Excellent Affiliate Marketing Blogs

I’m having a bit of a Deja Vu moment here. It was this same exercise I went through almost three years to the day…collecting an updated list of excellent affiliate marketing blogs to read and keep up on.

The last time I did this, the result was BumpZee.com, remember that? While I’m not going to let that small distraction happen again, I am looking to update my affiliate blog reading list which has grown rather stale.

What makes a great affiliate marketing blog? Like any blog, I prefer one with a personality. And one that doesn’t seem to be pushing the latest mo-traffic, mo-money ebooks on me.

I want real, authentic content.

I’m looking for pointers to the best of the best. Share your favorites in the comments.

  • Hey Scott
    You've got some very well-read readers! I'm going to link to this post from The Adsmarket Blog (http://www.blog.adsmarket.com) to spread the word.
    Hopefully we can add to the list!

    Hey Scott - I follow AffBuzz.com pretty regularly. It's an aggregator of a lot of different affiliate blogs. I'd start my search there for some new sites.

    P.S. Ironic, I just happened to notice this post in my RSS feed and thought I'd throw in my two cents worth. :-)
  • I think Scott over at the AffSpot Blog (http://blog.affspot.com) is doing a great job. I've added this one to my other favorites (yours included).
  • OK, there's one I haven't heard of! I knew about the forum, but not about the blog. cool.
  • Sharon M.
    Although there are a ton of great affiliate blogs, my 'don't-miss-this' list includes Geno Prussakov's AMNavigator blog at http://www.amnavigator.com/blog/ and Shawn Collin's Affiliate Tip http://blog.affiliatetip.com/

    I'm sure I'll think of more but those two were the first ones that came to mind.
  • Sharon, I highly appreciate the mention.

    To echo Scott's thought, I also believe that a good blog has got to have a character, and genuineness of the author's thinking behind it. It doesn't matter if you elaborate on something someone else said (or did). What matters is whether there is a thought of your own behind your writing -- a thought that helps others think in a new way, improve what they are doing, or learn a lesson. At the end of the day, Social Media is all about giving and sharing.
  • Thank you Sharon, yes, those are excellent ones.
  • Hi Scott, well I going to do a shameful plug for my own 1st off http://www.affiliatemarketingblog.co.uk/ oh the shame, ok now I feel guilty so I will have to post a collection of the rocking UK Affiliate Blogs and you USA guys can learn a lot from us as we do from you guys :-)

    That's just a small handful of the great Affiliate Blogs that won't push you rubbish in the UK, and there is others so sorry to them folks for not listing you, I know I suck for that :-)

    Best Wishes,

  • Thanks Clarke, I you know I love all the UK bloggers. Thanks for the list!
  • Hey Scott .. I like a podcast called Marketing Over Coffee which covers a broad spectrum of online marketing. Within their recent newsletter they offered an OPML file with all of the blogs they follow. It gave me a few new things to add to my feed reader. Not necessarily all affiliate marketing, but still worth looking into.

    Looking forward to the bestselling online marketing textbook that gets developed here ... seriously.

  • That's Christopher Penn, right? Local guy. I listened to them for a while. Good stuff.

    And I did see your tweet mention of an AffBook podcast. Maybe... but not jumping into anything during October!
  • That's right ... Chris Penn and John Wall. Want the OPML file? I hear what you say about October! Too many ballgames to fit in ....
