Alert Google Alerts
I created this Google Alerts folder in Microsoft Outlook a couple of weeks ago with the intention of establishing a content database of blogging ideas to draw from as needed. Google is a treasure-trove of Internet resources every blogger should learn to wrap their arms around.
As Google Alerts are new to me I wasn’t quite sure exactly what I could do with them. On another blog I am running called “Boating Today” I recently posted a short article generated from a Google Alert. The alert directed me to a news article on a blog which sent me scurrying all over the Internet in search of information on the Chicago Yacht Club Race to Mackinac Island.

Deadly Internet Malady
I’ve just got to post my affiliate ineptitude when it rears its ugly head, which by the way it does with ever increasing frequency. There have got to be some other affiliate lost souls out there who can relate to these types of affiliate frustrations I’m going to share with you now.
So I’m reading a blog post on my favorite BANS blog “The Niche Store Builder”, BANS being an acronym for Build A Niche Store, giving kudos to PepperJam, one the newest affiliate networks on the Internet.
At this point if you’re at, or close to the center, of “affiliate ground zero” like me, you might want to read Wikipedia’s definition of what the heck an affiliate network is anyway.
