[Great Deal] ‘Changelog Droid’ Free For 24 Hours With Coupon Code ($1.87 Off)

Changelog Droid, an app that not only shows changelogs of applications you have installed all in one convenient place but also monitors apps that you haven’t installed and keeps history of changes over time, is on sale for 24 hours. And by sale I mean it’ll cost you about free fifty. I’ve played around with the app for the last half an hour and found it to be very polished, pleasant to use, and, more importantly, actually handy. It even has a DashClock extension.

Since the Play Store doesn’t allow apps to switch from free to paid, the developer is using the next best method – a coupon code. Usually, the downside of this is that if you uninstall and reinstall later or install to another device once the coupon expires, you will likely lose the paid features. Speaking of which, the $1.87 premium license removes ads and adds support for themes. If I were you, I’d use something like Titanium Backup or Helium (the latter doesn’t even need root) to back up and restore this app in the future. In this case, the developer went the extra mile and made sure that any entered coupon codes with be forever associated with your Google account. Thank you, Cypressious.

To get Changelog Droid Premium for free, load up the free Changelog Droid app and enter code appoftheday by going to Menu – Preferences.

Is Affiliate Marketing Dead?

avatar

This is going to be a short blog post and for that I will apologize up front.

But, I intended for this to be more of a comment-driven exploration than a “this is how you do this” type of blog post.

Recently, we switched affiliate network providers (to one of the most respected in the space) and were absolutely stunned to find that over 80% of the applications to our program are from “deal”, “coupon” or “virtual mall” websites. To me, these sites are total parasites that should be eliminated from the web.

Side note: As I think back upon the sales pitch that was made to me to get me to join, I’ve become more furious. Their questions all centered around whether or not I had a lot of existing traffic. Basically, they wanted to ensure that their filthy coupon sites would have enough built-in traffic from which to leach. Stupidly, I didn’t realize this at the time.

Back to the coupon affiliates. Let’s break down their so-called value. A customer is already on my site and ready to make a purchase. They see a “coupon code” box, open up a new browser tab, and search for my company name + “coupon code”. Google returns a bunch of slimy websites that purport to offer HUGE SAVINGS! on all things related to my site. The user clicks through to “activate” the offer, proceeds to make their purchase, and the affiliate gets their cut of a sale that would have taken place regardless of their existence. They did not send us a lead or a sale. They interrupted the flow of the sale. They’re a useless middle man. It’s almost antithetical to the entire premise of the Internet.

Affiliates, by definition, are supposed to be providing enormous value. This is why they get a cut of the action! Coupon and deal websites provide zero value. Sorry, but broadcasting the free shipping offer that is already plastered across my website is of zero value. And posting a coupon code that a visitor could just as easily receive by signing up for a free email newsletter is not providing value. You are not sending new customers to me. You are hijacking my existing customers!

Coupon sites are a pure SEO play. And I understand why they’re so enticing to create. You have a built-in audience. There are coupon feeds to automate content on your site. Simply put, it’s far easier than carving out your own audience.

Because these types of affiliates are essentially stealing sales that a merchant would otherwise get, my suggestion to merchants would be to start your own “coupon” or “deal” section on your website. You should rank very well for your company name + “coupon”, “promo” or “discount code”. Funnel that organic traffic right back to your site and forget those inane coupon sites! Secondly, I wouldn’t suggest allowing any coupon sites into your program. We have denied every single one… which has left very few other sites to choose from.

So, let’s return to my original question. Are true affiliates (the ones that own a niche and send their dedicated readers to your store) a dying breed? And why should they bother competing against the parasitical coupon stores? I would argue that they shouldn’t… especially since their link could be overrode at the last instant by the consumer who searches for a coupon immediately prior to placing their order.

So, logic would dictate that merchants, realizing that there is no inherent value in coupon sites, will stop offering commissions to them. Eventually, with no revenue stream, will the coupon sites disappear? Will this allow “true” affiliates to return?

What are you feelings on the matter? Let me know in the comment section!

Evan Weber says:

Coupon sites and coupon code keyword bidders are in their own segment and totally seperate from web publishers, bloggers, fan page owners, newsletter owners, and loyalty portals. The best thing about affiliate marketing is how diverse it is. Yes, a lot of coupon oriented affiliates has sprung up in the last 5-7 years, partly because of the bad economy and more thift oriented consumers looking for coupons. It’s up to the merchant running the affiliate program to recruit more of the right types of affiliates through various means such as using the networks’ recruiting tools, contacting websites in their niche, and leveraging agencies with niche affiliates in their reach. Affiliates can be advertised for in search and on Facebook very effectively. I’ve beening doing this for 10+ years. The networks are never going to discourage a merchant from accepting a coupon affiliate because they make money from it, and some data shows that people that use coupons spend more and become more loyal, which is debatable. No company running an affiliate program should pay all their affiliates the same rate anyways, the program should be micro-managed based on the value each affiliate is delivering. This can be accomplished by passing the publisher’s ID with the orders and then seeing the lifetime value of the customers over time. If the company feels they would have those sames anyways they pay a seriously reduced commission or not admit them as you suggest. The merchant can also run their own coupon code ads in Google and Bing Ads, as well as launch a page o ntheir site for organic rankings with the “official” coupon codes. They can also give a coupon to all visitors in the checkout so they never go looking for it.

Affiliates with niche sites that bring in new customers can be awarded greater commissions rates, however what happens is the niche affiliates usually don’t realize those good commisison rates because the company is payout out to the coupon affiliates and lumping all affiliates together, which should never be the case. There definitely are 1000′s if not 10s of thousands of great affiliates in most niches out there to affiliate with, but most copanies don’t have the connections, where with all, or staff to coordinate the recruiting effort. To really grow a large productive affiliate program, it takes years of recruiting on the network and off the network, and then making the whole program more productive by actually managing all those relationships, runnign sales contests, awarding bonuses, and other motivational actions.

To suggest affiliate marketing is dead is completely absurd, it’s bigger than ever, however you have to have competent people running your affiliate program, actively recruiting niche affiliates and other companies to be your affiliates, and proactively managing all the relationships. I founded a company 6 years ago to focus on just that and it’s still a working a progress and can always be more effective. If you just rely on what any network brings you, it likely won’t bring much value, although some companies think it’s doing great with the coupon sites and toolbar publishers. Personally, I think there can be a place in the program for most every type of affiliate at the right commissions rate. However, I’ve had to err on the side of maximize ROI for our clients to really deliver value. Recruiting niches is a much harder effort that’s for sure because even though they are related sites they still covert much less well that a coupon site would since that person is in the buying process. I’m gald you wrote the piece to bring the issue to people’s consciousness. There is a better way forward for any company with niche affiliates, as long as the product isn’t too niche. The other intagible that can’t be overlooked is the merchant’s own website conversion rates. A lot of companies just expect their affiliates to produce and they never work on improving their own conversions, and then compplain the niche affiliates don’t produce when they aren’t helping the cause. So the issues is much broader than just coupon sites or not coupon sites. That’s my 2 cents.

RadioShack Selling 32GB Nexus 7 for $229 Plus Free Shipping With Coupon

RADIOSHACK nexus 7 deal

Thanks to coupon code “RARMNJ1320″ you can grab a 32GB Nexus 7 from RadioShack for $229.99 along with free shipping. That’s a total savings of 26.99. Keep in mind that Google is currently selling the 32GB version for $249 and will then charge you $14 to have it shipped. So if you compare to what Google is doing, you are actually saving even more money.

Once you have added the device to your cart and you head to checkout, you’ll have to type in the entire coupon code, as pasting it doesn’t seem to work. Once applied, you should see the discount immediately (pictured above).

If you live near a RadioShack and do not want to wait for it ship, in-store pick-up is free as well.

Deal Alert: 32 GB Asus Transformer Pad TF300T Going for Just $285 at Best Buy

Sections: Computers, Mobile Computers

It’s hard to advocate a high-end Android tablet against one of Apple’s iPads, but we’ve always said that if the price is right a Google-powered slate can be a more-than-decent choice. Enter the Asus Transformer Pad TF300T, available today for a mere 285-bucks from Best Buy Computing Clearance.

Mind you, this is not a sleek budget-friendly 7-incher like the Nexus 7, but a full-fledged massive 10-inch tablet with an above-par spec sheet. Now, don’t be expecting a Full HD panel or a state-of-the-art CPU from this baby.

Instead, what you’ll be getting is a 1,280 x 800 pix res IPS LCD screen, a 1.2 GHz quad-core Tegra 3 CPU, 1 GB of RAM, 32 GB of on-board storage, Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, and an 8 MP rear-facing camera. Nothing too extraordinary (besides maybe the 8 MP snapper,) but it’s awfully attractive at less than $300.

To take advantage of the deal, you’ll have to enter the “TRUELOVE25” coupon code on Best Buy before checkout. The $400 list price will magically go down to $284.99 and you’ll have a snazzy red tab to wrap up with a bow and give as a Valentine’s Day gift to your better half. Or you can keep it, because there’s nothing wrong with wanting to be in style, is it?

Unconventional Ways to Score an Online Deal


Kyle James

Kyle James

Conventional bargain-hunting methods include checking coupon websites, subscribing to retailers’ newsletters, and doing a quick Google search for a coupon code. But what do you do when these methods leave you without a discount? Consider these four alternatives that could easily ensure you don’t pay full price when shopping online:

Use live chat. Many online retailers utilize a live chat service, where they have operators standing by to answer questions about products and services. In many cases, these operators are also armed with online coupon codes to give consumers just for the asking. Offers may include free shipping and up to 25 percent off your online purchase. If you can’t find a coupon for a specific online retailer, open a chat session, if available, and politely ask the operator if they would be kind enough to share a coupon to help lower your bill. Remember to be polite, as many operators will be inclined to have you pay full price if you are rude or abrupt with them.

Abandon the shopping cart. Another online shopping trend that is gaining traction is the virtual cart abandonment strategy. In an effort to build customer loyalty, online retailers are sending a coupon code via email to shoppers who have abandoned their cart before finalizing their purchase. A few of the popular online retailers that are actively employing this technique include Best Buy, Lands’ End, Zappo’s, Home Depot, and Bass Pro Shops.

For this to work, you’ll need to register with the retailer, login to your account, add the items you want to purchase to your cart or basket, and proceed through the checkout process until you reach the payment page. It is not until you reach the payment page that you want to abandon or logout of your shopping session. By doing this, you increase your chances of getting an email from the retailer saying something like, “Hi, please come back to our site and finish your purchase. As our way of saying how much we appreciate your business, use coupon code SAVE15 to get 15 percent off your next purchase.”

Get social. Do you have a few online retailers you regularly shop at? If so, make sure you “’like” their Facebook page and follow them on Twitter. A majority of online retailers are using their social media accounts to not only interact with loyal shoppers but to share coupons and discounts. Many of these coupons are exclusively provided to their social media followers and can’t be found anywhere else online.

Discounted Gift Cards. Are you aware you can purchase gift cards to popular online stores at less than face value? Do a quick Google search for “discounted gift cards” and you’ll find reputable websites that buy and sell gift cards. These sites purchase unwanted gift cards from consumers and re-sell them for slightly more than what they paid. For example, they might buy a $100 gift card for $85 and resell it to you for $92 with free shipping. This is a great savings strategy for consumers if you know you are going to purchase a high-priced item from a specific retailer. You can easily save 10 to 15 percent by buying discounted gift cards. They also make for great last-minute gift ideas.

As technology changes, so does the way retailers interact with customers. As savvy consumers, knowledge is power, and that has never been truer than in the world of technology and the Internet. By knowing these four unconventional ways to find a coupon or deal, you have a new arsenal of tools at your disposal when shopping online. No longer are you forced to pay full price when a coupon seems unavailable.
