AffiliateBob on: Affiliate Marketing

Affiliate Marketing. What a great gig. If you’re a successful Advertiser, you are managing one of the highest ROI marketing channels in existence today. If you’re a successful Affiliate, your neighbors have watched you trade-up cars from Pinto to Porsche faster than Anna Nicole Smith after the legal settlement.

I created this site because I have managed or advised some of the largest online affiliate marketing programs in existence (no b.s.) and I wanted to share some of the secrets of my trade. Since Affiliate Marketing has emerged from being a cottage industry (I think it happened all at once at 1:05am, Sunday May 5, 2005 if anyone is paying attention), there is certainly no shortage of incredulously bad advice.

You can see some of my advice still at work in the affiliate programs at www.HomeDepot.com, www.Staples.com, www.Lids.com, www.CircuitCity.com, www.SonyStyle.com, www.Alienware.com, and most recently at EverestPoker.com (or .net in the states —long story).

I hope you enjoy the free information and story-telling on this site. What is a successful affiliate program without stories anyway?
