I was checking out community members who’d visited my blog over at MyBlogLog and checked out fellow Singapore Leonard Chen’s blog, especially his entry: Here comes the Affiliate Blog list.
It looks like Scott Jango might be on to starting something viral with his post: Have You Got An Affiliate Marketing Blog?
As you’re expect, the big guns of Affiliate Marketing: Ros Gardner, Shoemoney, Linda Buquet, Shawn Collins, Kris Jones, are already on the list, though I’d expect it’s just a matter of time before the likes of Ewen Chia, PlanetAndrea and Jon F appear too.

You’ve heard the axiom that it takes 7 exposures to establish trust and credibility before your prospect makes a buying decision.

- If you’re an affiliate marketer, the optimal keywords will help you target your paid ad to a searcher’s preferences.

- If you’re a product creator, you might like to create niche websites based around high value keywords.

This news kind of blew me away when I read it.
Fresh in my inbox, advertising marketplace PayPerPost announced it has “signed a Letter of Intent to acquire select assets of Performancing LLC, operator of Performancing.com”
