Dear Santa, Thanks for Affiliates

December 25, 2005 by Shawn Collins

Dear Santa –

I just wanted to thank you for giving new affiliates each year. I know some of my fellow affiliate managers don’t respect and appreciate affiliates – some even regarding them as a necessary evil. But I know the truth – they are the cogs in the affiliate marketing machine.

Without all of those content sites, SEO wizards, bloggers, PPC arbitragists, data feed specialists, legitimate e-mailers, etc., there would be nothing to this business. So you’ve done well again this year in delivering more affiliates.

Also, nice job putting coal in the stockings of the thin affiliates, spammers, cookie stuffers, fraudulent clickers, illegal software installers, affiliate link redirectors, and the like.

We don’t want Scut Farkus and his gang in this business. Good riddance.

Until next year,
Shawn Collins

P.S.
Thanks for the official Red Ryder, carbine action, two-hundred shot range model air rifle.
