Top 10 Pet Peeves and Top 10 Best Moments in Affiliate Marketing

[Linda Buquet]

2 dynamically opposing Top 10 affiliate marketing lists just came out and I thought I'd share them in the same post. The 1st is a great reminder of some important industry milestones over the past 10 years. The 2nd is a light-hearted, yet serious look at some strange and annoying things that affiliates must deal with in this business.

<strong><a href="http://blog.shareasale.com/2009/11/27/top-10-affiliate-marketing-moments-for-this-decade/">Top 10 Affiliate Marketing Moments for this Decade</a></strong>, from the Shareasale blog, is a poignant look at some of the top moments in our industry over the last 10 years. Brian Littleton takes us on a great trip down memory lane, so if you have not read it yet, be sure to check it out!

<strong><a href="http://www.lrthompson.com/random/10-annoying-things-about-the-affiliate-marketing-industry/">10 Annoying Things About The Affiliate Marketing Industry</a></strong>. Logan Thompson cracked me up on this one. He shares some of his industry pet peeves and even the funny ones are so true. I need to quote the 1st one, because it's something that I've wondered about too and it drives me nuts!

Ok, so this is at the top of my list for a reason. Seriously, go to any conference or forum and you come across these white kids from the suburbs trying to talk like they?re from Compton. I know there are a lot of people who didn?t make it to college, but come on, that doesn?t give you an excuse to talk like a G. What?s worse is when I get an instant message from a so called network owner trying to get me to join their network and I have no clue what they are talking about as it?s all in ebonics or more likely, some made up language that they think makes them sound gangsta. On a side note, if you can?t put a fully functional sentence together I will not even consider looking at your website let alone joining your network.

I think my largest pet peeve in affiliate marketing is not having internet marketing software compatible with my Mac.

Branding software in particular.
