Welcome to November!  I can hardly believe we’re in November already… it seems like it was September just yesterday!  Do me a favor and remember that there’s Thanksgiving to think about before Christmas and stall on decking everything out in red and green for a month, will ya?

• Recently I wrote an article for the New Edge Media blog, Top 14 Tips for Affiliate Success.  Check it out and be sure to follow New Edge Media on Twitter!
• Scott Jangro wrote a good post on Affiliate Marketing Network Blog Scorecards.  The comments are interesting as well, so be sure to read the whole thing.
• Affiliate Summit now has a Fan Page on Facebook.  Join up for updates.
• 37Signals now offers an affiliate program for their super awesome products, one of which is Basecamp, a great project management system that we proudly use at New Edge Media.  Sign up for their affiliate program at http://affiliate.37signals.com.
• There’s a great informative post on the PrintPlace.com Blog on Why and How to Advertise in a Tough Economy.  Good stuff that should help a lot of small businesses.
• An interesting note about branding and your personal brand, Jim Kukral is going to re-brand himself next week.  I’m very interested to see what he does and how this is executed, so stay tuned.

Affiliate network Commission Junction is celebrating it’s 10th anniversary today.  They are one of the top affiliate networks with thousands of affiliates and hundreds of advertisers, including one of New Edge Media’s client’s PrintPlace.com. From their announcement today:

“The dedication of all our teams to putting our clients first contributes to our longevity,” said Kerri Pollard, General Manager of Commission Junction. “Many Internet-based companies that were founded in the dotcom heyday of the last decade are no longer around. The fact that we are still successful after 10 years is a testament to the fantastic partnerships we have with our clients.”

I’ve personally been working with Commission Junction since the end of 2007 and I’ve had very few problems with them, mostly related to internal IT issues on the advertiser end and their reporting.  I do wish the reporting was better, but otherwise it’s a great network to get exposure on with a wide range of advertisers for an affiliate to choose from.

At long last, the website for New Edge Media is live and operational (almost)!  Go check it out immediately: New Edge Media!  I started with NEM almost a month ago and it’s been great so far.  We’re doing a lot of awesome things, and there hasn’t been any shortage of work for me.  Right now most of my efforts have been directed towards the PrintPlace.com affiliate program, getting everything running off the ground.

We offer a lot of great services at New Edge, including Affiliate Marketing, Email Marketing, Search Engine Optimization, and Paid Search Marketing.

The blog link isn’t operational yet since our company blog isn’t quite ready for unveiling to the public just yet.  We are excited to chonicle our journey as a new company in this crazy space.  It’ll feature blog posts by our CEO, Brandy Eddings, as well as by our entire senior staff.

Another great development ready to unveil today is that we now have a PrintPlace.com Sub-Forum on the AffSpot.com Affiliate Marketing Forums.  I hope for this to be an active place for affiliates to talk to each other, collaborate, ask questions, and have fun.  I really hope that it’ll explode into a really great area for discourse amongst affiliates and give everyone the opportunity to get exactly what they want out of the program.

I’m so excited!  Please, we’re always open for feedback so if you have any, leave me a comment!
