The revolutionary new comfort wipe

Monday, June 29th, 2009

Hot on the heals of the Snuggie, here comes another must buy product direct from the US, the “Comfort Wipe”. They screened this infomercial on Rove last night, but in case you aren’t familiar with this revolutionary product that allows you to wipe your ass while maintaining your dignity, here it is… WPvideo 1.10 I’m [...]

The Snuggie is snugtastic

Monday, April 27th, 2009

Today I have some late night TV infomercial gold to share with you. If you’ve already seen this, please feel free to skip straight to the parody version. For those unfamiliar with the Snuggie, it is an innovative powerhouse of a product, it’s a blanket… with sleeves! Glorious. The Snuggie is designed to keep your [...]

Aliens vs Predator challenges

Thursday, March 26th, 2009

Here are some pretty cool, for sci-fi geeks anyway, print ads produced by New Zealand advertising agency DDB New Zealand, to promote the screening of Aliens vs. Predator when it was on SKY TV. As a massive Predator, and Alien, fan boy, I love this stuff. My personal favorite is Alien vs. Predator totem tennis. [...]

Infolinks – it’s time to believe the hype

Friday, December 12th, 2008

I’ll be honest, when I first read about Infolinks in various forums, I was more than a little sceptical. Whenever a new advertising program kicks off, it’s not unusual for discussion boards to become flooded with people spouting off about the overwhelming success they are having with the next big thing, no doubt in the [...]

Customizing Infolinks to get the best return on your site

Tuesday, December 2nd, 2008

As I covered yesterday, Infolinks appear to be a decent alternative to Kontera. The only problem is, their dashboard is a little light on for information, and makes it easy for people to miss some of the more useful information that they have on customizing Infolinks to get the most out of them on your [...]

Kontera versus Infolinks

Monday, December 1st, 2008

Battle of the content links I’ve been using Kontera content links on a few sites for some time now, and whilst they haven’t exactly set my little money making world on fire, they have proven to be a slow and steady little earner. Up until recently I’d been under the apparent misapprehension that Kontera were [...]

ProjectWonderful experiment conclusions

Wednesday, October 29th, 2008

I’m not sure that anyone out there actually cares, but a week ago I extended my ProjectWonderful experiment to try and figure out how to get the most out of my ad block and find the optimum pricing level. During the first week of the experiment I set the opening bid at $0.00 to see [...]

A jaunty tune is a powerful weapon

Monday, October 27th, 2008

If you live in Victoria, you may have noticed WorkSafe’s “graphic new ad campaign”. Personally, I’m a little tired of the “graphic new ad campaign” thing, it’s been done. I’d say I’m borderline desensitized. I’d prefer to see something intelligent and memorable, not disturbing and memorable. The ‘shock horror’ approach seems to lose it’s impact [...]

My Project Wonderful Experiment Follow Up

Tuesday, October 21st, 2008

A week ago I posted about my little Project Wonderful experiment. Basically I was wondering whether or not setting my ad spots to have a starting bid of $0.00 would have a positive impact upon my average daily bid rate. When I started the experiment, the average bid rate for the preceding five days was [...]
