One of my sincerest hopes in blogging here is to bring new ideas to light and one of those ideas that I'm most excited about in the affiliate space is seeing affiliates move beyond Google.

You know, a few years back Google had us all convinced that we would never get an rank in their search engine if we all didn't put Google ads on our websites. What a load fly dung that was! One had nothing to do with the other.

But what did happen was that Google successfully took over the Web, and we helped them do it. Remember when Google was the search engine that webmasters endorsed? What were we thinking?!!

So, now we're seeing new income streams for affiliates.

Life beyond Google includes NetTraction, Adgenta, CrispAds, Text Link Ads, Intelli Txt, Peak Click, DoubleClickTribal Fusion, Adbrite, Clicksor, Industry Brains, AdHearUs, Kanoodle, AVN, Pheedo, Adknowledge, YesAdvertising, RevenuePilotTextAds, SearchFeed, Target Point, Bidvertiser, Fastclick Value Click and OneMonkey, MSN Adcenter and YPN from Yahoo.

I'd really encourage you to check these advertisers out and see how they can help your affiliate future.
