Child Labour and Chocolate

The Bond family quest for global internet domination moved up a notch last night when my daughter Natasha launched her first website, not technically child labour as every penny the site earns will be for her and HMR&C to divi up.

Natasha’s site is Alternative Fashion, don’t be put off by the lack of posts the blog is only 1 day old, this is a girl that has managed to post over 10,000 times on Gaia in four years, that rate of production channeled into affiliate marketing should quickly produce results.

Anyone with a clothing / fashion / lifestyle site or blog who wants to exchange links with Alternative Fashion just contact me and I’ll sort it out.

Which brings us on to Chocolate, anyone who has been on the a4uforum recently will have noticed that Chris Clarkson and the Sunshine team have been very active recruiting affiliates with a series of incentives and missions the ultimate prize being a place on the Affiliate Future Barbados 2008 event, the prizes for the missions themselves have been pretty good too winning affiliates have been whisked off to the sun .

Mission #8 was simply to Deeplink from a hotel, resort or country themed page to the relevant page on sunshine.co.uk, I’m pleased to say that has won me a ticket in the prize draw for one of the Barbados places.

Apparently there are now 13 people in with a chance of winning one of the 2 tickets to Barbados, pretty good odds so maybe I should keep quiet about Mission #9.

OK you have twisted my arm Mission #9 is to add one of the excellent dynamic Sunshine offer banners to your travel site.

The winner of this mission will win a one year subscription to the Hotel Chocolat Tasting Club and an entry in the Barbados prize draw! (bet you were wondering where chocolate came in).

My new travel site was set up partly as a vehicle to get involved with these missions, although I left it late and only went live a couple of days ago, the site is Algarve Hotels which was inspired by an excellent week I spent at Paul and Jules villa in Portugal.
