Some of our regular readers may have noticed the addition of the Bumpzee button to the InsureMe Affiliate Blog yesterday and I figure I should explain what it is and why I added it. (If you haven’t noticed it, it’s the green square at the end of each post).

As I posted last month, Bumpzee is an affiliate marketing community that is kind of a hybrid between Digg, Myspace, and MyBlogLog. In the last month the Bumpzee affiliate community has grown from one member to over 200 members. What’s really exciting is that the members of the community are a who’s-who of the affiliate marketing industry – so networking opportunities abound. But the site is not just a great place to network; it’s also a great place to catch up on the best affiliate news, tips and discussions.

Like affiliate specific version of Digg, Bumpzee aggregates affiliate marketing related blog posts and allows Bumpzee community members to vote for their favorite stories by “bumping” them. If a story is bumped enough it has a chance to end up on the front page of the Bumpzee site, and in turn, the bumped blog post will get more exposure in the Bumpzee community.

Since I’m not too proud to ask for help (especially when it comes to getting more eyeballs on our blog), here’s what I’m going to ask you to do today. If you are an active InsureMe Affiliate Blog reader, and you would like to help support this blog beyond leaving comments (which are more appreciated than you can imagine), please take a minute and join the Bumpzee community by going here. (Of course, joining is free and should stay that for the foreseeable future).
