Affiliate Marketing

I'm learning more about affiliate marketing revenue, where partner sites drive traffic and sales to a major site for a commission. Looking for more info, but one site highlighting programs for affiliates to sign up for is http://www.abestweb.com/. Bookmarking this resources here.

Kleiner Perkins invested in this??

lockerz.com is an "invite only" site where cool people can buy cool stuff, consumer cool media, and hang out with their cool friends.

I must not be the target demographic for lockerz.com because I don't aspire to be a member of the ghetto cool crowd.

theladders.com caught my attention in last week's wall street journal because its tagline is ">$100K jobs for >$100K talent". Similar to LinkedIn's job board, you can search for jobs by location and position title. However, you need to pay for a special membership ($35/month) to actually apply for the job (and I imagine see the name of the company hiring).
