For too long affiliates have been strung along by this cover up.
Most of you have heard of AffBuzz.com, the so called “Affiliate Marketing News Aggregator”. This website is run by the ever so cunning Justin “JayB” Barr.
Now what most of you don’t know is that the primary reason that Affbuzz.com exists is not as an “Affiliate Marketing News Aggregator” but as an aggregator of the highest quality ad copies you will find on the Internet. You will probably be having a WTF moment around now but have a little think.
Affbuzz is basically a page of attention grabbing titles. Attention grabbing titles (a.k.a ad copies) are what make or break affiliate campaigns.
Lets look at the facts.
The Contributors (ad copy submitters):
BrandonAdcock.com
The list goes on…also including Dennis Yu.
The Testers (ad copy viewers):
Now these guys are the hardest group of people to sell to on the Internet. They know every trick in the book. They can spot a sell from a mile away. To top this they are also extremely banner blind.
The testers are you guys, affiliate marketers.
Basically you guys tell Affbuzz which ad copies are good or bad by either clicking the links or not.
How it all comes together:
Some say* Affbuzz has a pattern recognition script that processes through each day’s most popular ad copies. This script then spits out high quality ad copies which can be applied to any marketing campaigns.
Others say that Affbuzz is just an affiliate marketing news aggregator.
You decide.

But seriously next time you are thinking of creating ad copies take a look at Affbuzz for ideas. The people who post there have full-time jobs dealing with CTRs. In the last couple of months, posts displaying figures in their titles have performed best. e.g “Landing Pages with 74% Click Thru-Rates. Believe it.” or “How We Lost $1026.47 On Google Yesterday“. Next time that you launch a campaign, if you haven’t already, try creating a few ad copies with figures in their titles. CTRs will definitely improve. Also look out for the use of symbols (e.g “$”, “%”, “-”) in strategic places. They catch your eye more than you may think.
*No one actually says that… well possibly Dennis Yu.
I had the same thoughts the other day while browsing through that page. You can learn quite a bit from these guys if you have the right mindset.
I hate you. My favorite new blog since PPC.bz and you are already a hit on AffBuzz. I'm going to quit blogging.
Amazing.
I thought rule number one in blogging was to actually have a point?
I never knew there were rules to blogging? I thought I could post videos of my grandmas knitting class, or write about how many different kinds of toilet paper there is?
Um… i dont know this for sure, but my guess is that anyone who goes on that site will get their IP banned from seeing affiliates Landers….
