Dina Riccobono, Mike Kelly and Debby Phillips from Market Leverage got busted and are in the slammer! At least that’s the way it looks from the photo above.
Actually what’s going on is that I sent them some Affiliate Confession T-shirts and jokingly mentioned that it would be great if they could do something to get arrested and appear on America’s Most Wanted, all while wearing the shirts of course. I figured this would be great promotion for the blog here. While it would probably be better for their careers and their permanent records (you know, the one they have on you since before kindergarten) if they didn’t get their mugshots on national TV, they willingly played along with the joke and came up with the creative photo.
If you haven’t noticed something here, you should by now.
Market Leverage is goofy, well yea, but they’re different too. How many other affiliate ad networks would go to this much trouble have fun with a little joke such as this? I really appreciate the way ML just engages with bloggers and what’s going on around the net by sponsoring contests, being easy to deal with and actually reading blog posts and commenting appropriately. Believe it or not I have had some people promoting ad networks and products for affiliates that just swoop in and are nothing but hyped promotion, not so with ML. In fact Debby left several comments on my blog before I even checked out her link.
I also appreciate the way emails are answered either the same day, usually within an hour or two and many times within a few minutes of me posing a question or asking about an offer. Everyone knows, you just don’t find email service like that with many affiliate networks. Most of the time you’re lucky to get your questions answered at all. Really, it’s an absolute pleasure dealing with ML and I’m sure you will find the exact same experience.
If you’d like to get personal service, check out some great offers, spend some time in jail (joking), and make some money, join the gang at America’s Most Wanted affiliate network, join Market Leverage.

It seems like every day the latest blog contest being run here at Affiliate Confession keeps getting better and better courtesy of Market Leverage. I emailed Dina over at ML for a graphic that showed all the prizes they were sponsoring which included the Flip Mino video camera, a 2GB USB pen and a $50 rewards card and she said she’d see what she could do. I assumed Dina meant she would send over a pic with all the prizes in it, instead she located an iPod Nano to add to the already nice prize cache.
I already blogged about the additional prizes ML was sponsoring yesterday before I found out about the additional iPod Nano they were adding to the prize mix, thus another post today.
The total prizes equal something over $500 in value now and the list of goodies besides what Market Leverage is offering include:
A Nintendo DS Lite plus 2 games
A USB Missile Launcher
A Banana Bunker (you have to see this)
and a couple bonus prizes courtesy of myself and Vat19.com, Purveyors of Curiously Awesome Products.
Everyone who has entered the contest so far is of course eligible for the additional prizes because all the prizes will be going to one person. So if you haven’t entered yet, read the contest rules and get your entry in for a chance to win over $500 in prizes. The winner will be announced June 25th.
