monetise.it is my latest little baby :)

I’d be more than happy to let other people post to it – I just didn’t know how to approach them about it

Email me directly if you are interested!

Regarding the phone unlocking – that’s a HUGE market if any of the other sites I’ve come across are anything to go by

What I was looking at was the unlocker. However, after speaking with Pat, now I realise it’s not free. But even still I think it would be a great little honey pot for search engine traffic – thousands and thousands of searches every month for ‘unlock’ mobile related search strings. And people who unlock might also me interested in Pat’s product. He might even make an extra couple of quid from the unlock service :grin:

I still don’t get the RAID 0 LOL

What’s monetise.it? You? That’s one sweet looking theme.

Why isn’t there an Irish group blog on Internet marketing? Along the lines of Search Engine Land with different specialists contributing, but with a broad Internet marketing theme.

If you mean the link to their affiliate program – I’d already read about it somewhere else and posted about it last night on http://www.monetise.it

If you mean something else, then I’m obviously too tired :)

I use both the FF spell-checker and Google toolbar spell thingey. Normally sees me through. Why am I not surprised about your affinity for the affiliates program :mrgreen:

@Eoghan – I owe you that link so just let me know what you’d like. Feel free to keep the offer for a rainy day if you like!

Not 100% sure, but it involves a new sim, and I presume a new number. You can then top it up as often as you want. So sort of a ‘pay-as-you-go’ international sim card.

You can then receive free incoming calls and fairly serious reductions on outgoing calls made while abroad.

Great idea and it has gotten tremendous exposure in just two days – mentions all over the place.

How does this actually work then?

(Apologies for hijacking the thread for something totally non-SEO related :-))

I just took the first ones along the the initial click path.

Oh, and most of the above is all about usability (which in my view is SEO’s big brother). Usability is what turns traffic into customers IMO. I have a draft blog post (yet another one :() all about this relationship which needs to have the cobwebs blown off.

Still on Thai time ATM… grrr

BTW what is the target geographic market for this?

Best rgds

Great post, was all that advice for free? :-)

I seen the news coverage today and the first thing that popped into my head was the use of a Skype number. I think Pat’s idea is great and I am sure its going to really take off. Even I might become a customer as I travel North every chance I get so I carry two sim cards!

Anyway, as for he hidded asset on his site? I think it would be the affiliate section ;-)

I presume you’re talking about the phone unlocking page? I hadn’t seen anything like that before; thought you had to take your mobile to some dodgy, back-street shop for that. That could do with a site all of its own!

Cheers Richard
