Top 5's "Top 5 Of February" =======================================================
Every month, Top 5 will list the "Top 5" affiliate programs
as determined by total sales/sales dollars recorded for our
APFWM/N Group related sites (I know it's March, this is
for the previous month's sales...!)

#1 "Six Figure Income" (As of approximately 8:22 PM CST, 2-22-
2001, SFI officially reached ONE MILLION affiliates!)
#2 Declan Dunn's ActiveMarketPlace (Declan's on the move!)
#3 Mark Joyner's "ROIbot" (Down, but still in "the hunt"...)
#4 The Online Classified Club (Back in the Top 5!)
#5 Corey Rudl's "Internet Marketing Center"
(Totally revamped his website...)

Honorable Mention - Steve Manning's "Write A Book Now!"
(...and while I have your attention, Join The E-zine Ad Swap List!)

If it seems like the top programs change very little each month,
it's because the best don't become that way without reason...
Well, that's our "Top 5" for February. Check them out and hopefully
you'll have as much success with them as we have.

Good Luck In Your Ventures, Mike Merz Top5/APFWM/N Group
