As the owner of ShareASale.com, one of the countries largest Affiliate Marketing Networks, I’ve unfortunately seen a lot of harm done to our industry with the inception of the State-level “Nexus” laws.
When Illinois passed their version of the law earlier this year (2011) we saw a flood of termination letters go by with Merchants of all sizes cancelling their Affiliate Marketing contracts in Illinois in order to avoid “nexus”.
This causes two things:
1. No nexus – no tax money for the state = no level playing field.
2. Affiliate Marketers lose their jobs.
I don’t think this is the “fair” thing to do – and it certainly isn’t productive.
I support a Federal solution and will help to get the job done.
