2009 has been an exciting year for our industry. We’ve seen tremendous growth in almost every aspect of affiliate marketing and no signs of it slowing down any time soon. With the increase of businesses entering the performance marketing space, the continued growth of high quality affiliates, and the innovative technologies that continue to be developed, 2010 is sure to be another year of BIG opportunities for everyone involved.
That being said, one thing that also impressed me about 2009 was the amount of valuable content that was produced from a wide variety of industry professionals, on a vast amount of topics. Affiliates at every level shared tips and tricks they’ve learned from past and current experiences, detailed case studies they put together, as well as how to/tutorial articles aimed at helping both newbies and veterans alike, continue to increase their success and influence throughout 2009 and beyond.
There was SO much great content around the web, that I thought it would fun and beneficial to share some of them here on our blog.
So in no particular order, here are some of the best posts in the affiliate marketing space from 2009.
