Pick the Best Affiliate Marketing Blogs of 2013

by Missy Ward

We asked for nominations of the best affiliate marketing blogs last month, and we got a nice list of nominees.

Now it’s time to vote on the nominees to come up with a list of the best affiliate marketing blogs.

Voting is open to the public to pick the best affiliate marketing blogs of 2013.

Sorry if a blog you write or like was not included. Nominations were open from October 6, 2013 through October 31, 2013.

Go to twtpoll.com/bestaffblogs2013 to vote for one or more affiliate marketing blogs. They are in random order each time, so nobody gets an advantage by the alphabet or any other method of ordering them.

In order to combat stuffing the ballot box, we’re requiring voting via Twitter accounts.

Votes are open through November 30, 2013.

We’re gearing up for Affiliate Summit West 2014 on January 12-14, 2014 at Paris Las Vegas over here, and one of the priorities is to be sure any first timers are able to make the most of the conference.

The Affiliate Summit West 2014 Newcomer Program is being headed up by Heather Diamani.

Deadline to submit to participate in the Affiliate Summit Newcomer Program is January 3, 2014.
