21st Century Affiliate Marketing

If you’re involved in online marketing, you’ve probably seen dozens of promotions for Sunny Sugg’s AllAboutAddons site.

I didn’t think much about it, because I don’t use but two or three addons with Firefox and one I don’t use is NoScript. So, I didn’t bother looking into it.

Then, I was reading Ray White’s Soaring4Traffic blog and his post about NoScript Revisited caught my attention.

I’m doing a lot of work lately building email series with Aweber for promoting the products and services I represent, and I use Aweber to broadcast new posts to this blog to anyone who subscribes using the form on the top-right of most pages, below my photo.

Aweber makes it easy to publish subscribe forms on your sites and you have the choice of using a javascript form (which is easier) or an HTML form (which doesn’t take any more work, but you can’t update what it says from your Aweber account).

I’ve been doing a lot of work with Aweber this week and I really didn’t want to lose that result because millions of people are using Firefox with the NoScript addon installed.

So, I’ve made sure that I’m using the HTML version of the subscription form in most places.

Do I think this is required? I really don’t know. I’m sure many people are using other browsers and many of the people using Firefox don’t have NoScript installed, like me.

Plus, some portion of the people who like NoScript have trained it to see what they want on a site, but I don’t know if they’d want to see my subscription form or not. I would like for them to see it, however.

So, I’m not trying to be alarming, but if you’re involved in affiliate marketing or building websites, you should probably be aware of the situation.

I am not an AllAboutAddons affliate, but Ray White is. You can visit the site by clicking the link in his NoScript Revisited article.

Even if you’re not interested in Sunny’s site, you should read what Ray has to say about his experiences with trying NoScript.

Act on your dream!
