[Linda Buquet]

We'd like to welcome everyone to the new Amazon Affiliate (Associate) discussion forums.

We are VERY excited to have on board someone who knows more about the Amazon Associates Program than almost anyone.

Gene Kavner is the former World-Wide Director of the Amazon Associate Program and currently does comprehensive Affiliate Marketing Analysis, and Consulting with a focus on Amazon Associates and eCommerce.

His company AffiliateBrand and his information-filled blog can be found at
http://www.affiliatebrand.com/. Gene blogs regularly about affiliate marketing with a focus
on Amazon and will be using this 5 Star Amazon forum as an adjunct and extension of his AffiliateBrand blog.

If you have questions about Amazon or the associate program
Gene probably has the answers or can get them for you.

Please join me in extending a BIG 5 Star Welcome to Gene.

Hello and welcome to the Amazon Associates Forum.

My name is Gene Kavner and I have the pleasure to be the moderator of this forum. While the purpose of this forum is for those of you who are already a part of the Amazon Associates program help answer questions from your fellow Associates, I will do my best to get you answers as well.

Over the last year, I have had the privilege of serving as the World-Wide Director of the Amazon Associates program and bringing you many exciting tools such as the Amazon aStore, Omakaze links, Product Previews, Gift Certificate payments, and many other under-the-cover improvements that you may not be able to easily see but still offer tremendous value.

I have recently left Amazon.com to concentrate on my entrepreneurial efforts, so any advice I can offer you now, while not officially sanctioned by Amazon.com, still represents the wealth of knowledge I have collected while running the most successful affiliate program in the world.

I currently publish a blog called AffiliateBrand.com where I offer more detailed analysis about the Amazon Associates program, affiliate marketing, and eCommerce. Please feel free to browse and subscribe.

Hi Gene,

Welcome again to our forum. I can't tell you how pleased we are to have you on board. I see a big need for Amazon associates to have a place to go where they know they can get good answers and support.

I hope Amazon affiliates will come to know 5 Star as a place where they can get what they need. With your help, I'm sure they will!
