I am not sure if you missed some of the back and forth between Larry Adams of Performics and Kris Jones of Pepperjam over the title of Larry Adam's Blog Post: "Publishers Spoke, We Listened". Apparently Kris felt the blog title was a little to similar to their "Affiliates have Spoken. Pepperjam Listened" marketing campaign they have been using. Here is a copy of the back of the shirt I got at Affiliate Summit:
In the comments of this Revenews blog post, Kris went as far as to suggest the following:
"Larry - we applied for the trademark “Affiliates Have Spoken. Pepperjam Listened.”
An Larry pointed out the following:
"I was at the Summit, although I can’t say that I remember any of your t-shirts; Vegas can be a distracting place. I’m not saying I never saw it but let’s just say that neither of us are going to get a trademark on the “[You] spoke, [we] listened” motto - http://tinyurl.com/yom86a"
All probably a little silly if you ask me, and when I put my Pepperjam T-shirt on this morning, It did all come back to me, and I thought it was odd, and interesting to note, that their TM mark on the T-shirt isn't actually on the phrase, it's on the Pepperjam term only.
Back to your regularly scheduled program...
These programs have been ok for me, but in the last several months I have been an affiliate with asseenontvnetwork and I have had great results with them. all of their products are constantly advertised on tv and that really helps.
