Registration not until April Fools Day!
Starting from March 17 through April 1 2008, it will no longer be possible to register through Commission Junction. Please check back on April 1 for more information on how to register on the new eBay Partner Network.
With an organization this big, it's almost nice to see them go in-house.
For site publishers, this will be a task in itself converting links, RSS feeds, widgets and such.
I'm curious to know if they'll be offering a 2-tier system, PayPal payments and sign-up incentives.
