We have one year membership for an affiliate to the AffiliateFairPlay Affiliate Marketing Testing Service (go ahead and click that link if you are unsure what the Service is about, it’s not there just for SEO purposes) up for grabs. RhinoFish Media, one smart guy on all things affiliate marketing and pay-per-click search, has generously sponsored a full year membership for an affiliate.

So how can you win a one year membership? First is the obvious; you have to be an affiliate. Sometimes you have to say the obvious just to be sure. :) If you are an affiliate, the rest is easy. Just let us know you’d like a chance to win by commenting in this thread.

On Monday Nov. 13th, we will randomly select a winner. The winner will be posted here as well as contacted by the email address provided when they comment. So be sure to use an email addy you at least check periodically. ;) And we promise to only use it to contact the winner.

So comment away. Maybe you will be the lucky one to have Rhinofish pay for your one year affiliate subscription to our Service. Don’t be shy……..
