First let me apologize to Erica and Valerie for the tardiness of this post. Back in August of 2011 I ran a little contest among the affiliate marketing experts that work at NetX. Our folks were asked to use their influence within the affiliate community in order to drive participation in our AffiliateBenchmarks research study. We tracked the results using unique links for each person and awarded the winners with cheesy cool trophies and free lunch for a month.

Erica Myones (right of photo) won the Most Connected Overall award for driving the most participants to our research project. This was not a surprising outcome since Erica is well connected as a result of her many years in the industry.

Valerie Russo (left of photo) won the Most Connected By Weight award (photo below). Val, an obviously fit person, won this award because she drove the most participants based on her tenure in affiliate marketing. This category was created to give everyone on the team an equal chance of winning.

Congrats to Erica and Val…NetX’s Most Connected Affiliate Experts!
