I can’t close out February and begin March without saying a few thank you’s to people that have kept this blog going with their financial support and encouragement.

SPONSORS! (In Kevin Rose voice)…

A huge thank you to Shawn Collins, Missy Ward and the Affiliate Summit team for sponsoring CPN.  If you haven’t been to an Affiliate Summit, and you are anywhere near interested in online marketing, affiliate marketing or the web… you need to go.  Click here to let them know I sent you.  And if you are a seasoned veteran of the Summit and haven’t gotten your company’s passes yet… why not get it taken care of now?  Click here and let Shawn and Missy know that you decided to book after hearing about it here.

I’d also like to welcome aboard the GalleryPlayer HDTV Affiliate Program, managed by the fine folks at Forge Corporation.  The program itself is quite interesting and the payout is the highest I’ve seen in this category.  To celebrate the launch of the GalleryPlayer affiliate program, they are also giving away a 42” Panasonic HDTV to an active affiliate.  We could all use more HDTV with the NASCAR season underway.  So, go click that banner and see if it’s a good fit for your site, blog, network or program.
