Marketing is one of those domains that's being summarily thrown on its own head right now. Like finance and manufacturing, marketing has long been something that existed without waves and changes. TV ads were the greatest currency, followed by radio and newspaper coverage. If you had the exposure and the audience, you had the sales, and even the most blunt and ineffective marketing campaign could get by with enough faces looking at it.

Sound familiar? That was the face of the marketing world just ten years ago, when mass marketing was still the flavor of the month and consumers still responded to incentives laid out on mainstream TV. Boy, how things have changed since then. Nowadays, companies are slowly realizing just how ineffective that method of marketing is becoming, and are rapidly switching to a new model built on value creation, interaction and massive customer feedback potential.

Affiliate marketers should be leading the way online. Lets face it - they've got the most riding on it. When you're an affiliate marketer, all your sales rely on consumer confidence, spending patterns and quality of your products. When you're getting people onto your websites, you need those conversions, and anything other than a buy is something best avoided. Traffic just doesn't work any more. You need targeted traffic where you once needed any old traffic, and you're beginning to need evangelized traffic where targeted traffic once worked.
