Go to http://www.ase07.com for the Affiliate Summit 2007 East videos. The site will center on each of us creating videos reviews of products and services we use and like.

If you're interested providing your product or service for review, contact us to let us know what you've got and which one of us you'd like to review it. Stay tuned for more details. Topics discussed included affiliate approval guidelines, recruiting affiliates via blogs, and beating ad blockers. We also discussed the explosion of Facebook applications in affiliate marketing, creeps squatting on domains, investigations by the Attorney General of Florida, toilet paper by subscription from Amazon, mobile marketing growth, and the new issue of Revenue magazine.

Last week, on the Affiliate Thing show, super affiliate Connie Berg talked about plans to get a Facebook app going. And I've come across some other affiliates that are already running affiliate Facebook apps, including CheapCheapCheap.org Deals and Shopaneer. Last, but not least, there is a new Facebook app from Affiliate Summit. But it comes at things from a different, more benevolent angle. The purpose is to bring awareness to the scourge of badware. Get your Affiliate Summit Badware Protection at http://www.badware.com. The following affiliate marketing related companies are being investigated: Intermark Media Inc. Media Breakaway, LLC Think Partnership Inc. Traffix, Inc. W3i, LLC Please note - the existence of an investigation does not constitute proof of any violation of law. As always, I'd love to hear from you! Drop me a line and let me know if you have any suggestions or questions. Take care,
