Thanks for the reply, Linda.
Certainly it sounds a familiar situation as well - seems that plenty of more experienced SEO's have a good portfolio of affiliate programs. I think I may well have room to develop something, too.
Will try to hang around - very familiar with you across other forums, such as SEW, DP, etc, and you seem to be setting yourself up very much as a lead campaigner for affiliate marketing.
I'll try and stay around this forum and get some good tips, and maybe offer some where I can.
