Ted wanted me to tell that he’s giving away a few new 6 mega pixel digital cameras and photo printers that Hewlett Packard just happened to give to him … well, actually, I made Ted slip me a few bucks to share his news with you, meaning HP sponsored this post. Hey, even Affiliate Bloggers gotta pay the rent!Anyhow, Ted’s going to be giving these digital cameras and photo printers away as part of a whacky promotional Hp is doing to increase consumer awareness for the HP products and their HP Digital Camera buying guide informational pages.

Ted’s asked for bloggers specifically to tell him, in their most whacked out versions, why they deserve to own one of these digital products. So, you’re going to be seeing a lot of bloggers posting about Ted, his contest  and the HP digital give-aways.

Apparently Ted’s already given away one digital camera to a sobbing woman named Tamale. I think if my name was Tamale I’d be pretty tearful too! He left it for her on her desk, which makes me wonder if maybe Ted didn’t do that because he’s the reason she’s sobbing in the first place. We’re on to you Ted!

I popped on over to the HP Digital Camera buying guide pages to have look at their information on digital cameras. I’ve actually been shopping for digital cameras this year, so I can say that the information there was very helpful.

They’ve got some tips on better photo taking and how to print better photos. That’s all good stuff for a novice like me.

You guys know that HP has an affiliate program too right? Through Commission Junction’s affiliate network.

Apparently HP won “Best Computer Retailer Web Site” in 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, and 2005. In addition, they also took Internet Retailer Magazine’s award for “Top 50 Retail Site” in 2003 and 2006. That’s good marketing information if you want to be an affiliate for these folks. I’m sure Ted would approve!

Okay, Ted … there’s your 5 minutes of fame on the Affiliate Blogger … Merry Christmas dude!

American Greetings has come out with a new product for their affiliates to market. It’s an online calendar system that helps the user to remember important dates … dates that they might want to send an email greeting for.

The online calendar is a free service provided to their customers as an added value. Promotional services like that are always helpful to affiliates looking for new marketing angles.

And, one feature that I thought was very cool was that the calendar can send you reminders by text messaging your cell phone. No more forgetting birthdays, anniversaries, and special days. I don’t about you, but that free service would help keep me out of trouble!

The AmericanGreetings.com affiliate program pays a nice 40%-60% commission rate payout for every new subscription. The parent company also owns BlueMountain.com, which is where I have my account, and they offer a combined affiliate program. So, you can promote both services and get paid as one combined affiliate program. That means payouts more often for the affiliates!

Affiliates thinking about working with the coupon type of affiliate marketing should take a look at this nice affiliate coupon site called www.couponchief.com.

I’m big on Apple products lately, so I was enticed by the link to their Apple listings and coupons … especially the engraving part.

I like how they broke apart the featured coupons from the hot deals. It real has appeal for different types of buyers.

The site clearly displace their terms of service and privacy statement, which is a must and something a lot of affiliates over look. Me included sometimes!

The other thing that’s nice about this site is that I can search by merchant or by category … meaning they have a quick-glance navigation on the sidebar. It really is a very simple design and easy to navigate site that most any affiliate could model their coupon site after.

Debra Rabin has written a new article for AffiliateClassroom that outlines the features of the Perfect Affiliate.

Some of the qualities discussed in the article include profitability, an eye for success, research, relationships and communications … amoung other attributes.

It’s a good read and represents the point-of-view of the Merchant. Affiliates might get a better understanding of what the Merchants wants in their relationship with you. I think any time, the two sides can get a better understanding of each other, the better this business is. Feel free to add your thoughts on it too!

I managed to create an image using U-Doo that looks somewhat like me in a matter of a few minutes. Now, if I wanted to startup this service to have an avatar character that looks kind of like me pop up on my friend’s cellphones, I’d just active the image I’ve created and then email everyone a copy of it for their cell phones. I can even custonize my own ringtone for them as well.

This looks like it’s from the same folks who do SitePals. There’s no affiliate program on here yet, but you guys should nudge them in that direction. This is a hot new toy for ringtone affiliates to take a look at.

I’m SO tagged!

I didn’t even see it coming … suddenly there she was! Linda Buquet with that smile of hers, politely pinging me to let me know that I should consider myself tagged. Wicked wench! LOL

So, here’s the deal. There’s a tag game going around where bloggers have to share five things about themselves that most readers wouldn’t know, and then tag five other bloggers mercilessly. 

5 Things You Didn’t Know About Bobbie Grennier

1) Like Linda Buquet, my dad wanted to name me Linda Loo after his favorite gravel truck too! Thankfully the buoy industry was doing better than gravel that year, and so “Bob”-bie was the agreed upon name.

2) I’m very allergic to all alcohol. I love the taste of beer, so besides being a big bummer, it also makes attending affiliate events not so much fun as the others guys seem to be having.

3) I used to be a school teacher and I love helping people learn new things, but you probably know that last bit since I created the Affiliate Guild to help affiliates learn the ropes.

4) If you phone me you’re very likely to hear birdies chriping and doggies barking from time to time. I’ve got a full on zoo in my office and feeding the animals is required … Starbucks for their trainer.

5) I live near the coastal redwoods of California, so my favorite past time is hiking in the woods. I never weary of just how special and beautiful these giant trees are.

Here are my blog tag predecessors. I was tagged by Linda Buquet who was tagged by Anik Singal who was tagged by Rosalind Gardner, who was tagged by Jeremy Palmer, who was tagged by Scott Jangro.

Now I’m passing the torch to Ros Phillips of LinkConnector, Arlene & James Martell of Affiliate Bootcamp, Tom Avery of RevenueSource Affiliate Forums, Stephen Ralph of Top-Affiliate.com and Marifer Vergara from the queenofcheap.com.

I was reading a very interesting article on TechCrunch tonight and thought it was news worthy, and when I saw that PayPerPost was offering me a few bucks to chat about this article that didn’t hurt either. Always nice to get paid for chatting about things I enjoy chatting about.The article is titled “PayPerPost Does Something Right” and it’s referring to the PayPerPost blog.The article is leaking the news that this coming Monday, PayPerPost will be making a significant policy change … and according to Michael Arrington it’s a positive change.

Even more so, I whole heartedly agree with the soon to be announced change.

As of Monday, bloggers who write for PayPerPost will be required to disclose that they are being paid for their posts.

I’ve started to blog about this topic a little when I wrote A Few Posts Here and There, and not because I knew change was coming. I didn’t. I think it’s the ethical thing to do. I think that when a blogger is earning some income through using their posts to feature advertisers, then they should disclose it. We’re kind of the Paul Harvey’s of the blogging world if we don’t make that distinction.

This move by PayPerPost is most likely related to the FTC’s moves to force disclosure of word-of-mouth advertisements.

I actually think a Disclosure Policy is and should be in the making for every blog that runs advertisements on them … and I mean every blog.
