Hi guys, like some of you I got this email from the SEO Book affiliate program. Makes for interesting reading.
Do you think this is the end of the ebook? and what do you think the motivations here are?
Dear Geoff,
Over the course of the past couple years it became obvious to me that the perceived value of ebooks was dropping, the field of SEO was getting more complex, and many people who purchased my book wanted to be able to interact with me and ask me many questions. This caused me to need to change the SEO Book business model away from selling a downloadable ebook, and toward selling a web based information product backed by a community forum that helped turn it into a service more than a product.
I already have affiliate tracking in place for the new affiliate program. On February 20th at midnight I am going to shift the default affiliate traffic location to pointing at the new landing page instead of the old landing page, as we have no further plans to sell the SEO Book ebook.
If you are a top selling affiliate and would like a free 3 month trial of the new training program please send me an email at seobook@gmail.com.
For your convenience, here is your affiliate ID number, your username, and your password.
