Aside from being the President of Venezuela, Hugo Chavez on Saturday turned into an affiliate marketer, maybe even a super affiliate by giving United States President Barack Obama a copy of Eduardo Galeano’s book ‘The Open Veins of Latin America”.  As footage of the encounter appeared on the web, and traditional media sources like TV and radio the book shot up Amazon.com’s paperback sales chart from number 54,295 all thw way to sixth place within 24 hours.

I hope Mr. Chavez had his tracking pixels set up correctly on his confirmation page….
