As print book reviews shrink and independent bookstores face stiff competition from online retailers, will book bloggers assume the role of the hand-seller? Can their enthusiasm in spreading the word about great new books have a measurable impact on publishers' bottom lines?
At the first annual Book Blogger Conference, the jury was still out on these questions, though judging by the number of online marketing specialists in attendance from the major houses, the potential for bloggers to have some sales impact is clear.
One blogger who is actively engaged with this question is Candace Levy (a.k.a. @bethfishreads on Twitter). A full-time freelance book editor for several decades, she also reviews books on her blog, Beth Fish Reads, and in print publications as a freelance writer, in a range of genres from adult nonfiction to middle reader fantasy, and in formats from ARCs to classics.
I caught up with Candace recently to dig into the issues – read on, for our Q&A. We also hope you will join us on Twitter this coming Thursday from 4-5pm ET, for a #followreader chat on this topic.
To what extent are book bloggers are influencing book sales right now?
I would like to think that book bloggers are beginning to have an effect, though I don't have proof. But the industry is certainly paying more attention to us. One sign is the fact that BookExpo America (BEA) offered bloggers the same media passes they give to print journalists, and embraced the first-ever Book Bloggers Convention. And while last year at BEA many presses seemed uninterested in talking to bloggers, this year most were very welcoming.
What do the publicists you work with say about bloggers's clout?
They definitely see our growing cultural influence. Caitlin Hamilton Summie, who handles publicity for Unbridled Books, recently told me, "Bloggers are driving much of the conversation nowadays about books (and publishing in general), and that conversation builds buzz, for both specific titles and for publishers' brands. I expect the influence of bloggers only to build, especially because the blogging community is paying attention to all kinds of books the mainstream media is all too ready to dismiss."
Erin Deedy at Peachtree Publishers says bloggers have helped raised awareness about the press: "We are still very new to book blogging and Twitter, having been involved for less than a year, so we are currently assessing the impact of blog tours, blog reviews, and social media. That being said, working with bloggers has increased peoples' knowledge of Peachtree Publishers and our books. We've had so many more people seeking us out at shows and conferences or saying, "Hey, I love that book! I didn't realize it was from Peachtree," and we even have increased traffic on our blog and website on days when posts go up on [book] blogs."
But it's still not clear how much bloggers affect the bottom line, according to independent online publicist Lisa Roe: "Blogger coverage and the impact on book sales can be difficult to determine, given the variety of online purchasing options. The focus needs to be on how to utilize bloggers and their networks by connecting them with publicists, authors, and bookstores to create entire communities around titles. Personal attention to the readership goes a long way toward driving sales."
How can book bloggers work together to have a bigger influence on book sales?
I can think of a few specific things bloggers have done that likely made a difference, although I have no way of measuring the effect. First, there have been several cases in which a single blogger has promoted a favorite book or author: For example, Alea from Pop Culture Junkie has been active in her support of Willow, by Julia Hoban, and Amy from My Friend Amy is hosting a reading challenge focused on books by one of her favorite authors, Beth Kephart. Some bloggers do an excellent job of covering author events and thus introduce their readers to authors in a personal and approachable manner. For example, Kathy from Berumdaonion's Weblog reported on a local community event with author Jennifer Niven and then offered a signed book to one of her readers.
Some bloggers (like me) have run challenges or features that promote a particular imprint. I believe that I have made a difference for Amy Einhorn Books (even if slight). If nothing else, my readers now know the books, the imprint, and the editor. The authors in that imprint have been amazingly supportive and have helped promote the challenge. I plan to continue to promote favorite imprints and editors.
Do you think that bloggers partnering with booksellers might be a key to influencing sales?
Bloggers and independent bookstores can work together on a number of levels to hand-sell books and authors. If a bookstore publishes a newsletter, they could feature a local (or favorite) blogger's review in each issue, and actively involve bloggers in their websites, through mutual links. Stores could also add a bloggers' pick shelf to sit alongside the staff picks. I know of at least one instance where a bookstore (Just the Bookstore in Glen Ellyn, Illinois) printed up bookmarks to use in books that were recommended by particular bloggers (Jen of Devourer of Books was one of those bloggers – she tweeted a photo of her bookmark.
Some bloggers feel that if too many people cover the same books, it leads to a lack of variety on blogs. Yet, isn't it important for bloggers to come to a consensus on a book – and spread the word widely – in order to have a significant impact on sales?
Very tricky question. I think if the buzz and mass of reviews come about naturally (perhaps like we saw with The Hunger Games or the Steig Larsson books), then there is a stronger impact and a longer-lasting wave. When 30 reviews appear of the same book appear within a week or so, but those reviews are the result of a tour, then there is a sense that the excitement is artificial, even if the book deserves the buzz.
Publicists and tour services have to walk a fine line between generating timely reviews and not over-saturating their audience. I think most companies have given up on the idea of a mass of reviews on a single day and are either asking their reviewers to post within a certain time period (say a two-month window) or are spreading out the tour stops.
The other side of this issue is that if everyone reviews the same books then how are we to discover the sleepers? I'm talking about the gems of books that used to be spotted by independent booksellers. This is an area in which bloggers could have an effect. I would love it if every blogger made an effort review at least one lesser-known book a month. If a blogger found a winner and if he or she promoted that book on the blog and/or by working with an independent bookstore, then maybe we'd see a revival of the hand-selling phenomenon.

A few day's ago I was doing some indirect competitor research and came across a double listing for 99Designs. They served me a .com & .ca paid search ad…which is wasteful at best. Not sure who runs their paid search but that person or agency should be doing a better job.
However, it got me thinking about what if every brand started showing a .com and a local TLD for ever search results related to their brand name. With right hand side ads being extinct, this would be a smart strategy to gain more SERP real estate with the only down side being wasted impressions on one of your accounts.
This could be a mistake on 99Designs part but maybe this is a bold new strategy they are trying with the new reality of the search world we live in.

Keeping up with the latest trends is one thing, being able to have the trendy stuff in your possession is another. While it's definitely acceptable to have a couple of versatile pairs of shoes that can go with everything, chances are you wouldn't be able to pull off some looks as well as you want.
Fret not, dear fashionista, because there are plenty of affordable pairs you can get if you know the styles to go for and where to look. We've come up with a list of tips on selecting and buying a pair of high heels you can afford to buy so you can stock up on the latest trends. Let's get started!
Best buying tip: use discount codes!
Who doesn't love buying items at a discount? With voucher codes, you'll be able to slash serious money off the cost of shoes so that the discounted price would fall within your budget. There are plenty of voucher codes for shoe retailers online – just do a quick Google search and you'll see what we mean. Also, with voucher codes you won't have to toss a coin to choose just one pair, because you'll be able to afford buying two, or even three with special promos during clearance sales. You can grab discount codes for Public Desire from Total Discounts.
Which ones to buy?
The kind of high heels to get would depend on the range of styles in your wardrobe, but the most common ones that have proven to look great when paired with various kinds of outfits include platforms, wedges, stilettos and court shoes.
- Platforms – platform heels provide added height without sacrificing comfort. The arch of the foot isn't as high compared to stilettos and provide great support so you can walk in them for hours on end. The heights of platform heels vary, but around four to five inches would be a safe bet – higher than that and you would have to be careful lest you take a nasty fall. Boho styles, skinny jeans and mid-length dresses look even better with platforms.
- Wedges – wedges are somewhat similar to platforms in that they also provide height and support, but the main difference is that they have a solid heel. Wedges can be worn on casual and formal occasions depending on style, and they can easily be matched with jeans, dresses and skirts. Fashion faves in this shoe category are wedge ankle boots and strappy sandals.
- Stilettos – stilettos can make anyone feel elegant and sophisticated. Play it up with the right outfit and you can be a femme fatale! Characterised by a sleek silhouette and thin, tapering heels, stilettos are a must for power dressing. These heels can make your legs look longer, therefore making you look more svelte and chic. Stilettos are perfect for a range of looks, from slinky little black dresses to casual ripped jeans.
- Court shoes – court shoes have evolved from being known as "what you wear to a job interview" to "shoes that come in a wide variety of designs you can't pick just one." From pointed to peep-toe ones, court shoes let you mix and match clothes and they still look great and feel comfortable to boot. The thicker-than-stiletto heels mean you have more heel support and won't go limp at the end of the day.
Those are just some of the best high heels you can afford to buy with voucher codes for your favourite retailers and clearance outlets. Which ones are you looking to add to your collection?

Perfect Chance at Love Series
A Couple by Christmas
Perfect Chance at Love Series
Book 1: Love by Delivery
Dominique Hayes is praying for a Godly husband, as is her best friend, Paige. She had actually strayed into dating men outside of her faith but quickly found they were not what God wanted for her. So, she'd wait.
Ashton Taylor is praying for a Godly wife. There are plenty of women at his church who were more than willing to fill that role—but he wanted love. And then...he delivered a package on his delivery route.
A wonderful story of waiting on God and trusting Him to bring your soul mate in His time—not yours. And even when He does...the road to love is not always a smooth one. Loved this story and looking forward to reading Paige's story, Dominique's best friend.********************
Book 2: Late Summer Love
Paige Blake had been waiting patiently...okay, maybe a little bit impatiently at times...for God to send a godly man to be her husband. At least she'd had her friend Dominique to go to singles meetings and such, but now her friend is happily married and Paige is on her own. She's met a handsome man, but handsome doesn't cut it if he isn't godly.
Blake Cross is at a family reunion and not intentionally looking for romance. But the minute the beautiful Paige shares the elevator with him, he wants to get to know her more. Usually his looks, muscles, and all around self is enough to snag a woman. Not her.
The author's characters are humans and therefore sinners, but she writes them in a way to show their struggles to do God's will rather than their own. To truly know God, we do have to read His Word and talk to Him in prayer. Not just say we are Christians and sit back and follow the ways of our culture.
Derek and Robyn Washington had once been a family. A church-going, Christian family. They had a son, Tyler. Two years ago they had let petty bickering escalate as they went through a divorce.
Christmas is coming. Their son will turn six. Both Derek and Robyn are different people. After spending last Christmas alone, Derek doesn't want that this year for Robyn. Can two people who were once in love—and then acted so hateful that they didn't see or speak to each other—spend a few days together for the sake of their son?
If you get emotional when reading, this is definitely a book to have a box of tissues handy. I loved the story and look forward to reading more about this couple.

Sweet Christmas Kisses 3: A Couple by Christmas
Restore My Soul Series
Book 1: Crowning Glory
Karyn Wallace has committed a crime, served her time, and is now out on parole. Besides her roommate and some folks at church—her past is her business. God has forgiven her so she doesn't have to broadcast it. Not even the guy she's falling in love with. Or does she?
Levi Tolliver has been going through life not fully alive for four years now. Ever since the night his wife was murdered. He does have his wonderful daughter and she is the joy of his life. And he has his sister-in-law—although often times he could do without Jet and her bitter attitude. Can he truly find love and happiness a second time? It almost seems possible when he meets Karyn.
Pastor Rossi Tolliver, Levi's cousin and business partner, has been praying for many people, Levi included. He wants to be happy that his cousin is finally coming out of mourning but God keeps urging him to pray for this situation. Not to mention constant prayer for Jet, who seems to be getting more angry and bitter with each year since Diane's death.
Just because someone has spent time in prison does not mean they are beyond hope. Especially where God intervenes. And for those who come out, life is not easy. It seems they have EX-CON stamped on their foreheads and everyone writes them off as hopeless. This book gives a unique view from Karyn's perspective.
Book 1.5: Jet: Back Story
Jesetta "Jet" Hutchens, as the older sister, has watched over her younger sister, Diane, since their parents died. They are best friends. She watches as her sister falls in love, marries, and gives birth. And then she loses her sister and that hole is filled up with unforgiveness and anger.
The quiet voice of Pastor Rossi Tolliver is always there, urging her to hand things over to God. Jet just can't get through the anger—or the past—to move on, or to allow God control of her life.
This novella is told from Jet's point of view only. It spans about eight years of her life. The reader can first meet Jet in book one; Crowning Glory and her story continues in book three; Love Led by the Spirit.
Book 3: Love Led by the Spirit
Minister Rossi Tolliver waited patiently for the Lord to bring him a wife. There were plenty of women who would love to be his wife—but he wanted the one who had his heart. Good thing Rossi was a patient—and godly—man.
Jesetta "Jet" Hutchens' life had been a bit rocky the past seven years. Her only sister, Diane, had been murdered and Jet's life had gone into a tailspin. You can read her backstory in JET. After returning to St. Louis, Jet is hoping to be a better person. And as before, Rossi is there to help her. Only God can help remove the hate and bitterness, though.
From book one; Crowning Glory, I've looked forward to Rossi and Jet's story. Her backstory really lets the reader see inside Jet and how she thinks. How she feels. Not everyone is ready to trust and forgive her for some of her past reactions. Good story all around. Especially how often we accept God's forgiveness without the willingness to forgive others.

Nathan Andersen and his brothers have been brought up to help others. He thought he was doing pretty good until God brought Noelle into his life. She has such a passion for helping the children she teaches and others in need. If she can gain a passion for God, she'll be the perfect woman for him.
Noelle sees so many single mothers who struggle to keep their children fed and a roof of any kind over their heads. Women who had trusted men to be good and believed they'd take care of them. Can she trust a man with her future?

Bless you, ladies.
When I first started writing, somebody, possibly an editor, told me that some of the best works are the ones with 'you' on the pages. I never fully understood that until I began working on edits for my first contracted book, which by the way, I sold through a Seekerville contest. As I read over notes and read the story afresh for the first time in years, I saw multiple little things of me, a me who had gone through what I had thought, and what probably had been, the toughest season in my life.
The emotion, the scriptures God had laid on my heart, the hope, the forgiveness, the internal fight to keep my flesh from winning over the spirit man. It was all there on the pages of a book that I had been told would never sell. That was in 2013.
And like a snowball rolling down Mount Everest, life seemingly ran out of control. Through it, somehow, I turned in two more books. Maybe not quite as efficient as I'd hoped, but given the circumstances, I'm certain it was still an accomplishment, and yes, I allowed my emotions to ooze all over the pages. Fortunately, I had awesome editors who toned me down. ;)
But then after some major curveballs were thrown for my husband's mom and her husband, leaving me physically and emotionally drained, I didn't want to be me.
In February of 2015, as I sat in the infectious disease doctor's office with my mother-in-law waiting for her all clear, my father-in-law was at his oncologist's office getting a clean bill of health. He was weak, much smaller than he had been, and still couldn't eat more than a few bites of soft food, but he was cancer free and didn't need to return for another year.
I exhaled the breath I'd been holding for the last year and a half.
And I feared inhaling. Between all the craziness of those few years, I wanted to hold onto that exhale of relief for as long as possible. I even grounded my in-laws from any and all hospitals within a 60-mile radius. I'm not kidding.
I hid. I hid from phone calls, from emails, from family, and from writing. Somehow, I thought that if I wrote, nothing but the yucky emotions I had experienced the previous year would come out, and that just wasn't me. That had been me at one time, but I had moved beyond the whole woe-is-me, waiting for the other shoe to drop, person. Sooo, I just didn't write, not with any intentional effort. Occasionally I popped my head into my writer's hat only to happily be pulled out again by some tyranny of the urgent giant.
At some point, I'm not sure when, I decided it was okay to start breathing and to quit looking over my shoulder. At some point, I decided that no matter what, I would carry the fruits of the Spirit. At some point, I knew beyond any doubt that God's goodness was never, and would never be, dependent upon my circumstances.
At some point, I decided it was okay to find me again, or to just be me outside of a hardened shell of fear. At some point, I decided it was okay to write again and allow my emotions, whatever they were, to pour onto the page. After all, an author can't edit it a blank page, right? Besides, layering pieces of me onto blank pages made great stories, right?
At some point, I decide enough is enough, I was an author and I needed to write. So, I wrote. I went on an impromptu vacation with my parents and one of my daughters, and I breathed. I played in the ocean, and I breathed. I took pictures, listened to my daughter play her guitar while a homeless man sang House of the Rising Sun. I wrote, and I breathed. This was the me I loved. This was the me I wanted to be, the healed, whole, happy me after all the chaos of the previous years.
We returned to Kansas, and I was ready to embrace my life and write full-time. Two short weeks after we returned, I received another phone call, but I knew. I had known before I even left. I think we all knew. My father-in-law, a man I had grown to care and love deeply over those years of his battle with cancer, had started coughing and it wasn't a normal cough, and he'd grown weaker, this a short 7 months after his cancer free diagnosis. His doctor sent him home, and less than a week later he passed away. That entire week, as I sat with my mother-in-law and as I cared for my father-in-law in his final days, I wrote. In between family coming to say their last good-byes, I wrote. Through memories and blurred vision, I wrote. Through emotion, I wrote. Pieces of me filled blank pages.
In the early morning hours of November 17, 2015, I turned in the first real proposal I had turned in in a long while and then drove to my in-laws. It was evident when I arrived he wouldn't make it through the day, he didn't make it past noon. I stared out the picture window watching a lone male deer approached the fence line across the road through the misty fog as I listened to my father-in-law's last breaths.
I sold that book, and purposely gave myself a tight deadline. I wasn't going to allow the fear of being me own my life. I needed to write and I gave myself permission to breathe. My husband and I maintained our full ministry schedule, and I helped him through the busy Christmas season. One day we were driving down a road, and I told him that if all that we had been through the last few years was the worst we'd ever go through, we were blessed.
There was peace, and a sense of accomplishment, pride, and excitement. We survived. And I hadn't lost myself in those tough seasons. God had shown me that if I removed fear from the equation, I would be all right.
On March 15th, I turned in my manuscript and shortly thereafter, my husband started showing some signs of tiring. He'd been trying to keep the business running, full-time ministry, and doing all the things he could for his mom that his step-dad had done. We discussed closing the shop and I knew I needed to move more into a full-time writer mode, something I had tried and failed to do because I allowed too many things to take precedence. We never guessed, never really saw it coming, or maybe we did and chose not to see it, but on May 20th, after being treated for an ulcer, my husband was diagnosed with cancer. As I sat vigil during his times of rest I prayed, I read the Bible, and I wrote. On June 20th, less than a month after his diagnosis, he passed away.
If I am to be honest with you, I'd tell you that I haven't written much in the last six months, but it's not because I am fearful of being me during this toughest season of my life. In fact, I've embraced me, the sad me, the missing me, the happy me, the peaceful me, the mother of somewhat orphaned children me, the widow me. I wanted to write, I needed to write. I burned to write. However, there are a lot of things that come with death, especially when a business needs closing, and your mother-in-law decides it's time to sell her house and move out of state. May God bless her greatly.
Man, we had a lot of tears and laughter in the last year, especially the last 6 months. I also tried to maintain the momentum of the ministry my husband and I were a part of because I knew the people my husband ministered to had loved him and grieved him. They were watching me and my daughters, but especially me. Every time I gave a message 'they got me,' no matter how many times I intended otherwise. One time I stood in front of homeless men hardened by life, ex-gang members, veterans, and addicts and I gave them me, the me who tried to be strong for the kids and the family, the me who wanted to cry but couldn't, the me who wanted to hear 'I love you' one more time. There wasn't a dry eye. Somehow my message touched their core and moved them. And that is what our writing should do for our readers.
The week after my husband moved to Glory, I was asked by one of my co-pastors if I thought my writing would change and I knew the answer was yes. My writing is a constant evolution of me. When I evolve, and grow in the Lord, so does my writing. That is something I've come to understand and not fear. If I'm carrying myself in the fruits of the Spirit, it's okay to be me through the hard seasons, just as it's okay for you to be you through the hard seasons. The hard seasons have taught me to trust and depend on God in ways I never thought possible. The Lord is the biggest part of me and when I trust in His guidance and provision, my best stories are yet to come, especially if they have me all over them and create an emotional impact that ministers and sticks with the reader for a long while.
We all have tough seasons. I want to encourage you to embrace them, to find rest in them, the kind of rest that comes from fully trusting God.
If you're a reader, what is one of the most memorable scenes you've read that has stuck with you? If you're a writer what is one of the most emotional scenes you've written and where was it birthed from?

The Chicago White Sox are heading into the All-Star Break with their worst record since 1989. The team has been tough to watch, and the next four days off gives the players and fans time to forget about the first half.
The most important days for the White Sox will be the few weeks that end July, as the non-waiver trade deadline approaches. Reliever Matt Thornton was traded to Boston for an outfield prospect, so general manager Rick Hahn is selling off the pieces he can get value for. The outfielder, Brandon Jacobs, was considered the Red Sox 11th best prospect. While the Chicago White Sox have a loaded outfield in the minor league system, getting a player just outside an organization's top 10 for a 37-year old relief pitcher is a value.
Expect to hear a lot of trade rumors before July 31 about Alex Rios, Alexei Ramirez, John Danks, Jake Peavy (if healthy), and Jesse Crain.
The Chicago White Sox have dealt with a lot of injuries in 2013, but have seen some players return with positive results and could see more returns soon. John Danks has been pitching well since returning from a shoulder injury that required surgery to repair a capsule tear. Danks has a paltry two wins in 2013, but has recorded seven quality starts, a much better indicator of his solid return.
Gordon Beckham was on a hitting tear before a broken bone in his left hand put him on the shelf in early April. The long layoff has not slowed him down, as Beckham is hitting .335 overall in 2013. He did leave the second game of the doubleheader against Philadelphia July 13 with a quad bruise, but the break should give him enough time to return. Beckham may be one of the few players to watch for the Chicago White Sox during the final months of the season.
There is the hope that Paul Konerko comes back in the next 10-14 days. His rehab assignment starts July 18, and should last a week or so. A timetable for Konerko's return is on his wonky back. Any return to form to get his .230 average closer to .275 will make 2013 a little less disappointing for one of the White Sox best players in team history.
Josh Phegley will be one of a handful of young players to keep an eye on going forward. Phegley has made himself a household name with Sox fans already with clutch home runs and good play on defense. Expect Phegley to get majority of the at-bats from the catcher position.
The other three who could make some noise later in the season are Erik Johnson, Andre Rienzo, and Carlos Sanchez. Johnson is the team's best pitching prospect. He sat out most of 2013 with shoulder fatigue, but pitched well enough to get to AAA Charlotte. He left his first start with the Knights because of a groin issue. With that said if Chicago trades any starters, Johnson could get a spot start or two towards the end of 2013. I saw Rienzo pitch in late June against Indianapolis, and he has a chance to be successful in the majors. His control is an issue throughout his career, but a 3/1 strikeout-to-walk ratio in 2013 is promising. Carlos Sanchez is just a solid second baseman. He hits, fields, and can steal a base here and there. If Beckham or Ramirez is moved, Sanchez should see time in the majors.
2013 has been unkind to a franchise that is used to being in the chase for the playoffs. Most days will include really bad baseball, but the ones that include a healthy core and young talent playing for 2014 will be worth it on the south side.

PRN: UK Family Make Life Long HomeExchange Friends Before They Even Meet!
We left an information pack and map as well, highlighted with all our favourite restaurants and coffee bars for our exchange family.

UK Family Make Life Long HomeExchange Friends Before They Even Meet!
LONDON, January 9, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
A UK family home exchanging to California spent so much time emailing and talking to their exchange-family, before leaving for their trip, that they felt like they'd known them forever! Â Five or six weeks after sending out a request on HomeExchange.com for a Californian home swap, a suitable family was found and arrangements made.
"As time got closer we both organised to have somebody come in and leave enough fresh milk, bread, cheese, and ham to make a light meal, instead of having to shop before arriving at the house," says HomeExchange.com member Adrienne. "We also organised to swap our cars with a full tank of petrol, for the other person's arrival, and also a half tank of petrol when leaving. We left an information pack and map as well, highlighted with all our favourite restaurants and coffee bars for our exchange family."Â
With no hotel bills and the benefit of free accommodation, HomeExchange.com has quickly become the best way to experience the world like a local and to stay for free. Â It means that except for getting there, a holiday nearly anywhere in the world doesn't have to cost any more than staying at home.
"Our first HomeExchange was a fantastic experience," says Adrienne. "We actually met our exchange family for lunch on the day we were flying back home, and it was as though we had known them forever.  We've made a connection with this family, that we all feel will continue, and we intend to stay in touch and visit each other (and exchange again maybe!) in the future."
"As well as feeling like we were one of the locals, having a home rather than a rental property as our base saved us in the region of $3,500 to $4,000," says Adrienne. "Because we saved on car-hire and on accommodation, we were then able to spend extra on visiting theme parks with the kids." Â
Members simply log onto HomeExchange.com, create a listing, choose a location they want to visit, and begin coordinating an exchange for only $9.95 a month, with no additional fees. HomeExchange.com even guarantees that if you don't make an exchange in the first year, the second year is FREE. http://www.HomeExchange.com is the global leader in home exchange with 40,000 listings in 152 countries.

Unanswered: Copy and Paste Macro bogging down
I have a macro that copies and pastes fields, line by line into a different program open at the same time as Excel. Basically it tabs through the spreadsheet copying, then it switches focus to the 3rd party module and pastes the information into the module, tabs to the next field then goes back to the spreadsheet to copy the next field.
This seems to work except that it tends to get bogged down eventually and starts making mistakes when copying and pasting. I added some delays into the code but no matter how long I make them, I still see problems copying and pasting.
Is it bogging down because I am not purging the clipboard or something? Does anyone have any recommendations? I'm not even sure if purging the clipboard is necessary or possible. How nice it would be if they would just allow us to upload a CSV or Tab delimited text file to post, but no such luck

With regard to purging the clipboard, this is the line of code placed prior to the code doing a new copy.
Application.CutCopyMode = False
add a counter to the VBA code and record its value in a cell as you loop through the process,
and an If...End If block of code to go into debug when the counter reaches
(or just about to reach) the failure point. At that point, you examine what is
being copied and is the copy accurate. However, using debug may fail to find the problem because
you're stepping through the VBA code slowly, which may prevent the data-copying between two applications from tripping over itself.
Good luck.

McFarland, USA
PG | 129 min | Thursday, February 20, 2014
Movie Description
Starring Kevin Costner and directed by Niki Caro (Whale Rider, North Country), the Walt Disney Studios sports drama film, McFarland USA is based on a true story involving a California high school's cross-country squad's ascension from overwhelming underdog to championship status.
Cross-country coach Jim White (Costner) takes a job at a small-town high school in rural southern California (McFarland) in 1987. Finding himself in uncharted territory, White struggles to find a common ground at the predominantly Latino student population, especially his athletes, who although are surprisingly talented, have little or no fundamental training. The relationship between the whiter-than-white coach and his fledgling, mistrusting charges undergoes several frustrating stops and starts, but as both coach and athletes gradually develop a common goal, they become a formidable group. Despite overwhelming economic hardships in the small town, the athletes learn from White the rewards of dedication, commitment and passion to evolve from a ragtag bunch to a surrogate family group of champions.
Cast largely with unknowns and newcomers, McFarland, USA also features Maria Bello, Morgan Saylor, Martha Higareda, Carlos Pratts and Chris Ellis.
Disney Movie Rating:

Picture: Denise Martin (Finished 4th) Survivor: China Finale held at CBS Television City Los Angeles, California - 16.12.07
CBS will eventually create original programming for the Internet, CBS chief Les Moonves has told the Wall Street Journal. "The Web cannot be used just to put regurgitated network product on. We have to look beyond that, we have to look to put on original content," he said. Moonves disclosed that CBS has hired "a bunch of kids right out of various film schools in Los Angeles" to work full time on creating original series for the Web. "And, there will be a day -- and it won't be that far in the future -- where one of these series will catch on, you'll hear about it all over the place, and people will be looking at these shows and it will be millions and millions of people who are watching it every week."

In today's society, where we all lead busy and stressful lives, bathrooms have become the only place where peace and quiet can prevail (the lock on the door helps in this respect). A well-designed bathroom can also change the entire feel of your home (and if you believe the 'trusted estate agents', it can also add considerable value). To realise this and create a sanctuary from everyday life you need to give careful consideration to each aspect of the room; the type of basin (wall hung vs. counter top vs. pedestal), the toilet (close coupled vs. wall hung vs. back to wall), the bath (free standing vs. built in), and the shower (corner vs. quadrant vs. recessed vs. shower over bath)... and once you have done all that hard work you also need to think about the finishes for the floor and walls (which should complement and bring out the best in your sanitary ware).
Just like with the kitchen, spatial planning of the bathroom is critical... and not just because it's typically one of the smallest rooms in your home, but also because unlike the kitchen (where the majority of appliances are rectangular), bathroom furniture comes in a variety of shapes and sizes - this in itself adds a significant layer of complexity to spatial planning and what you can realistically achieve within the space.
- When planning the bathroom think about the positioning of the bath first - it's the biggest piece of furniture in the bathroom and, as a consequence, options for locating it may be more restricted (and in turn drive what you do elsewhere)
- Another very important consideration is the throne... always aim to position the WC so that it isn't the first thing that you see when entering the bathroom (if it is a more persuasive argument, imagine you don't have a lock on the door and conjure up an image of what you would see if you walked in at the wrong time...) and also position it as far away from the bath as possible
- One of the additional restrictions that will have an impact on the spatial planning of your bathroom and, more specifically, the position of your WC will be the draining and plumbing arrangements. In simple terms, the WC needs to be located near the soil stacks, which tend to be located on external walls (so in some homes this may drive the entire layout of the bathroom, bath included)
- Basins should ideally be positioned where there is natural light for activities such as shaving (men) and application of makeup (women, but also some men...). Don't underestimate the superior quality of natural light in a bathroom mirror when compared to artificial light - it may be cruel, but at least it's honest...
- If you have space limitations, you may have to sacrifice the double basin that you have always dreamed of (theory being one for me and one for the messy one, or the other way around...), but it will be worthwhile as it is always better to allow space for your furniture to breathe then to try to cram it all in!
- If you are lucky enough to have a large bathroom you will have much more flexibility around the design and be able to come up with a more impactful layout and emphasise some of the key features of the room more effectively (obviously harder to clean, but more impactful nevertheless) - for instance, a large freestanding bath with lots of space around it to breathe will be a real centerpiece and it will allow you to really appreciate the space and freedom while you luxuriate in the bath (unless of course someone is using the toilet at the same time).
Above all else, when designing your bathroom there are a couple of fundamental questions that you need to address;
- Is your bathroom going to be a traditional style or modern contemporary? This decision in itself will be highly influenced by the overarching style of your home and the design of your other rooms. Whatever style you choose, it should be one that you enjoy and one that complements the style of your home (it is worth bearing in mind that some people spend as much time in the bathroom as they do in their bedroom... just a thought worth bearing in mind) - it is a significant investment and refitting usually involves a great deal of inconvenience and cost!
- Another key question will be bath or shower, or both? In order to keep our 'trusted estate agents' in a happy place make sure that you keep at least one bath somewhere within your home (preferably in a bathroom). Ultimately, actually having a bath or a shower is very much a personal choice, but if you can have both in your home you definitely should! Showering is certainly more environmentally friendly - it uses less water and fewer resources to heat the water. That said, although bathing uses more water (this only being the case if you have a bath alone - maybe your bloke will join you after he is finished on the toilet), there are times when a shower just won't do - bathing is perfect after long runs (with ice if you are hard enough) or after a hard day at work and, being honest, it is also essential for small children...
- Finally, make sure there is plenty of storage in your bathroom as you will use it; we all need somewhere to store spare loo roll and other toiletries, particularly those little things that you don't want guests to see. That said, if your home is anything like mine, some forms of clutter in a bathroom are unavoidable (particularly if you don't tidy up...) - this includes; toothbrushes, makeup, beauty products, make up removal stuff and perfume (which all tend to pile up around the basin). An effective way to deal with all this clutter is to invest in built in storage around the basin (where it all inevitably ends up). Deep, easily accessible drawers will give you somewhere to put all your stuff, reduce clutter and make your bathroom feel more spacious
You should never underestimate the hidden power your bathroom has in terms of influencing the overarching look and feel of your home. Your bathroom should be a haven where you can relax and either enjoy an invigorating shower or a relaxing soak by candlelight after a hard day at work! Or, being more blunt, somewhere to have a comfortable read when you are sitting on the toilet...
Below are a few examples of bathrooms that I love…

February 21st, 2014, 10:04 PM #1Why Affiliate Managers Should Become Affiliates
Great article by Rebecca Pollard who I had a chance to meet in Vegas at the last Affiliate Summit.
Starting out as an affiliate isnt always easy so much to learn, so much to do, and not enough time or money to get it all done.If you make it easy for them when theyre just getting started, then as they grow, your program will grow right along with them. Had I not been an affiliate, I would have never truly understood the challenges that come with trying to build a site and develop affiliate relationships at the same time. Being an affiliate helps me recognize the challenges other affiliates face every day, and it helps me solve for those challenges as an affiliate manager.
I started making doorway pages for SEO back in 1999 well before Google. That taught me basic HTML. Working for a small SEO agency we developed 350 websites for clients and at any given time had a good 20 we took back with great niche traffic but the client didn't convert. So I learned how to use affiliate links to try and monetize that traffic until we could find a new client for the sites. Funny thing was it didn't work because I just swapped their product links for other affiliate product links. Failed to relate the products to the audience and they didn't convert. Found out its not easy to be an affiliate and make money.
Have great respect for those who have succeeded by learning their craft. Also for the AMs who put themselves into an affiliate mindset rather than talking down to them. Know a lot of network reps who could use a basic lesson in building and marketing a website. They don't teach that in college now do they??
One word of caution, if you are an AM do not compete with your affiliates. That is sinister and have seen cases where the AM realizes that the top affiliate is making a lot more than they. So they make a career change, go in a different direction. Ya right!

Not sure if I agree that Affiliate Managers Should Become Affiliates, I think it the other way around. You should be an affiliate first and then become a Affiliate Manager if you think you can make money at it and do not mind losing your freedom.
I personally think it wrong for for a AM to become an affiliate after he gotten insider knowledge from the affiliates he/she manages even if it not in a related area. Most affiliates work in several areas and who is to say the AM will not complete with their affiliates in another area and may or may not even know they are doing it.
Bottom line you should be an affiliate or a AM not both!MERCHANTS: Start showing your coupons directly on your site, that way your shoppers will stop leaving your site looking for them!! If not then remove your Coupon Box!!

Affiliate Managers should NEVER also be affiliates. If they start out as an affiliates , then quit to be Affiliate Managers that's a good thing. However being an Affiliate Manager and an affiliate at the same time is a big conflict on interest. Seeing how top affiliates are converting the sales and being in competition for things like the same ranking is not cool.

I also believe there are ethical AMs, but are they the majority? There's an inherent conflict of interest involved, although I agree, knowing both sides of the fence and the difficulties involved can certainly give needed insights to being a better AM.
It's already happened to me, so I'm not speaking blindly. And I remember the late Rexanne making a post here about how an AM she really trusted had screwed her over.
It's just one of those dilemmas of business...and life.Renée

I've never been an affiliate in the true sense of owning my own site, for two reasons. One, that isn't where my passion lies. I prefer to help others monetize existing traffic and be involved on the advertiser side - helping to improve their site for the sake of conversion, etc. as that is where my affiliate partners' traffic is being directed. Two, it just never felt right. I'm speaking for myself, of course. I believe there is value in understanding aspects of digital marketing but I think you can master those elements without being an affiliate as well.

I don't see how you could be a good AM without having been an affiliate first.

Disclosure: I'm a successful affiliate for Affiliate Summit. That's about it now. I've been an affiliate in unrelated niches/categories and I've tested different promotions but I will admit it was always with minimal results. But at least I exposed myself to that side of the world.
Now, if I had time, I'd love to be an affiliate for sites that sell super hero/comic related products. If anyone had a problem with that, I'd use my super powers against them...

I understand want you guys are saying! For sure. I'm both... I am an AM for one niche and I do affiliate for other niches.
After spending 8+ hours at work, sometimes the last thing I want to do is go home and do SEO or read about PPC.
I also like to have a life outside of work.
If you can find a company that has AM's that doesn't compete against their Affiliate (cough cough ) it will be a better pay check for you

I believe that my time spent as an affiliate has made me a much better AM. Until you've done it, there are some things you'll never fully understand. It makes me sad that some people have violated the trust placed in them, but please don't lump all AM's into that group. Ethics matter more to me and to the people I respect within our industry. I love affiliate marketing, and I'm not going to compromise my reputation or future over a few bucks. Besides, if you are doing your job right as an AM, you don't have time to be an affiliate!

Affiliate Manager becoming an Affiliate?
Conflict of interest and double-dipping come to mind.
I would be furious if I found out my (supposedly confidential) statistics helped someone become my competitor (added: or to further their own career as an existing affiliate).

Affiliate managers become an affiliates is a serious Conflict of Interest issue.
This topic has been brought up before over the years. I'm shocking to see this thread title and am not surprised by the responses.
There should be a fine line drawing between AMs/OPMs/Network Reps and affiliates. AMs/OPMs/Network Reps have absolute competitive advantage against affiliates. They are paid to manage the programs, not use the insider information to compete with affiliates.
Even though they are in the "different niches", it is still a conflict of interest. We all know how affiliate marketing works. All you need is to find that successes formula and apply to any niches. It is a very dangerous path to go down if Networks/OPMs/AMs believe they should become affiliates while getting paid as Network employees, OPMs and AMs.

Insider information, even when used in different niches means nothing in the real world. I know how to pitch a baseball. But that doesn't mean I'm going to throw enough strikes to get out of an inning. I don't see this as a huge problem in the industry. I think there have been some isolated incidents in the past but the article was written with the best intentions.

AMs see what products/merchants converts, which pages sell, where the sales come from...and use these information to build their affiliate sites. These are all insider information that your affiliates won't see. You might not be the one who use these information for their own good, but it is a huge problem to affiliates.

The insider information you casually refer to is "conversion rate by publisher", which means an Affiliate Manager knows which sites perform well. Better yet, an AM can see which links are converting well. We all have access to the internet, and I don't consider learning how to perform a website review is anything like learning a physical skill, ie. pitching a baseball.
It's VERY easy to deconstruct a website.
If a competitor comes to my site, you can bet I don't want to make it easy for them to figure out what converts well. To realize the AM has access to my stats and runs their own affiliate site really sticks in my craw.

Personally have no problems with affiliate managers being affiliates as long as its in a different niche. Think if our affiliate program is about consumer products (toys and trimmers), my personal site is about web services (hosting/CMS).
