He went on to elaborate on his question with a scenario for a typical affiliate marketer. He poses the question from an affiliate described as the following:
He’s a forklift driver worked eight to ten hours a day
In a little bit of debt
Has limited time on the weekends and evenings
Lots of passion to make an affiliate marketing business work
He also has a general understanding of Web site, as he has put up a couple sites, but hasn’t been able to figure out how to convert visitors to buyers through affiliate links.

3. A Kinder, Gentler Affiliate Marketing Industry
Affiliate Thing podcast #12 is now available to stream or download. The latest show featured an interview with Jim Kukral, Publisher of ReveNews.
We chatted about Jim’s new project, Affiliate Marketing Friends, and the overall boom of creativity and friendliness that has perpetuated in the affiliate industry over the last few months.
We tried to come up with an explanation for the recent Kumbaya in affiliate marketing. Is this all due to more interaction at conferences, tools of Web 2.0, marginalization of the Chicken Little pundits, all of the above, or something else?
Whatever the reason, it’s good to see the collective industry turning on, tuning in, and dropping the attitudes for the collective good.

5. Affiliate Summit Pinnacle Awards Show
Here is video from the affiliate marketing industry awards show at the Tryst nightclub in the Wynn Las Vegas.
The Affiliate Summit Pinnacle Awards show took place on Monday, January 22, 2007.
I am a new affiliate and I want to add content to my blog. Are there any places to get free content?
One option you’ve got is to go to a site called EzineArticles.com. They’ve got a variety of articles on all sorts of different subjects.
You can reprint those articles provided that you adhere to their terms of service.
Also, you can syndicate people’s RSS feeds. When somebody has a blog, they typically make an RSS feed available that enables anybody to republish their content in whole or in part.
I would suggest taking a look at two sites to see what’s available for different subjects: Technorati and the Google Blog Search.
After you come up with some blogs you’d like to syndicate, there is a tool called CaRP that is a converter of RSS to HTML. This enables you to get the SEO benefits of having the actual content on your site and in your code.
