Attendees at the sold out conference Feb. 24 - 26, 2008 will be able to meet the Affspy team and register to be one of only 100 affiliates for the initial beta launch of the program, according to Stephen Gill, founder and CEO of Affspy, Inc. A live demo of the site will be provided.

Affspy.com is free for affiliates, and instantly allows users to discover which offers perform best as well as which networks pay the most for each offer. Affiliates may then sign up and promote offers with networks that best meet their needs.

“Affspy.com provides great exposure for participating networks as we allow them to gain access to a much larger community of affiliate marketers outside the boundaries of their current network. We invite attendees of the Affiliate Summit to meet us at table 90 in the ‘Meet Market’ on the first day of the conference, Feb. 24 from noon to 6 p.m.,” said Gill.

“Affspy.com was built to offer a simple yet efficient solution to assist a disorganized industry in need of transparency,” he added.

Gill is an experienced internet marketer and “super affiliate” with a strong background in search engine marketing. He said he was inspired to create Affspy.com because he saw many problems with the current environment for affiliates.

Gabriel Malca, chief technical officer, has a degree in software engineering from McGill University, and eight years of experience in online web development projects.

Aymen Boughanmi, chief marketing officer, has been involved in internet marketing since 1999. He created Affspy.com to give affiliate marketers an edge in a competitive and rapidly growing industry.
