As I mentioned yesterday, the podcast is now alive and kicking…

TheSpew TheSpew, Episode 9: Chris Pearson – Naked and Covered in Honey http://cli.gs/theSpew9 w/@pearsonified @karengarcia @kimarketing & @missyward

I used the example of when I was sent a Sumo Omni to review. I didn’t like the thing, so I asked the company if they still wanted me to write about it as I’m not gonna lie. Nope. They still got some advertising from my pre-review. And I used an affiliate link to their store. Should I have to disclose that I may potentially earn commission if they purchase through my link?  I think not.

What are my favorite things to review? Send me shoes!

I was reading the Google Alerts in my inbox this morning, and felt extremely honored when I saw this…

You can read the Shawn’s full article above, or read about it on Missy’s blog (as hers is better looking).  I was nominated as a Pinnacle Awards Finalist for Affiliate of the Year, along with Scott Aikin and Mike Allen.  The only thing I have on those guys is that I have more hair, ha.  They are both exceptional affiliates, and I am privileged to be considered among them.  In fact, every finalist is a respected authority in the affiliate community, and I’m glad to call them all my friends.  Congratulations! And see you all in Vegas!

Another Google Web Alert I received…

I didn’t know that a hundred people in Nebraska actually used Twitter!  I even made the Top Ten. Are you following me yet?  And if you aren’t using Google Alerts yet, I highly suggest it to see who’s talking about you!
