Carsten Cumbrowski over at ReveNews has a VERY long in-depth post to try to start an affiliate marketing Association. Here's a snippet
The New Affiliate Marketing Organization Initiative
"Affiliate Marketing needs representation again in form of a non profit organization. IMA, AMA and IAB does not help us, they are too broad.
Search Marketing has SEMPO and SMA-NA. Affiliate Marketing used to have iAfma. I know that I am not alone with this Idea nor the one who had it. People are thinking about it for several years now, but nothing was done.
Affiliate Marketing outgrew its humble beginning are became more professional, but has not what any other professional Industry has, at least one neutral focal point to learn more about the industry and explain what it is and what it is not. Benefits and Issues."
