Black Friday is almost upon us - the day after Thanksgiving and one of the busiest retail shopping days of the year.

Being the big Bangles fan I am, it occurred to me that today is Manic Monday for affiliates - one of the few business days this week to set things up to optimize affiliate sites for Black Friday.

I got a timely e-mail from Performics today that helps my affiliate efforts during this crazy three day week.
