Affiliate Marketing App Market

We quietly rolled out Affiliate marketing's first app marketplace yesterday (think platform), and this is the first blog post about it (although we did a #sneakpeak tweet yesterday). Hopefully there will be many more to come. It's AvantLink Affiliate network integrated, and there are no fees to submit or use the ad technology.

AvantLink has introduced the AvantLink App Market to encourage innovators to build capabilities within our architecture that will enhance business relationships, provide new technical tools for Affiliate marketers, and in general, continue to add functionality to our platform.

Yessir. Game on. Learn more HERE or HERE...or watch the Prezi below.

Oh, and not bad launch timing in light of the Google Rant going around. ;)

Affiliate Technology News Syndication

A clear example of how social media works as a marketing and business tool..

We recently hit our distribution channels hard with mentions of AvantLink Mobile, a new Android phone application for Affiliates and merchants. This Android app allows people to check their Affiliate program stats, and do some other cool things from their smart phones. As you might have guessed, the impact my social media contacts had on further distributing this news was significant.

I spent about an hour in the morning posting the smart phone app news to various channels we have at our disposal like ABestWeb, @AvantLink on Twitter and our network Affiliate marketing blog (not to mention a custom RT @GaryMarcoccia and @GeekArm, etc., which automates to my Facebook status update). By noon quite a few people had re-tweeted the news, and there were even Affiliate bloggers writing it up!

BTW there is an iPhone app available as well, in case you're wondering.

Although I have been dabbling over the last few years, it's been tough to really sink my teeth in fully to social media channels...what with building our Affiliate network from the ground up and all. But now that I'm getting more time to really test and measure the effectiveness of Twitter and Facebook (among others), I'm a believer all the way.

The value of industry peers and contacts advancing your news far exceeds the exposure you get on any one web site...like you didn't already know that ;)
