Yesterday marked the 82nd anniversary of the Invention that all other inventions are measured against.  And while it wasn’t Performance Affiliate Marketing it does relate to the current state of our industry.  Every single day I receive an Email, a Tweet, a FB Friend request from another new network, a revolutionary traffic system, datafeed aggregator, [...]

Are you using “Human Herding” techniques in your Affiliate Marketing efforts?  What’s that?  A simple concept really.  And more than likely your using Human Herding without realizing it.  But it’s a powerful way to generate sales, clicks, and there’s nothing wrong with the concept.
