If you were lucky enough to be with me here at Gnomedex in Lake Tahoe, California, then you already know that Paypal‘s Dave McClure moderated a panel entitled “The Future of Online Advertising”.
Panelists included Jeff Barr of Syndic8 (a favorite site of mine), Henry Copeland of BlogAds (which I’ve written about in my article BlogAds: An Advertising Network Specifically for Weblogs), Bill Flitter of Pheedo.com, Mark Pincus of Tribe.net and Gokul Rajaram of Google’s Adsense team (which I’ve written about quite extensively on this site, including Partner with Google and Make Money).
Dave shared a list of links to different Web sites that offer a good starting point for learning more about the future of online advertising and was kind enough to share them with me for this weblog.
With that introduction, here’s the list:

Hi Yvonne. I would say that the best way to start with an affiliate program is to considering signing up with someone like Commission Junction (www.cj.com) as they are the market leader in this space. Alternatively, join me at the Affiliate Summit 2006 in Las Vegas and you’ll be able to talk with lots of different affiliate solution providers from throughout the industry.

Hello Dave,
Taking your advise and trying to set up an affliate program. I have a landscape design software I sell on-line. I have a few takers already but I’m stuck as to how to do the behind the scene stuff, and I’m also looking for a could contract.
Where do I start?
You and I have chatted before about your Google book.
