Yahoo! announces Affiliate Advisory Board

Yahoo! announces Affiliate Advisory Board

I’m very pleased to be able to be the first to announce that Yahoo! has established an Affiliate Advisory Board and has invited me to sit on this newly formed Board that will deal with issues related to affiliate marketing for Yahoo!, across the company. The Affiliate Advisory will be meeting in May, as per the invitation:

“The two days will consist of meeting the CJ/Yahoo! Affiliate Team plus top Y! Executives, product discussions from each property included in the Y! Affiliate Program, Panama roundtable session, Yahoo! Developer Network presentation and the future of the Yahoo! Affiliate Program.”

This is a hugely positive move by Yahoo! and kudos to them for driving affiliate marketing into the mainstream online marketing channel. This cements affiliate marketing as one of the key online marketing channels, and for a group the size of Yahoo! to embrace affiliate marketers so closely, it really does show both momentum in this space, as well as recognition of the value that affiliate marketers can offer to both large and small enterprises.

    Very nice. I spent years telling our Yahoo reps that if Yahoo really wanted to make more money with their PPC, they were going to have to embrace affiliates. It sounds like I wasn’t the only one making noise about this, and Yahoo is finally listening.

    Great news for you and the affiliate world as a whole. :)
