The fact that auctions are lasting longer than the affiliate's referral cookies, and that bidders won't usually bid until the end of an auction, is a real buzz kill.

If you're serious about getting into affiliate marketing, these are some superior choices. Have you had any success marketing products as an affiliate? Let me hear about it in the comments.
