It’s that time of year again! 2010 sure has gone fast.

It’s been busy at Affilorama over the past 12 months – we’ve welcomed many new members to our community, launched AffiloJetpack, and taken pleasure in helping our members over the hurdles and towards success with their affiliate marketing businesses.
