Allan Gardyne 2000 I don't advertise this AllanGardyne.com web site. It was created just for curious people like you.


Who is Allan Gardyne?

Have you heard of that apparently mythical guy who lives by the beach and makes a living from affiliate programs? That's me. The story is true.

I'm a former journalist. I live with my wife, Joanna, at Rainbow Bay, in sub-tropical Queensland, Australia.

If you read articles saying we live at Tuan, a tiny fishing village so small it doesn't have a shop ... well, that used to be true. Then we bought an apartment overlooking Golden Beach, and more recently one at Rainbow Bay.

(We usually spend summers in New Zealand and winters in Queensland, Australia.)


What does Allan Gardyne do?

Joanna and I run AssociatePrograms.com, a comprehensive directory of affiliate or associate programs. It was launched in January, 1998.

I set up a hobby/business on the Internet in 1996 because I wanted to be my own boss. Since then I've made a lot of mistakes and gone up a few dead-end alleys – failing forward, as the optimists say – and eventually quit my day job in 1998.

We've turned a hobby into a thriving business which now has three full-time employees and a fluctuating number of part-time employees.

I don't just write about affiliate programs. I work at this stuff. Nearly all of our revenue comes from affiliate commissions.

You don't have to make the mistakes I did. Life's too short for that.

What else does Allan Gardyne do?

I founded PayPerClickSearchEngines.com, the first directory of pay-per-click search engines. If you're looking for highly targeted, cost-effective advertising occasionally as cheap as one cent per click, that's the site to go to for information.

Another of my sites is LifetimeCommissions.com, the first directory of affiliate programs that pay lifetime commissions or residual commissions. I like being first to do something.

KeywordWorkshop.com, run by my business partner Jay Stockwell, is another one. It's the most comprehensive site on the Internet for reviews of keyword research tools, which are essential for anyone who has a business on the Internet.

I teamed up with Jay in 2005 and Jay set up an office Burleigh Heads, Queensland, Australia. Our first major project was SpeedPPC.com, a system which enables you to do PPC marketing incredibly faster and more efficiently. Check out the enthusiastic testimonials.

We also own a number of other affiliate-driven sites on a variety of topics. They derive their income from affiliate commissions and Google AdSense.

It's a nice way of living. You can live and work from wherever you like, being your own boss.
