My Presentation @ Affiliate Summit East 2007 by Amit Mehta links to video presentations of various affiliate marketers from the Affiliate Summit East. I’ve been a fan of Amit’s for a couple of months now and this is what I’ve been waiting for. Amit’s video is session 3c and is 1 hour and 1 minute long.
