Hi Jeremiah, thanks for adding affiliate marketing, we appreciate it. I hope the email I sent about your request for a definition was helpful. In attempting to answer your 3 questions I ended up writing a book (sorry). I’ll probably end up turning that into a post about all this, since it contained some important info and stats.

Thanks again!
Linda

Hope you realize that my concern was not just your list. Affiliate marketing is often overlooked by the traditional marketing community. The branding thing is touchy because many merchants DO use affiliates for branding which is really unfair, because affiliates don’t make a dime for showing off a brand. They need conversions, sales and then merchants that will actually pay them for their efforts.

Off to check my email. Looking forward to working with you to better define affiliate marketing for your list and your readers.

Thanks again for stopping by. It’s very much appreciated!

Linda, I sent you an email asking you for your definition, let’s collaborate. Let’s improve this, and then you can update this post showing it’s added.

It was left off the list only be oversight, not intentionally.

Yep some companies do MILLIONS a month in affiliate marketing, so pretty odd it was totally skipped. I won’t slap them though, I’ll be nice!

I can’t believe how big an area can be (Affiliate Marketing) and yet be left out of such a supposed “all inclusive” document. Maybe they consider Affiliate Marketing to be the same as Internet Marketing (although, then why mention it under Branding?) – who knows! I can’t wait to go over and read your “slap” of them
