From Evil Marketer, Influencers, and Uncensored Usenet
Posted in Censorship, Future Shock, Personal Privacy, Proxy, Security, Video Games, Web 2.0 by wayne.porter on April 29th, 2007 I have been mulling over the evil marketer…and their interesting three-part series.
The influencer would need to promote products or brands in a mostly measurable way, via tracked links, coupon codes, printable coupons, or email subscriptions; they would also need to brand their site/sites in a way that is agreeable to both influencer and advertiser
The influencer could set desired rates and promise a certain level of traffic; these rates would generally be a paid contract over a certain term, but could include bonuses based on CPA or CPC
The influencer must agree to never promote rival products or brands while under contract
A rigid approval and vetting process would need to be in place for entry as an influencer; applicants would need to show proof of influence as well as traffic and/or previous affiliate commission numbers, and the applicant would need to concentrate on one vertical
A network managed by one individual but consisting of several sites and blogs could apply as an influencer and thus use its aggregate influence under one influencer account
Read on for some answers……
This evil entity is sharp. Ten bucks he would understand it if I said an “engagement” with one’s brand is worth treble that out in the field then on one’s site. Influence…and it grows- it is harder to track, but like “buzz” you can “feel it”. I can anyway.
IPTV, VOIP, Virtual Worlds, Shadow Consumers, social networking, short codes and cell phones….. 
Come into my sphere….
Whoever is writing this had to be around near the genesis of affiliate marketing- when veterans like me were experimenting and either starving or booming because we there were no “best practices”. Practice was best and we practiced all kinds of things…no- not all bad (some did)- the many that I know who did well- were driven out of passion and curiosity. The rest of the stuff just fell into place. There was no grand plan.
I got your Joost and Club Penguin people! But I am not turning over the kproxy secrets…well I just might for Club Penguin- because it is a metaverse of sorts. One day you all will grow up and just hear long tales of uncensored Usenet. and alt.binaries…no I have idea if we will have binaries by then, but stories- yes.
