Members Area Scheduled for Testing

Doesn`t time fly? Friday`s here again and in no time at all it`ll be Christmas and expenses will be flowing faster than a running tap. Thankfully though, pay day is just around the corner - so you`re probably still in time to save a few pennies and closet some commissions before the Christmas season really kicks in.

This month, those that are normally paid by a BACS bank transfer will receive their monies after the weekend (on Monday 10th), and those that receive their monies through PayPal should get hold of their funds on Wednesday 13th. However, those that receive their commissions and bonuses by cheque are unfortunately in the hands of Postman Pat and the local postal service. (Remember, if you want to change this option and speed up the way in which you receive your commissions each month, email us at: affiliates@bone-fish.com).

This week we have another piece of good news for you. After months and months of waiting with anticipation, Bone Fish`s new members` area is now scheduled for live beta pre-launch testing (phase II).

Fresh, funky, functional and fabulously fantastic, the new members` area will be open for testing between Friday and Sunday of next week. Essentially, that`s a whole weekend for you, our affiliates, to pull it to pieces or praise us for all our hard work over the past year.

Those that have volunteered to give us a hand with the testing of the new system will be contacted shortly, and those that would like to join in the fun can request the necessary testing documentation as from today.

And that`s about it. All that`s left to say is keep watching this space because next week we`ll be announcing how to access our fantastic new member`s area that will revolutionise the world of online dating. (Well, at least we hope it will).

Until next week....

The Bone Fish Guide to Online Marketing

Google Tools

For the past month we`ve been providing you with top quality videos to help you with your SEO and online marketing techniques. However, some of you out there are still very much geared towards reading the written-word to help you get that much further. As such, this week we`ve found three very interesting articles that are all related to Google.

The first article discusses some surprising new features on Google Analytics (for example, advanced segmentation and custom reports); the second link takes you to an article on how Google has changed the way that it calculates quality score and ranks ads; and the third discusses search result lockdowns.

All three are well-worth a read and may just help you with the way you approach your marketing strategies.
