Even as the affiliate marketing industry awaits answers from the government regarding New York sales tax law as it affects affiliate marketing, the industry is working to get answers and find solutions that will help affiliate marketers navigate this new development. Three industry leaders who've been leading the search for those answers and solutions joined PartnerCentric President Linda Woods Thursday for a special hour-long edition of Affiliate Marketing Insider, Woods' weekly broadcast on WebmasterRadio.fm.

Affiliopolis.com President Cecily Lancit, ShareASale President Brian Littleton and 5StarAffiliatePrograms.com President Linda Buquet joined Woods to share their insights into this evolving development and what it means for affiliates and merchants. A recording of the hour-long broadcast is available on WebMasterRadio.fm at http://www.webmasterradio.fm/Show-Hosts/Linda-Woods/.

Among the key points discussed in this podcast:
* What three options merchants have at this point
* What the industry is doing to learn how to comply with the tax law
* How merchants are under-reacting to this new law, and how that under-reaction might come back to haunt them
* Why this isn't the last time taxation will be an issue for Internet merchants and their affiliates
* What resources are available online for staying up to date on this issue

Lancit, Littleton, Buquet and Woods are going to continue to work together to find and share answers with respect to this issue. Future broadcasts will include updates on their progress. In the mean time, feel free to contact Linda Woods with your comments and questions.
