One of the co-founders at Zoosk just noticed that we are now one of the top 500 most visited websites on the web according to Quantcast.
This makes us bigger than Mate1, Date.com, OkCupid and a lot other dating websites.
We recently launched a few competitive offers for affiliates which will help us grow from 500 to top 100 over the next couple of months.
Zoosk.com — the second largest paid dating site in the UK (no big deal) is hiring in its marketing department.
I don’t know if I mentioned this in a previous post so just in case… shoot me a note and we’ll see if you’re a match for our online marketing team.
A post that was originally written for manybodytheory.com has been instead posted on Search Engine Land.

So word on the street is that affiliates running Google Grants, Google Cash, etc are getting permanently banned from advertising on AdWords.
I’m not sure how Google is going to enforce the permanement ban… What I imagine is they will put a block on your name and address on file (since they can’t ban any future John Smiths… but can ban John Smith who lives on First Street in Chicago)… I’m sure if Google is going through with the ban that your credit card number will also get blacklisted from AdWords as well.
The FTC is coming after Google Grants, Google Profits, and related offers.

If you’re still running these offers it might be the end of the road pretty soon if people start seeing this on the news/tv.

What I would like to see is a Michael Jackson Skill Whitening Rebill offer. You have teeth whitening, resveratrol… what about to whiten your skin? Everyone is worrying about working on their tan this summer, take the road less traveled and get your skin whitened instead just like the (former) King of Pop
How do you think of your campaigns? Do you think about that Love Crush offer from Tatto Media and drool over about how you can make 5 - 6 figures a month with it?
I want to thank the team at Clickbooth for sending me some free stuff yesterday. I received an instant-message from Eric (twitter: @clickbooth) making sure that I was at my office and about 30 minutes later FedEx knocked on the door.
SpeedDate.com is a pretty shady company. Less than 24 hours after my first post covering how shady speeddate is they took down their subscription page. When I noticed that their new subscription page looked familar I asked myself why… then it occured to me that SpeedDate has now stolen the MyLife subscription page. You can read the post about it from Chris Watkins, the UI Designer for Zoosk.
