Posted by Tim on Monday, September 29, 2008
Here is a list of the top 33 affiliate marketing forums.
- 5 Star Affiliates
Alexa: 134,671 | Compete: 22,639 | Members: 7,000+ | PR: 4
5 Star Affiliates is one of the best all around sources for affiliate marketing information and networking. Linda Bouquet, the owner of the site, does a great job of providing free resources for anyone interested in affiliate marketing. They specialize in helping new affiliate marketers get started and pointed in the right direction. The forum is pretty active and all topics revolve around the affiliate marketing world. The moderators are also very quick to help and answer questions. There is also a thread for affiliate managers to post their affiliate program for feedback and review!
- Affiliate Forum
Alexa: 249,190 | Compete: 452,526 | Members: 2,000+ | PR: 4
Affiliate Forum seems to sometimes be un-moderated with the amount of "spam" posts that are posted daily, but always has a few hundred active users online at any given time. Posts can at times receive a lot of views, but responses are few and far between. The fact that the domain is "AffiliateForum.com" guarantees them a certain amount of affiliate traffic, so even though there is a lot of spam, it's one not to ignore. A thread for website reviews is also available here.
- Search Engine Watch
Alexa: 19,877 | Compete: 3,357 | Members: 15,000+ | PR: 7
Search Engine Watch Forums is a very popular forum for SEO and affiliate marketing topics. The more active in the community you are, the more boards and threads that you have access to post to. They have a small section dedicated to affiliate marketing but still gets a lot of traffic and attention.

This is a nice list here, and I have input on three of them. I agree that the DP forum is great, but like you said, there are a lot of spammers there. If you sift through the threads though, there is some good information.
The Warrior forum is great too. Not as much spammers, and more experienced marketers. Some of the top people hang out there and there is some great info (the WSO sections is nice too).
The Wealthy Affiliate forum is great too. Most of the active users are newbies, but a lot of veteran marketers have made excellent posts that are stickied there. Tons of great info for even intermediate marketers. I also enjoy some smaller forums not mentioned on the list. Forums are a great interactive way to learn things.

Internet Marketing Affiliate P says:
Who started the concept of an <a href="http://www.internetmarketing-affiliateprogram.com/">internet marketing affiliate program</a>? As far as we know, the idea originated with Amazon.com back in the 1990's. They began recruiting other websites to promote their business by hosting advertising banners, balloons, popups, info, etc. and paying the host sites whenever they generated business.

7. I have always been curious about functionality in websites and, well, the world in general. I read this article with great interest. It does seem to me that the reason we comment is to speak our minds so why not have the comment field first? However, as others have pointed out, one gets used to the conventions regardless of reason.
