UK affiliate forum social network Today Affiliates4U, the leading UK Affiliate Forum was transformed into a new affiliate marketing social network. You can launch your own social network, read blogs from industry experts or go to the new affiliate or merchant universities. And of course there is Digg style voting so you can review, ‘back’ or ’slap’ member and expert blogs. The forum is still intact so you can still communicate that way. In fact they have added several new forums including Affiliate marketing 2.0, social media, viral marketing, web analytics and usability. Here is an overview of all the new features from Founder Matthew Woods.

“With the new site you have the opportunity to create social networks by starting communities which you can manage. Members can also sign up for, create and invite people to events across the world, etch on other members whiteboards, provide testimonials and give other users an insight into their thoughts and affiliate marketing lives with the ‘thought bubble’.

In addition we now have a growing number of expert bloggers covering topics such as paid search, SEO, eCommerce and viral marketing. The new ‘affiliate’ and ‘merchant’ universities provide a specialist area where new affiliates and merchants can learn about the many aspects of affiliate marketing.

In true social media style, the community can review, back’ or ’slap’ member and expert blogs, encouraging educational and innovative contributions to this exciting industry – the most backed contributions feature on our main homepage and industry round-up newsletter each week.”

Congrats to Matthew and crew – great job! I’m certain tons of work went into this transformation.
I’ve always loved your forum but will try to make time to get there more often now.
