this is one if the issues i wrestle with most. i agree with the rationale about why aff marketing will rise and utilize it myself, though tracking is a major, major issue. and the tools need to become easier to use as you noted.

either way i think we will start to see aff marketers/resellers offer value-added services, most likely in support or education, to help add reseller value. this naturally ties into the social media revolution as well.

"Affiliate marketing is a black art that needs to be repackaged."

Exactly. Affiliate marketing has been misused by blackhat SEO's, spammers, and unethical webmasters. But there is really nothing wrong with recommending a product, if the recommendation is genuine. It's a fine line, but for publishers able to build trust and not abuse it, affiliate marketing is amazing. Even better if you have your own products and services to sell.

I agree. This is great news for advertisers but it will drive revenue down for publishers and will lead them to explore alternative revenue sources.

I think there will be a huge rise in affiliate marketing revenue, but only if the tools become easier for publishers to use. Right now affiliate marketing is a black art that needs to be repackaged.

Actually Avid didn't emerge from Ashley Madison....Avid acquired Ashley Madison this past summer. Avid purchased my startup, Fivelimes, in September 07.

And just a brief personal update :) I just recently left my role at Kaboose to jump back into the startup world.
