Recommended forums

Forums are an invaluable resource for any web developer, marketer, publisher or entrepreneur. They are the source of endless amount of information and lessons learnt from seasoned pros. A great forum has a real sense of community and a place where people are there to help each other out.

I am a self confessed forum freak. In other words, I spend way too much time participating in forums. But it is all good fun and I don’t know where I’d be without them. Here are some of the best that I use:

Affiliates4u Forum

Affiliates4u Forum is the UK's biggest and best affiliate marketing forum. It is the place to go if you want to discuss anything to do with affiliate marketing, whether you are an affiliate yourself, a merchant, or just someone who wants to learn. There is an American equivalent as well.
