Comments on: Using Pzizz for Headache Relief http://persistenceunlimited.com/2006/12/using-pzizz-for-headache-relief/ Goal Setting and Productivity for People Who Like Technology Thu, 25 Aug 2011 18:08:19 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc By: Chris http://persistenceunlimited.com/2006/12/using-pzizz-for-headache-relief/comment-page-1/#comment-1858 Chris Tue, 05 Dec 2006 21:45:14 +0000 http://persistenceunlimited.com/2006/12/using-pzizz-for-headache-relief/#comment-1858 Why the fuss over an affiliate link? I would have thought if you have found this site you were smart enough to make up your own mind! The link is in context to the post and highly relevent to the theme of the blog, why should it be in the sidebar? If like-minded people want to share points, tools, methods etc then that is great. I had never heard of Pzizz but have since checked it out & am very happy that the link was there & not in the sidebar or I would have missed it. Why the fuss over an affiliate link?

Mitch, thanks for stopping by and clarifying. Have you checked the <a href="http://persistenceunlimited.com/archives/" rel="nofollow">archives</a>? there is over a year of posts for motivation. However, sleep is a necessary part of health and wellness. And believe it or not, can be motivating if managed properly. Many people, including me, believe humans need a short nap during the day to maintain peak productivity. Countless studies support this. For me to just talk about motivation, which is only a small portion of this site's focus, misses the big picture. It would be like a baker being given only flour to bake a cake. There are many ingredients that make up a highly productive and goal achieving life, motivation is just one of them. There's an old saying "If you motivate an idiot do you know what you've got? A motivated idiot." What that means is motivation can't do it all, there has to be balance, rest, yin/yang and all that good stuff. “Let’s see some posts to motivate instead of posts about software for sleep.”

I really don't care if you've mentioned it before, that's irrelevant. And yes JoAnn, that's what I'm doing. Just complaining about affiliate links. That's what I do. Very smart of you to figure that out. I will use your affiliate link to purchase some software also. Again, very smart. My point is, save the affiliate links for the sidebar.

Perhaps you should try Brad's software and set some goals for yourself.

I don't think Mitch has been a reader for long, or he would know how much you liked pzizz, LONG before you were an affiliate. I got the same impression.

Achieve-IT! readers are bright enough as you are to know an affiliate link. But by the same token, I've recommended pzizz in the past without including an affiliate link. If I am going to link to a product I really do love, what's wrong with linking in such a way that my readers can help the blog? As far as it being an ad..umm..it's a true story. Personally, your post seems a bit paranoiac to me. Lighten up. Mitch, I am guessing this is probably your first time here. Achieve-IT! readers are bright enough as you are to know an affiliate link.

I love the affiliate link too so that you get paid for recommending it. Thanks for the advertisement disguised as a blog entry.
