First off, my apologies for the lack of post yesterday. The entire Affiliate Blog squad was out of the office (and in a snow storm) helping build a house for Habitat for Humanity. Habitat is a great organization and we had a wonderful time - I highly recommend it if you want to do a little (non-court ordered) community service.

In lieu of a personal rant, or any original content for that matter, I though I would point you to three other affiliate blog posts that rule the school:

1) ReveNews’ Carstem Cumbrowski posts a roundup of some of the more helpful affiliate resources out there. It’s well worth a read, and maybe a bookmark. Check it our here.

2) Search Engine Journal’s Rhea Drysdale helps us networking-challenged types learn how to build a bigger search marketing network with her post, 11 Networking Tips for Search Marketers.

3) Shoemoney is taking a little poll over at his blog that asks if affiliates trust their affiliate companies. Make sure you drop by and vote - and also peruse the comments to see what other affiliates are thinking (Hint: it isn’t looking so good for the affiliate companies).

Enjoy the posts - have a great Thursday!
