I didn't know Jeff Bezos(Amazon CEO) invented affiliate marketing.

Good read.

he didn't.. it says CDnow did:


In November 1994, almost a full year before Amazon.com even launched its Web site, the venerable CDNow (www.cdnow.com) began its buyweb program. With its buyweb program, CDNow was the first to introduce the concept of an affiliate or associate program with its idea of click-through purchasing through independent, online storefronts.

of course, anyone can add or change stuff on wikipedia, so you know whether EVERYTHING is 100% accurate
