Congrats to all!
It's so sad to see AdSense as the Best Affiliate Program 2005.
Something is wrong somewhere. Are Affiliates not making anymore money with real programs? Are the networks so bad they can't compete with Google?

[Neil]

I have to say, a big heads up to Geno :trophy:
You are an inspiration to us all,
your enthusiasm is relentless :biggrin:

[SSanf]

Congratulations to all and especially to Geno who really deserves his award! :trophy:

And, a big round of applause to SAS. Danged about time! http://forum.abestweb.com/images/icons/icon14.gif

[Greg Rice]

Wow, congrats to all!

[loxly]

Congrats to ALL!!! I think I hit 100% of the winners with my votes.... Oops, I voted for the Cancel thread!!!! I think that has been the best FUN stress relieving thread. Stretches the brain... :)

[Donuts]

Congratulations everyone!

SAS - way to go!!! Proof that it can be done well, done profitably and done with ethics!!! Bravo Zulu!

I agree, sad indeed. I'm not knocking AdSense (or similar ads for sites), just commenting on what's become of the profit potential of their alternatives.

[Kevin]

Gratz all.

[Steele]

I'm a little confused as to how WebMerge won in the "best affiliate tool" category. I'm seeing... ABW - 26 votes..... GoldenCan - 9 votes....... Webmerge - 6 votes.

[Haiko de Poel, Jr.]

Your right Steele, When I looked at it the ABW disappeared with the fourth world link - look at it and you'll see what I mean. I've amended the list above, and thank you.

[Geno Prussakov]

Congrats SaS, Mike, ABW and others... Chris, my sincere congratulations, but "I'll be baaaahck" (Arnold Schwarzenegger) next year! ;)

And now it :tequila: time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Have a wonderful weekend, everyone, and my appreciation goes to back to you all! Thank you for helping me learn what an AM needs to be! I promise to keep on perfecting the skill...


Yours,

Geno

[Angel Djambazov]

Congratulations Brian, Michael, Chris and Geno :applause:

[Susan]

This being the first time participating in an ABW Annual "Best" poll, I have to second loxly that most of my votes were winners. Congrats to all and may be the best 'people' win next year :-)

Cheers,

[MichaelColey]

Congratulations to all the winners and all the nominees! ABW is definitely the center for affiliate excellence.

[ecomcity]

Congrats to all the deserving winners.

[nish]

Congratulations everyone! Two of the winners are the one that I nominated. Yooohooo :)

[Chris - AMWSO]

That certainly made things exciting with the double run off for best AM !! :D

Thank you to everyone for your votes and congratulations, and more importantly for your support over the past year. It's my great pleasure to be able to work with everyone at ABW.

With the number of great AMs growing every year it keeps pressure on us all to constantly improve, to do more and do it better. Every Affiliate Manager who works towards making this industry better is a winner.

It's awesome to see new AMs like Geno doing so well and learning so fast.... then again .... maybe he's learning too fast and will win next year :D

Cheers

Chris

[Deb]

Congratulations all! I didn't hit the mark with all the winners, but it was tough having to choose. I've learned so much and been helped by so many of you here.

I'm glad to see Geno got a mention - he deserved an award.

[8millions]

Congratulations all , all deserve it except google!

Hi Chris,

I am having a weight loss related site selling phentermine, xenical, adipex etc diet pills. I am looking for a good affiliate marketing partner for my site, who provide all the details of their products(diet Pills) along with pic, descriptions, shopping cart etc with good commissions. Suggest me the best affiliate site for the same.

[Chris - AMWSO]

Hi Andy

Sorry I missed your post.

We don't run an diet pill / Rx firms at present time, our fitness programs are all work out based. For example Billy Blanks, The firm and the like, though Gaiam.com may have some of what you are looking for

Cheers

Chris
