Most of you know this better than anyone else in the world; but even as this business continues to grow; much stays the same. There are still three constituents involved in the business and all of us together have to make sure we are conducting good commerce. Commerce is good; it is one of the engines that helps mankind progress. We have a great commerce engine that we all work in. We have all of these creative Vendors that we all work with. There are over 100 new products approved each day. I also have the privilege of seeing the new ideas the vendors want to include in the ClickBank marketplace. I am amazed at the new ideas they bring to the business we all work in. We have to make sure the products get the right visibility to the affiliates and make sure we continue to enhance the tools in the marketplace to make them even more money. One of those aspects we have to continue to provide is full transparency and fairness in the marketplace and make sure we continue to increase the size of the affiliate network.
