Overtstock has notified it’s 3400 New York based affiliates that they’ve been dumped effective June 1st, 2008. One New York-based affiliate on Shawn Collin’s blog commented that he’d already been dropped by 4 Linkshare merchants.

And just in case you don't read all of the comments on Shawn's blog, this is from MediaTrust.

"This is an issue that can become a problem for the industry if we as an industry don’t address it. Please spread the word as we work with the IAB to assemble information about the impact this has on affiliate marketing. I will send updates thru Twitter http://twitter.com/mediatrust , http://www.RelevantlySpeaking.com and the affiliatepetition@gmail.com

It is very important that we collaborate as a community around this. The industry is fragmented and most affiliates are to small individually to have a voice. As we say at MediaTrust ” we are stronger as a collective then as individuals”. We all need to create a community voice and nip this or address it in a meaningful way. I believe leveraging the social media can help spread the word."
