New Affiliate Friendly Article Directory Launches August 12,2008

Are you a fan of Article marketing but have had limited success in the past? Well as an affiliate of Article Marketer I have heard in advance about a new article directory that will generate traffic, is affiliate link friendly, and earn you money for your content, AND there are no charges to submit your articles.

This is your chance to get in early (They’ve been in BETA for 3 months and have been getting great press).

“AffSphere,” brought to you by Affiliate Classroom, (part of the Article Marketer Family) is truly a different kind of article directory. In fact, there are 8 ways an author can make money by just submitting quality content.
It’s such a unique idea that I encourage you to take a few minutes to take a look. Its free to join and you can re purpose any of your existing articles to get started.

The eBay affiliate program is in the process of implementing a new pricing structure for Active Confirmed Registered User (ACRU) compensation. The new pricing scheme will reward affiliates for the amount of quality traffic they drive to eBay advertiser sites.

Initially only affiliates that join the eBay Partner Network on or after August 1st will placed in the new system.

All existing affiliates will remain in the old pricing system until November 1st, at which point all affiliates in the US program will be placed in the value based pricing system.

eBay is phasing this change for existing affiliates so they can have time to look at the data and see how the change will affect them.
