1. Ze Frank Named Keynote Speaker for Affiliate Summit

Ze Frank (pronounced "Zay"), the keynote speaker for Affiliate Summit 2007 East, provides a truly entertaining and yet insightful look at how technology and creativity intersect, especially in web design, marketing and new forms of media.

Ze has unique experience doing new media design and marketing for important customers, helping them understand viral marketing and the contagious media in which it takes place, and to think about creative development in general.

He spent two months in 2004 as Artist in Residence at MSN, helping them develop strategies for creating online community spaces-his specialty.

2. Clickable Video as Affiliate Creative

I came across some interesting video creative recently as part of Ken Evoy's Video Build It!. Ken's affiliate program enables affiliates to feature his clickable videos, and that got me very curious about the potential to use clickable video in other affiliate programs.

Ken shared that we was using a service called Web Video Zone. I took a look at their site and it's quite a dynamic solution for affiliates and affiliate managers.

Web Video Zone is rich in features and functionality, but the part that gets me excited is the Video Affiliate System.

Affiliate managers simply need to come up with video creative for their affiliates and the WVZ (Web Video Zone) Video Affiliate System does the rest.

5. Cynical Manipulation of AGLOCO Sheep

I have been getting a steady stream of spam e-mails from people promoting the AGLOCO multi-level (not affiliate!) marketing program, and it's getting worse.

Not only is the spam from these AGLOCOians incredibly annoying, but it's based on a big BS story perpetuated by AGLOCO themselves.
