Dougs interview on affiliateblog

[NigelNigel is verified member.]

Came across a very interesting interview Dougs did a couple of years ago with Fraser of affiliateblog.co.uk. Listened to it last night - Dougs gives a revealing insight into Affiliate Marketing - lots of inside info and tips to succeed. Worth listening to. Not sure if it's ever been posted on acorn. Here's the link:

everyone knows doug only makes the tea at asap, and if he's good let him do a bit of seo.

 

[dougs]

thats me

I am officially the ceo now, so they don't even let me do the seo or make the tea.

My official role is to post on forums, tell crap jokes and have coffee.....obviously that is on the days I turn up and am not on holiday windsurfing.

Enjoyed it, its quite inspiring the big numbers you deal in and the way you understand the cost of the domain is worth it due to the added value you add.

Like you said, the 100k+ investment is far more than worth it if you can sell it for 1m+ down the road.

Nice to see this showing up again now We should have a chat again one day Doug. It's certainly been one of the most popular podcasts I published!

 

[Ashton]

One point I take from it, is that a few years down the line, he's still doing the same thing.

I didn't realise it was you Fraser who ran affiliateblog!

thought it was another Fraser

Nice one - nice site

 

[dougs]

We still do the same

Any time you want Fraser Next month is better as I am windsurfing this one

Buy quality domains
Put good content on
Get links
Add news
Add blogs
Do press

The thing I would say though is we do focus on making the site the best in the industry at any cost. Carrentals.co.uk we believe we are there now, but we are still enhancing it. DiscountVouchers.co.uk we are not there yet but getting closer.

Then buy another domain

I know

I know and I was offered it in 2002 for £25K and did not have the cash

So James bought it.......but carrentals.co.uk is not too bad and with almost 50% of our business now typing in the domain into the top bar suppose we will have to live with it

Motto buy the best domain name you can afford at the time

There's so much you can take from guys like Doug, the 2x Chris's etc. The wealth of info they freely give is astounding! Thing is you don't need their deep pockets to emulate them.... Just the resolve and commitment.
