When First Click or Last Click Matters in Affiliate Marketing (Pt. 2 of 2)
Most of the time, who gets credit for an affiliate sale (first click or last click) doesn't matter. But there is one exception to that rule that I share today. In yesterday's episode I said that usually it doesn't matter if first click or last click gets credit for an affiliate sale. Today, I share the caveat I mentioned.

Is Affiliate Saturation a Real Problem?
What should you do about affiliate saturation? Is it really a problem? Here's my take. Jim Woods recently asked in a blog comment: I'm on several lists that will be promoting Tribewriters at the same time, so I'll get a ton of emails about that. This leads to fatigue and unsubscribing or ignoring emails (even after the affiliate campaign). I'm sure many others are in the same place. (Maybe not the majority, but I've heard others talk about this as well.) Here's my response to Jim and to this perceived problem in the industry.
