Since I got a terrible bug for Christmas and am not feeling much like blogging, today I'm just going to link to TWO REALLY HOT NEW WEB 2.0 TRICKS for affiliate marketers.
I've been talking to the people at <a target="_new" href="http://www.bubbleply.com/">BubblePLY.com</a> and looked at their technology and the potential for affiliates to use it for marketing. In short, BubblePLY lets you layer text and links on top of video so affiliates could personalize and add marketing links to existing videos. Planned to blog about it this week, but Shawn already did, so I'll just link to his well done overview. <strong><a target="_new" href="http://www.affiliatetip.com/blog/archives/affiliate_popup_video.html">Affiliate Pop-Up Video</a></strong>
THIS ONE'S HOT! I looked at 43 Things as a marketing tool a long time ago, but had not been there lately. NOTE: They don't prohibit affiliate links per se YET - so don't abuse it, but some well targeted links back to articles on your site that contain affiliate links may be a great strategy to get PR back links to your site AND some possible sales.
