2. Affiliate Tip: Claim Your Name on MySpace
So you missed the big land grab of the 90's when all of the good .com address were snapped up? Don't fret - there's a new frontier, and you (may) still have time to get some great names.
 The place to claim your name, your brand, your site, etc. is MySpace. The way your name is represented on MySpace is like so: www.myspace.com/yourname
Why MySpace? Well, that's where the masses are going. According to Alexa, MySpace is one of the top sites, right behind Google, MSN and Yahoo.
If you check the list at WordTracker for the most frequently searched keywords in the search engines, you'll see multiple iterations of MySpace in the top 20 searches.

3. High Performance Affiliate Marketing - Book Report for Affiliate Marketers
When I got the latest issue of Revenue magazine, the first thing I noticed was a two-page ad on pages 2-3 with the headline, "Become a Super Affiliate."
 The ad was for a new e-book by Jeremy Palmer, founder of QuitYourDayJob.com, called High Performance Affiliate Marketing.
I met Jeremy at CJU in September 2005, and I know he's the real deal. In addition to being a Certified Commission Junction Performer, he also claims to have made over $1,000,000 in commissions last year. At CJU 2005, he won the Horizon Award for Innovation.
So I was anxious to read what he had to say. And I've got to say I was not disappointed.
