&lt;p&gt;AWeber has been around for a while (as long as I&amp;#39;ve been in the business). If you&amp;#39;re an affiliate marketer marketing to other marketers, you&amp;#39;ll be interested in the modifications as the new policies have been influenced by actual aWeber affiliates - a nice touch. AWeber surveyed its affiliates for feedback on several key issues, including commissions and cookie length, and made some adjustments to the program based on the responses. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;Changes to the AWeber affiliate program now include:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Commission are increasing to 30%&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Second-tier commissions are being phased out&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Affiliate cookies will be one year&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Minimum check payout will be $30 for US affiliates and $50 for non-US affiliates.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;All of these changes will be effective on April 8, 2009. The only exception will be the PayPal payment option, which will be available in the near future.&lt;/p&gt;
