    I just listened to the podcast and I was thinking, couldn't New York Affiliates avoid the “Affiliate Tax” issue all together by incorporating in another state? It's a crummy deal if it goes through and seems like another attempt to tax the Internet.

    I think the address on file with the affiliate program is the address that matters – wherever they get the check sent.

    Hey Shawn,

    I was wondering how can you get a WordPress blog reindexed if it is been delisted by Google for whatever reason?

    Perhaps you can be of assistance..:-)

    Sorry, no clue. I haven't had any sites delisted, so I haven't had to go through the process.

    Hi Kevin -

    What are you saying is incorrect?

    Hmm. Meant to line that up under the residency/incorporation question.

    Per Mark Klein at Hodgson Russ, incorporating elsewhere as a New Yorker will NOT get you out of the presumption of nexus. If you have any property here, you ARE a resident, even if you spend zero days a year in NY.

    I.e., Kevin (me) incorporates his affiliate business in Delaware, but continues to maintain a residence in sunny Rochester, NY: I'm still a NY affiliate.

    Affiliate Summit Inc incorporates in NJ, but has property that you may or may not work from in NY: You'd be a NY affiliate.

    Thanks – no property for me in the Empire State. So I won't be booted from affiliate programs just yet.

    Oh, sure. Was but an example of a “business” as opposed to an “individual”.

    I don't think Summit's in my budget (financially or time wise) for Boston, but I look forward to catching up with you in '09.
