale for only $7 at Shop7.com.  I picked red to go with my Husker attire!

I attempted to take a pic of today’s Free Shirt, courtesy of LinkScape via DailyBooth.com, but since the writing is backwards and hard to read, I had my daughter attempt to take a pic of the back of the shirt…

… which isn’t much more legible. It says “SEO!!! Moz – 30 Billion Pages devoured and still hungry!”

So what is LinkScape?

Linkscape provides link data never available before on over 54+ billion URLs across 230+ million domains.

Looks like they need up update the number on their shirts!

So I decided to use http://kimarketing.com as my “URL to Analyze” and “Run Basic Report” and here is the score badge it generated (I just ran a free report, but you can upgrade for more indepth statistics)…

I chose that domain first, just because I had a problem with it getting blocked by filtering software. Scott Jangro helped me find the root of the problem and blogged about it on his new site, AffBook.com – definitely a good site to bookmark about affiliate marketing.

*Yes, I know my office is a pit. I am slowly in the process of making room for a Treadmill Desk like Tricia Meyer uses.

MaxBounty.com is one of the first CPA networks I joined back in the day, and they were also one of the first ones to send me a free tshirt to wear on my Free Shirt Friday posts.  Shame on me for allowing their shirt to get lost in my huge tote of shirts waiting to be featured. But the wait is now over!

MaxBounty offers both in-house managed campaigns and merchant campaigns. My favorite campaign with them right now is Publisher’s Clearing House. They are located in Canada, but I receive a monthly check from them in US Dollars every month on time, which is the best benefit of all. They also offer real time statistics, sub-id reporting and 2-tier referral income. So if you’re not an affiliate yet, sign up now!

People always ask me what I do with all the free shirts I receive after I wear and write about them, as I can’t possibly wear them all. I actually do keep and wear some of them (my fave right now is “Can’t Stop Rockin“). My family gets first dibs on the shirts they want in my “free room”, then my friends.  I also advertised “free promotional tshirts, while supplies last” during the citywide rummage sale here last week, and they disappeared like hot cakes!

Want me to show your free tshirt some love? Beam it over.
