Affiliate marketers like to utilize the term web 2.0 and provide their own interpretation of what it means. While some interpretations are better than others, most of the interpretations are focused on the consumer marketer and how they can reach their market more effectively, but how does this help the business marketers?

Business Marketers are focused on a different set of priorities.  Given today’s market realities, the business marketer needs to find a way to reach their target audience better, faster and more cost effectively. A business marketer is focused on targeting the right industry, job title, employee size, etc.

Successful business marketers are utilizing real business networks that reach their market. Be careful, many consumer-based networks claim they reach business people, but if you look closely, they are targeting a massive amount of people through consumer sites. The fact is that only true business networks that rely on business and technology related web sites, publications and products can collect, store and offer the business select-ability to reach the business professionals at their place of work and provide quality leads.
