Is 2008 the year of the affiliate video as stated by Shawn Collins at http://www.affiliatetip.com? We believe there is some truth to that here at ToolKing.com. First, videos can easily be recorded and uploaded to the internet where it can be seen by the 138 million Americans (approximately 75% of Internet Users) who viewed online videos in November of 2007. Second, we are starting to see support from websites like BubblePLY and affiliate programs where the affiliate tracking code can now be integrated with the video.

Tool King Coupon Code: TKDPD15

Tool King's first coupon for the year and might also be Tool King's last coupon for the year. Will Tool King Coupon Code TKDPD15 be Tool King's only coupon for the year? Sounds like it from just reading the first statement.

Actually, Coupon Code TKDPD15 is valid for the whole year and won't be expired until December 31, 2008. To clarify the first statement, Tool King Coupon Code TKDPD15 won't be the only coupon for the year, but will probably be the last one valid for the year. I hope that cleared up any confusion.

With Tool King Coupon Code TKDPD15, your customer will be able to take 15% off any Delta, DeWALT, and Porter Cable accessory (excludes batteries, chargers, and tools). Just apply the coupon code when your customer checks out at ToolKing.com.
