Reading blogs is probably the best way to find out what’s going on in the affiliate marketing industry. Here’s what’s in my reader (in semi-alphabetical order):

• Affiliate, SEO and PHP Coding Blog - OOOFF.com - Provides actual code and helpful tips. Giving some inspiration to a tracking script I’m currently writing.
• My Internet Journey - I like reading about people learning the process
• 5 Star Affiliate Marketing Blogs - Great for industry info. Quality writing & regular updates.
• Affiliate Marketing Blog - Well, I work with Paul, so I’d better read his blog! Look closely and you’ll find some secrets that he let out of the bag.
• Affiliate Program Advice - I met Jess in Miami last summer, so this is how I keep up with her.
• Affiliate Summit Blog - GOING TO BOSTON THIS SUMMER! Looking forward to this one.
• Blue Hat SEO-Advanced SEO Tactics - It’s not white hat, not black hat, but blue hat.
• CDF Networks - Real-world examples with actual data.
• CPA AFFILIATES - Just generally a good blog to read.
• CPA Share - Harrison’s making too much money & doesn’t have time to keep his blog up. Too bad
• Fraser’s Affiliate Marketing Blog - I work with Fraser on a few projects, and his podcasts are great!
• Google Hot Trends - If you can monetize what’s hot, get the topics delivered right to you
• Jonathan Volk - Another one that’s an overall good read. Keep on eye on this guy - he’s growing fast!
• PPC Super Affiliate Blog - Good info on Google’s quality score hooked me
• RevenueAddict.com - Shane has some good insight into what’s going on. Being from the UK, who I believe are at least a year ahead of the US market, you can get an idea of what’s up & coming.
• Royal Radande - Mentioned on UberAffiliate, has some good (real-life) examples. Just subscribed & looking forward to reading more from him.
• Share Results Blog - A network I met while in Miami
• Skills to pay the bills - Gotta read Shoemoney, or else you’ll have no idea what everyone else is talking about.
• UberAffiliate - Paul went from zero to hero in about a year - and he lives practically around the corner from me! Although highly successful, he took some time out to get some Tim Hortons w/ me one day.
• Winning the Web - It’s all about the contest now… but then what?

These are just my affiliate marketing blogs. I also read some fitness and finance blogs.

What am I missing? What other blogs should I be reading? And I’m not interesting in reading about how wonderful the Amex black card is or what John has for lunch, so don’t suggest them.

And yes, I know my blog is completely unfocused. It’s an outlet for me to write, brag and complain, and a means for my mom to know what’s going on in our house. Hopefully there will be more useful stuff as the year goes on.
