The Mikey Yack-Attack Introduces Fabu.com!

The world as we know it will never be the same again. At least the online shopping component of the world. Today, the universe, for the first time ever, can experience the rush of fabu.com fever.

Let me explain to you what this is all about. Fabuloussavings.com is a large coupon affiliate. Mikey Yack is the president, co-founder, commander-in-chief and secretary of defense of this company.

If you work for an affiliate network, Mikey is a VIP (very important partner). His portrait should be on display in the Perfomics boardroom. A Mikey statue ought to be erected in the CJ cafeteria. And my gut tells me that Steve Denton keeps a Michael Yack photo in his wallet. Mikey won an innovatice affiliate award at Linkshare this year.

If you are on the merchant side of things (may the forces be with you), Mikey is on your speed dial and every once in a while, just to keep things fresh, you probably inject his name & affiliate ID, into your prayers. Why? Because as a super affiliate possessing super marketing powers, you want this man and his staff on your team.

Personal anecdote that only Mikey can vouch for; back in my affiliate marketing years, I was having a difficult time getting a hold of Mr. Yack. So, I did what any desperate affiliate manager would do under these circumstance; I wrote & emailed Mikey a personal poem, describing my desire to work with his site. It worked. True story.(FYI, Mikey and I want to make a TV show together. It’s top secret.)

Anyways, (need to use the word “anyways” in every blog post at least once) Mikey and his group have launched a new coupon site called fabu.com. You can read more about the site here. More about Mikey here. Contest here. Screen shot below.

Merchants evolve and launch new initiatives all the time. It’s great to see affiliates doing the same. Mikey has assured me that he will NOT be penning a tell-all ebook titled “How I Made a Billion Dollars Last Month Thanks to Affiliate Marketing, so Please Buy this Ebook for Fifteen Dollars, even though…wait…wait…here it comes….I just Made ANOTHER MILLION Dollars this Hour. So PLEASE Download the Book Here or Purchase the Audio CD on Amazon.com, By Shopping Through My Amazon.com Affiliate Link.”

    This must be one of the worst posts on Revenews – is this a plug or what? What is the point of your post? Why is FABU better than any other affiliate website.

  • Jason Georgson

    I agree… wtf shmully?!?

  • Simon

    Holy crap another coupon site , OH MY GOD. WOW. WOW. I agree wit hthe first post. This must be one of the worst posts on Revenews ever

    Naturally, I am offended by the above comments.

    Especially the ones stating that this was the "worst revenews blog ever".

    Please! I've written far worse posts in the past. And I promise to out-worse this one in the future!

  • Jerry

    Haha , nice comeback, but really, why are you plugging a coupon site that has less traffic and is no better than about 100 other ones out there?

    There you go again, Shmul… tapping into that affiliate anger — you know, the venom that affiliates who are less successful tend to spew. There's nothing more offensive than posting about someone's innovation.

    Mikey's new venture is as unique as the man who created it. As the cartooned faced Shawn Collins would say, "It's all about relationships" and Mikey is definitely a big player. Nice post, Shmul and belated happy b-day.
