A former affiliate network executive has written a memoir of his life and times at an affiliate network called The Affiliate Code.

The Affiliate Code is “a fictionalized story of a California technology company that will do anything to bring in the big publishers and advertisers to their affiliate network.”

It seems the stories in this book, being released 4-1-06, are so explosive that the author is remaining anonymous.

If this author is somebody that knows all of the secrets and their stories are so dicey they can’t identify themselves, it’s bound to be a page turner.

The site for The Affiliate Code, www.theaffiliatecode.com, references how the affiliate network was conceived on a cocktail napkin at a bar.

And according to a press release for The Affiliate Code, the author is one of the main characters, “a graduate of an Ivy League University (who) spent more than nine years as an executive of an affiliate network. After spending most of his career at the affiliate network, he recently retired, and now he is ready to lift the kimono.”

Sounds like the affiliate marketing equivalent to the book, Primary Colors, a fictionalization of Bill Clinton’s first bid for the Democratic presidential nomination.

I have a couple ideas about the identity of the author, but I’m going to hold off until I can grab a copy of the book and read through it.

According to the publisher, ICCWorldWide Publishing, The Affiliate Code is a “new breed of lightning-paced, intelligent thriller - utterly unpredictable right up to its stunning conclusion.”
