Affiliate Summit West 2009 was in Las Vegas again, and as we’ve already mentioned, the show was much improved over last year’s AffSum East 2008. Here are a few lingering thoughts about the conference’s high-points. We arrived in time to see the keynote by Gary Vaynerchuk. If any speaker is going to pump you up [...] (more)
Last fall I attended “Affiliate Summit East 2008” (the affiliate marketing conference) in Boston and it left me unenthusiastic (to put it nicely) about attending future Affiliate Summits. But conference co-founder Shawn Collins did an excellent job of managing his brand and contacted me quickly about the concerns I shared on this blog. Ultimately I [...] (more)

Putting on a show of this size takes a lot of work and coordination, and the organizers (and some [...] (more)
I was literally stunned by a couple of the ‘break out’ sessions at Affiliate Summit in Boston. Stunned at how underprepared and/or underqualified the speakers were.

Earlier this year I posted a list of the biggest and best internet marketing conferences. There are a few that I attend regularly, traveling to various cities to catch up on industry trends, network, and basically get out of the office for a few days. But in addition to those old favorites, I’m always looking [...] (more)
It’s been estimated that 65% – 85% of small businesses in the US don’t even have a website. But those in that growing minority are increasingly looking for enterprise-level services (like e-mail marketing, website analytics, ad serving, and customer resource management (CRM)) at small business prices. The challenge is that the “best of breed” offerings [...] (more)
