My name is Aia and I am an expert in affiliate programs management and consulting. I have been engaged in launching and managing many international affiliate programs and I am familiar with the various affiliate programs aspects- both from the merchants and webmasters point of view.
I am the CEO and founder of Inter-Dev, an israeli international web marketing firm.
Affiliate marketing has grown quickly since its inception. The e-commerce website, viewed as a marketing toy in the early days of the web, became an integrated part of the overall business plan and in some cases grew to a bigger business than the existing offline business.
