Smart Marketing: The Envato Marketplaces

Not only does the Envato marketplace deliver high quality products, but their core group of companies are great examples of web standards across the board.  If you’re not familiar with Envato:

“The Envato Marketplaces are ActiveDen, AudioJungle, CodeCanyon, ThemeForest, GraphicRiver, VideoHive, 3DOcean, CodeCanyon and the Tuts+ Marketplace. They are a set of interconnected sites that allow anyone to buy or sell all sorts of digital products, ranging from website templates, to tutorials, to royalty free stock graphics. When you create an account on one, it will work on any of them!”

Envato really has a great social networking support system with each company in total control over their own products, and yet can still depend on the stability of being part of a great team.  I really enjoy the design behind the affiliate website WorkAwesome.
