Affiliate Future (www.affiliatefuture.co.uk) find itself in a pickle this week with it’s website getting jacked.

What I mean by jacked, is that when you click on their URL you go to their website and then, are immediately whisked away to the jacked’s website.

This type of behavior on the part of the jackers is totally unacceptable. Our hearts go out to Affiliate Future. Hang in there guys!

You can read more discussion on the Affiliates 4U forum.

We didn’t link directly to Affiliate Future for you because we didn’t want to give the jackers any PR.

              

Do you enjoy hanging out in affiliate forums and chatting? Maybe you’re a fit for the Net Profit Today forum moderator helper/position … and the perk is Ros will give you a link!

I can no longer keep up with all the spam on the NPT Forum and as noted in this post, the forum needs a moderator… or three. Are you up for the job? The pay sucks (nothing), but you will have my undying gratitude and a link to your site (as long as you remain a moderator) from a post on the NPT blog. If you have time to invest and are interested, please leave a comment. Thanks!

To apply, just post a comment on Ros’s blog: NPT Forum Moderators Wanted

Amazon sent out a new announcement to their affiliates today, baiting the affiliates with a sneak peakat the future of aStores and thanking everyone who participated in the beta testing.

Of course, the number one question/complaint from affiliate guilders was … why can’t I build more than one store?

According to Amazon, the next release of aStore is schedule for late November. Yikes! That’s a little tight for the Christmas buying season for affiliates to get their stores in place and promoted.

The next release of aStore will allow Associates to:

• Build and maintain multiple aStores using a single Associate ID
• Specify products to feature on Category and Sub-Category pages
• Create multiple instances of individual categories and sub-categories (e.g. Beatles Music and Rolling Stones Music)
• Feature up to 54 products on the front page of your store rather than the current limit of nine
• Write longer custom product descriptions
• Better control the layout and design for use in frames by providing the capability to remove the store header and category navigation

This looks promising for Amazon affiliates. One issue they probably won’t change is the use of iframes. As many of you know, iframes impedes the search engines from crawling the store as content on your website.

 Non-the-less, this looks very cool and will be a nice addition to affiliate/associate marketing for affiliates who don’t program.
