History
The first affiliate program directory was Refer-it.com. Refer-it.com was launched by James Marciano in October 1997. Refer-it was sold to Alan Meckler's company internet.com (now Jupiter Media on the NASDAQ: JUPM) in April 1999. The second but oldest still existing affiliate program directory is AssociatePrograms.com, which was launched in February 1998 by Allan Gardyne. AffiliateGuide.com, Associate-it, CashPile.com and ReveNews.com launched also later in 1998, but none of them survived to this day except for AffiliateGuide.com. ReveNews.com is now an affiliate marketing news blog.
