Affiliate activation and retention are issues most Affiliate Managers struggle with, but there are not many good resources on the subject out there. Carsten Cumbrowski posted at the 5 Star Forum yesterday to let us know about 2 in-depth blogs he wrote over at Revenews. He speaks openly about the activation of inactive affiliates, the retention of existing affiliates and offers some actionable tips.

In this post Affiliate Retention, Activation and Recruitment - Do’s and Don’ts Carsten cites lots of good resources including these 2 articles that I wrote:
