Affiliate Marketing blog by James Little

I’m after some help.

Can anyone explain to me the whole DGM and Linkedin thing?  It’s being advertised on the Affiliates4u site at the moment but I just don’t understand the benefits of it.  I get (and use) linkedin - it’s a great site for connecting with business contacts, getting some good introductions & finding who some of the key employees are at a company, great.

But what’s the point of having a link to it in DGM?   I’ve not managed to spend the time digging out my login details (as I’ve not used DGM since the launch of DGMP..) but their website doesn’t really seem to explain what it does and the benefits of the mashup (if you can call it that).  Is it just for getting in contact with whoever manages the campaign at the merchant?  If so what’s the benefit of linkedin over an email address (or a comms centre)?

Answers on a the back of a postcard (or in the comments..).

I’ve not done much link building for a while now, but looked back and found the following sites that I used to use for directories - all of which at the time were free and didn’t require any reciprocal links but it’s been a while since I used them so some may have changed their policies.

Here’s the list - please leave a comment if I’m missing some out that the world should know about, especially UK specific ones. I’ll have a look through them all when I have some spare time and find out if they are all still active (and free).
