I saw this on the UK news yesterday. The European parliament is implementing a new privacy law (from 25th May) that will require websites to get "explicit consent" to track users via cookies.
My immediate thought was that any affiliate marketers that target the European markets will need to adapt to this somehow, otherwise affiliate tracking cookies will be useless.

Marketing Your Marketing Articles Through RSS Feeds
Article marketing and marketing your articles go hand in hand. Any articles you write for your own income (and not for clients) will need to be marketed online to ensure they reach the top of the search results. In general this means getting backlinks, sharing your work with your social networks and writing more articles to promote your other articles at venues such as Ezine. But what about using RSS feeds for online marketing?
Many of the article publishing sites allow you to easily create an RSS feed of your latest articles and therefore, submitting these feeds to RSS aggregators may be one method of marketing your articles that you have overlooked. Hubpages makes it very easy for writers to create a multitude of RSS feeds to promote their work, so if you haven't signed up yet you might want to give HubPages a try.
You may have seen at the top of this blog that I'm currently taking part in the 60 Day Challenge on Hubpages. The 60 Day Challenge involves writing 30 articles in 30 days and then spending an additional 30 days marketing my own articles, as well as the articles written by the rest of the group. The group article marketing is being achieved through the promotion of RSS feeds (as well as other methods which I will be writing about when we get to that part of the challenge).
I know the basics of RSS. I know how to create a feed and I know some places to promote them, but to be honest my knowledge of RSS feeds and how best to use them is limited. This was one of the main reasons that I decided to take the 60 Day Challenge; so that I can learn more about this method of article promotion.
I've also been thinking for a while about the potential benefits for article writers to join forces and work together to increase everyone's revenue and traffic, so this challenge has come at just the right time for me. I don't think I could have thought up such a great way for a team to build on each other successes, and so many thanks to sunforged over at HP for coming up with the idea of the 60 Day Challenge.
We are just at the end of week one and still in the writing phase, so there is not a great deal to report yet. I will be adding to my Making Money Online Challenge Log daily, but I will only be adding my traffic levels and earnings from Adsense and Amazon on a fortnightly basis. Hopefully we'll see both rising and that marketing articles through RSS feeds proves to be a good method of promotion!
