This had been a great guide for me and I believe it will be the same for most people in the industry. I would be implementing most of the ideas here as I proceed to develop our business for Vertical Market site and the SouthBeach Supplement sites.

It starts the conversation on showing the complexity of what's required to launch a program. It surprizes me that many companies still opt to go it alone when they launch an affiliate channel, rather than calling in a specialist consulting company. One word you used resonated with me: 'relaunch'. It would be far less neccessary for us to 'relaunch' and 'revitalize' affiliate programs if they were set up with more thought and research put into the initial planning. It seems that many merchants still shoot from the hip - rather than implemeting sustainable, viable, market related, innovate & research based programs that encourage publishers to promote them. (like I know us good OPM's do- After all we're paid to perform!) Perhaps it's time for an industry voice to promote our business values? hmmm, i feel a blog entry coming..... Nice article Jamie.

However, for the newbies there is one more hurdle - that is of getting traffic to their website. Very informative post.

Sure, it is lot of work to start one's own successful affiliate program. You should also include "Product design and development" - which again starts from marketing research.

One new angle is to use online PR and social networking to get the word out. If there are already 50 competitors in the category then it is hard to get noticed. Creating a PR buzz can get your head about the crowd and encourage affiliates to try your program. Great stuff Jamie, my process is a stack of word docs and excel spreadsheets.
