MML was always a big help in looking at things in the days on Picpost and TGP.
But I will have to say the most helpful guy back in the day for many of us wasnt an affiliate rep at all. And he taught many of us how to build banners and links that not only drew clicks but converted.

Andy Dunn wrote that sexswap newsletter each week for a few years and it was a great read. I got more information and tips from that short email in those days than from any affiliate rep or the magazines for that matter.
