What’s the difference between 90% of affiliate marketers? Nothing. There are not many industries that are as incestuous as the affiliate marketing industry. Everyone knows each other’s mom, distant cousin, cats and little rat-sized dogs. This make up doesn’t exactly breed creativity.

Last week I wrote about how to approach split testing. I also gave you a few ideas for split testing in my Ugly Truth post. But I didn’t really treat you to any juicy split testing case studies that would get your brain crushing on you. If split testing was a woman, we would probably date. If not, I would…Read More →
