The February 2008 issue of Affiliate Classroom Magazine is now available and the focus this month is on the merchant-affiliate relationship. This issue will give you a good perspective on whether your affiliate program has what it takes to attract the top producers.

The cover story is by an affiliate who explains what affiliates really want, and it’s more than just the payout.

Also, you may have heard that the AC Affiliate Manager Certification and Training program will be launched on February 23rd at Affiliate Summit in Vegas.

In this issue you’ll get a brief preview of what the training and certification will include.

Also, communicating with affiliates means more than just sending out a monthly newsletter. There are actually ten important ways you can remain in contact with your affiliates and keep your product at the top of their marketing venture.

Incorporate a few more of these in your communication efforts and you should see the needle move on your affiliate program.

Finally, why are affiliates living overseas sometimes rejected automatically for U.S. programs?

In an article by an affiliate living in Spain, you’ll find reasons to reconsider your approach to these affiliates.
