Next week on the Affiliate Thing my co-host Shawn Collins and I will be talking with Tara Hunt, an online marketing expert. She’s got a great blog (with a great name) and we’ll be talking with her about Pinko Marketing, scalable relationship building, why PR doesn’t work, and what particular companies that are doing interesting marketing things. We’ll also be chatting about the regular weekly affiliate happenings. Tune in. You can also check out other interview from this week with Converseon CEO Rob Key.

Not much else to report. We are hard at work putting the hundreds of final touches on the May/June issue of the magazine, which goes to the printer next week. The upcoming issue will include in-depth articles that examine CRM strategies and how bringing customers deeper into the online marketing equation can positively impact revenue; a probing look at Web 2.0 and what the means to online marketers; the globalization of online marketing; reputation management and why it’s now a key component of doing business; why marketers are making virtual worlds such as Second Life a big part of their marketing push; how politics is heating up with performance marketing and much, much more.
