I’ve just signed up with Jumbo Australia - an Australian affiliate network with some seriously good Australian based advertisers such as OO.com.au and OzSpy. They offer payments via PayPal, cheque, or direct deposit (for affiliates in Australia). Check ‘em out here.
If you monetize your websites using Google AdSense, the last thing you want to do is accidently click your own ads. To completely disable AdSense on your PC, here’s what your should do.
1. Open your hosts file using Notepad. Depending on what version of Windows you’re using, it can be found here:
Windows 95 - C:windows
Windows 98 - C:\windows
Windows Me - C:\windows
Windows 2000 - C:windows\system32\drivers\etc
Windows XP - C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc
Windows NT - C:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc
Windows Vista - C:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc
2. Paste this at the bottom of the file:
127.0.0.1 pagead2.googlesyndication.com
3. Restart your browser - AdSense should be GONE!

I updated to FF3 today, and can no longer drag images directly from Firefox into Photoshop as a new image. This is a deal killer for me - I’ll be rolling back to Firefox 2.x if I can’t find a fix for it.

If you don’t like the looks of Firefox 3’s new location bar (I hate it), then try the Oldbar addon. It keeps the functionality of the new Firefox 3 url bar, but makes it look more like Firefox 2.

It’s easy enough to backup the text content of a Wordpress.com blog using Manage > Export to download it in XML format - this can easily be imported into any recent version of Wordpress. But if you want to backup all the images you’ve uploaded to Wordpress.com without downloading them one by one, download and install the excellent Firefox extension DownThemAll, then go to your Wordpress blog’s Manage > Media Library page and set DownThemAll to download all your image links on the page.

eBay are obviously having a few problems, not only with EPN, but with their user logins. People from all over the world are loading up a fresh eBay page to be greeted as step00001. Nice going guys. If I was step00001 I’d be asking eBay a few questions right about now.
If you’ve been lazy (like me) and let hundreds of pending links accumulate in your PHPLD directory, here’s a simple way to delete all the pending links in one go. Start up phpMyAdmin, go to the SQL page and run this this query:
DELETE FROM PLD_LINK WHERE STATUS = 1
If you want to approve all pending links, use this instead:
UPDATE PLD_LINK SET STATUS=2 WHERE STATUS=1
TWP Auctions can now display eBay auctions from non US countries using country codes (au, uk, etc…), so if your site is in Italian (or whatever) you can have geographically targeted auctions in your own language. The new version also includes a blank “onmouseover” function that hides the rover link in the user’s status bar.
This will probably be last release for a while. Get it here.
Here’s an example (in Italian):

I’ve put together a similar site to mycjreport.com to analyze EPN (eBay Partner Network) affiliate reports - it’s here.
If anyone finds any bugs with the site, or if you just want to leave a comment - please go here.
